Diary May,15

I had a part time job. I work at a  Okonomiyaki restaurant. Yesterday, Chinese people came to the restaurant as customers. One group, they could speak English, so I can communicated with them. However, another group members couldn't speak English and Japanese. They spoke to me in Chinese. I don't know Chinese at all. I gave a pen and a paper. But I couldn't understand the Kanji. I wanted to communicate with them more, but it was very hard for me. I want to study English hardly, and I have to study other language too!
