Learning Japanese since about a year now. This language is so beautiful. It’s also a ton of work.
I can really recommend jpop to, I’ve been hearing jpop almost Mon stop since a while now.
That feeling when you understand the cryptic hieroglyphics that are kanji, and stumble upon native material which can actually be read. It’s just something else.
For me, where as English is something written on a napkin, Japanese is a carefully drawn picture (kanji) on a fine letter.
It’s also great if you like slapping words together to make new ones (I’m a German, so of course I like that)
