Yes, I 100% use learning new languages as an excuse to rewatch my childhood favourite TV shows and movies. Because this way nobody is allowed to judge. It’s educational.

Where exactly does one start when learning a new language? I’ve made 3 attempts since I was around 15 to learn German and given up every time. I honestly have no clue what to start with or where to go for resources. Every time I’ve tried to look for resources it’s for people who already know a lot more than I do. It feels like there’s no real resources for beginners.
The only other language I know aside from English is French and I don’t remember beginning to learn French. I was 9 years old when I started French in school and before that had been exposed to it my entire life through signs and packages since I live in Canada.
German however, I never had exposure to until I was around 14. I really want to learn it but I honestly have no clue where to start.

I feel moderately dumb doing kids worksheets (especially with how many tries this took me for how simple it is…) but I know logically I have to start somewhere.
I don’t enjoy the feeling dumber than a toddler part though.

Japan to Revise Official Romanization Rules for First Time in 70 Years
Hepburn romanization is the most widely used Japanese language romanization system but it is not standard in Japan itself. The Japanese government usually uses the Kunrei-shiki romanization, which is the standard since 1954.
Both are used simultaneously in Japan and this is sometimes quite confusing, especially when teaching children. Schools use the Kunrei-shiki style but in society Hepburn style is the most common. Geographic names and places are rendered with Hepburn style, and also, passports. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
Later I will explain the differences between these two along with other romanization systems for Japanese. But the most important thing is that Hepburn style followed the English pronunciation, not like Kunrei-shiki style.
In my opinion, making Hepburn romanization style as the standard doesn't really have an effect on Japanese language in general, it would only have an effect on Japanese society. Outside Japan itself, Hepburn style is the most widely used.
