else.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dr. Bassoe found an interest in learning more about Japanese culture at an early age through media.\u00a0 Exposure to anime like <em>Dragon Ball Z<\/em>, <em>Sailor Moon<\/em>, and <em>Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> began to truly spark his interest.\u00a0 Having a background rooted in another foreign language, Portuguese, also helped foster his engagement with different cultures.\u00a0 During his childhood, he would go to Brazil and would watch anime in Portuguese translation, such as <em>Yuyu hakusho<\/em> and <em>Saint Seiya<\/em>, and thereby became aware that Japanese imagery had seemingly permeated media around the globe.\u00a0 From that moment on, his interest in Japanese grew.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Japanese at Ball State<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Growing up in central Florida, there were not many options to take an Asian language in high school.\u00a0 When looking at college programs, Ball State stood out because of the more developed Japanese program offered by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsu.edu\/academics\/collegesanddepartments\/modern-languages-classics\">Department of Modern Languages and Classics<\/a>.\u00a0 Although he initially planned to major in anthropology and minor in Japanese, within a few weeks of beginning language study, he decided to take on Japanese as a second major.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI feel like that sense of a tight-knit community and the accessibility of Japanese was unique at Ball State.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ball State offers a unique experience when it comes to studying Japanese.\u00a0 It is easy to take advantage of opportunities to practice Japanese and to become involved in different activities that bring foreign exchange and American students together, unlike other universities with large clubs and programs that are harder to become a part of.\u00a0 The accessibility of the language and the ability to get a personal connection with other people who speak the language is vital when trying to learn a new language.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Studying Abroad<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Dr. Bassoe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsu.edu\/academics\/centersandinstitutes\/rinker\/study-abroad\">studied abroad<\/a> at our sister school, Sapporo University, and found that there were few opportunities to speak English.\u00a0 He had this to say about his experience:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI studied Japanese for two years and then got to Japan and realized I couldn\u2019t have a conversation with anybody quite just yet&#8230;I studied hard&#8230; I did everything that I could, but I got there and I realized there&#8217;s so much vocabulary, so much slang, so many idioms, so many ways of speaking, that you really only encounter, I think, in\u00a0 real-life practice.\u00a0 So that&#8217;s something that I still feel&#8230; there are always words and expressions that come up that are different than when you&#8217;re reading a textbook.\u00a0 Reading a book there are just all these different levels and expressions of language so I feel like&#8230; the real accelerated course in Japanese came from studying abroad.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_449\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"

id=\"caption-attachment-449\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Bassoe recommends studying abroad to really immerse yourself in your language studies.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The experience of studying abroad is essential to anyone studying a foreign language.\u00a0 Textbooks can help you learn the basics of a language, but the real-life experience of immersing yourself into the language and culture is the best way to begin to truly communicate and understand.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Japanese as a Career<\/strong><\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c<em>The thing I really liked about Japanese was that it gave me a very particular skill<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Japanese is a marketable skill in both the academic and professional job markets.\u00a0 The ability to take a proficiency test and say definitively that you can communicate at a certain level can set you apart from the crowd.\u00a0 Japanese, in particular, is a language that may not have as much competition as other popular languages, like French or Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>After graduating from Ball State, Dr. Bassoe went on to get his Master\u2019s Degree from the University of Oregon and then his Ph.D. from University of California, Berkeley.\u00a0 He accredits his success to encouragement he received from his professors along the way who inspired him to continue his education.\u00a0 Before accepting his new position at Purdue University, Dr. Bassoe was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon.\u00a0 He is looking forward to both the institutional support and the opportunity to write and publish, as well as the ability to interact with many different people from different backgrounds and walks of life.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Advice for Current Students<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h5><em>Double Major.<\/em><\/h5>\n<p>Double majoring can be nice, especially if your other major is vastly different.\u00a0 Studying a foreign language takes a different kind of mental energy than other disciplines and can be a fun way to balance things out.\u00a0 Language classes can be a lot, but they feel like a break from writing essays and other kinds of classwork.<\/p>\n<h5><em>Join a club.<\/em><\/h5>\n<p>Take advantage of groups like the Japan Club, which provide the opportunity to practice language with foreign exchange students and to learn new aspects of the culture. Try to integrate the language into your personal and social life as much as possible in these environments where you have access to people who can speak the languages you are trying to learn.<\/p>\n<h5><em>Continue to study and learn<\/em>.<\/h5>\n<p>It can be difficult to continue to study and learn as you go down different educational and career paths, but learning a foreign language can open doors to opportunities you might not have thought about.\u00a0 Learning a foreign language can help you to communicate more clearly, think creatively, and imagine new approaches to problems from a different angle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Read more of our alumni spotlight stories by clicking <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bsu.edu\/csh\/category\/alumni\/\">here<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Pedro Bassoe, an alumnus of the Department of Modern Languages and Classics, recently accepted a position of Assistant Professor in Japanese at Purdue University, where he will be teaching Japanese literature, visual culture, and film, among other courses.\u00a0 He took some time from settling into his new position to reflect about learning Japanese and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":451,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17,11,25],"tags":[19,82,81,83],"class_list":["post-446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumni","category-humanities","category-modern-languages-and-classics","tag-csh-alumni","tag-japanese","tag-modern-languages-classics","tag-pedro-bassoe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Connecting Cardinals: Pedro Bassoe - College of Sciences &amp;
