It’s been about a week since school started. Every day is full of new things and I’m always confused, but I’ve made friends in NZ and I’m getting used to it little by little. At first, I had the impression that “foreigners = scary,” so I had a hard time talking to people, but as I went shopping at stores and talked with people at school, that idea gradually faded, and when I was able to strike up a conversation, I felt a great sense of accomplishment, and I felt fun and happy.
(学校が始まって１週間ほど経ちました。毎日が新しいことにあふれていて戸惑うことばかりですが、NZでの友だちもできて少しずつ慣れてきました。最初は外国人＝怖いみたいな印象が自分の中にありなかなか人に話しかけることもできなかったけれどお店でお買い物をしたり学校の人と話したりしていくうちにだんだんその考えは薄れていき会話が成立したときなどはとても達成感を感じれて楽しい、嬉しいと感じます。)
