: OK, Kawabe!(Hai) Can you tell us about your English success story.Kawabe: Englishsuccess story (Yeah, yeah) It's not a success story but I can tell howI learned. OK, first of all, I don't think I learned English as a foreign,a foreign language because I loved to listen to music, especially rockn' roll when I was a teenage. So when you love music, you become, likeyou, you want to sing with it so you memorize the whole lyrics and youknow stuff and, so to me it was like, just, you know, a hobby, it wasjust a fun purely. It was the pure fun for me so, I didn't think I studied.
Todd: Wow, that'sgreat! So did you listen without reading the words, the lyrics, or didyou just listen and read the lyrics at the same time?
Kawabe: Um, both!(Both) Both, yeah! Sometimes, I'd see words which I don't understand,so I look up the dictionary and you know check the meaning and, youknow, the things was always like this.
Todd: Um, so didyou do anything else besides music?
Kawabe: Ah, whatelse? Yeah, the movie! The movie! Like, yeah, I loved to, one of myfavorite movies, the Blues Brothers, because you know, that movie isinteresting, and first of all, that funny, you know the funniest movieand like a great comedy in the history I think and that movie was famousfor it's music, right, you know, that movie's soundtrack is great, andI have the CD in my room. And then…
Todd: You haveit in your room?
Kawabe: Yeah!
Todd: Really!
Kawabe: Yeah!I do and, so I saw that movie so many times. I don't remember how manytimes I saw that, and when you , you know, after the repetition, youknow watching the same movies so many times you memorize a whole likewords and sentence, what John Belushi was saying, what Dan Aykrod wassaying, so it was a great study I think, for me!
Todd: Wow! That'sa great..
Kawabe: But atthat time I don't think that was studying you know!
Todd: Yeah, itwas fun! So you enjoyed it!
