Hi all! New here ! ✌🏼 looking forward to learning Japanese with everybody ! I’ve loved Japan culture since I was a child ❤️

Hello, I visited Japan last year and it was such an amazing experience. It motivated me to want to learn the language so I am better prepared for my next trip. I would like to learn enough to be able to speak and read Japanese as well as understanding basic conversation. It would also be really great to make some Japanese friends. As for this group, I would like to meet other people learning Japanese, make some good connections and help each other out in our Japanese learning journey. I am a complete beginner. I just learned Hiragana and just started Katakana, I know some basic phrases as well. Some resources I have found really useful that may help you as well: Busuu: (A free language learning site) https://www.busuu.com/ Free Android Apps: Kana Pro Japanese Dictionary Yomu Yomu JA Sensei Todaii Japanese Paid Android App: Wagotabi ($5, worth the money in my opinion)

If anyone has any tips I will gladly accept any :)

Hi everyone, I'm Fiona. I'm here to meet others who are interested in Japanese, so we can discuss and learn the language together more effectively. I travel to Japan fairly often, and one thing I’ve noticed is that knowing vocabulary and actually having a natural conversation are two very different things. I can usually understand the general meaning, but I still catch myself translating in my head before I speak. My goal now is less about “studying Japanese” and more about becoming comfortable enough to respond naturally in everyday situations. I’d love to hear from people who’ve made that jump. What helped you most — speaking practice, shadowing, listening, or just spending more time with native speakers?

Introduce yourself and share a pic of something Japanese you own or something Japanese that you're interested in! Feel free to explain why you want to learn Japanese or what you like about Japan. Also, feel free to post any Japanese language questions you have. I'd be glad to answer them! As for me, I love learning Judo. Have you ever tried it? And I love Japanese literature, such as Kokoro by Natsume Soseki. Have you read any Japanese novels? I also really enjoyed Cowboy Bebop when it came out! Not the live action Netflix version! To start learning, I highly recommend Your 50 First Sentences Course: https://www.skool.com/japanese/classroom/fe1c2853?md=60ee3552d26e4ffcb910a86675e10f95 Arigatou, Joe Sensei.
