Languange barrier is a difficulty of communicating with other people with different nationality and languange. Many of us wants to break those barrier by learning different languages around the globe. So here are some tips and tricks base on my experience in learning nihongo.
I have been self studying nihongo for 3yrs now and I am still having hard time reading and understanding some of their words. So, in this article I will be sharing with you how will you learn nihongo the easy way and what to avoid during that process.
Interest - for me, I do love japan and their culture. I admire them so much to the point I wanted to learn their language, but when I get busy to other things I tend to forget that I am still studying nihongo. And as xfor those who want to learn, i recommend to keep your interest in learning their language even in other aspects. always set goal to achieve within the day/week. Because interest what keeps you going.
Discipline - It took me 3yrs but I still find it hard to read and understand nihongo, why? because I am lack of discipline. When I learned how to read and write katakana and hirana, I stopped studying, and I regret it. I continue studying when I am bored or I just want to. Discipline is one of the key to grow and to learn.
Passion - If you do not have Interest and Discipline, you will have a hard time keeping you passion. Remember, it you that will make it all happen. Learning new language is hard but if you keep your passion on it, nothing is impossible.
