Hello everyone! Greetings! My name is Noah Friedberg. I am a new lesson

I was born on the east coast of the U.S. in Norwich, Connecticut.

Norwich is about 2 hours north of New York City by car.
It is a quiet New England town.

After a year at college in New England (Massachusetts)
I moved to Brooklyn, New York City where I attended Brooklyn College.

I lived there for 6 years and this time was very exciting for me.

I studied black literature with some amazing African American professors.

Usually I was the only white person in my classes of 30 or 40 students!
£³£°¡Á£´£°¿Í¤ÎÀ¸Å̤ÎÃæ¤Ç¡¢»ä¤ÏÍ£°ì¤ÎÇò¿Í¤Ç¤·¤¿¡£


Brooklyn is a fascinating place to live because it is the most
international place in the world.

There are more cultures in Brooklyn, NYC than anywhe else.
¥Ö¥ë¥Ã¥¯¥ê¥ó¤Ë¤Ï¾¤Î¤É¤³¤è¤ê¤â¤¿¤¯¤µ¤ó¤Îʸ²½¤¬¤¢¤ê¤Þ¤¹¡£


In every class there were students from every culture:
Chinese, African, African-American, Russian, Polish,
Jamaican, Puerto Rican, Arab, Jewish, Korean, Japanese---
the list does not end!

It was great because when the professor asked a question
I would hear the opinion of the world!

During my time in Brooklyn I had a band with 3 French members, 2
African-American members and myself.

For a year and a half we played every week in NYC
and we went to Paris and Amsterdam to perform two £ôimes.
It was a really amazing experience.

After 5 or 6 years in NYC, I needed a change so I moved to Nagoya for
almost 2 years.

I always wanted to study another language and live in a foreign country-
especially in Asia, so to Nagoya I went.

I had a great time there studying Japanese
and was so happy to eat Japanese food everyday.

After living in Nagoya I moved to Hawaii where I became a high school
English teacher.

Hawaii`s culture is very, very different from mainland
America so it was almost like being in a foreign country again even though
everyone spoke English.

My students were such mix of cultures!

In my classes of 30 students there were Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Samoan,
Hawaiian, Maori- the list goes on and on.

White students were a minority and many students were of mixed ethnicity.

I lived on the island of Kauai.¡¡

It is right next to Oahu, but it is much different.

Perhaps it is the most beautiful natural place in the world!

I had a great time there surfing and hiking through the mountains.
I also had a great reggae band there and we recorded an album in a really

People ask me recently why I came here.
Well, there are three main reasons:
¤ß¤ó¤Ê¤¬»ä¤Ë¼ÁÌ䤹¤ë¤ó¤Ç¤¹¤¬¡¢¤Ê¤ó¤Ç¤³¤³¤ËÍ褿¤«¤Ã¤Æ¡£
¤¦¡Á¤ó¡¢»°¤Ä¤ÎÍýͳ¤¬¤¢¤ë¤ó¤Ç¤¹¤¬¡¦¡¦¡¦
1) I wanted to work as an English teacher again.
­¡¤Þ¤¿¡¢±Ñ¸ì¤Î¶µ»Õ¤¬¤ä¤ê¤¤


2) I wanted to live in the big city again where I can meet many
musicians, producers, club owners and play alot of music.

3)I think Japanese culture is very interesting so I wanted to live in
Japan and study Japanese again.
