Learning a New Language My First Steps

So far I have only done a few things to start. I have a full time job and some other side hustles working with graphics. So time learning a new language is limited. I have some notebooks ready to use for the designated Languages I want to try. I went on pinterest and printed out different things in each language I am interested in, that way I can practice writing some words or alphabet.

I started with Japanese I feel like it will be a good Challenge. Japanese has 3 writing systems. Hirigana, Katakana and Kanji. So I will try one at a time. As I get more interested in learning the more I do. It's good to practice, practice, practice especially the alphabet. If the languange you are studying is new to you, look up some YouTube videos of people speaking that language to get the pronunciation, Tone, accent. I have a friend that their family is from Puerto Rico. One of the family members lived in Alabama, they said it was funny listening to the kids speak spanish with a southern accent.

I'm sure Japanese will take quite a while Because I do not have 5 hours a day to focus on it. Try to learn what you can about the culture and history of the language you are learning. I believe that learning about the culture helps you in your Language learning journey. Learning Japanese will be hard for some people but not everyone and did you know that Japanese has different ways of speaking? But you don't need to even try to learn this until much later. It's like we do in English. You would speak differently to your friend than you would to your parents and you would speak differently to your boss than you would your parents.

Next blog post I'm going to talk about a Language I learned about recently. You'll get a good laugh on how I found out about this Language. Hope you come back to check it out. As always leave a comment about what language you would like to learn. If you have a Language you want me to research and talk about let me know what it is and I'lln see what I can do! Until next time I leave you with this...
