こんにちはみんなさん！
Hello everyone! In this book, I will be bringing you along on my journey to learn Japanese. I have been on and off studying for about a year now due to exams and stuff getting in the way,, but I'm beginning to really try and take it seriously and I am learning new things everyday about this phenomenal language. So, I decided to write this guide as both a way of benefitting my own studies and reviewing topics I've covered previously, and also to hopefully help others along the way!
Feel free to leave any questions you have in the comment section. I'll try my best to answer them! Likewise, please let me know if I make an error.
Anyway, without further adieu,,
いきましょう！ Let's go!
