Hello!

My name is Jazmin Flores-Garcia, and I am from Federal Way, Washington! I am currently a 1st year, and my intended major is Business Analytics with a minor in real estate and Latino studies. Some facts about me are that I have a twin sister, a dog named Rio and played tennis all throughout high school. 

The reason I decided to study Japanese is because I've always had a dream of living in Japan whether it was through a study abord program or not. I want to explore a culture and language that is different from my own. I'm excited to see what I'll learn throughout the course of the semester!

    Hi Jazmin! I also played tennis in high school. I definitely recommend studying abroad if you get the chance to! I also chose to study Japanese to expose myself to a different culture.

    Hi Jazmin! It's wonderful to see that we have some of the same motivations for studying Japanese! When I first started learning the language, I saw myself living in Japan for a period of time.

    Hello Jazmin! Have you ever thought about where exactly would you live if one day you actually live in Japan?

    Hi Jazmin! Do you still play tennis now or have you stopped after coming to Notre Dame ?

Japan-related Video

While searching, I found and watched a YouTube video of a woman going to Kamakura, Japan. Throughout the video, the woman communicates what she was seeing and doing all in Japanese. This video made me realize how much more I need to learn and practice regarding Japanese, but also the progress I have made so far:) I was able to understand certain words and also read what was shown on the screen. I enjoyed learning about Kamakura and the wonderful place it seems to be. Hope I can visit one day!

Japan-related video #2

After watching a couple videos from the YouTube channel,  Akane-JapaneseClass , I decided to watch their video on ordering coffee in Japanese.                                                     Conversation for ordering coffee in Japanese   Watching their videos has given me the chance to learn real life conversations and situations in Japanese. They give you a perspective of going to a place where English isn't used, and what is looks and sounds like.  Throughout the video you not only see them ordering coffee and food in Japanese but also the polite and proper etiquette. I definitely plan to continue watching and learning from these videos of life in Japan.
