FAQ Section
There is a new FAQ page up. Feel free to give it a look, it might save you having to send an email and wait for a reply. Of course, if your specific question is not answered, feel free to ask! When this site first started last year, I was getting these questions for the first time, so I can’t say they were “frequent”. Now, thanks to people reading and asking, I can!
I don't know, bro. I don't know if you're man enough to donate to AJATT. I mean, you can try...to click that button down there and follow the instructions, but...I dunno...

Hello! I clicked on a link to this site through rainier’s tumblr (http://rainier.tumblr.com) and she was so impressed by your thoughts on language that I came back. I’m a linguistics major, and I’ve been taking French for the past three years. I’m around a year 6, if that’s quantifiable. To be honest, I’ve never applied myself to French in a way that was inconvenient to me, and I can see the consequences. I can think to myself in French, but I almost never used to and was convinced I “sucked at languages” which was rather disheartening because I am fascinated by them (hence the major).
I am planning to take Korean in the fall, and I literally stopped listening to English music two weeks ago. I do listen to it occasionally (because it’s hard to replace favourite artists, definitely) but when I turn on music, I reference my ever-growing kpop playlist. To some extent, it’s providing an immersion environment that I unconsciously absorb as I’m on the computer.
I really love your commentary on learning languages, and I want to learn Korean well as I am Korean by heritage, and would deeply appreciate being able to speak to my grandparents. I’m pretty sure I’m going to force my parents to talk to me in Korean this summer.
So thank you for your site, despite the fact that it’s for Japanese. You’re hitting all the right nails everywhere and I will continue reading what I can. Do you know of any Korean sites that are similar to yours? Over the years, perhaps you’ve heard of Korean sites with similar resources or methods.
Once again, thank you!
