Hello, I'm a freshman and trying to learn Japanese. I want to practice with actual people learning the same language. However, the class I am in for highschool is slow and not challenging. I try to learn on my own but textbooks aren't enough. The sensei suggested that I enrolled in a program called Concordia. However, I heard that it's mostly for kids who want to have fun. I don't know about you but I'm not interested in paying hundreds of dollars for "fun."
My online friends are learning Japanese fast and I can't keep up with them. I'm already 15 years old so hopefully there's still hope. I want to be really good at the language but I can't.
Please help.
