Making videos which tell Japanese to foreign learners

I've been thinking a lot about what I'm going to do after I retire, and I have one plan in mind. The idea is to use the Internet to teach Japanese to foreigners who want to study it.

Japanese is sometimes said to be a difficult language for foreigners to learn. I don't know if that's true. Learning another country's language is difficult for anyone.

Let's think about the difficulty of learning Japanese. I think one of the reasons for this is that there are three written characters. Hiragana, katakana and kanji.

For Japanese people who are proficient in Japanese, texts written only in hiragana are very difficult to read. This is because by interweaving kanji expressions with hiragana sentences, the meaning of complex sentences becomes clearer.

However, kanji are difficult for beginners of Japanese. This is because there are many types of kanji. It is said that the number of kanji commonly used in Japan is about 2,000, but the number of kanji that actually exist is in the tens of thousands. Therefore, even Japanese people cannot remember it all.

First of all, beginners of Japanese need to memorize hiragana, how to read them, greetings, and simple sentences.

So I started making videos that introduce simple written expressions using hiragana. I'm making this little by little and uploading it to YouTube. I would be very happy if this would be helpful to people who are starting to study Japanese abroad.
