Whether it’s seeing majestic Mount Fuji from your window on a bullet train, eating your weight in Katsudon (a breaded and fried pork cutlet with egg over rice), or watching some cosplayers roam the streets of Tokyo’s Akihabara district: Japan is breathtaking, impressive, and unique. There’s nothing quite like it, and I mean this in the best way possible. Naturally, when you come back from the Land of the Rising Sun and want to tell everyone about what it was like, it’s often hard to find the right words. I can’t guarantee it, but maybe one or all of these 13 Japanese words without an English translation can help you make your travel adventures come to life. 1.

How to improve your written English: 7 tips

Buying a bus ticket, going to the doctor, finding an apartment, or just, you know, opening your mouth and having a regular conversation – most students of English are impatient to talk; you’re learning English to communicate, after all. But don’t forget that writing is another extremely important aspect of communication – even in the age of Snapchat and Instagram. To help you out, we‘ve put together seven super actionable tips for improving your written English. 1. Read, read, read Experiencing déjà vu? You’re not alone. “Read more” is so often suggested for better writing because it works!

I mean tandem language learning – when two people get together to practice languages: Person A practices language B with person B for 30 minutes, and person B practices language A with person A for the remainder of the hour. (I guess, they could technically do this on a bike, but let’s just focus on the languages for now.) Tandem works best if you take language classes at the same time – that way, you can use the time together to practice conversational skills and really put all of the theoretical knowledge to the test. Without wanting to rain on your parade: It’s probably not possible to learn a language only with tandeming, as you will usually only meet and talk for about an hour each week. But it’s a great way to complement language classes or to help retain your language skills after a study abroad trip. Benefit 1: Boost your langua...
