Participate


Ever wanted to learn Japanese but those courses seem just too slow and expensive? Study with me and pick up some of the "real world" Japanese!

 I made this group as a place for people of all levels of Japanese to practice and share their experiences, and to teach those who are just starting. Being a learner of Japanese for three years, I know how hard it can be to study all by yourself with noone to tell you what to look for or where.

I would like to invite people who are just starting to learn to join us because there are some very valuable things you can hear from the people who already did the baby steps, both about Japanese and learning in general.

    Ohayou. (kocchi wa(or ha if you're hardcore, more on that later) mou yoru da kedo ne :)

    How was your breakfast is "Gohan wa(or ha if you're hardcore) dou datta ka?"

    Or "Gohan wa oishikatta ka?"

    Almost like @break said. Gj :)

    When writing Japanese, be sure to check the right transliteration or learn hiragana. Nobody can teach you how to write hiragana, it's something you just have to practice. Pronounciation is a different story, but I strongly encourage you to study hiragana as soon as possible(in other words right now).

    I'm very glad someone decided to write something in Japanese. Also, I've seen people adding me on Skype. That made me happy :) I hope to talk to you soon.
