This book taught me about commitment and perseverance in studying a language and culture and how to give my best to that language and improve daily sk that I can master the nuances and intricacies of the language and culture that make it light up like a starry night.

Mastering Japanese

In the land of the rising sun, I've set my sight,
To master Japanese, with all my might,
With kanji strokes, I start my quest,
To unlock a language, deemed the best.

Hiragana and katakana, I embrace,
The building blocks, to reach a new space,
The sounds of words, so beautifully distinct,
I immerse myself, in every single blink.

Grammar rules, like a puzzle to solve,
Each particle, a story to evolve,
Politeness and honor, deeply ingrained,
In conversations, respect is gained.

Through manga and anime, I dive in deep,
Culture and history, they gently seep,
From haikus to tankas, I try my hand,
Capturing moments, in art I expand.

Konnichiwa and sayonara, I proudly say,
With every step, I'm learning, come what may,
Mastering Japanese, a lifelong endeavor,
A language of beauty, I'll cherish forever.
