1. Would you tell us which country you are from and tell us a bit about your country?

2. You have just started 8 weeks short term program and I believe it is your first experience for calligraphy. How did you like it?

3. Would you show us your work?
—Yes.



4. Did you learn the meaning of the words you chose?
—Yes, I learned kanji for good luck “幸せ”.

5. How did this experience make you feel more interesting to learn Japanese language?
—I think it is important to not just learn the vocabulary and grammar but also learn about the culture. It also makes me understand why writing and stroke order is important.

6. Dod you want to try it again?
—Yes, many times.

Thank you very much for the interview, Matt-san.
