      Important words in anime:
      - All in video
      - ばか (Baka) idiot.
      - しね!(Shi ne) die
      - あいしている (aishiteiru) I love you
      Learn these words and you won’t need subtitles anymore...

      I plan to move to Japan. I love the food, the culture, and cute little things they sell and such. I've been planning for about a month now and I decided to learn japanese young. That way I'll be extremely good when I move. I'm 14 right now. I plan to either do college there or here in the U.S, move to japan, find a well paying job that I enjoy, eventually convince a friend to move into an apartment with me, marry, move into a bigger apartment, raise a family and then travel the world. I know it's a lot to plan at such a young age but I feel that if you plan years before something you actually are devoted to it and stick to it.

Currently I’m looking into taking lessons. Originally I was actually going to move to Japan, but now I just think it’s best if i stay in the United States. Also I think that it is just cool to learn a new language... 😅

    Heres some tips that helped me. (I learned these by heart within a day)
    1. Write these down. English phrase---> Japanese phrase.
    2. Repeat them to yourself and quiz yourself
    3. Tell them to a parent or friend, and have a SMALL conversation like have your mom or whatever say "how do you do" in japanese and reply with "goodnight" in Japanese. It's funny, and seems stupid but it genuinely helped me a lot.
    Hope this helps! Let me know if it did!

    I am Japanese.
    I don't usually use "douzo yoroshiku (どうぞよろしく)". If the person you are talking to is the same age as you, you should say "yoroshikune(よろしくね)". If the person you are talking to is older than you or in a work situation, you should use "yoroshiku onegai shimasu(よろしくおねがいします)".

      Me too! I'm also here cause if I learn a third language (after knowing Spanish) then it can be used to my advantage.
