Help! New Japanese student!

Hi hi!! I'm a very beginner student trying to learn Japanese for fun and travel. I take online courses at my online school, and I am Japanese 1. I'm struggling a lot with learning how to frame sentences, particles, and honorifics. I've fallen behind in my studies, and not much is helping me, I've also been lacking in my pronunciation due to my class not having much availability for listening to the pre-framed sentences.

My teacher and I both agree that I can be in a better spot if I were to better under sentence structure. After which I can go from there and focus more on my pronunciation. If there is anyone that is advanced or is in the same spot that wouldnt mind helping me, -or learning along side with me- please please please do so!! I'm looking for any help!

some details that I feel might be relevant is that I'm a high school junior, we've learned introductions, describing words, family titles (for both your and my family), hobbies / interests, and a few other more basic things like the difference between masu masen, 1-12, and the time (1-12). Now, because I'm behind in my studies my other classmates are working on school life (like, ALL about it. Subjects, homework, teachers, tests, quizzes, etc.) And they just started learningabouth physical health. I meet with my teacher of ten and I'm going to try to catch back up with my class by using a source she calls the 'cafe.' It's where students and other Japanese teachers meet. But I want to be able to be on better track with my classmates, as I know its going to be hard to catch up.

So if anyone would like to help tutor/study buddy or knows anything sites where I can find extra help I'd be so over the moon!! Thank you :'))

What's the best way to learn Japanese? Doesn't have to easy but a good way.

I don't care if its hard as there is no easy path to learning a language so what's the best way? Obviously I am asking here as I can't afford a professional teacher currently so I'd like some online resources and tutorials

‼️HISTORY PROJECT HELP OLD JAPANESE

Hello!

I am a 16 year old student in Singapore, and I need help in the translation of a Declassified World War II Japanese Military Document for a History Project.

We are working to find out whether or not Truman’s decision to drop the bombs on Japan was justified using primary sources, and in my research, I have discovered this invaluable document that may provide me much insight.

However, after contacting various Japanese friends of mine, I discovered that the document was written entirely in old Japanese, a language so obsolete that even his own grandmother was unable to read it.

I was hoping that someone here might be able to help provide me some insights as to the contents of the document and the real reasons why the Japanese surrendered as mentioned inside.

Mentioned document: Interpellation on Measures to be Taken by the Government to Clarify the Causes Leading the Unfavorable End of the Great East Asian War and Assessing Responsibility(larger 1-42) | Modern Japan in archives

If you are able to translate it to English (and would like payment), do pm me/comment and we can go from there.

Thank you!

Best Japanese Language Exchange Meetup?

Hello! I'll be traveling to Tokyo in about 1.5 weeks and I'm interested in attending a language exchange meetup so that I can practice speaking Japanese. I've read some mixed things about them, mostly saying how people speak mainly English, so for anyone who's attended one I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'd consider myself to be an advanced beginner, though I'm in dire need of conversation practice lol.

The 3 I've been considering are these, but I most likely can only attend one:

- "Welcome Tokyo" language exchange in Shibuya

- English-Only Cafe meetup - (that's the name of the cafe btw)

- Cultural & Language Exchange in Asakusa

Any insight would be so helpful, thank you in advance!

Offering Japanese, looking for Japanese

Looking for a language exchange partner but finding it tough ? Good news ! You don't have to, i did it for you I’ve created a small Discord server focused on practicing Japanese only. It will only have 15 members, because i think a intimate server is better. You will have chance to practice with topic discussions, games like Taboo, or even voice calls.

Since community is important to me, we'll also have chill discussions to get to know each other, just like a group of friends.

Important : Because the server is only focus on practicing, you should have an intermediate level of Japanese and be comfortable holding simple conversations

Sounds interesting to you? Leave a comment and i will dm you

Sharing Everything I've learned in 3 years of my french studies(A1and A2)

Hi everyone! Over the past three years, I’ve been learning French and reached a B1 level. Along the way, I’ve explored A1 and A2 resources extensively—books, podcasts, YouTube channels, and more. To make the most of this knowledge and help others, I’ve decided to start regular learning sessions for A1 and A2 French learners.

These sessions will run Monday to Friday in small groups, and there are two time slots to choose from: 🕓 4:00–5:00 PM IST 🕕 6:00–7:00 PM IST

To keep things accessible, I’m offering these structured sessions at:

₹3,000/month for A1 learners

₹3,500/month for A2 learners

If you’re unsure whether this is for you, I’m hosting three free demo sessions from 1st to 3rd January to give you a feel for the format and content.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to reach out or DM me. Looking forward to learning and growing together!
