I think learning a third language in your second language will be the most efficient for keeping your second language ability but what if the third language was far from your second language?

🇯🇵Japanese slangs エモい - adjective. something makes you feel really emotional or nostalgic to the level that words can’t even describe. e.g. 「中学の時に好きだったバンドの曲を 好きな人がカバーしててエモかった。」 “my crush covered a song from my fav band back in HS”

probably, it’s Asian culture that lowkey toxicates how you view your life. being unmarried at over 30 y.o doesn’t mean you’re the bad one for marriage. It’s worse to rush into a marriage than being single. please have more respect about yourself and treat yourself even better💗

As a Japanese person, I’m sooo tired of seeing “dark side of Japan” marketing tbh. Generally, Japan has a good reputation and expectations are too high. hence, it’ll be more views attributing to big money if influencers sell the gaps by throwing lights on negative sides.
