Favorite Japanese phrase
My favorite Japanese word is ‘onomatope’ (onomatopoeia). When I first started studying Japanese, I had no interest in it at all. However, as I continued studying, I began to develop an interest. At first, it was difficult, but once I got used to it, I found it interesting, and I started to like Japanese more than before. Now, I not only like onomatopoeia but also vocabulary and kanji.
