Konnichiwa, Genki desu ka? (How are you) If you have any questions about Japanese language or culture, feel free to post them here. Anyone can chime in with an answer and I'll throw in my 2 cents also. We can learn from each other's questions. Let's get stronger at Japanese as a community!! Ganbatte kudasai! Joe Sensei.

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!
