My favourite Japanese item.

Since I lived in Japan for 5 years I developed a taste for Japanese food. Especially for a very tasty local dish called Ume Onigiri. It is a sour plum (Ume) put in rice and then wrapped in Nori (seaweed). It is generally eated dry without any gravy or sauce to go with it. In a way it is simillar to sushi except larger and in a triangular shape. This dish is not usually served in restraunts as it is not considered a delicacy if you want to buy it you would probably have to go to a japanese or asian market.

Why I chose to study Japanese

hey! my name is Mirai Doshi. I am from India.
I chose to study japanese because I lived there for 5 years as a child but never learnt how to speak the language. My father also speaks Japanese fluently and I find the language fascinating and interesting whenever I hear him speak it.
I am really enjoying the class so far. However there are somethings I am having difficulty with. I have trouble memorizing the hiragana characters. I find them very complicated and simillar to each other. I often confuse them especially so, wa and ne. Other than that I am looking forward to learning how to say a couple of more things like verbs and particle so I can say some more complex sentences.
