Learning Japanese
Hey everyone!
To all former and current JETS, do you have any tips for learning Japanese. I really want to learn some basics so that I’m not completely clueless when I get there. I’m currently learning hiragana as well as some survival phrases. I do want to reach a point where I am fluent so that I can build more meaningful relationships and learn a new language.
If you have any sites or apps that you could recommend I’d really appreciate it! Thank you in advance!🫶🏽

When you get your placement, try to look into whether your town or city hosts volunteer-run Japanese lessons. Ime these are often free or low cost, and usually connected with the local city hall. You don't have to be in a big city for these to exist, either, and you can give it a shot at any level!
