This article reminded me of how I tried and failed to learn Japanese many times in the past.
ReplyDeletePart of the problem was that I was always so busy that I didn't even have time to eat.
I also felt that I was too old and that you couldn't teach a dog new tricks.
To make it worse, I'm totally tone deaf and no language had ever stuck in my brain!
Finally, after a lot of disappointment and frustration, I found a way to learn Japanese so that it sticks to my brain like Krazy glue!
It only took a few minutes a day and was actually easier for an older person like me.
I'm now practicing my pronunciation so I can sound like a native when I go to Tokyo next year.
If you're wondering how I did it, you can see the website yourself right here:
