みなさんこんにちは（mi na san kon ni chi wa）
Hi everyone, I am Tian Ren from Shanghai, China. I normally go by Tia. I live in Pasquerilla East Hall. I haven't decided about my major yet, maybe one in business program and something else.
I decided to learn Japanese basically because of two reasons. One is the Tokyo program for study abroad, the other is my aunt's family in Fukuoka, a city in Japan. My aunt and uncle have been in Japan for over ten years and have two daughters. Their younger daughter is currently in an elementary school there. The elder daughter who is one year older than me studies in a Chinese university. Therefore, you might think I must really familiar with Japanese and Japanese culture. BUT!! The truth is: I've never been to Japan and actually know little about Japan!! Seriously!! When my cousin want to hide her little secrets from me, she speaks Japanese!! This freaks me out!! That's why I must learn Japanese here!
I have watched a lot of Japanese drama and cartoons since my junior high school (with Chinese subtitles of course!!) As a Chinese student speaking Mandarin, I am familiar with the Kanji in Japanese, but Kanji characters have different pronouciation and somtimes its meaning has changed a lot as time goes by.
So there is a long way to go for everyone la~
