I grew up learning English and Japanese at the same time as a child.

I was never officially taught the Japanese language in school. I learned through experience, TV shows, reading kids books, talking to my family to brush up on my Japanese. But what really did it was being literally thrown in the fire to fend for myself every summer attending a local Japanese elementary school. I never had a break in school, but that’s because it was fun learning through real-life experiences everyday!

I strongly believe reading and talking ALOUD is the best way to learn a language.

There was a period during college where I didn’t any speak Japanese at all, I felt I lost my speaking confidence and abilities. That’s why I chose to create children’s story books because we all need to start from zero. Don’t worry, I’ll try not to make it too boring!

Use your own voice like a muscle. Withdraw vocabulary like books from your library. Deposit grammar like cash in your bank account. Are you ready to learn?
