桜梅桃李 (ō-bai-tō-ri) “never compare yourself to others”

This yo-ji-juku-go (Japanese 4-character idiom) is comprised of 4 beloved Japanese trees. They are:

桜 = cherry (sakura)

梅 = apricot (ume)

桃 = peach (momo)

李 = plum (sumomo)

桜 (sakura) are of course the cherry blossom trees famous for blooming spectacularly and incredibly briefly once a year, usually in April. Sakura trees in full bloom is an annual event, and people go to their local park to see them, take photos, and have picnics underneath them. It's such a big deal that it's reported on the weather forecast, with reporters commenting on how quickly the "sakura front" is moving northwards across the country.

梅 (ume) is the "ume" in umeshu! This is a sweet liqueur which is made from soaking ume in sake. It tastes amazing, and is one of the things I miss most about Japan. Japanese learners will no doubt recognise "ume" as usually being translated as "plum", however it is technically closer to the Western apricot.

桃 (momo) is one of the best-loved fruits in Japan. There is even a fairy story called "Momo-taro" about a little boy who comes from inside a peach. He grows up to be a great hero, of course, and saves everyone from a demon. "Momo" is also a fairly common girls' name.

李 (sumomo) are known as "Japanese plums" or "Asian plums". The trees are famous for their delicate white flowers. They usually bloom just before the sakura. Whilst not as famous or as showy as sakura, they are well-loved for their elegance, and for being a sign of spring.

Each of these beloved trees blooms in its own time and in its own unique way :)

こんにちは、みんな！ (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

I'm Timi, a 27-year-old lady from the United Arab Emirates. Welcome to my blog where I'll be sharing my journey of learning Japanese as an Arabic speaker.

I've always been fascinated by Japanese history, language, and media. That's why I've set an exciting goal for myself: to pass the JLPT N5 exam this December! 🎌☆

In this blog, I'll be sharing my study progress, my favorite songs and any media i come across for my immersion. So whether it's teaching myself kanji, grammar, or practicing conversation skills, I'll be writing about it all. I hope my journey can inspire and help other language learners too! ❤

Join me as I navigate this challenging yet rewarding path to achieving my language goals. Let's support each other and make learning fun! よろしくお願いします！

In this Video, we will discuss the technique of shadowing Japanese. Shadowing is a method of language learning where you listen to a native speaker and repeat what they say immediately after they say it. This technique helps you improve your pronunciation, listening skills, and speaking fluency. Unlike traditional textbooks, this video provides you with the opportunity to practice listening and speaking with many different Japanese voices. By practicing shadowing with this video, you can learn and use Japanese more quickly and naturally. Here are some tips for practicing shadowing Japanese: 1. Listen carefully to each sentence. 2. Repeat the sentence immediately after it is spoken. 3. Try to match the pronunciation and intonation of the native speaker. 4. Practice each sentence multiple times until you feel comfortable with it. 5. Move on to the next sentence only after you feel confident with the previous one. This video is perfect for those who have limited time for learning. By practicing shadowing Japanese, you can improve your pronunciation and listening skills in a short amount of time. Moreover, this technique helps you to speak Japanese more naturally and confidently. In conclusion, if you want to improve your Japanese language skills, then shadowing is a great technique to try. With this video, you can practice listening and speaking with many different Japanese voices and improve your fluency in no time. So, what are you waiting for? Let's start shadowing Japanese today!

My former cardiologist certainly threw fits like a 4-year-old but I'd be really concerned if a 4-year-old walked in for my EKG LOL

Some of the sentences in Duolingo are really funny for no reason!

Learning Japanese is NOT for the weak.

(P.S, I'll type something in Japanese tomorrow and see it can last for some days.)

みなさん、こんにちは！ヽ(>∀<☆)ノ

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed studying alone. I'm not sure if the way im going about it is right.(>_<)

I saw many people say the immersion method is a good way to go about it so I'm pushing myself to pick up anime and hopefully go back to my Japanese morning shows 朝ドラ. have you watched any? im such a fan of the NHK asadoras for example とと姉ちゃんtoto neechan basically anything that Mitsuki Takahata is in im obsessed over.(･ω<)☆ infact i should post pictures of some of the japanese TV magazines i own as personal "merch" since i have no way of showing how much i love japanese tv the way Kdramas have soundtrack boxes and merch.

I've been practicing my カタカナ by writing it repeatedly in my notebook.

Kanji has always worried me, but I'm trying to look at more kanji words instead of only relying on the hiragana to get used to them. Little by little, I'm starting to get the hang of improving my handwriting skills even if im not completely memorizing difficult words.

I've also been listening to a lot of old-school Japanese hip hop. It's helping with my listening skills and keeping me motivated. should i share some of my playlists? ��(^_^♪)

ありがとう！
