Hey there 🫶🏼 I'm Emi, a half Japanese, half American girl from Tokyo, Japan, now living in the gorgeous country that is South Africa 🇿🇦
I started this channel to hold myself accountable for my Spanish studies, documenting my Spanish study progress for a year, and eventually reaching a B2 level.
I no longer actively study Spanish, but I'm passionate about film making, and I make content about travel, culture, and languages (and I definitely still have a huge love for everything Latin American)!
Not sure where this UA-cam thing will take me, but I'm for sure enjoying the journey-- and I'd love if you could be a part of it as well!
Sending you my love and thanks for reading this ;)

Here's a little train of thought video on getting out of a creative rut, writer's block, perfectionism, or maybe even procrastination whatever you may call it. It's a different type of video from what I normally do, but I hope you enjoy :) The quote is from a book called Manual of the Warrior of Light by Paulo Coelho. This video is heavily inspired by a video by Gawx. → ua-cam.com/video/GoTa5ET...

I'm always confused when people try learning African language from white people who aren't native speakers.
that one clip where the robots weren't working is from Queenstown ( I'm from there btw)
I heard of Language Transfer... But it doesn't have the language I'm interested in, so... Tough luck.
It's a chicken (peacock) let me explain why I call a peacock a chicken when me and my twin was like 10 we were going to our piano lessons and we saw a peacock and my sister scream thier is a peacock and I said (sarcastic)no it's a chicken and 4 years later we call it a chicken 😂😂
I just followed you ❤❤❤
The airtime part depends on preference. It's been years since I've used that method, you can simply use your bank account
Your clicks are great ❤❤

YIPPEE i really wanna learn mexican spanish because i think it sounds very awesome and I have a mexican partner and I want to know his language too :33
I recommend Spanish with Nate
Hi Emi! I loved your video! I only recently heard of Italki a few days ago, and that brought me to UA-cam, where your video was the first one I watched. Your transparency and honesty were so very real and human. Those were things I could really understand! Thank you for this! I'm going to give Italki a try soon!
This was beautiful to watch
More people need to see your video's
I love PE went to visit a friend left with 4 bullets in my stomach
where is South African its in the Eastern Province of China
Wow so true!!!!
as a native and purely Xhosa speaking person. i can confirm that it won’t be really hard for you to learn the language, more especially the understanding part of it. I know how hard it can be to learn a language, hear it from me i have adhd myself and been tryna learn French. but the best thing about you is that you can pronounce the words almost perfectly. advice: focus on understanding the commonly used terms first and use them around the people or in places you go to. like if you’re at the gas station greet the attendants: “hi bhuti unjani? ndicela i full tank” that will help a lot.
I just started learning Russian on Italki! I enjoy it a lot so far! ¡Saludos desde Ecuador!
I discovered this channel now now, and im addicted ❤ i love this woman
Stay in your own country
Your with an Africana. No different the in Thailand you’ve obviously have not traveled too much quite complaining and the phone is votafon- European owned. You itch!
Why, stay in your own country. I’m sure nobody treats you like shit like you do in Japan
I very much enjoyed this review of italki. I’m a 53 year old with basic knowledge of Spanish and I want to learn more. I recently heard of italki and decided to look for reviews. Yours was great! Definitely motivated me to take the next step and go for it. Thank you!
How did it go, if you went for it?!
@BobSmith-s7j so far so good! You need to use the 3 trial lessons to your advantage and try out 3 different teachers. First one was so so but the second one was perfect for my needs. I did the third one anyway but all I can say so far is utilize the lower priced 3 trial lessons to find the fit for you.
@@SeanLawn71 ¡Gracias!

I do really like this format. I would love to see more in Spanish. I think that your Spanish rocks!!! Also I was looking at your 1 year journey and your video about falling in love with Spanish again and there was so much (some of it a bit uncanny) that was similar to my journey and that I could relate to.
Hello and welcome to South Africa Braai comes from the Afrikaans word braaivleis which translates to cook meat. Shortened to Braai. Thought I would give u that bit of useless.Our country is not that bad I have lived in Cape and Durban for the last 65 . Be safe and enjoy our beautiful country
I love the way you said it, I love the topics, the story, just the everything, the k you for this insight on your life which to me is really inspiring and encouraging. También creo que es ahora de despertar y enamorarse de las lenguas de nuevoooooo😁😁😁

Welcome 😅

You already sound a LOT like a South African...Yoh ! ❤❤
Halfway through this video I went and downloaded the app. It’s great! Thanks!
Cape Town is an awesome city. Only problem is that it's full of Capetonians. Seriously, though, P.E. isn't for everyone. I love the small town feel with all the big city conveniences. I moved here in 2000 and don't plan to go anywhere else despite all the problems we have.
Great stuff
