This is Yuko from Japan.
I was attending SJSU from 2006-2008. I majored in Cultural Anthropology.
I thought I have graduated the university last spring, so I came back to Japan,
but it turned out that I haven't...!
Thanks to the online courses, I didn’t have to fly back to the U.S. and look for a new place to live.
Right now, I am living with my family in my hometown, and working part time at a cake shop.
I took only one communication class at a community college. It was a small group communication class. I lived in the U.S for four years, but in the first year, I couldn’t speak English very well. So I often pretended that I understand what others are saying. From this, I experienced many misunderstandings.
In this course, I want to learn how people can communicate effectively over their different cultural backgrounds and language barriers.
I will try my best to contribute to this course, and enjoy communicating with you all.
