私のはははおいしいしゃぶしゃぶをりょうりします。(My mother cooks delicious shabu shabu. It is a hot pot of soup filled with all kinds of vegetables and meat) でも、にくを食べません。だから、私はseparate potをたべます。
私はヂムスムがだいすきです。たいてい日曜日にははとちちとおとうとうといっしょにちゅごくレストランにいきました。(Dim Sum is a Chinese traditional lunch in which the person chooses the food from moving carts throughout the restaurant)
I'm actually half Japanese and half Chinese and I want to learn more about my cultural roots. At some point during Smith, I hope to pick up Chinese as well. However, my parents and my adviser basically told me that I would crash and burn if I took both at the same time in my first year. Therefore, I'm starting with Japanese first because I had some background knowledge.
