I've been away from HIVE for some time (like literally months), but man! Japanese lessons?? I'm actually stoked!
That's it, you've gained yourself a follower.
はじめまして! Uh, no, actually, I'm just on N5. Last thing I did was to learn by Duolingo, before I switched to actively listening to the words spoken in anime (since I do watch in Japanese dubs). Even the games I play are in Japanese dub, so yeah. I went as far as making my own dueling lines in Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force roleplays I made in ChatGPT, so yes I'm cringe
Nonetheless, I'm happy to read this blog! Ah, but where are my manners? Name's Elsie, by the way. はじめましてね～。I'm starting to forget my Hiragana already, so I just leave it to Google Keyboard about the Kanji (agh).
One question though: what inspired you to learn Japanese?
はじめまして！
Nice meeting you Elsie and even when you’ve been away from Hive for months, that’s alright! At least you’re here again now. 😉
I also like watching animes and dramas in Japanese. Although dubbing in another language is fine, I just like the original language better - which is Japanese.
Hmmm, tough question.
You mean the now or when I first started?
How about both? Nyahahahah! Because certainly that's also how you're able to meet your boyfriend, right? So, to reiterate...
What made you first learn the language? Like, what motivated you?
What made you continue pursuing it, going for N2 now?
