Self Introduction

 

My name is Manami Nagare.

I am in German department in Language faculty. Sophomore. The reasons why I chose German studies are; first, I wanted to be trilingual. Second, when I was in Canada as an exchange student, I become best friends with a Germany girl who taught me a little German. Thus I would like to have a conversation with her in German.

Though I live in Ichigaya now, I am from Togo, Aichi. People always ask me “oh, are you from Nagoya?” I am afraid I am not from NAGOYA though there is next to our town. My high school was St. Capitanio girls high school. Quite a few people say that the name of my school is interesting I guess because not many of them heard of these saint's names. I think girls school is awesome because I do not have to care about around. Only thing we did was enjoy everyday life without considering about our future. This is the most different point from now. I sometimes wish I could go back to those days.

I belong to Sophia EAGLEs FC, and Volleyball AIKOKAI. My university life is mostly occupied by those circles. As you can reckon I love playing volleyball, and watching sports. I used to prefer to watch baseball games especially for Chunichi Dragons, but recently I watch soccer games more frequently owing to where I belong to. However I do not have favorite soccer club yet, I am highly interested in Bundesliga, German soccer league. My favorite soccer players are Atsuto Uchida playing in Schalke, Makoto Hasebe in Wolfburg,, Tomoaki Makino in Köln.

My hobbies other than playing and watching sports are; Listening to music, reading, watching movie, and finding good Cafes. Quite usual.

Mostly I listen to foreign songs. I also like to listen Japanese music, but I value above lyrics. I like to listen Jack's Mannequin, Maroon5, LMFAO, David Guetta, Young Money, and RADWIMPS. The lyrics of RAD are great. I respect Yojiro Noda. Their song on my recommendation is “Aoi Haru”. Check it out!

I like to read mystery, especially Keigo Higashino. For me, his recent masterpiece is “Hakugin Jack”. I like to read happy-ended stories.

For now on I want to watch “Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides”. Recent firm I liked was “Social Network”.

I love finding good cafes. Kichijoji is the best place to find cute and famous Cafes. Most recently I visited HATTIFNATT. The wall is all over painted colorfully. I was pleased!

I work at Tokyo Station selling EKIBEN. (lol) It is sometimes boring, however the advantage of working there is easiness.

And I started working as Cafe servant in Kojimachi. It is new-opened cafe, and we have to use coffee siphon. Although I spend super busy days because of double-work, I am enjoy working.

I will study abroad in Germany for half a year from next year. I did not apply but I might be going to Bonn University. Studying German is hard task but I seriously would like to be German-speaker.

I do not know what else to write.

Anyway, nice to see you in Advanced English class.
