More Japanese in your life

Want to use Japanese more in your life? It'd be easier to catch along to things and it'd be useful to know the names of every day objects. This post won't focus on the cultural side (so I won't be telling you to use chopsticks more) but on the linguistic side instead.

Some tips:

• Replace your labels in Japanese
• Subscribe to those daily vocabulary newsletters. Click here
• Change your social networking site (fb?) to Japanese
• Change your phone language to Japanese
• Memorise one new word/phrase a day and try to incorporate it in your conversations
• Read, watch anything with Japanese in it (manga! anime!)
• Read and translate Japanese children's books
• Buy from Japanese brands more often (Daiso)
