study abroad in Japan | class, stationary haul, and japanese grocery store

[@TheRealNirvana]

Hey there! I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I've been dedicatedly studying Japanese for the past year and will be moving to Japan this September. I couldn't be more excited! If you have any valuable tips to share from your experience as a KZbinr or in general, I would be thrilled to hear them. My goal is to expand my channel and make it a helpful resource for teaching English and reaching a wider audience. Keep up the fantastic work!

I feel like being consistent is the best thing you can do - film more than you think you need so when you edit you always have more videos you can put out and help grow your channel 😊 I’ve been struggling with my consistency and have noticed how big of a difference it makes when you actually are! Best of luck with your studies and move!

Your Japanese pronunciation is perfect.

How long have you been studying Japanese for and how do you do it? I want to get better at it 😭😭

[@katherineinkansai]

I’ve been self studying on and off since 2016 - I’m very much still a beginner and am currently taking a beginning Japanese class here. As someone who has only ever self studied I feel like I would recommend trying to find a class you could join bc it helps keeping you study everyday. and then on the side watch a lot of Japanese KZbinrs or jdramas to help learn / become familiar with the speed and phonetics of speaking Japanese :-) that would be my recommendation looking back on my efforts! Good luck!!

It’s actually a study abroad program that was affiliated with my university! So there’s a bunch of other American college students with me from other universities too
