Been posting on this subreddit for several years now. I finally went to Japan last month for 1 month and I came back on September 1st. I will be returning to Japan again in November but goal is to greatly improve my Japanese communication skills before going back.
One thing I wished I did was practice speaking Japanese more. Of course being surrounded by Japanese people allowed me to just passively listen. I’ve been learning for a long time but that does not much listening or speaking practice.
I hardly ever watch any content in Japanese but for this challenge I will change that. I’d say my current speaking and listening skills is beginner so it’s a great start.

While I was in Japan, I became close with someone and she is also learning english and she agreed to teach me Japanese. I have been out of Japan since September 1st but we text daily. We decided to set up daily calls starting from September 25th.
We will use these calls to improve my Japanese speaking and listening skills. As i’m a beginner, I figured maybe I should record my progress and check in again the same day next month to see how much someone can improve with consistent day to day speaking and listening.
If you are interested, I will upload each video on this Youtube Channel:

As well as calling each day, I will make a commitment to watch Japanese content and learn new kanji daily.

I’d ask the teacher if it’s okay to share first.
Have you asked them?
It’s the teacher you should be asking, not us.
I would definitely be interested in watching it, but please make sure that the teacher is completely ok with it being recorded and shared.
please tell us if you asked or not your teacher 🙏🏽
