[Q]: Read the below conversation. M: Say, Lisa, what are you watching? W: A Japanese film. I'm going to spend all next year in Japan, and I'd better get to know more about its culture. M: You mean you are accepted into the program? W: Sure. M: That's wonderful. You must be excited. W: Excited and nervous. You know I must work on some basic conversation skills. M: How much Japanese can you understand? W: Only a little now. But I'll attend a special language class next month. M: I wish I were as clever as you are in foreign languages. I'd love to study abroad. W: Then why don't you? The school has a lot of programs that don't require the mastery of a foreign language. You just have to be the kind of person who is and can get used to a new environment fast. What would the listener say?
