I’m almost 40 years old and I feel like I can’t speak Japanese for the rest of my life.
I’m studying Japanese, but I can’t speak it at all.
I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to speak it.
Have you ever thought that you may never be able to speak Japanese?
At the age of 29, I said goodbye to the fact that I could not speak English at all.
Even though I was studying English,
even a simple 5-minute conversation was stressful and I couldn’t speak properly.
My pronunciation is also absolutely wrong.
My grammar is also definitely wrong.
How did I get out of this nightmare?
My daughter’s growth was the main message.
I have a 5-year-old daughter.
She can speak Japanese, English, and Greek at the same time.
She is now able to speak three languages
and will start learning German and French next year.
You may think that because they are children, they can learn.
You may think that I am too late to start learning Japanese.
However, I did not think so.
I thought that I should simply learn as children do.
In other words.
No grammar study,
no writing study,
no vocabulary study.
How do they learn?
They repeat the same phrases every day.
To eat, to sleep, to go out, to play…
They learn from the phrases they need.
By repeating the same phrases every day,
you will master the pronunciation and how to use them.
Gradually, you will grow from a baby who could not speak at all to a native speaker.
On the other hand, how do adults study?
Learn difficult grammar…
difficult words…
and difficult essays…
Tomorrow, they won’t remember anything.
It’s not fun,
and it’s tiring,
so we don’t repeat the same lesson every day,
and
we forget more and more.
Children and adults have different brains, of course.
But that doesn’t mean that adults can’t learn.
As long as they learn how to study properly, they can learn.
If you learn how to study well, you can learn for the rest of your life.
Of course, the day will come.
You will be able to speak Japanese like a native speaker.
Let’s graduate from the study methods
that don’t produce results and lower motivation,
and learn how to get results for sure.
If you have just 10 minutes to study every day.
We are here to support you.
