Welcome New Members to Japanese Language Learners!
Introduce yourself and share a pic of something Japanese you own or something Japanese that you're interested in! Feel free to explain why you want to learn Japanese or what you like about Japan. Also, feel free to post any Japanese language questions you have. I'd be glad to answer them! As for me, I love learning Judo. Have you ever tried it? And I love Japanese literature, such as Kokoro by Natsume Soseki. Have you read any Japanese novels? I also really enjoyed Cowboy Bebop when it came out! Not the live action Netflix version! To start learning, I highly recommend Your 50 First Sentences Course: https://www.skool.com/japanese/classroom/fe1c2853?md=60ee3552d26e4ffcb910a86675e10f95 Arigatou, Joe Sensei.

Hi, my name is Sumeyye. I've actually been learning Japanese on and off but rarely retained my language skills. Skool works great for me. What are my goals? I want to be able to type and read properly. My fist goal is having conversational fluency for a trip I plan to visit my friends in Tokyo + Osaka. It would be great if I could manage reading on my own and finding my way without relying on them or embarrassing myself. My favourite anime is Bungo Stray Dogs. I love the detective genre.

@J. Alexander Bennett Arigato! For anime, I would rank detective Conan on number one (older seasons usually have better plots, some movies are great) followed by Bungou Stray Dogs, Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens, Black Butler and to some extent Psycho Pass. I didn't watch Moriarty the Patriarch but it has some great reviews. I also didn't read the novels by the famous Dazai Osamu character though and one thing I also hope to gain more insight into is how translated novels from Japanese or Korean are so different to consume from a Western cultural world view.
