Enough about the language itself though… Japan is a really beautiful place, and the culture is such an interesting feature I keep finding myself surprised at the more I learn about it. To live there though… It’ll be a MAJOR culture shock, I know that for sure. The idea itself is terrifying, but the fact that I’m pretty positive about doing it is even scarier… With the color of my skin, the texture of my hair, and just how I look in general… I would REALLY stick out in Japan, and that’s one of my biggest fears. I’d really have to put myself out there, because I’m learning the language, not so I can just get a translator to do all the talking for me… I’d love to take my family to japan, but at any given point in time if we EVER needed anything, I know I’ll be the only one who can speak up and ask for it, cause my parents don’t know even a LICK of Japanese 😅

But yeah… I’m really starting to think about it now, mostly because I graduate in less than 2 years.. And although it seems like a long time from now, this year has honestly flown by pretty quickly, believe it or not. So anyways…! Thanks for listening to me yabber! I LOVE Japan, their culture, their food, and just everything else that comes with the package… And I can’t wait to see it all up close in 2 years (if things are in our favor) Hope you guys like this drawing!~

How long had you been learning it to get to that point? 😂 I'm honestly surprised I haven't quit by now. I'm strangely committed.

I just looked back through my account and apparently I started 11 MONTHS AGO??? 😭 BRO I HAVE LEARNED NOTHINGGG

You mean Duolingo?? 🤣
