The very first post!

Hello everybody! I welcome you to my blog. My name is Gustavo and I'm writing from Brazil.

From here on we will learn the Japanese language, hereby called Nihongo (日本語). We both know this is not an easy task. So, before you start asking yourself "How on Earth are we going to do that?", let me tell you: 

We are going to use the power of discipline!

I do not mean we both will spend four hours a day practicing, but we will sure persist. We will have the guts to study everyday, be it fifteen minutes or one whole hour or more if you got the time. And the reason why I am using "we" is because I am still learning the Nihongo too.

You stick with me. I stick with you. We stick together until we get ourselves fluent in the Nihongo. Do you hear more about the plan? Here it is:

•  We will study characters once or twice per week;
• There will be grammar studies also once per week;
• Every week we will read one or two little dialogs;
• Once per week we will have a stress free conversation about Japan related things;
• On Sundays we rest, ok? We need it.

 After all is done we will look back and say: "Hey, that was quite a way until we got here!" And then the others will be able to read and learn from our recorded efforts.

I will count on you and you can count on me. Your feedback is really appreciated, without it I am truly lost. Please share your opinions and doubts with me as I will share mine with you. Use the comments or email contact whenever you need it, ok?

Good luck to us all!
