I think this was my faveourite thing I've ever done- 10000% worth every second. I started Olly Richards Japanese course in January and by August this was the conversation i was able to have with my best friend, I can't say how much happiness learning this language has brought me- i'm a very very lucky girl !
Olly does courses in many languages and his unique techniques were the only reason this video was possible- here's a link to his website - happy learning

I really love how your friend continued to explain in Japanese even when you didn't understand something. This is one of the best things when you're learning a language. It's so easy to just switch to English and I have had people do that a lot to me when I didn't understand something, which comes from a nice place, but it can also be a little demotivating.
the love between best friends is so underrated and beautiful, this video is such proof of how important these connections are 🥺❤️ love this video! im learning tagalog to speak with my best friend, and burmese to speak with my boyfriend & his family, i hope i can progress to this level too, so inspiring 💖

There are a bunch of teachers on the app and you pay (very affordable like £8/9 an hour) to speak with native speakers- it did wonders for me! good luck, i can't wait to hear about your portugese jouney!

Ahhhhh this is amazing that you can have a conversation after just 6 months.
