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 a South African currently based in Uzbekistan (My students are obsessed with Japan and South Korea). I would like to visit Japan one day. Stayed in South Korea for 3 years.
You left my language out… 😢 😂😂 Swati (from Mpumalanga). I’m currently based in Uzbekistan 🇺🇿, lived in South Korea for 3 years. I enjoyed the video so much. Are you still in SA?
I watched your video. Got motivated. Studied for 40 days and gave my DELE B2.❤❤
Searching Xhosa on YT and seeing this was nice. Listen to Spaza songs honestly🤣
Thanks for the video! My Korean American daughter is applying to UCT. You gave our family some great insights into the decision.
THANK YOU so much for the Ted Talks & faith related resources!! Also, such a good point about not being a good tester for the language exchange apps, I find they give me a little anxiety bc I don't like texting as well, but you saying it out loud made me realize, maybe I just don't have to LOL I can stick to things like italic and other things for language exchange instead of forcing it on those apps. lol
I am adhd and I have a very hard time with memory, besides flash cards what are good ways to remember. I would think every day practice is not enough, or perhaps it is.
be my girlfriend please
This was 6 months ago so not sure if you're still into Xhosa. I would recommend that you go and speak to people in the street and shops (stores) every day because African people are so encouraging! They will even teach you extra words or phrases if you ask them to. There are quite a few Xhosa songs if you google them. There's also iTalki which has native speaker tutors and short trial lessons so you can see they resonate with your learning style. If you're feeling adventurous, arrange to stay in a rural village for a few days. Here is a clip of a German guy speaking the Xhosa on the street. ua-cam.com/video/NfxMEO_Gxmo/v-deo.html
The best thing about Gqeberha is the people, we are just the friendliest ever❤

Very nice - but it´s not available for learning english 🤔?
You know what emi grace you could go to nearst bhai their and get airtime put the code in for Vodacom mtn etc hope this helps
I really wish you had said this was for Spain Spanish before I watched the entire video and had already subscribed to the entire list. smh
I'm South African and let me tell you, this is a very difficult language to learn whether you come from this country or not.
Three minutes into this video I got the app, did 5 lessons and I will say this is a great app.
i grew up in south africa (moved to uk when i was 15) and i was raised vegetarian. it definitely was difficult but in joburg there were shops with vegetarian friendly food and in general most of the restaurants had at least one thing. vegan on the other hand 🥶
How inspiring! I hope one day I can be at this level too!
Thank you for your love for our country that shines through your whole video! You did an excellent job on every point, as can be seen in the thousands of replies from every culture here. We love you back, and mag die Here jou ryklik see"n!
I just bought "Butter" for a friend anglo who cooks for peeps. I watch a Jap. Am. lady who talks about Jap. Pens inks and stores. The culture is different.
Beautiful!

Love the Christian portion❤
Didn’t think young adults especially girls were still religious in 2025 😮😂
How did you learn to roll the R’s?
Muggers walk finished me😂😂😂😂
🕯🔥🌧🌈🌍🌎🌏
It's a crazy country from what I know... so a good sense of humor helps. That muggers walk... 😂!
Not all Cape Town water cold, Gordons bay to Muizenberg warm water.
Car guards tip is not a must R5 to R10 a lot maybe R2
Bro this really is sooo underrated, I have come back to this video so many timessss
This video couldnt have been recommended at a better time. My first iTalki class is in 20 minutes and im nervous 😂
I have been studying Spanish for three years and I am still at A2. I might know more grammar than you would at that level.
Thank you! My go to UA-camr only recommended Spain UA-camrs and I specifically want to learn Latin American Spanish (preferably Mexican).
You sre a an intelligent and active young and I like your content
So inspiring 👏✴️❤
Are you living there for work purposes because we have Cape town
Great information but the extremely tight spaces between your spoken sentences are edited so closely that it feel breathless to listen to--a strain to listen and process without natural pauses. I would never re-listen to a video that does this. Sadly, this practice is common to save video time, but it's not worth it for the 60 seconds added.
I don't understand the reviews. Language Transfer (german) is a joke. Twenty (long) minutes wasted in a completely uninteresting monologue.
Doulingo is the best langauge app for free never pay for langauge apps its never worth it and doulingo is better then langauge transfer lol
This video brought back memories. I decided that I waned to learn Spanish during the pandemic and I remember having a blast watching movies and youtube vloggers. It's crazy to believe that was 5 years ago. Now, the language has permanently become a part of my life and I can't even imagine living without it (I'm currently studying it in university). I even got into listening to some worship music in Spanish as well, so I related to that a lot too😂. I liked the way you conveyed that information too. I didn't even skip the promotion because it was so interesting 😂
As you learn it the languages becomes more interesting. Its a challenge but it can be learned. It will take years to master however from the beginning you start to understand basics and start to understand basic reading of phrases
Curious, what is your native language?
You're such a good editor, your storytelling is also impeccable
❤❤awesome dear
So inspiring!
Sir, I am from Bangladesh. I watch your videos all the time. I want to convert your videos into Bengali and upload them on UA-cam. The money I will get from this is 50% yours and 50% mine. If you agree with me, please let me know.
Not the muggers walk lol it's true though lol😂😂😂 Edit:I'm laughing so hard rn the "LOUDSHEDDING"
I wish I had something to sell; I would hire you to be the spokes person!! Your excitement is probably what does it best, that is attract anybody to whatever you are taking about! Great job! Bien hecho! ❤
