Learning Japanese

皆さんはこんにちわね＾＿＾　Hello everybody!

私は始め日本語勉強します。It's my first time in learning Japanese.

I hope there isn't anything wrong with my sentences. Anyway, I've taken Japanese as an extra subject for my minor. It's kinda attaching and I'm getting more and more interested/ motivated to learn more and to learn faster!

There's the down side of it of course. I'm not learning as fast as I've planned but I'm glad I've spend this evening on this very cute couple youtube's channel. They're a Japanese/American couple and I enjoyed watching every video they made!

They have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and of course I'd recommend you to watch their youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/MyHusbandisJapanese とてもいいです！

Well of course sharing is caring, I'm glad Rachel made this video on HOW TO LEARN JAPANESE ONLINE. Of course we all know online is the best and cheapest way to learn but it's even better if you have guides and the links/routes to it!

SO HERE GOES! This is the Video that definitely helped me A LOT.

And here'd be the desciption from the video she made. All the best in learning Japanese yo!
