Someone who could help me with my japanese?
Hi! Quick summary: I‘ve been learning japanese for about 2 years now. For the past year I have been trying to make some japanese “friends“ or at least find someone who can help me with vocab, speaking and general daily conversations. I‘ve used apps like HelloTalk, Tandem, etc. but am always left ghosted (even by serious learners). Now I am wondering if there are some japanese people on here willing to help me. Maybe someone knows a place where I could look for some help. I‘ve already thought about paying for lessons on some sites, but I‘d like to save the money and find some kind souls to help me out. Most important to me is finding people that will reply and not also ghost me after some days. We don‘t have to become friends if you don‘t want to, I really just want reliable help and not having to message different people every second day or so.
I would rate my japanese level (in terms of grammar and understanding) at almost N4, though I am missing a lot of the N5 vocab (not knowing much vocab is my biggest problem).
In return for your help I can offer to help you with learning German or English.
Lastly I feel like I have to let you know that I am rather shy and would need some time to get comfortable around new people, so please have patience with me.
My current goal is to be able to hold simple, daily conversations around August, as I‘m in Japan for vacation. I believe that if I could hold conversations easier than now I‘d probably benefit from talking to locals as that would boost my language learning quite a bit, but that still requires some preparation in the next months. I just don‘t want to stutter or sound like a toddler with my simple speaking.
