What I learned from foreign students

 What I think about foriegn student.

They have strong mind to do something they are interested in. They study alot and aquire skills a lot.
It may be just my stereotype of foreign student but still I can't stop to think so. I often see my Japanese friends sleeping in the class. But how about foreign student?
They listen what teacher and/or other student say and have their own opinion.
I was surprised when I saw student say their opinion and then other student make a counterargument to the student.
I could learn many things studying with foreign students.

Here are two pictures of two guys from U.S.
Jake and Andrew.



Jake



Andrew

They studied Japanese when I come to them and they both spoke Japanese really well even I thought no need to convey what I think in English.
I was afraid to talk to them when I approached to them because I could be strange Japanese student who wnats to take their picture.

But they nicely invite me to their table and hear what I was doing.
We talked for a while and I admired their attitude to studying. Jake also can speak Spanish but his major is science. I haven't seen Japanese science students interested in language even it's highly required in business now.
I thought I shoud practice my English more and more not to be ashamed to say my major is English.
