When I talk to my friends I talk with as best a “Japanese accent” as I can because I want to pronounce the words the way they are supposed to be pronounced. However, when I speak with my friends who speak Japanese I revert to an obvious American accent and become completely unsure of everything I learned.

I guess that’s the reason I never learned Spanish (my father is from Mexico and my town is about 50% hispanic/latino). But I always felt that I would be pictured as mocking Spanish when I tried to learn it because of all the cognates that really are the English word with an “o” at the end. Anyways… I guess I too will have to find a way to get over the insecurities (^^)”

I want to thank Koichi over at Tofugu.com for writing this article, I found it difficult to just start studying, but he makes it sound so easy (which it actually is). [...]

but i really want to learn it! and i know that i cant through osmosis, though that would be freaking awesome if i could!! anywho, i really appreciate your blogs and vlogs cuz i've learned a lot from you and are using your resources. i did just randomly come across it as i was searching youtube for japanese lessons and your panda hat and the title “learn japanese while watching anime NOT!” really intrigued me and i havent gone back since. and i'm so glad that i havent! ive watched your koichiben vids as well and i really want to be able to understand that so i'm going to try to do some hard core studying!! (sorry this is soooo long! it wasnt intentional!! ^_^)
