Are there any Japanese learners here? a close friend decided to become a Youtuber weeks ago. I somehow wanted to help him grow some audiences and I don’t wanna see him become demotivated from the lack of views ☹

I have a Japanese friend who calls me every day from a different number in Texas. She’s always listening to music and I can’t tell what she’s saying. Crazy girl!

Tell her to text. Less of an accent that way…

(Hey, that’s what we suggest to my Japanese relatives)  
But come to think of it, if she keeps voice-calling you could Shazam her calls and discover some new bands.

ETA: The videos are how to write Kanji! I have favorite podcasts to learn to speak, so this’ll be an adventure!
