AISubs v3.7
It's been a long time, everyone! I'm Saki Nakajima who came back from Japan and thinks I'm having a hay fever!
This will be the last video! Thank you everyone for joining me on this program that started in September 2022!
When I first started, Morito and Saki were also studying abroad, so Chii-chan and I started together.
Chii-chan has safely finished studying abroad and is now back in Japan to do entertainment activities.
Since I have also safely finished studying abroad, this channel will be the last video I will deliver! Thank you for joining me!
That said, there may be members of the Hello! Project who want to study abroad in the future.
Maybe there will be people who want to send a video and tell you something, so it seems that this channel will be kept.
It's strange that I'm not going to study abroad anymore.
As for my study abroad experience, I went to a Hawaiian language school for six months and then went to a New Zealand language school for a year.
After that, I got a working holiday visa and worked as a tour guide for Japanese for six months.
After that, instead of going to the house of those who have registered for the woofing host and helping out, I decided to travel to New Zealand while going around the woofing service that offers accommodation and meals for free.
There are various things.
The last book is...
I quit UFO completely and I was a traveler for the last book.
And I went around New Zealand and came here.
Of course, there are still a lot of words I don't know, and sometimes my English is terrible, or it may be almost terrible.
But by communicating in English like this, it's a lot easier for me to travel by myself, and it's fun to meet people you meet on your journey.
I'm glad I went to England because I thought I wanted to expand my world more and more before I went abroad.
Because I spoke English from scratch, I thought there were a lot of things I had to learn at first, but as I got used to English, I started to understand sentences better and it became like a puzzle.
At first, there were a lot of things I really remembered, so I didn't know the grammar or the mechanism, so I had to remember words and grammar.
"Why does this change like this?" or "This is what it is, so remember it." There were too many of them at first, and I didn't know that it would change a little if it became a present tense and a past tense.
So I started with the feeling of "I'm going to memorize it!"
When I was in Hawaii, I spent a lot of time with my friends helping me out.
It was about half a year for me in Hawaii, which is a little closer to English.
Until then, New Zealand was closed due to corona, but at the same time that it will be open, the language school opened and I went to New Zealand right away.
I studied hard to get into English from there, but since I was in Hawaii for half a year, I knew a little bit of it.
Even if you say you know a little, you know only a little!
For example, "she likes" has been missing for a long time, and every time I talk to the teacher, the teacher says "sss"
When "ing" comes up, "don't" come up, "have you" comes up, it's already in the past.
I don't know for the time being, but when I jumped into the English world, at first I wasn't confident and couldn't speak, but I'm getting used to myself that I can't do anymore.
When you get used to yourself that you can't do anymore, you can speak a little optimistic like "it's stupid" and that's my growth point.
After all, when I think I'm embarrassed or not confident, I really can't speak.
More than that, I'm glad I went to a language school in New Zealand, but there are a lot of people who want to learn English from various countries and come to Rotorua.
I can speak!
And there are many more values, and when it comes to tests, I have to get good points, and sometimes I get depressed because I can't do it at all with points, but I don't know if it's her personality.
I'm paying attention to the fact that you can do this that you couldn't do before, even if you make a mistake at all.
Looking at that, I think that's right. The fact that you can do what you can't itself is growth, and of course there are mistakes, and I hope you can do one by one, and I hope you can convey it when you're talking.
I learned from a friend that it is important to output for the time being, and when I was with her, it was very comfortable and I had fun speaking English, so I think that love was really big.
From there, an advanced class came in and she got along with me, and she had a great understanding ability, and she and I had lunch together, and that encounter really pulled me.
And no matter what you say, it changes in the host family. I really think that I was blessed with the host family.
I found a hobby to enjoy with me, or I was introduced to host family by mountain girls and running, and I got addicted to it, but the more we enjoy together, the more we talk, and at first, when I remember the words, they cooperate with me.
It was a really nice encounter.
Thank you for the encounter!
Seriously!
When I went abroad, I thought that the biggest thing is to know yourself by jumping into places that no one knows about you.
I was able to understand what I like and dislike, and what kind of time I need.
I think it was two and a half years.
It was very easy when I was over there.
I've been back to Japan from time to time, but when I first came back to Japan, I was a little worried about what I was worried about in the past.
There was something like that, but as I spent more and more time over there, I didn't care about the little things anymore.
I don't know if it's good or bad, but I thought it was good for me, and I thought it would be nice if I could decide for myself what I like and dislike and create a world where I can live comfortably.
Did you end up being able to say it like this? You've become more resilient, haven't you?
But I really think there are a lot of places to stay.
I really thought that when I created a new world, my survival ability would be tested.
And when I'm acting alone, of course it's fun, but I still like meeting people, meeting new people, and new stimuli.
It was such a song.
I really thought that "ghost family" had spread my world and I was about to cry.
So I really like it.
So, if you are going to study abroad in the future, it may be up to "ghost family", but if you are having fun and working hard to live, I hope you will help me.
I think there are people who give me advice and face me, not "host family", but someone else, so at first I couldn't speak English either, and the host family and the first leader were asked questions and answered in one word and the conversation did not continue, but I don't know what I want to talk about anymore.
I'm really happy to be able to study abroad.
I think it was right for me.
There are a lot of nature in a country called New Zealand, there are few people, and the people you meet are calm.
It may be a story of people I've met, but they are all outdoors and have survival abilities.
There were only people who thought it was wonderful.
There were a lot of Japanese people who got along with me, and the first host family really welcomed me like a family until the end.
We went on a trip to Waiheke Island together at the end of the trip, and the growth of the children was cute.
The couple I met at the introduction of those people also lived in New Zealand for many years, but there was no timing and I couldn't climb a mountain even once.
We also shared that we like climbing mountains, so we decided to go to Tongari no Crossing together before going back to Japan.
It looked painful, but when I saw their happy faces, they said that they were really happy to be able to climb a mountain for decades.
I thought I was really grateful for the encounter.
Even for friends my age who are about the same age as me.
She pushed me back a lot.
She gives me a lot of ideas and leads me to my fun.
So when I meet her and I'm not confident in English, I'm like, "No, it's okay."
"I'm like that now." She gave me very comforting words.
I was grateful for that encounter.
She's a little older than me, but we have similar values of luxury and fun.
If you get what you like, this is how you spend it. I want to be like that, too.
I think I've met a lot of people who have a nice way of life.
I might study abroad for English, but I was happy to study abroad to expand my world.
Even if you study abroad for English, I don't think you'll be able to speak English unless you create that environment.
You can live alone.
Even when I go shopping, I don't use English that much.
If you don't talk to people, you'll be scrolling all the time.
You're wasting your time speaking English.
I feel that people who learn English and keep up their second language are really trying hard.
It doesn't matter how old you are.
Even if you were born in an environment where you could only speak English and Japanese, if you couldn't speak either of them, you'd only remember one of them.
That's how it is.
My friend teaches children all three languages at once, but my mom has to face it, and my kids are doing their best, so of course, it's better to learn how to absorb and remember quickly when you're little, and it's better to listen when you're little, but if you don't make an effort or build a good relationship, you won't be able to study.
I really respect people who have second languages.
But when you can really speak English a little bit, you'll have fun meeting people and you'll be able to talk and communicate. When you feel like you can do it, you'll be very happy and you'll want to talk more.
You have to stick with the language every day.
I also think that I have to try not to forget the English I just learned.
When you think you won't be able to talk to your family, you have to try to speak and keep up.
How can I close this?
I haven't put it on yet. Can I close it at the end of Keblar Truck?
New Zealand is really wonderful. I really want you to enjoy the first day of New Zealand.
From the bottom of my heart.
So, Keblar Truck. I was able to book a walking course by staying in Yamagoya for three nights and four days.
It wasn't a popular course, it was the other way around, so it was a little sudden, but it was really the best.
After climbing this mountain, I feel that the earth is even more beautiful, and I am really happy just to be in a place with a lot of nature. I don't need anything more.
So, after climbing the mountain, I'm so happy just to take a family picture and LINE. I don't know why I'm so satisfied right now, but I don't think there's anything natural in the city, including my family.
Even human relationships, I don't like it anymore and I can throw it out anytime, including my family. Even now, it's really wonderful to get together and say "I'm home".
Let's talk about the Keblar truck properly.
Keblar truck, first day.
I said it the other way around, so it may not be very helpful, but it seems that there is a bus from the place where you park your car to the front of the first mountain hut, and you can shortcut about 5km by that bus.
But I started walking because I thought I should walk, but it's not that long and it's a straight road, so I thought it would be nice to go by bus to save my physical strength and walked for the first day.
When I arrived in Minamijime, it was like a dinosaur era. Minamijime is amazing!
The place with the Keblar truck is called Teanau, but it was really beautiful.
And the next day, there were various colorful mushrooms on this Keblar truck, and I was very excited just by looking for them.
Surprisingly, there weren't any places with good views or good views on the first or second day, but when I looked for treasures like mushrooms, I thought they were cute and it was interesting to stand there.
That's why I think there are many people who are addicted to the world of fungi.
And there is a river flowing near the second wave, and the transparency of the river there is very beautiful.
The river where you can only live with beautiful water was said that you could see it if you were lucky.
But when I was explained about it in the mountain hut, some people who were watching said, "Eh! Did you see it? I definitely want to see it!" I thought I'd stick it in and after the explanation was over, I went to the river and it flowed beautifully and it was really cute.
It was so cute that you could get off the Keblar truck while lying down or pushing it.
I forgot what it was called. Was it "waiho"? I don't remember the name.
On the second day, I was very satisfied with "waiho".
At night in the mountain hut, you can see kiwis and bags.
The night in the mountain hut is insanely dark.
I was still scared and didn't go exploring at night.
But when I woke up in the morning and asked the person who was staying with me, "Did you see the kiwi?"
She said, "I could hear it, but I didn't see it."
I thought it was difficult to see kiwi.
And on the third day, I got a better look at it and it was so beautiful!
It was really beautiful!
I want you to watch this video at once!
Do you know this feeling?
It's like "is it another earth?"
What should I do?
The higher you go, the colder the wind chill is, and you feel like you're on earth, and you get scared, but you feel like you're on earth too.
It was really nice to walk.
And what I thought was amazing was that this Kepler truck is a loop circuit.
That's why some people can't stop at Yamagoya and run all day.
It's a trail run.
60km? 70km? Which one was it?
It's like running all day, and some couples are running, and it's like, "Wow!"
But I'm sure it feels good.
I was walking with this big backpack and it felt great just to walk, and this backpack becomes a hydration vest, right?
And if you run around this nice view, it looks like you're in a really good mood.
I can imagine it.
I've done a trail run with a hydration bag and vest in Nelson once.
At that time, when I was surrounded by mountains, I had little luggage and gear, so I had very little walking equipment for when it was too cold, so I was afraid of what to do if I got lost.
But the space where it's just me and the mountains is really comfortable.
From my point of view, I think the Kepler truck trail run would be really comfortable.
I don't think I can do it, but even if it's just one day...
Even if you don't loop it and just come back a little bit, you'll definitely feel good.
That's what it feels like.
And the last eight days were also insanely good.
It was so natural.
And the last four days were just climbing down.
I walked down while looking at the mushrooms and plants growing there.
No, I'm really grateful to the host family.
Thank you for teaching me how to climb a mountain for real.
And I say it myself, but I think it's pretty serious to be climbing a mountain for three nights and four days.
All of a sudden, you know, you've become friends with someone of a higher level.
All you can do is follow them.
I remember.
The first hiking with the host family was one day.
When I was in Hawaii, I was climbing a mountain, but the mountains in Hawaii are pretty short.
It may be hard to climb right away, but it only took me about three hours to climb a mountain.
I didn't think I'd be addicted to climbing at that time, and I didn't measure the time, so I don't know.
There are a lot of mountains that you can easily climb in Hawaii.
I was used to it, so even at that time, I thought it was more distance than Japanese hiking.
But the host family's hiking was about seven hours a day.
It was about four hours before I went.
Anyway, it's been a long time. Where is the final destination?
At that time, I couldn't speak that much English, but I said, "OK, OK."
I've been following you all the time, and you told me to bring a swimsuit, so I brought it.
There's a waterfall at the destination, and under that waterfall is a pretty deep pond.
It was a spot where you could jump.
But it was so cold that day, and there was still water and water temperature.
But since I said it, I have no choice but to do it!
I've been a defensive person until now.
I wasn't the type of person who would go on an adventure like that, but maybe I was gradually pulled by the host family and became an adventurer.
Before I went abroad, I said, "I will never jump into the water temperature water."
My father jumped in and said, "Woo!"
But my father said to my mother, "Why don't you jump in?"
And I said, "No, I can't say that!"
I said, "Let's go," and I jumped in.
It was cold, but I put on my jacket and changed my clothes right away.
I'm really grateful to the host family.
There's that hiking, and then another two nights of hiking.
Oh, no.
My mother recommended me this hiking.
There's a Taranaki circuit that I was introduced to.
I was trying to go to Taranaki by day trip at first.
I was going to go one way and come back, but my mother said I should go to the circuit.
I went to the circuit.
I've never done much of this climbing.
But I was told it was a safe way.
Mother and father are in the rescue team, so there is also a belief in that word, but I went to stay with my father once to see what it was like over the mountains and left that video here.
After doing it, I went to Taranaki Circuit alone, but that's also a good jump, isn't it?
I often say that my mother and father pushed me a lot and I became a very adventurous person.
But I really thank you for spreading my world to me.
In New Zealand, there are no bears or snakes. There are poisonous bears, but why aren't there bears or snakes? Don't you think it's safe?
That's why I was climbing alone, but I'm a little scared when I think that there are quite a few bears in Japan just by glancing at the news.
No, I'm really grateful to the host family.
It was a good encounter. I am also very grateful to the principal of the school who created this park.
Thank you very much.
New Zealand will go again soon. It really became my other place of stay in Japan.
It's only been about two weeks since I returned to Japan, but it's strange that I feel like I'm here all the time.
If there's anyone waiting for me when I can meet you, I'd like to have a talk event or something like that.
I'd like to sing a cute song or something like that. I hope I can make an opportunity to meet you all.
I'm talking about it, too.
And I'm about to move my Instagram, too.
Hey, are you lost? I'm not good at this either.
It's important to face it one by one. I'm telling myself now.
I thought I couldn't do it anymore, and I gave up.
I thought about quitting posting in New Zealand.
When you're traveling in New Zealand, there's a lot of places where there's no radio.
And there's a lot of things I want to post on Instagram.
If you do it like this, it will accumulate.
The radio is bad and it's hard to post.
Out of the ten posts, one, two, three, five, six, seven were posted, but only four were not posted.
I thought I wanted to give you four as four in the meantime.
I want to erase everything.
I've had a lot of frustration on my own.
And then I said, "No, I'm going to rest."
I really want to tell you about the good things about New Zealand.
For the time being, this Hello Study Abroad channel, my posting is over.
Thank you very much for your company.
In the middle of it, I got really angry and got emotional again today.
In the end, it may have been a video like "What was studying abroad?"
I'm really glad I went abroad.
I was able to look back on my own life and myself.
I'm used to it and I'm fine at my own pace.
I'm going to make a lot of places.
This experience is very big for me, and I've been able to listen to English podcasts stress-free, and I've been able to continue speaking English to the point where I'm having fun listening to it.
I think it's very big for me.
I haven't read it yet, but I'm concentrating on one article.
I haven't read the book yet, but it's there.
English is like that, but if you get tired of this angle, at least from this angle, you can go back and make a difference, and you can touch it while thinking about it, and you can tell yourself that you are happy if you continue to have an English presence in you.
Thank you for staying with me on my channel from September 2022.
This channel was my growth diary.
Thank you for staying with me until the end.
The posting of the video will be suspended for a while, but if you want to study abroad and do this study abroad channel, I think it will be uploaded.
I'll talk about idols again.
Idols really live as idols, so you can experience a lot of things that you can only do there.
Then, when I want to take the next step, I...
I'm sure you're wondering what you can do other than this job.
Well, that's what I was like.
I'm a girl who lives in a group activity.
Well, there's a difference between being alone and being alone, but there's always strength and weakness in a group activity.
What can I do alone from here?
I've been riding the rails you've put up for me all this time.
We've been working together in a group activity.
When you're told, "Well, you can decide for yourself," "Well, what should I do?"
It means you'll definitely come, right?
And at that point, I'm really confident.
I want to tell you that you can do anything.
I'm not going to go that far.
What you really like about yourself, what you are, what you can do for others...
The experience of an idol is very...
I mean, group activities are a very learning environment.
That's why I want you to face yourself and create a new you when you're alone.
I think so.
What made you want to be an idol?
If there's anyone who wants to join this channel in the future...
You don't have to force yourself to do it.
I was really happy to be able to send out this environment because it was so easy for me.
And when you're abroad, you can share it in Japanese.
I was absolutely safe here.
It's thanks to the viewers who are watching, but they gave me some really kind words, so I'm up and down, but I think I was able to have a fun life in New Zealand, so I'd like to tell you that it's not bad.
Thank you for staying with me until the end. I would like to face Instagram firmly in the future, so I would be happy if you could check it out as well.
See you somewhere someday.
If I can meet you on Instagram, I'm waiting for you on Instagram.
