Japanese

Learning Japanese can provide you with many advantages. For me, I wanted to associate it with my interests to make it more engaging. If something is interesting and relevant, learning becomes easier. Therefore, I decided to start by learning how to count in Japanese. As a martial arts student learning karate, I use many Japanese words.

My first learning objective.

First and foremost, I want to learn Japanese numbers—to read, write, and speak them with the correct accents.

Are you keen to learn numbers with me? Please continue reading.

After I decided to learn many languages, I was exploring multiple strategies. There is no alternative to learn from a human. I followed an individual class from a polyglot prodigy. You may curious to know his name. Before I reveal. Do some search in Google. If you can find his name. Please put in the comments.
