Hi, hi~! =)

Many think that Japanese is near impossible to learn.  The truth is, being able to master any language takes great amounts of study, practice and dedication.  The most important of these is dedication because you won’t bother to study and practice if you dont have a strong will to learn the language.  Leave all of your excuses behind! There’s always that little red button at the top of the screen that says you can quit whenever you want…

Don’t you dare click it!

It is not impossible to learn Japanese.  There are millions of new things to learn and I know starting can be daunting.  Knowing how to approach it may help ease your worries and so, we will start with the basics.  Once you know the basic elements of Japanese, you can develop a system of studying. When you begin to recognize the patterns of Japanese writing and speech, you will explode into a world of understanding and studying won’t feel like such a chore.

The first thing I can assume about you is that you are interested in the country of Japan itself or its culture. Maybe you hope that learning a new language will enhance you career or aid you in life. Maybe you just watch entirely too much anime or read tons of different manga and want to enjoy them in their natural language. Original Japanese works of art, popular music, and literature can be yours to explore. Maybe you’d like to travel to Japan one day, journeying through such magnificent cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. Why depend on someone else to translate for you?  Go get lost in Japan by yourself!

Whatever the case, I welcome you because it is for all of these reasons that I am studying Japanese too. I try to dip into every facet of Japanese culture while learning all the Japanese I can.

So are you ready? Come learn Japanese with me. =D
