ようこそ！私 の なまえ は ユー みちこ です。これ は わたし の ブログ です。 I am half Japanese and half Chinese, and am finally returning to my roots by learning my mother's language! I am so excited to be in Japanese 101. I love Japanese traditions (go Hina Matsuri!), food (kare-raisu!), and of course, the beautiful and humble language! I have been to Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Hakone, Niko, Hiroshima, Miyajima...a few more places), but unfortunately had to rely on my mother to do all the translating. I would love to visit again and use my new found knowledge to explore! I would also love to be able to talk to my grandmother without forcing her to use her little knowledge of English. I am very anxious to go on this journey with all of you! I know it will be tough at times to memorize all the Katakana or remember all the correct uses of the particles, but it will all be worth it in the end! いきましょ！
