About studying
When I was in Japan, I hate to study anything.. especially, I hate English. Because when I was a high school student, I had to remember a lot of grammars, words and idioms to only pass a examination of univesity. That kind of study is very boring, do you know? All I have to do was to remember! I needed no theory and no technique, I needed just big memory to pack English into. So I got to hate English gradually.
But now, I'm studying English so hard with pleasure. Why? I don't know clearly.. but I realized the power of English and benefits of studying English. I think, these reasons had me coming to Canada to study. Puls, I came here by myself and my money, so I have to study hard for myself!
Anyway, It is very interesting and benefitical to study in a foreign country. Because I can soak in foreign culture and language. I never want to waste my experiences in Canada.
By the way, today I met a Japanese girl who moved into Montreal from Vancouver recently. She can hardly speak English although she has lived in Canada for 9 months. I was very surprised and asked her about a reason. She said "There are lots of Japanese in Vancouver and my friends are all Japanese. so I can live in there without English". I think it depends on someone's personality but it's a big matter of Working Holiday Makers who come form Japan... It's OK if their purpose is only having fun, but I think it has no meaning because we can have lots of fun in Japan too. If you don't want to waste your time and money, you shall consider your plan before you come here...

that's good advice
Thank you kaki san. Yes, I'm enjoying my life! But recently, I have started realizing the depth of English..;-( It's very difficult to master foreign languages, but studying foreign languages is very interesting. :-))
It's funny "masa-cahn ass hole". You're not an ass hole, you're a great one!!:-) If you wanna come to Montreal, please tell me your favorites before, I'll guide you. But I recommend you coming here in Spring or Summer, because sometimes Montreal has -40℃ in Winter. It sounds terrible...;-((
