◆Summary あらすじ

This reading explores the close relationship between language and culture. While language and culture are deeply connected, it is no longer realistic to think of “one Japanese culture” or “one type of Japanese person” in today’s world. When learning a language, you do not need to understand an entire national culture. What really matters is the culture and daily habits of the people you want to connect with—for example, your friends. Wanting to communicate with specific people is often the strongest motivation for learning a new language, and that personal connection makes language learning more meaningful and enjoyable.
