4時間のチャレンジ - 24hr Challenge
I want to challenge myself to speak Japanese for 24 hours.
私は自分自身に24時間だけ日本語で話すことに挑戦したい。
I know basic conversational skills and have noticed that I can understand conversation in small bursts. I even watched an entire episode of a Japanese kids show and actually understood a majority of it! I feel so proud to officially be able to do that! So to change up my study practice I am going to challenge myself to only speak in Japanese for twenty four hours! I live in a English only speaking home though so this is going to be quite the challenge for me.
I am going to write out the phrases that I know I tend to say on a daily. Please fix them if they are incorrect and also feel free to add more daily/common phrases around the house with friends and family!
