I Have No Time To Learn Japanese
Author: admin / Category: LanguagesPeople want to learn Japanese for a lot of reasons. You could be moving to Japan or taking a holiday there. Or you may not need to speak Japanese at all but choose to in order to impress friends. One thing is for certain though, and that is that being able to speak another language is worthwhile.
Although I had wanted to learn Japanese for a long time I guess the main reason why I finally decided to do something about it was because I was planning a long trip to Tokyo. 3 months is a long time to just point and nod, so I thought I should make an effort to speak to get by out there. I’m not sure if I can speak Japanese fluently, but am constantly asked that question.
I speak with confidence now I feel when talking Japanese, but there is always more that you can achieve. I think it’s highly unlikely I will ever know how to speak Japanese fluently. There’s more to learn even if you think you’ve taught yourself well. I am actually able to watch and fully know what’s happening in Japanese cartoons and movie now without subtitles. If I can sit and watch a movie in English and know what’s going on, then there’s no reason with a little work I shouldn’t be able to do the same in Japanese.
There is still a way to go in my learning but I’m getting there. It’s been tough to go from not knowing any words or phrases in Japanese to knowing a fair amount and you are probably wondering how I managed it. If you want the honest answer, it took many hours of learning and perseverance. The trip from where I was and to where I got to was definitely not simple. If you want to learn a language like I have then you will need to fully committed to be able to succeed. But the important thing is that anyone can actually do it they want to.
Making enough time in your busy schedule mixed in with other things is pretty hard to do. If, for example you use your time wisely you can fit in study.
