also i know a lot of people keep asking about my job but i still havent decided how much i want to share about it since ive always kept my βprofessionalβ life separate so iβll just surprise you in a vlog or something soon π€

the fact that my drawer is partially open the entire video is actually sending me into a spiral π

I remember the early days of studying Japanese where I felt like "I can ask the question, but I can't understand the answer!" The first time I was here, I was far shyer and more hesitant to speak, always afraid I'd make a mistake, but this time I'm more chill, I know my Japanese isn't very good, but I'm just like, who cares, just talk! It's made life a lot easier.

Although I'll never live in Japan, it's interesting to learn about what people I follow online have to deal with. You presented a lot of information clearly and it was well edited. Thanks for doing this, Allison. It was fun.
-
3 years is accurate for learning Japanese if you are studying around 2 hours day. Using iTalki after the first year will increase your acquisition rate.
-
Canβt get over the fact that youβre almost at 40,000 subscribers!! Iβve been here since 12,000 so itβs blowing my mind. Thank you for answering all of our many many questions!
-
I absolutely love these videos. It's so interesting to hear about the details of actually living there, especially since you are from the U.S. I visited Japan in March and I knew I would absolutely love it. Thank you for posting and I always look forward to hearing about your life in Japan.

Brilliant video Allison, itβs great to get views of someone who has lived and immersed themselves into life in another country. It was very interesting to hear that quite a few things compare to England/UK. Thank you for continuing to share your experiences with us and best wishes to you

I love how non-judgmental you are! It's the reality that people who don't learn languages easily might still enjoy living in Japan. They could still be a kind friend. I did learn Japanese but I wish I had been less judgemental than I was of expats who did not. I could have had more friends.
-
Thank you so much for so much good info! It's super interesting to keep track of how things are changing.
-
I missed these style of videos, I think this is really your channels bread and butter. Keep it up.

Thatβs a great video, Miss Allison, sharing your thoughts aspects towards living in Japan.

My partner and I love watching all of your videos in preparation for our own trip (and eventual move) to Japan, but this one felt especially like sitting down with a knowledgeable friend and chatting about life! We're also from Florida, so your specific insight is so valuable to us ππ₯Ί Thank you for all of the work you put into your videos!
