New Semester Starts on 4ll4l20l5 CIue)-Japanese lrssons at Kunitachi Kominkan

being an Economic Graduate in Hitotsubashi Univerisityfrom Vietnam. Four years ago, I arived in Japan when thefull bloom of cherry blossoms has just finished, Ieaving thegreen of new-bom leaves.

From that moment, I have had a series of first experiences
Iike living in a dorm, skiing, travelling using the Seishun 18
kippu for JR train, climbing Mt. Fuii. Along the way,I had
the chance to meet with Japanese and Vietnamese and otherforeigners living in Japan. I realized that so many foreigners
do not speak Japanese and so many Japanese are interested
in Vietnam. From last April,I began my Phd course, lvhere I
started to think about using my free time for something
meaningful. I decided to volunteer for community activities

in Kunitachi area and join the BETOAJI's Vietnamese

cooking class rvith a view to assisting people to connect
with each other beyond the language barriers.

first time to have training in disaster prevention.
Furthermore, I get to know about history and places inKunitachi, have the opportunities to join other activities ofKomikan such as Japanese cooking class, Japaoese speaking
salon, peace reading in Kunitachi. Through these activities, I

can learn from others' experiences in Japan, Japanese
language and culture. I have made more friends to whom I
can say hello on the way to school. Instead ofjust being aforeigner seeking for new experiences, I feel like becoming
a citizen Of Kunitachi.
