Mimbe Focus Change - Language Learning
So.. I have been thinking a lot about my future, self reflection, my current living situation here in Canada.
I think this will be an interesting post, as no one documents their language learning.
Going to Japan is always something I wanted to do, but it was all mental masturbation before.
Here are pictures of me on a Japanese-English forum when I was age 18, in 2016 -
Do Japanese girls like to interact with Gaijins (Foreigners) Cringe I know, slapping my head at 18 year old me.

These thoughts I have had in the back of my mind, of going to Japan, picking up women, and possibly living there has been dormant in the back of mind forever
I remember trying to learn the language before, and becoming quickly overwhelmed, having 0 guidance, no clue what to do
The furthest I got, was translating a bunch of English dating phrases like "are you single, do you speak English, what do you do for a living" etc etc, to Japanese
A lot of guys in this space have inspired me, motivated me to switch focus in being more useful of my other spare time, in conquering this language Manganiello Toast lacroix and the best for last colgate for mentoring me, giving me tips, helping me speak, write, and literally holding my hand in making me take the exact same steps he did to reach a top level of Japanese writing/speaking/understanding, and I can't thank them enough for showing me what's possible.
These are my first baby steps to my road to Japan/Language Learning Journey, even if it becomes a trip. I want to be able to stand my own, and have conversations and understand the language.
I have started learning Hiragana, the first Japanese Letter system
I am nearly done it now, and I will continue learning as per colgates teachings
Here are some examples of me using my new found knowledge, that I started on Friday.
View attachment 9 This was one of the first steps I took, showing the Japanese girl I had a date with, and saying her name in Japanese
View attachment 8 Some of the other Asia boys have started a Language Learning Hustle/Accountability telegram group, and I am there. I spam what I learn using the Japanese keyboard I installed on my Phone, from purely memory after I study the Hiragana
I also made my bumble use travel mode, to Japan. It was insane the kind of women I would get, I got a few contacts from Bumble->Line (Japanese whatsapp) Here is me saying some phrases, I don't have them memorized but I do this
View attachment 7 So I what I will do, is I see that Kisu contains Ki and Su, and I know that they are きす -> Kiss
Here is me spamming some of my new found Japanese speaking contacts (WAMAN) on my Line/HelloTalk/IG using my Japanese

The last one is quite funny to me, you can literally see me saying soon I will be speaking Japanese to you, and surely I did haha look at the time frames. It's fun/funny moments like these, that make language so funny and comical.
I am still hustling tinder in Canada, and self improving, but I am switching gears into taking language seriously, now that I know that what I thought was the impossible, is achievable.
Not much else to say, let's fucking get to it boys.
