[UP1 Reflection #1]

 What I learned

 In class, I listened to a talk by Ms. Tomomi Duquette. I learned many things from her. I learned that it is important to share Japanese culture with the world and to be proud of it. I was very impressed by her work to tell people in other countries about sake and her strong love for Japanese traditions. I thought that traditional Japanese culture could connect people. It made me want to learn more about Japanese culture and how to share it with others in Japan and other countries.

The most memorable thing

The most impressive thing about Tomomi Duquet's story is the story about IKIGAI.  She said that there are four elements that are necessary to create IKIGAI. They are something you're good, something you like, money, and demand. It's not enough to just do what you like, and I thought balance was important. I also thought that connections with others were important to create IKIGAI.

question

Ms. Tomomi Duquette was fluent in English. I also saw that she could speak several languages. Therefore, I would like to know how she became able to speak various languages. Also, please let me know if you have any methods for studying English.
