you should watch Haikyu! I mean, watching anime is fun and it helps with the language barrier. (ps sorry I can't help but recommend it as I liked it so much!) maybe you've watched it already. Anyway, good luck and enjoy your trip :)
Thank you so much for posting this! It was a much needed breakdown and encouragement when I get to the part of my Japanese learning. A little random, but have you ever dreamed in another language? When I was heavy into teaching myself Turkish, I had a dream that I had a full conversation with the couple in my dream; AND I UNDERSTOOD IT ALL! It was awesome. Thanks again for the great read.
Love this. I studied Japanese both in senior high school and at university for a year. Right now I'm incorporating Japanese characters in my fiction novels and it's reignited my relationship with Japanese in such a lovely way. A movie I suggest that is pretty slow, simple and very beautiful to watch in Japanese is My Happy Marriage (available for free to watch on YouTube) I also use https://nihongoclassroom.com/converter to convert back and forth between Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana and Romanji. The translation from Kanji to Hiragana and romanji is sooooo helpful when you're trying to read Japanese posts on social media or articles. That's the best service I know, all the other ones are crap. I also study Ikebanan and have been invested in Kimono culture for 15 years. I include a lot of Hanakotoba (花言葉), the symbolic and philosophical language of flowers used in Japan in my books too. (and in adjacent cultures like Vietnam, China and South Korea) Look forward to new posts from you about Japanese. I need all the refreshers I can get!
exciting
I'm sure you'll enjoy your trip to Japan with your Japanese! ;)

Thanks for the suggestion Ingrid!
I will gladly check it out :) I agree that watching anime/dramas in Japanese is probably the highest ROI thing you can do to learn the language.
Hope you have a good day🙌🏻
Thanks, you too 💕 If you want some more anime recos, let me know, I can share the ones I've watched.
