Hobbies
When I am teaching, I am impassioned. Teaching Japanese is my job and is also one of my hobbies. Talking with my students is always fun and inspirational. When I have time, I like to read books while listening to music. I like to travel. I go back to Japan every year to visit different places and enjoy the culture, foods and scenery. Karaoke is fun and also a good way to learn the Japanese language.
