Korean Friend

I met my korean friend today, she doesn't speak english, speaks a little Japanese.
I met her last year in a bar, we were talking with google translation app.

Then today i met her in a second time though, she spoke japanese pretty well this time.

But still we have some problem comunication.

I tried to speak slow, louder, clear, with easy words.

This is not too different from when i talk with japanese people.

I try to use words they know.
i try to speak how they feel confortable.

Its like when you talk to kids. young like 4, 5 year-old kids.
you use easy words for them, of course.

As you can see talking 'easy to hear' is not throwing away your identity or being just like a nice person.
You are actually training people. telling them what you are.

by the way, language need to be understood. this is one of a comunication tool.

learning more words makes your life worth. but using easy words makes human relationship.

about my korean friend, she wouldn't be my friend if I was talking difficult Japanese and made her confused.

I'm glad to be her friend, sharing some time with her.

because she has a completely different world from me, she has many experiences that I've ever had.

sharing time with her talking, I would be a part of her life, and she would be a part of my life.

when I was talking to her, I felt like this.

I'm standing against the wall, she's standing on the other side of the wall. there is a small hole.

she's giving her hand toward me through the hole, and so am I.

we are feeling our fingers touching, a bit by bit.. but we could keep conversation to know each other.
