Learning Japanese - a Q&A with Rosie about her missionary journey learning Japanese

2024-03-2149:53

While James grew up in Japan and already spoke Japanese, Rosie was born and raised in GA. To be able to live and work as a missionary, Rosie attended a language school to learn how to read, write, and speak Japanese. In this episode, we talk through what it was like for someone to go from zero Japanese to comfortably functioning in Japan using Japanese. We also talk about things we did to help expedite her learning process.

Catching up.

In this podcast episode, we discuss our missionary work, sharing updates after a nine-month hiatus. We've experienced significant events like relocating church buildings and hosting three interns. Our main goal is to start 16 churches by 2030, and we seek prayer and support for this initiative. We're also working on establishing a steady rhythm in our work and have plans for community outreach. Get the details in this episode.
