Hi everyone!

I make super-short (about 2-minute) anime-song–style videos to help people learn Japanese in a fun, low-stress way. A while ago, an anime-loving friend of mine started studying Japanese but gave up after hitting a huge wall—and I’ve always felt bad that I couldn’t help. Now I’d like to turn real learners’ pain points into bite-sized lessons so others don’t quit, too.

I’d really appreciate your input!

A few prompts to get the conversation going:

  1. What was the single hardest thing for you at the very beginning? (particles, kanji, listening, motivation, etc.)
  2. How did you eventually get past that hurdle—or are you still wrestling with it?
  3. Is there any resource or approach you wish had existed back then?

Your stories will help me create a free, ad-free video series for fellow learners. Thanks a ton for sharing—can’t wait to read your experiences! 🙏
