Hi everyone,

How are you?

This is Masa :)

Did you get the JLPT result?

I've just posted my thoughts about JLPT on Patreon.

I'm therefore going to touch on Japanese Noun Modification in a TikTok live at 18:15 tomorrow on Wed 24 January.

See you then!

Hi everyone

How are you?
How's the beginning of the year been treating you so far?

Just to give you a heads-up, we are preparing for our first Cultural / Social Activity of the year at the moment.

It's going to be a Mochitsukitaikai like the one that we did in February 2020.

This was the very last in person event that we had before the COVID pandemic hit. 

We are fixing a venue, the tools, e.g. a usu, a kine, a steamer, sticky rice, etc, drinks at the moment. 

It's kind of a rare opportunity to experience Mochi pounding, so you cannot miss it :)

It's going to be on Sunday the 11th of February!

I hope you can make it :)

Hi everyone, 

How are you?

I've been looking into the platforms for live streaming. We have some choices. There are YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Twitch and it is hard to choose which one. 

When Yuka sensei ran a quesionnaire on Discord, I think the everybody's choice was YouTube...

But, Twitch has an integration with Discord. I have created an account https://www.twitch.tv/masahiko_kitaya_asao

Let me play with it a little and see how it works. This choice could be the best choice for everybody on Discord.

Will follow up on this :)

Hi everyone,

This is Masa.

How are you?
How's your winter break going?
I hope you are having fun :)

I have taken a moment to think through what I should focus on first in 2024.

Setting priorities of the day became an essential daily routine for me 8 months ago when I became a father.

In 2024, I will first try live streaming on YouTube.

I will give it a go because so I could potentially support more people.
Each streaming can be as long as 60 minutes, in English or a mix of English and Japanese, once a week. 
I will welcome individual requests and questions from the viewers at the beginning and then move on to work a grammar point together with the viewers.
I should probably start with N4 as it covers N5 and also teaches the foundation of Japanese grammar before you move onto N3.

I hope this helps you to have further insights into Japanese language and culture and to rediscover the joy of language acquisition :)

Let me talk to Yuka sensei to fix the details and I will make an announcement :)

See you next year!
