In the face of Adversity
What do you say to a friend when they are hesitant in the face of some challenge?
“I want to try this, but I don’t know if I can do it.”
「これ、やってみたいけど、できるかな?」
“ko re, yatte mitai kedo, dekiru kana?”
“I’m interested, but I’m worried that it might not go well…”
「興味はあるけど、うまくいくかどうか不安…」
“Kyoumi wa aru kedo, umaku ikuka douka fuan…”
At times like these, you can say this:
“Be brave and give it a shot.”
「勇気を出して、やってみて?」
“Yuuki o dashite, yatte mite?”

“I bet it will be a good experience for you. Why not just muster your courage and give it a go?”
「きっといい経験になるよ。勇気を出して、やってみたらどう?」
“Kitto ii keiken ni naruyo. Yuuki o dashite, yatte mitara dou?”
Why be Brave?

Sometimes,
it may be a good idea to try saying “be brave” to yourself.
When you’re speaking Japanese, do you ever think:
“I wonder if this Japanese is right.”
“Will it be weird if I say this?”
and hesitate before speaking?
The person you’re speaking with may respond to you in English even if you start speaking in Japanese. This happens all the time.
Do you think “They can’t understand my Japanese” and get discouraged?
Do you think “But I’m speaking in Japanese!” and get frustrated?
Are you, perhaps, giving up at times like these without trying to say what you wanted to say one more time?
