Interviul lunii noiembrie 2008 pe siteul JICA Romania cu Irina Roibu – presedinte Asociatia Himawari:

First of all, I would like to ask you, how did you start learning Japanese? What was your motivation? What about your first impression?

About 8 years ago, during high school, one of my colleagues was studying Japanese and because he hated going to classes alone, he started inviting several friends to go, and one day, my turn came and I went. I remember I was very nervous because it was the first time for me to meet a Japanese person. The teacher was very beautiful and modest. She was giving explanations with so much patience and she was smiling all the time. I thought “Oh, how different from the teachers at school!”
