to get a feel for (something)
on the one hand; on the other hand
down to earth

みなさん、こんにちは！日本語の先生、けんです。
今日は、私がどうして英語の勉強をはじめたのかについてはなします。

Hi there! This is Ken, your Japanese teacher.
Today I am talking about why I started studying English.

You know, before you dive into any new structure of learning, it’s super important to ask all the WHYS. Be curious! Find out the reasons behind a grammatical rule, a sentence structure, or even the way a word is pronounced. Trust me, when you know the reasons why something is presented the way it is, it becomes so much easier to remember and use in conversation and writing.

Think of it like building a house. You need a solid foundation of bricks even though you might just see the pretty, colorful windows. Behind every beautiful house is a strong foundation of bricks, which once laid, cannot be removed. It’s the same with language. Once you know the reasons behind the rules, you’re stuck with them in a good way!

今日は日本の方言について話をしてみます。日本は山が多いので、特に方言が多いのではないかと思いますが、どう思いますか？
Today I talked about dialects in Japan. We have so many different dialects in Japan, but I think it's because we have so many mountains (73% of the land) in Japan.
