Turning Japanese


Living a bum's life can cook up ginormous amounts on your imagination on what to do next. I've been itching on where to go, what to do, who to meet, where to chill. It drives me nuts! Idle is really not me despite the fact I love lazing around. So I went back to my drawing board on why I came home in the first place and started getting my act together. I prepared all my requirements for the TESDA. I want to take up Japanese lessons so I have to get everything done ASAP or else I'm not gonna have a slot. TESDA admits only 25 students for the language program. And to get a head start I've been busy listening to my Ipod with the English - Japanese translations. I discovered that you can buy foreign language CDs in National Bookstore. Just check the nearest National Bookstore outlet near you. The CDs come with an insert. But you may also buy other materials there too from  Japanese dictionaries and translation books that cost P165 and above. There are instructional materials too for French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and German. 

And hey, when you learn something new you delay the degeneration of your brain cells. Let's show our brain cells some love and learn a new language! Sayoonara

In this competitive world if you want to be noticed, speaking a foreign language is a PLUS. You need a foreign language in applying for a foreign service exam. You can tap different institutions and individuals for proper training. The cost would depend on the language that you want to learn and the number of hours it'll take. But now you can learn alanguage for free through TESDA. You may call up TESDA near you. They're offering free language classes. Remember, enrollment is free. :)
