La Fontaine de sang

Listen to hear about how Japanese students spend their Februaries. Passing entrance exams and getting into college is extremely competitive. I’ll talk about my experience taking a lot of tests!

Crazy Japanese Culture

Intense Japanese Entrance Exam😱

Good Evening :D 


I support your language goal(s) and I am here for anyone who needs my help. I just feel upset when a student tells me that they hate how they sound when they speak. They often only look up to native speakers.

A native speaker is someone who had a head start and you are playing catch-up.

Enjoy the process and know that ALL of us (teachers) are proud of you!

Good luck everyone! 

PS; My personal goal is to start learning Japanese this year. The journey is going to be a long one and I hope I will take my own advice when the time comes.
