Writing is great for your speaking, but it's not necessary! What's great about writing is that it gives you a way to LOOK at YOUR words. To see how things really are. Speech-to-text applications or many AI programs allow you SEE the words you SAY. That is so helpful.

It also gives you a way to practice WITHOUT getting feedback - which has some real benefits.

Nihongo Short Story by Noriko

春はもうすぐ？

Un tour privado de 9 días, 5 provincias, 1882 Km, 24 lugares, pueblos y ciudades pero sobre todo, un viaje que deja la sensación de realmente visitar España y no “Spain”.
David y Marcia, dos personas de los EE.UU. muy curiosas por naturaleza y a lo que se añadía que era su primera visita a mi país, han sido dos compañeros de aventuras excelentes. Sí, me encanta resaltar lo de compañeros porque así ha sido, los tres diseñábamos los itinerarios (en base a mis sugerencias previas) y el “quorum” era siempre total. Durante las semanas previas a nuestro viaje estuvimos haciendo video-llamadas y tuvimos muchos correos comunicándonos para conocernos mejor y sobre todo, conocer sus curiosidades e intereses principales. Es decir, saber lo que sí y lo que no les gustaba.
