I must say, for me the key is FIRST to learn to LISTEN to the language, to hear what it exactly sounds like, the pronountion,the "melody" of the language, THEN start to learn it. That is how you not only learn to speak it,but you also learn to pronounce it fluently.

@epicon6 I have experienced living in another country but not wanting very much to blend in with the culture and habits and people. I love, Love that country(Israel) but I came to the conclusion that I would love it more if I could get all my family and friends to move with me there! It's the country it self that I love. So I just keep visiting it, as a tourist! And same thing with Japan, some people fall in love with the country but not with the people or habits or byrocracy or food, and I think it is perfectly okay as long as we don't start to demand the people and culture to change, we have to go with the flow if we want to live there! Many people don't realize this,that you CAN love a country without actually liking what comes with it...

To belong to a minority is so nice and special in my opinnion. I love it and made sure my future children also would be mixed as I see it as a huge advantage. My children are now adults and very proud to be mixed, to have people ask them where they come from, it's a special feeling, whatever countries you are mixed between, to have little of this and little of that is something to be proud of! My only regret is that my kids never had the opportunity to learn their other language as children, now as an adult it'd be much harder. So please if you have mixed children be sure to teach them both languages, they learn easy and quick whatever language from when they are born, don't let them grow up beeing half whatever and not knowing the language.

@annajonske6566 aso learning to sing a foreign song just by listening, helps you alot to get a grip of the language, I was a teenager when I played an Italian song "ci sara'" over and over again, and learned it by heart,not knowing what the words meant😊I can still sing it today, and I have googeled a lot of the words just to get a grip of the song. Same with the Israeli song "hallelujah" sang by Milk&Honey, I learned it by heart with the pronouncions and twenty years later I learned Hebrew! Realized I have heard lots of sentences wrong but still pronounced them like as it was Hebrew!

I agree, but still if you look alot different, than the nativ people, you will not melt in in the same way as a person who looks like them, that's a fact.

English is my third language, I learned it as a child by listening to American popstars from my LP:s, writing the lyrics down, asking my mom to fill out the lyrics that I couldn't hear, her English was much better than mine, and of course watching American tv-series, like The little house on the prairie! You learn by listening, more than you think, at some point(around age 10-12)I just realized that I could speak English!

@HarryNicNicholas yes, I agree with you, but I still find it interesting how people of different religions live and get along in Japan, even though I'm not religious myself. I'm also not Japanese but still find Japan interesting!

Just to be clear; in Scandinavia we also always take our shoes off inside anyone's home!
