Hello everyone

If you have been following my blogs or my post on social media, you know that I am going back to Japan in November.

As I’m going by myself for two weeks, I want to learn a good amount of Japanese by the time I go as it will help so much and it would be good to learn something new.

I am really finding learning Japanese rather interesting, for a few weeks I have been using a free app on my phone to learn a lot of the words from greetings to colours but didn’t really give me more than that.

I saw an advert for Busuu, a site that helps with learning a new language, with Japanese with one of them so decided to try it out and wow, I’ve been really impressed with how it teaches you (this isn’t a paid ad for them by the way) even got native Japanese speakers who can advise you, at the time I’m writing this post I’ve been on this many days in a row I’ve become addicted.

Only while learning, I’ve hit a slight problem that only really affects me and that involves my voice training to sound feminine.

I naturally speak fast, which is good for the language I want to learn as a lot of the words are pronounced fast BUT part of my voice training is speaking slowly til my feminine voice sounds more natural.

So I got a challenge of learning Japanese in my normal voice and then to learn how to say it with my feminine voice. As I’m learning this like 10 months in advance, I’ve got a chance of doing this but god it’s going to take some time!

I do have a youtube channel of my voice training & vblogs of yours truly learning Japanese if you want to check those out here.

Anyway, thanks for reading
Megan
