The reason why Lita is studying Spanish is because Lita is going to meet Nyacchii-san's mom again in the autumn of 2022. When I stayed at Nyacchii-san's house in 2018 I did not understand any Spanish. Nyacchii-san is Mexican and speaks Spanish ,English and Japanese, but Nyacchii-san's mom only speaks Spanish. It was very frustrating not being able to talk with her. I would like to talk with Nyacchii-san's mom a lot! (2022.06.05)

How to learn Japanese?

One Spanish lesson on Duolingo when I wake up in the morning, working while listening to Spanish songs, taking a walk or bath while listening to Spanish podcasts, watching Mexican TV dramas in Spanish while resting my arms, and practicing Spanish stories or reading aloud on Duolingo in bed before sleep.

In the morning, I mainly study English, so in the afternoon after the stream, I prioritize Spanish and sometimes German Duolingo lessons or YouTube videos for study time. Sometimes I find myself absorbed in it until dinner time.

I'm not very good at languages, native Japanese or otherwise, so learning is very slow. So I just have to keep working at it and keep going.

Spanish is not very popular in Japan. So, finding a way to learn it was very difficult at first. I didn't have any Japanese friends who were studying Spanish, so I had no one to ask questions to.

I'm currently focusing on Duolingo, but there are no courses for studying Spanish in Japanese. Fortunately, however, there is a lot of contents for studying Spanish in English. So I'm studying Spanish in English as much as I can on YouTube and whatever else I can find.

Often people ask me how to learn Japanese. But I don't know how I learned Japanese because I was born in Japan as a Japanese and grew up in Japanese. I tried several Japanese study apps, but I couldn't decide if they were good or not. It's obvious, isn't it? I believe that the level of difficulty of the language you want to learn will vary depending on your native language. It is better to ask it to non-Japanese native (your native language speakers as much as possible) who is learning Japanese.

In the meantime, why don't you try anything you can find on YouTube or touch apps (most language learning apps are basically have free trial)? If you have time to ask how to learn Japanese, maybe you can learn one hiragana or two. You see, I'm studying English even as I type this, ¡jajaja! Thank you for your interest in Japanese. Good luck!!!
