Today we spoke with Jessica Brown, who runs Nihongo Connection out of Scotland, about how people can begin learning Japanese and what it takes to make progress when you're starting from zero. She has years of experience helping foreigners become used to speaking in the language, and runs a large (and growing) community of passionate learners. Hear about her journey from knowing nothing about Japanese at all to being on a plane to Japan to be a teacher! Brought to you by Risu Press and Japan Switch.
