last december i took a two week vacation to tokyo. for some time, i had been interested in japanese culture; it is so different than what i was used to. everything i was exposed to was so unusual and quirky. i enjoyed the seemingly random commercials and tv shows i saw on youtube. so i went, without knowing the language.

the best part of my trip was spending time with my host family who treated me so well even though i could only talk to them through a bilingual friend. i want to learn japanese so that i can revisit my host family and personally thank them for their hospitality.

How cool that you have already been to Japan. :) Learning Japanese to speak to your host family is an awesome goal. Much luck with that!

Aww, I’m jealous by the fact you’ve already been to Japan!
However, I think it’s awesome that by going to Japan that channeled your interest to learn the Japanese language. I also think that going to personally thank your host family for their hospitality is a really sweet reason!

What was it like living with your host family? I’d love to be able to stay with a host family whilst staying in Japan for a little bit but I fear how the host family are and the costs of everything, etc. I just want to hear your experience as I know everything is different for everyone.

Good luck learning Japanese!
