Born and Raised in...

I was born and raised in Japan, but I've always been attracted to foreign countries and their culture.  Now I'm really interested in Germany.  After watching the World Cup, my interest in the country grew stronger, and I even started learning basic words and phrases. I'm hoping to travel to Germany next year.

Today we'll be learning basic phrases I used in the text above.

I was born and raised in Japan.
Watashi wa nihon de umare sodatta.
わたしはにほんでうまれそだった。
私は日本で生まれ育った。

*Replace the underlined word with a country (or city, province). See the example below:

I was born and raised in Italy.
Watashi wa Italy de umare sodatta.
わたしはイタリアでうまれそだった。
私はイタリアで生まれ育った。

---

I am interested in Germany.
Watashi wa doitsu ni kyoumi ga arimasu.
わたしはドイツにきょうみがあります。
私はドイツに興味があります。

*You can replace the underlined word with any thing/place that you are interested in.

I am interested in music.
Watashi wa ongaku ni kyoumi ga arimasu.
わたしはおんがくにきょうみがあります。
私は音楽に興味があります。

---

I'm hoping to travel to Germany next year.
Rainen doitsu e ryokou ni ikitai desu.
らいねんドイツへりょこうにいきたいです。
来年ドイツへ旅行に行きたいです。

*next year = rainen = らいねん = 来年

**Replace the underlined word with any place you'd like to visit.

I'm hoping to travel to Russia.
Russia e ryokou ni ikitai desu.
ロシアへりょこうにいきたいです。
ロシアへ旅行に行きたいです。
