Learning the language

I spent some time learning the Japanese language verbally, not reading/written. However, I have found it hard to keep it all in memory. I think I did it too fast. Instead of focusing on maybe 5 key sentences a week, or even just words. I tried to learn about 30 sentences in a week. It didn't work. 

I know only remember a few key words, such as Arigato (Thank you), Sumimasen (Sorry/Excuse Me), Watshi wa Mel des (I am Mel). Plus some counting numbers, such as 1 - 10 in Japanese. I am disappointed in myself, but I feel, I may have made it too difficult in a short number of time, trying to learn. 

In addition, I do not have a chance to practice it very much, although, I do seem to add it to conversations of Japan, but then I only remember those above words. 

I want to learn. I need may be a word a day? Or a sentence a day? And then every day, repeat the word/sentence and add a new one to learn for that day. 

I am going to try this. 

Last year, I did sign up to Japanese Pod 101. I thought it was a good layout of classes and it showed not just the language, but also the written language.

Disneyland in Japan

  Image sourced via:  Tokyo Disneyland 1-Day Passport | GetYourGuide Disneyland in Japan is the one / top place I want to travel to with my family. I have always wanted to take my family to Disneyland and why not visit Japan at the same time?  My questions for travelling to Disneyland in Japan So I have some questions, like, when travelling on rides, are the actor's/spokespeople talking in Japanese or do they also speak in English?  I feel like this is an important question. If people came to Australia, it is in English. So it makes sense if the language spoken is in Japanese.  So I found this:  Tokyo Disney Resort – Travel guide at Wikivoyage  and apparently, the main language spoken at Disneyland in Japan is Japanese. However, most signs at the park are multilingual.  Ok, so I definitely need this as a reason to keep learning Japanese. Also, what sort of attractions besides rides are there? I believe Harry Potter is a big theme in Disneyland. I ...

Welcome to my new blog

   Image sourced via:  https://www.celebritycruises.com/blog/what-is-japan-known-for Hello and welcome, My name is Mel and I am excited to start this new blog related to Japan travels. I personally haven't visited Japan yet, but I am keen to take my family there in the next ten years. (Seems like a long time, but other goals trump this one at this stage). However, there is nothing wrong with a long goal. I can learn the language and may be even the wording to read while over there.  I have started to learn the Japanese language, such as Watshi wa Mel des. I am Mel and Arigato - Thank you. Obviously, I need to learn a lot more and ten years should give me a wealth of time, I just need the commitment to keep learning.  Have you ever travelled to Japan, please comment below with your most favourite location to visit.  This blog is going to be everything Japan that I want to see when I travel and hope you might find some cool discoveries as well.  Please f...

Where to learn how to speak Japanese

Image
I spent about three months, on and off learning to speak (not read) Japanese. I signed up to www.Japanesepod101.com and received easy and not too long Japanese online classes. What I liked is, you could select what the English words were and what the Japanese words were.  I found the year subscription price, quite affordable, if broken down how much I would be spending a day. For example, I could use the online classes any time of day or night, for a long period or a short period.  I did like how they spoke in English and then in Japanese. I also liked that they had the normal easy starting off Japanese language learning, such as numbers and introducing yourself. But what I really liked is you could also learn full sentences. I like to learn full sentences, because I feel like I can say cooler stuff than just trying to say one word.  If for Christmas or the New Year, you want to learn Japanese, I strongly suggest you learn from www.Japanesepod101.com.
