It's the 6th time now, and I'm sure
you're really thinking about how I'm feeling right now.It's really telling, so let's
go.Japanese
Cheer is
pretty good.

So, I'm today's special guest,
and I'm from. I'm from Poland. Thank you very much.
Most Japanese people don't do that.
Today, I'd like to talk about various things between
Poland and Japan in Japanese, so
please say yes.
First of all, just a normal question. Why are you interested in Japan in the first place?
Well, at first it was quite a coincidence,
but the place where I was born
turned out to be dark and there was a Japanese language school there, and just
when I was thinking that maybe I should have a hobby, I
heard some Japanese and saw
something on TV. When I
heard the pronunciation, I thought it was so beautiful,
but somehow I didn't feel that way, and
when I talked about the Japanese language school a little bit, it was
amazing.It's that bright place that always
really gives me energy. The
atmosphere was great, and the teachers were really nice people. I'm
studying Japanese there. I
feel like a lot of people overseas think Japanese is cute. I don't know
what it is about Japanese that makes me think it's beautiful. I
don't know, but since I don't understand Korean, I
think it's
cute, but I'm retired and don't say that I'm really pretty.That's why I thought
everyone spoke Japanese already.When I
first started, I
thought it
was a really nice language. That's what I thought.At first, I started really looking
forward to school, and my
Japanese skills improved, so
what happened
from there?I went to Japan for the first time.After
studying a lot, I came here.At first, I
came to Japan for the first time. When I was 16 years old, I
was a high school student.It's
like an exchange program, or something
like a speech contest, and they
do it every year in Poland, and if you
win in Poland, you go to Japan.It's
like a world competition. That was my
first time
studying abroad, and my second time was studying abroad at that high school, but it
was in Sendai, so I heard that I hadn't
been to places in Tohoku that I probably wouldn't normally go to.That's
why I was so glad I went, so I went again and
again. I've
wanted to go there, but now it's my 6th time. It's
been a while since the 12th time, but what is 345? It's a
trip, a solo trip, and a
working holiday. There are
visas like that. You
only live once a year, but during that
year you can travel while working part-time.I
also used it. If you were to
talk about culture,
what would you choose as your favorite culture?
I think that respect for people is very strong in Japan.There is
also a sense of consideration and that kind of thing.I feel that it is
noticeable in terms of reading the atmosphere.In various
situations, people are really friends. But in
Poland, if you're a really good friend, you'd think it's
okay to say whatever you want, but that's
fine, but in Japan,
even if you don't know someone or are really good
friends, you have to ask them how they're feeling right now. You're thinking
about it.It really conveys your feelings, so
I think that's amazing.I've always felt that
Japanese people
don't have it in Japan, but they do have it in Poland.It's my
favorite culture.Oh,
for example, in Japan, it's
quite a bit like when you make a promise. You have to decide first, you
have to come up with a name.Of course,
there are some people, but I'm serious about
Poland, and
I can't see the moment anymore, so I'm almost
like I'm going somewhere right now, so that's it.
I feel like I miss Japan a little bit.It's amazing to be
in Japan,
but if you say things like, ``Let's go somewhere now,''
I, who didn't like it,
can think about preparing plans from the beginning and working and studying by then.
Well, it really
depends on the person, and of course there are some who are busy, and
I don't think I'll ever meet them, but there are a lot of
people who are very polite to others like Japanese people.
One of the things I wish I could meet in Japan is that they're more
friendly than polite.
Even the store clerks laugh a lot and try to
strike up a conversation with me. They
never say things like the weather is nice today. It's interesting to have a
customer come, and
that's the kind of feeling you get when you
go to a restaurant or something.They're not friends, but they're a little closer to each other.What do you think about that?Which one was better?It's kind of friendly, but when you go to a restaurant or something, you're behind the scenes. I could see him using his
cell phone, so I
thought that was a good thing.
When he came out, he
stood up and
looked like he was interfering with the audience.
On the other hand, I
saw a beautiful Japanese culture and a culture that I didn't like.
