I realized I may have typed too much, so here is the gist of it. If you are a Japanese speaker who wants to improve their English, feel free to contact me. Language learning isn't a new concept for me. What I would consider quite the change-up is learning it by myself. I got interested in learning Japanese from a friend of mine. He seemed to have known a lot about it, and I figured if he could do it, so could I. During a very boring ending to my Spring Semester in 2017, I decided to go ahead and give it a shot. While I've taken some German in high school before, I was never really personally invested in it like I am Japanese. I would sit in class, do the bare minimum that was required to get an A, and then left it at that. I never tried to improve my speaking with natives, or listen to any of it at home. It was just something for school, and nothing more. Self learning has been a fair bit different. It's challenging, fairly intense, and gives me a fair amount of satisfaction when I can hear or read something, and even get a glimpse at what the idea of the sentence might be about. My Japanese is currently terrible at the moment, so I'm happy to be mostly helping out with your English while asking for little bits of knowledge from you. While my attitude in high school was fairly apathetic towards reaping any outside benefits of learning a language, I'm much more curious about other languages now.
