Best Thing Ever

Japanese learning tip for the new year: I highly recommend learning with a native Japanese speaker. As someone who is self-taught in Japanese, I used to just study with textbooks and online notes. While my Japanese was understandable, I was often told it sounded stiff and academic. It wasn't until I started regularly practicing with native speakers that people commented on how much more natural my Japanese sounded. So if you have the time and some extra pocket money, invest those extra hours spent at home this year in lessons with native speakers! My favorite tutoring site is italki.com, and my favorite teacher there is Elly, a native speaker from Kumamoto with years of experience teaching foreign residents in Japan. (All of the teachers on italki are wonderful, but please especially check out Elly because she's awesome!!!!)

Please leave me any comments or messages if you have questions about online Japanese learning!
