Since I just started to learn Japanese, I cannot speak <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">it<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> very well. However, I deeply believe<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> that, if I didn&#8217;t practice often, my language ability wouldn&#8217;t improve. So at the beginning, when I first met our Japanese group members, I tried to introduce myself in Japanese. Even though I spoke intermittently, I knew that after more and more practicing, one day I would be able to speak as fluently as they did. In order to consider <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">people<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> with limited Japanese, like me, <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">my group spoke mostly in English during <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">the chat session<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Despite the fact that I really want to practice Japanese with them more, it is easier for me to express myself completely in English. What\u2019s more, English is spoken often on campus, so it was beneficial to me to practice more as well.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Whenever<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> I attend an ICC event, I can feel the quality getting better each time.
