Re-learning Japanese can be funny as hell. Let's do this MY WAY

    I am not trying to be another Japanese guru wanna-be in the internet, on the contrary, I am a learner who wants to put myself out there and clear my thoughts while writing and documenting myself in this RE-learning journey.... Why relearning you say?

    Because about 6 years ago, dumb bravery had me hopping on a plane to Japan to study Japanese. I was in one year program that would teach me Japanese in levels in a fast paced environment. We were given choices as to how we would want to learn and customize our experience at school. I chose to have a part time job while studying having thoughts that I would just magically absorb the Japanese around me and be able to write, read, and speak it.... But I was dead wrong. 

    Japanese was one of the hardest languages I have studied, not like I have studied a lot of languages... But you know, their writing system alone has three variations, Hiragana, Katakana and the dreaded Kanji. It's also one of the languages that English natives are having a hard time to learn, because the grammar points are complete opposites. But with all the not-so-good points of this language, it's one of the best and most interesting one out there. A lot of words that cannot be translated in different languages, words that have numerous meanings... Only natives and fluent speakers can detect. A language rich in culture and a challenge for every learner out there.  

    I want to relearn it because, I already started it... Plus, it's a way to be closer to my hobbies. I want to learn it again to understand the things I like better. I am an Otaku, and learning Japanese through my hobbies seems like a fun way to go. I hope no matter how many times my brain rejects the basics, and information I already know... I hope I can get pass through my goals in relearning this beautiful language. This blog is a simple diary like documentation if I would succeed or not. My goal is not to pass the JLPT... It's way beyond that. I want to peek through the cracks of the language barrier wall, and make my life a lot easier here in Japan. 

    I am already living the dream life I wanted, I just have to level things up so I can enjoy this experience to the fullest. Wish me luck.
