Learn to think in a different way:
Japanese is a very challenging language to master but it is also exciting. This is especially true of literature, which reveals the possibilities of language beyond day-to-day communication. Literature is powerful because it creates encounters with with new people and places that even lead to new discoveries about oneself. The thing I love most about teaching Japanese literature is exploring the links between text, context, the familiar and the unfamiliar with my students.
