メリークリスマス、みなさん！ (Merī Kurisumasu! — Merry Christmas!) I started this group with one simple goal: to help people learn Japanese. You are helping me to achieve that goal!!! Thanks to everyone who has joined, posted, spoken up and practised — you’ve turned this from just a study space into a real community. In Japanese, “Merry Christmas” is written in katakana like this: 🎄 メリークリスマス Merī Kurisumasu Feel free to reply with: メリークリスマス！ Or a message about how you’re spending Christmas 🎁 (even if you're working or you don't celebrate)! Thank you for being part of this journey. ありがとう！！ Let’s keep learning Japanese together into the new year 🇯🇵✨

Does anyone here have any experience with practicing Japanese in VR spaces? In Meta Worlds there is a area called Visit Japan that is a very well done Japanese structure that you can walk through and enjoy, and it is populated by both Japanese and non Japanese speakers who want to promote Japan tourism. It is a lovely area that you should check out if you have the means. It can be accessed with a Meta VR headset or from a computer.

Hey I’ve been watching the hiragana videos and have went through them all today and practiced it, I’ve actually been able to pick it up fast watching through day 11. When I’ve looked up words in Japan I’ve started picking up the sounds and how it’s supposed to sound but they seem to have hiragana with single and double strokes to make it sound different and also other letters I think that’s kanji. Is it worth learning kanji aswel and how would I go about learning the way hiragana is used when it’s pronounced different with the strokes Thanks

Konnichiwa, On the eleventh day of the hiragana challenge we learn no fu me ya! 🎄✨ Second last day!! If you've made it this far, pleas be very proud of yourself!!! Let me know if there are any errors or issues. Ganbatte kudasai (try your best)!!!
