Speaking a second language is a step by step process
Oh my god! This phrase like "step by step" I listened to this for
Almost a year as I moved to Toronto. From the first day, he's telling me almost every day
Step by step, step by step, step by step
We will try our best to prepare and we try to
Sorry I'm a little bit tired..

Anna scherbakova of Russia. What an outstanding performance! Your first experience in the Junior Grand Prix.
How have you enjoyed the week so far?
I really enjoyed it. I was excited to skate here because it's my first international competition

Indeed. Your english is excellent!
Here with Alyona. It's been a great Skate. I think you have a new record here. How is it important for you?
No, it isn't important because every competition I try to skate my program clean
and the scores will improve more and more.

Here with us, Jason Brown and Mirai Nagasu from team USA
Jason Brown: Hi everyone [Japanese]
Jason Brown showing a card asking Yuzuru to get well soon after he injured himself and withdrew from the competition in NHK Trophy 2017
Why motivated you to do it?
I was very sad and I like Yuzu a lot
So I felt like the event wasn't the same without him. So I wanted to create a sign
that I could hold up in the "Kiss and Cry" to show like he is here with us and um we all miss him
But Japanese Characters are very difficult. Let's take a look at what Jason did before showing the card
Jason show the card to Japanese Skater, Satoko Miyahara asking if the words are correct before showing it to the public
Yes! After I wrote it I wanted to make sure
that I had it correct before I sat in the "Kiss and Cry" because i was nervous so I wrote it
And I made the whole sign and then I checked with Satoko. I was like "Okay? okay?" She said "okay" and I said "Okay"..
I want to be an elementary school teacher
I want to teach English in Japan
Akiko [Retired Japanese Figure Skater]: I want to learn English. Please teach me.
Jason: Perfect! Yes for sure!
Wow he can write Kanji as well? (There are 3 writing system in Japanese - Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. Kanji is considered the most difficult even for Japanese)
Jason: Thank you so much. Japanese is so difficlut!
Mao Asada (Team Japan) and Evgenia Medvedeva (Team Russia) - Backstage in World Figure Skating Championship 2016
Mao to Evgenia: You try to say in Japanese. Maybe everybody will be happy.
Then, Evgenia to the Japanese Interviewer: Excuse me, are you media from Japan?
I would like to say something in Japanese that I know. Will that be alright?
Is this Sailormoon Lyrics? Yes!
Do you love Sailormoon?
I watched four seasons of sailor moon and I like her so much.
She even put up a sign on her IG "I love Japan"
Thank you very much.
Then some questions to you guys
I'll come here to the Japanese corner
First of all um I would like to know how do you guys celebrate it last evening because you got two medals to Japan.
So did you have a party or something?
Shoma: I was in my room, playing video games with Keiji, and slept around 11pm
Yuzuru: What? You guys played video games and didn't invite me along?
Shoma turned his head to check Yuzu's expression thinking "Am I dead? My senior is gonna kill me.." (So cute!!)

Um actually I was alone. I was left out by my peers. Thinking about my Short Program and studying it.
Okay then we go here to the Chinese corner. And we have a special guest here that will translate.
