It's fine that you guys think that using romaji is not a good way to start learning Japanese, but hear me out. Who's coming to my site to learn japanese?
So far, my lessons are for beginners. This means that they will likely not know hiragana 100% and using only hiragana might be too daunting. This leads to them giving up before they even tried.
Like someone before mentioned, you have to realize the target audience. If you guys want me to make more intermediate-advanced guides, then I will do that.
And no, I am not a Japanese teacher. I'm just a college student who does this on the side.
I did not learn Japanese formally, but I think I taught myself well.
And to the person who said they changed their speech to meet my foreigner needs: They talk to each other like that when the conversation has nothing to do with me. I know how to recognize cultural awareness in speech.
little bit more about myself:
I've also been to Taiwan for a summer to learn Chinese. I learn languages as a hobby. I'm of Korean descent. I like cheese on everything. I enjoy karaoke.
You guys are a tough crowd :/ I received criticism more than anything, but I don't mind. Feel free to ask a question at my site if you really want to test my knowledge in Japanese that much.
I'll see you there!
