I don't know if this was covered somewhere else but I couldn't find anything like this so I'm posting here.
First, how many of us are using the podcasts because we're on the go or mulit-tasking? I listen from work so I get to squeeze in 6-8 hours a day. I listen to tracks back to back and over and over.
I hit a wall though, I realized that now I need to step it up if I want to do more than remember the survival phrases. I'm around beginner lessons 30 so there's lots of things to learn that have a lot exploring to do. Locations, family, food, requests...
So in the spirit of trying to get more practice done, who wants to trade emails? I'm in the process of installing Japanese fonts and would like to try to start witting to people and would like to start having conversations in Japanese.
I also have a stickam account if you want to try video conferencing!
