how i wish i studied japanese differently (tips for beginners + self-studying) 🇯🇵

Seriously, I have been learning Japanese FOREVER it feels like, and I'm nowhere near as good as I should be. My main problem is that I kept getting burnt out and stepped away from Japanese for about a year MULTIPLE TIMES (!!) Don't do this!! 😂💀 I'm so dumb!!

Since I've relearned Japanese two or three times (seriously.....) I've realized a lot about how I wish I had studied Japanese differently, especially in the beginning!! So in this video I'll go over my tips for beginners and for people who are self-studying the language!

It can be hard but don't give up! And nowadays we are so fortunate to not just have to rely on textbooks. There are tons of resources online that if you don't make use of, you won't be learning Japanese as efficiently or properly as you could be!

Let me know if you have any questions about it!! And sorry for my wonky Japanese at the beginning, speaking on camera made me really stiff since I've never done it before 💀😩 Like I'm a baby again 🥺

Please be sure to like, comment, and subscribe for more content about Japan in the future!! It helps me out so much 🥰 I post a new video every Tuesday JST!

And let me know in the comments if you have any future video requests as well ❤️ See you guys again next week!
