TikTok Live - in progress

Hi everyone,

This's is Masa.

How are you?
How's studying going?

If you have seen my previous posts here and at https://www.tiktok.com/@asaolanguageschool, you know how dismally I failed to offer my first live streaming on TikTok...
Apparently you need at least 50 followers to go on live, so I'll keep coming up with ideas and posting til I reach it :)
Wish me luck please!

Our very first event of this year is coming up on Sunday the 11th of February. If you happen to be available in Tokyo, please join us :) It's going to be a lot of fun as we are trying a Mochi Pounding!
It's a traditional way of celebrating the beginning of a new year in Japan and it is quite a rare opportunity these days to actually pound. It requires a few preparations to make it happen so if you have some free time, do pop in please :)
We did this 3 and a half years ago before covid hit and it was very successful. It's going to be a lot of fun again so don't miss it!

Looking forward to seeing you!

Hi everyone,

How are you?

This is Masa :)

Did you get the JLPT result?

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

Cultural / Social Activity in February 2024

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 :)

Focus - 2

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 :)
