More writing does not make you a better writer - only reading does that. But writing can help thinking, problem solving and make you smarter. The method is not  ChatGPT …. It is revision.

@mattvsjapan Translating between Japanese and English drives me insane. These languages are culturally totally alien to each other, and so much gets lost in translation. That said, I prefer Murakami in English , probably because his Japanese makes everything sound so in-Japanese.

[Nobumi Kobayashi @NobbyKLondon]

@mattvsjapan Takeshi Kotano was doing that back in the 80s too. No one thought twice about that back then, but now?

[Nobumi Kobayashi @NobbyKLondon]

@skrashen @ResearchGate Forced reading worked for me too. I had to read many English books, including 1984 by George Orwell, for the International Baccalaureate. Having to pass the exams worked for me. I now consider myself fully bilingual in English and Japanese, and reading is the no.1 reason.

[Nobumi Kobayashi @NobbyKLondon]

@mattvsjapan I live in the U.K. and must say I miss Japanese pens! I still buy the uniball eye, paying extortionate prices! 🙄

[Nobumi Kobayashi @NobbyKLondon]

@mattvsjapan They are at work. Japanese people don’t chat away while on duty. I know they’re only getting paid a pittance, but they are still totally aware of being monitored through the CCTV, etc.

[Nobumi Kobayashi @NobbyKLondon]

@mattvsjapan I’m Japanese and I seriously believe very few people there have ‘ikigai’. I live elsewhere now, but don’t ask me if I have it- that way madness lies! 😆

[Nobumi Kobayashi @NobbyKLondon]

@tokini_andy @JEverettLearned Written and spoken Japanese are two different things. So, if you want to learn written Japanese, that may be one way of approaching it. As a visual learner, it won’t work for me: it’ll be a total waste of my time.

[Nobumi Kobayashi @NobbyKLondon]

@LanguageVlogs @mattvsjapan I don’t think you should try to learn languages without context. If you’re only using it to prepare for language proficiency tests, that’s another story. Passing them doesn’t necessarily mean you are fluent, but you can put it down on your CV.

[Nobumi Kobayashi @NobbyKLondon]

@mattvsjapan Say No to Duolingo! Why do you have to use it if you can read authentic texts?!

[Snow Monkey And Bee @SnowMonkeyBee]

Conventional methods don't teach Spoken Japanese. Snow Monkey and Bee help students who want to improve their spoken/conversational Japanese. https://t.co/SibHpZl2W4 via @FacebookWatch
