Japanese Self-Introduction 日本語での自己紹介

This my first self-introduction video in Japanese. I and other ALTs were invited to a Japanese couple's house and had us wear some kimonos. Since there couldn't be anything more Japanese than a kimono, I thought I would make my self-introduction on the spot. It was very impromptu and casual so you could see some of them laughing...

Here is the English translation for the video:

Hello everyone, I'm Nick. I have made quite a few videos on youtube in the past, but now for the first time, I'd like to make a Japanese self-introduction video.

I have lived in Tokyo before as an exchange student, but now I work as an ALT in Minami-Alps City which is in Yamanashi,Japan. I teach English at elementary and junior high school. There are a lot of challenges everyday but I am having fun for the most part.

I am very interested in learning languages. I am interested not only in Japanese, but also in Chinese and Korean. In the future, I'd like to use these languages and teach at university, or work as a translator.

In the future I'd like to make more videos about language learning on youtube, so if you have time please check them out. Thank you!
