にじゅうねんごのわたし

にじゅうねんごのわたしはゆめいないしゃです。ソマリアやスーダンではたりきました。たいへんでしたがとてもたのしかったです。
そして、わたしはブラジルのあたらしいしゃちょうです。わたしのスローガンは”わたしたちは’トマ’だちですよ”でした。いいけいざいあほしです、がじぞくかのうなけいざいがいちばんほしいです。
にじゅうねんごわたしかけっこんします。それからこどもがふたりいます。
にじゅうごのわたしのせいかつはとてもすてきです。

コロンビアのせいかつになれてきています。クラスはむずかしですがとてもたのしいです。あたらしともだちはおもしろいです。
コロンビアのしゅくどうはべんりです。そしてたべものはままおいしです。

わたしのへやはあまりちさくありません。れいぞくやつくえがありますからとてもねりです。かべにしゃしんとはがきがありますからきれいです。わたしのへやがとてもすきです！

げつようびからもくようびまではちじにおきます。それから、べんきょします。でも、きにょうびからどようびまでひまです。しゅうまつにべんきょします。とけどけニューヨークのびじゅつかんへいきます。

ニューヨークわにぐいやかのまちです。とてもいそがしですたのしです。ニューヨークにいろいろなりょうりがあります。ニューヨークのレストランはとてもおいいしですがたかいです。

コロンビアとニューヨークがとてもすきです。

みやざきさんのあたらしいえいがは「風たちぬ」です。えいごで"The Wind Rises"です。らいねんのにがつにアメリカへきます。ひこうきのえいがです。
I am so excited to see this movie! This is sadly, Miyazaki's last movie, although Studio Ghibli will continue to exist. It is about the real life man that invented the Japanese planes used in World War II. It is his first historical movie and apparently it stirred up some controversy and touched upon contentious issues.This is the trailer for it, it looks beautiful and interesting as all his other movies!
きれいなえいがですね、おもしろいですね。

After losing the Second World War and under heavy American pressure, Japan relinquished it’s armed forces. Nowadays they just have peacekeeping forces, but it is constitutionally forbidden to have assemble an army. The conservatives in Japan are starting to call for a change in policies and for the creation of Japanese armed forces.
Miyazaki, through his movie, is trying to show how destructive war can be and has received some criticism for being “anti-Japan”. The main character in his movie that designed the plane used by Japan during the war, was “Just trying to make something beautiful” and not cause death. Just Einstein thought his theory could supply the world with infinite energy and not create the atomic bomb.
As you can imagine this is a very prickly topic, with good arguments for both sides, which the movie all the more interesting to see.
It is a cultural representation of Japan, as well a historical and political movie, of Japan’s past and in a way future.

ここはどこですか。とうきょうですか、きょうよですか。

いいえ、にほんじゃありません。ブラジルのサンパウロです！

That’s right, all these pictures are from Sao Paulo, Brazil, where I am from and where the biggest concentration of nihonjin outside of Japan exists! In the early 20th century there was a massive influx of japanese immigrants to Brazil. They were usually made to work very hard in coffee farms, often tricked into never ending debt by the farmers, and they suffered a lot of prejudice during the Second World War. But despite this, they were able to build a new better life for themselves and their children and today Japanese culture is very present and very appreciated in Brazil. Their are even some towns where most of the citizens have Japanese as their native tongue!

Here is a poster promoting immigration to Brazil.

きょねんのろくがつにわたしは日本へ行きました。きょうとでこのしゃしんをとりました。ろくがつはきょうとでぎおんまつりです。ぎおんまつりはとてもたのしいです。

My name is Ricardo, and I am very excited about learning Japanese. Brazil has a very large Japanese immigrant population, especially in Sao Paulo, where I come from, I myself am a quarter Japanese. Having always had some exposure to Japanese culture, I have always wanted to learn the language.
It is my first year in Columbia and started Japanese as soon as I could, however I was made to drop it because I was exceeding my credit limits and had to take all the other courses for my Majors ( Pre-Med and Anthropology).
I have just been able to re-take Japanese, and I am so happy. But I have a lot to catch up with! Hiragana, Katana, Grammar and Vocabulary, I lost a whole month of that!
So far, I like the way Japanese is so modular: the particles and verbs are really easy once you get use to them. I also find the words Japanese "borrows" from English very funny.

わたしはリカルドです。ブラジル人です、サンパウロか らきましたか。じゅうきゅうさいです。コロムビア大学（だいがく）の学生です（がくせい）、一年生です。
わたしは にほんごをべんきょうします.
