在我心中,水老师真正是我的第一位汉语老师。她是中国早期的大学生,在日本的大学几乎教了一辈子汉语。我上大学时念法律,课余学了两年汉语,但一句话也不能说,听说她可以接受个人辅导课,就去找她,那时她已是六十多岁的老妇人了。从那天开始,我跟着她一直学了五年汉语。 In my heart, water teacher really is my first Chinese teacher. She was an early college student in China and taught almost all her life in Japanese universities. When I was in college, I studied law and spent two years studying Chinese in my spare time. However, I could not say a single word. When I heard that she could take a personal tutorial, she went to see her when she was an old woman in her 60s. From that day on, I followed her for five years studying Chinese.
