Hey Everyone!
初めまして！
My name is A, and I am a little bit of a shy person hence the initial and picture of this bird I found at Lake Biwa. I am from the state of Michigan in the United States, but now am living in Otsu City in Shiga Prefecture working on our shared sister city relations. The truth is that I had requested Shiga Prefecture when applying to work in Japan after living here previously in 2014-2015 as a student.
私はＡです。実は少しシャイな人なので、このニックネームや琵琶湖で見つけた鳥の写真を使います。出身はアメリカのミシガン州ですが、現在ランシング市の姉妹都市である滋賀県大津市に住んでいます。実は日本で働くための申込を書いた際、滋賀県を希望しました。なぜか、２０１４年から2015年まで留学したことができましたから。
My posts on this blog will be aimed towards anything I find interesting in Otsu that hasn’t been covered yet by the other wonderful CIRs.
他の素敵なＣＩＲがもうできなくて、大津市にある面白そうなことについて書こうと思います。よろしくお願いします。

Salut tout le monde!
Hey everyone!
はじめまして！
Je m’appelle Émilie. Je viens du Québec et je suis arrivée à Shiga comme coordinatrice des relations internationales (CIR) à l’été 2017. J’ai deux bac, un en bande dessinée et un en traduction et rédaction (anglais au français). C’est ma troisième fois au Japon, mais ma première à Shiga; j’ai précédemment vécu à Sakai (Osaka) et Nagoya (Aichi). Ma langue maternelle est le français, mais je parle couramment anglais et japonais.
My name is Émilie. I come from Quebec and I arrived in Shiga as a Coordinator for International Relations (CIR) in summer 2017. I have two bachelor’s degrees: one in sequential art and one in translation and writing (English to French). This is my third time in Japan, but my first in Shiga; I previously lived in Sakai (Osaka) and Nagoya (Aichi). My native language is French, but I’m also fluent in English and Japanese.
私はエミリーと申します。カナダのケベック州から２０１７年の夏に国際交流員として滋賀県に参りました。大学で漫画と翻訳（英仏）を専攻しました。滋賀県は初めてだけど、前にも大阪府の堺市と愛知県の名古屋市に住んだことがあります。母語がフランス語だけれど、英語も日本語も流暢に話せます。
よろしくお願いします！
Enjoy!
Amusez-vous bien!Émilie

みなさん、初めまして！
Oi, pessoal! É um prazer!
Hi, everyone! Nice to meet you!
２０１９年の４月に滋賀県のブラジル国際交流員として着任して、ここでの新しい生活を始めました！滋賀県のことは未だあまり詳しくないですが、素敵な県だと思いますし、毎日もっともっと好きになっています！
Eu assumi o cargo de Coordenador de Relações Internacionais brasileiro de Shiga em abril de 2019 e deste então comecei minha nova vida aqui! Ainda não sei tantas coisas sobre Shiga, mas acho ela uma província linda e cada dia me apaixono mais e mais!
I started working as the Shiga’s Brazilian Coordinator for International Relations in April this year, and that’s when my new life here started! I still don’t know so many things about Shiga, but I think it is a beautiful prefecture and love it more and more everyday!
私の趣味はゲーム、サイクリング、そして日本語の勉強です！ 前に日本に遊びに来たことはありますが、住むのは初めてなので毎日が発見でいっぱいでとても楽しいです！
Meus hobbies são jogos, ciclismo e o estudo da língua japonesa! Eu já vim para o Japão anteriormente, mas é minha primeira vez morando aqui, então todos os dias são muitos divertidos e cheios de descobertas!
My hobbies are games, cycling and the study of the Japanese language. I came to japan before, but it’s my first time living here, so everyday is full of discoveries and I have a lot of fun!
