Text.
but my Korean can improve more
韓国語はもうひとつ、とかね
kankokugo wa mou hito tsu, toka ne
But my goal is...
しかし、目標はいろいろな新しい言葉を
shi kashi, mokuhyou wa iroiro na atarashī kotoba o
to discover new languages. For example
発見するというか、その言葉を、今の例えば
hakken suru toiuka, sono kotoba o, ima no tatoeba
my Arabic and Persian are still not that great but
アラブ語、ペルシャ語の僕の程度はあまり良くないけど
arabu go, perushago no boku no teido hā mari yokunai kedo
Arabs become more alive to me
それでも、アラブ人が生きてくるんですよ
soredemo, arabujin ga ikite kurunde su yo
Persians and their culture, the people
ペルシャ人が、その文化、その人たちが
perusha hito ga, sono bunka, sono hitotachi ga
are not just names or some country on a map
単なる名前とか、地図にこういう国があるという
tannaru namae toka, chizu ni kou iu kuni ga aru toiu
but rather they become more alive
ことではなくて、もっと生きてくる
koto dehanakute, motto ikiteku ru
So my goal is not to be super fluent but
だから目標は、非常にぺらぺらに…
dakara mokuhyou wa, hijouni perapera ni
Well I used to live in Japan for 9 years
僕は日本に9年住んでいたんです
boku wa nihon ni 9 nen sundeita ndesu
so no matter how much I study Arabic
だからいくらアラブ語を勉強しても
dakara ikura arabu go o benkyou shite mo
my Arabic won't be as fluent as my Japanese
日本語ほど流暢には話さないですよ
nihongo hodo ryūchou ni wa hanasanaide su yo
But as an individual, I just want to know more
ただ、ひとつの人間というか、同じ時期に
tada, hito tsuno ningen toiuka, onaji jiki ni
about other people and their culture who are living
同じ地球に住んでる人間のそういう文化をもう少し
onaji chikyū ni sunderu ningen nosou iu bunka o mou sukoshi
on this same planet at the same time, so I enjoy learning languages
知りたいということで、言葉を勉強するのは楽しみです
shiritai toiu koto de, kotoba o benkyou suru no wa tanoshimi desu
So learning a language means learning and
言葉を勉強するということは、その国のことを知る
kotoba o benkyou suru toiukotoha, sono kuni no koto o shiru
getting to know the country and culture
その文化を知るということになるということですね
sono bunka o shiru toiu kotoninaru toiu koto desu ne
That's right. You become a bit more closer to them
そうです。そういう人たちに少し親しくなるんです
soudesu. souiu hitotachi ni sukoshi shitashiku naru ndesu
You become a bit closer - you don't know the culture deeply
親しくなるんです、深くその文化は知らないです
shitashiku naru ndesu, fukaku sono bunka wa shiranaidesu
Those people have been living in their culture
この国の人たちは小さい時からこの文化の中に
kono kuni no hitotachi wa chīsai toki kara kono bunka no naka ni
