母親が日本人、父親がアメリカ人のロサンゼルス生まれ育ちのハーフです。幼い時期から両文化で育ってきた僕は、日米双方の教育を受けてきました。カリフォルニア州にあるUC Santa Barbara大学を卒業し、交換留学で一年間、一橋大学で大学生活を送りました。その後、石川県内灘町役場で国際交流員として赴任し、2年間の勤務を経て、ロサンゼルスへ帰国、2011年に英会話学校「BYB English Center」をアーバインで開校しました。
I've been self-studying Japanese for 7 years and passed the JLPT N2 three years ago. I've been living in Japan for a year now, (but my speaking is not good as my reading) it's very difficult to make friends in Japan as a foreigner. I'm a Japanese descendant born in Brazil. The example you gave of talking to store clerks in the West is very easy to do, but here in Japan, it's impossible. I love your videos; I discovered them recently and I'm training my japanese listening with it.
