See title. I’ve been to quite a few local language meetups and saw lots of people IRL who are learning languages: wondering how are y’all doing too
For myself… learning French due to necessity. I am making progress, just veeery slow. I underestimated how difficult it would be (a lot of vocabs between English/French are similar… but the languages themselves are not!)
It just feels like any regular Meetup tbh. The Japanese one I’ve been going to obviously has a much higher proportion of ppl who are into, say, anime and manga (since it’s a group of ppl who willingly chose to learn Japanese without external motives), but other than that they feel like standard Meetup events
Japanese is not an easy language: good luck!
