よ!


はじめまして。ケビン゜リチャードソンと申します。ミシガン州率大学で三年生とイストアジアの言語と習慣が勉強している学生います。僕の一番な趣味がブレークダンスを するだけでなくても、外国語と友達と遊ぶのことです。また、映画も好きです。僕は日本語と韓国語勉強していて、レベル三を取っています。一年前に韓国語始め勉強しましたが、韓国で始め勉強しますから、速く習いました。まだ、日本に行ったことがありませんが、僕は日本に留学するのことがとても欲しいです。













ひまの時に何回もブレークダンスします。一年前に、僕と友達がMSUブレークダンスクラブを作りました。たいてい、一週間うちに三回練習をします。毎回のように練習で皆さんがよくになるような気がします。一番難しいスポーツはブレークダンスと思われています。それで、ブレークダンスしようとされば、一番楽しくて、健康がいいスポーツです。どうぞよろしくお願いします。





So i guess this is where i reveal myself to the world (in Janglish)

So, I'm sitting here in lecture debating whether or not i should embarrass myself by typing my so called "biography" in Japanese, English (where i would also embarrass myself) or Janglish (Japanese-English for those who didn't know). I have decided to go with the latter: Janglish. Okay so here we go.

皆さん、始めまして!僕がアロンアームストロングと申します。どおぞよろしく。

And now for the hard part:saying more than one phrase in Japanese.

僕はミシガン州立大学の二年生で、専門は教育です。十九歳でデトロイトというミシガンの町に生まれました。しゅみはアニメを見たり、音楽を作ったり、寝たり、食べたり、飲んだり、友達と話したりします。家族は五人がいり、母、父、おばあさん、おじいさん、おじさんです。僕はたいていやさしくてうれしい性格があるけど、時々ちょっとへんです。(the good weird not the bad weird)

Clearly I have switched to English, so i might as well continue in it. Basically my life is not all that interesting. I have a couple of friends here and there, I'm usually a nice person (I haven't killed anybody or anything), I'm laid back; the sort of person who walks the other way or relocates themselves when some starts arguing loudly or fighting profusely around them. (seeing as that has anything to do with my biography) Um lets see, I guess you can call me friendly ( I guess having a myspace and a facebook qualifies me as one). Speaking of which here is my myspace and facebook in case you feel the need to learn more about me......which you probably won't.
Facebook: www.new.facebook.com/
profile.php?id=1267260258&ref=profile&pub=2309869772
Myspace: myspace.com/kuroikaminari

Lets see what else? Well as I said before one of my hobbies is making music, so that's basically what I do with most of my free time. If you want to listen to any of my songs just go to my myspace page. In terms of travel, nothing stands out too much except going to Japan. (I've traveled to Ohio, Florida, Canada, North Carolina and well..Japan). Now that we've gotten my travel experience out the way. The one thing I'm certain that I know is certain about myself is that I like to try new things. For instance: riding a mechanical bull. Take a second to gander at the picture above and contemplate on how embarrassing and painful it is to fall off anything mechanical.(......) Okay now that you've done that let me tell you....my thighs hurt for weeks.

In conclusion....well there is really no conclusion because this is merely a rant of compiled things thought up at the last second. So I will leave you with a return to Japanese: さようなら、バイバイ、じゃあ また あとでand all that good stuff.

(。・ω・)ノ゙ 始めまして♪

Introduction


Hi. My name is Reva Mercado and I'm a junior at Michigan State Unversity. I'm also a double major. I'm majoring in Political Science/Prelaw and I'm also majoring in East Asian Languages and Cultures. Lets see, hmm, I guess I should include some background information about myself. I come from a multicultural family. My dad was born in Puerto Rico and my mom is African American. I was born in Frankfurt, Germany on a US military base. I lived there for two years (the oldest of my younger brothers was born the year after I was on the same military base) but I don't remember any of it. I've also apparently been to other countries like France, but again I don't remember this because I was a baby. After moving back to the US, my dad left the military for a little while and we moved to Georgia where I lived for another two years. I remember having a friend there that won beauty pagents and drove a Barbie power wheel, but that is all. We moved again to Lansing, Michigan and that is where I still live. My father also resumed military service.  I have a two younger brothers. One of them is named David and the other is named Matthew.  Yeah, that's some basic background information on me. Hmm, my hobbies include hanging out with my friends, going to movies, shopping at the mall, watching tv, reading, writing, and drawing. 

This is one of my drawings. I actually drew this a long time ago, but Its still one of my best ones. I guess you could say I was on a roll that day :) If you are wondering why she is holding a knife its because he grabbed her, spun around, and kissed her when she was cutting cucumbers. Hmm, I also like listening to music and really love my school, even if I don't like going to class. ;) I've also been getting into taking pictures and making videos on youtube lately. I'm don't have a good camera though so the sound quality is off. If you want to view one of my videos here is a link to a video I recorded at my dorm room of the Spartan Dischords surprsing us all with a free, one song concert. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZin0hk5TUU Also feel free to comment on my other video as well, though I got to warn you before hand even though the lyrics are funny, the singing is not. I can't sing (and I'm not saying that to be modest, I CANT sing) but I like writing song parodies if I can think of a good one. And the video was defintiely fun to make. :)  
Lets see, what else to write? Oh yeah, personality. I'm a really fun-loving, religious, out going person once you get to know me, but I'm also kind of shy and quiet around people I don't know. I also the kind of person who is really willing to go that extra mile for friends or family. (I'm really close to my family) Most of the people I hang out with made the effort to talk to me, or we met in group or class or something because I'm pretty shy at first and usually won't go up to someone I don't know. I'm trying to change that about myself though. Sometimes I get nervous publicily speaking and other times I'm the best public speaker you could hope for because I make eye contact, have a stage voice (or so I've been told), and am energetic. It usually depends on the topic and the language. (For some reason I'm always really nervous in my Japanese class and I'll just stare at my notecards and everyone thinks I'm reading off of them and one time I was, but usually I'm not its just if I look out at the crowd I'll get nervous and lose my voice. ) That being said, I am not a pushover and encourage everyone to speak up for themselves if they are being wronged. Of course you have to pick your battles. Well I don't know what else to write so I guess I'll leave it at this. Feel free to comment on this post! TTYL
