Another user in this sub was asking for music recommendations and I dropped some for them and that got me in the mood to revisit some of the songs I recommended.
Particularly
君の好きなうた by UVERWorld and
ほうき星 by Younha
And Spotify has lyrics for these songs written in Japanese, and I discovered that I’ve gotten comfortable enough reading hiragana that, while there were COUNTLESS Kanji that I didn’t recognize, and I was only able to pick out a few words and phrases that I knew the meaning of, I could ACTUALLY follow along.
I just wanted to share, and encourage anyone learning Japanese that progress can feel slow, but you should always appreciate little signs that you’re improving. Happy learning!
