About me - Yukino Izumikawa

 

My name is Yukino.
I’m Japanese. I was born and raised in Shimane, the west side of Japan, but I live in Niigata now. I’m 19 years old. I’m a freshman in college and I majored in literature. I haven’t decided my specialty, yet I want to study about French literature since French is my second foreign language. Though I only speak Japanese and a little English now, but I hope I become a multilingual speaker in the future, such as French, Korean and Chinese, etc.

 

I have two brothers, older and younger. Even though we’ve grown up, sometimes we fight. And I have a lovely dog. His name is Maru, naughty 4-year-old boy. He is always looking for food and lives for food and sleep, but he is adorable and the cutest dog in the world, I think.

 

My hobby is traveling. I like to go on a journey alone or with friends. I already went to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Fukushima. So next time, I want to travel overseas, especially European countries.

    Maru is so cute name! When do you think that he is naughty, for example?

      Thanks! I think he becomes naughty when he is trying to eat something on the sly.

    I studied a little French at junior high school and got to try it out when I travelled in Europe in my late teens. I am sure you'd love travelling in France. There are so many treasures of culture to be explored there. The Gothic & Romanesque cathedrals there are awe-inspiring.
    What is your favourite place to visit in Japan so far?

      Thank you! Actually, I am going to visit and stay in France this year to study! I can explore many places as you said.
      Kyoto is one of my favorite place in Japan, but I also like to enjoy nature! It makes me feel relaxed.

About me - Isis

     Kia ora, my name is Isis (it is pronounced 'e-zies’). I’m from a touristic coastal town in the northeast of Brazil, where people usually go on vacation during summertime. It is commonplace that people go for a stroll along the waterfront of its most popular beach, full of coconut trees and ‘tapioca’ tents. I’m very lucky to live nearby in a small and cozy apartment with my parents and our five adopted cats. However, despite the inviting landscape around, I also enjoy having a ‘home time’ with my pets.      I graduated in Psychology some years ago, but as I’m much into foreign languages, I decided to be an English teacher and translator. I'm still in the process of qualifying for it, and coming to New Zealand was one of the strategies I adopted to improve my fluency.      Regarding my hobbies, I take pleasure from reading novels, watching TV series and films, and hanging out with my friends. So far I haven’t been a frequent cook, but learning how to prepare more sophisticat

 My name is Ryuya Fujimoto. I'm 19 years old. I am from Japan. I was born in Yamagata Prefecture, north of Tokyo. Yamagata is countryside, and it is a peaceful and great place to live. It has many mountains and delicious food and fruits.  I like to play and watch basketball. I have been playing basketball for 10 years. I often watch NBA because it is very exciting.  My favorite player is Kobe Bryant because he is a hard worker and there are many things to learn from his mentality which is called Mamba Mentality. I also like Sandro Mamukelashvili. He is a 24-year-old Georgian player. He is not a well- known player, but he is talented and has a lot of good skills. I often listen to music on spotify. Last year I listened to music for approximately 57,500 minutes in total. I like many types of music, for example, rap, rock, instrumental, and Celtic music. My favorite musicians are NF, Coldplay, The Script, Two Steps From Hell, Smash into pieces, Nightwish, Enya, and so on. I think
