You have no idea how excited i am right now. Finally, my long-awaited dream is about to come true!! i will be going to my dreamland; the Land of the Rising Sun, the Global Kawaii Capital, the quirky haven we all call Japan!!! :)
I will be flying off to Japan next month and I realized this leaves me more or less a month to improve my Nihonggo. I had been always listening to podcasts and had started learning the basic Kanjis. However, I want to know how i could progress more. Do you have any tips on what I should learn first? like, all those words that a foreigner might need when he or she steps in Narita Airport.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Hello Michelle,
reading your message reminds me of my first time in Japan in 1989! I was excited like you!
My recommendation: study Hiragana, mostly to read, because train station names are also written in Hiragana and this lets you understand where you are going.
Have a great time!
Congratulations! I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan! :D I want to go there as well that's why I'm studying hard to learn Japanese. Please do share your experience! Have fun!
Ang saya say naman! ^^, Congratz sana ako din balang araw

i hope you enjoy your time in Japan :)
I am so happy for you, Michelle.
I have never been to Japan, but I have read a lot about it.
I am sure that you will love it.
I hear that Kyoto, for example, is an incredibly beautiful city.
And I am sure that you will be impressed by how clean and orderly everything is.
Have fun!
