どもども!ダニエルです。Hello, there! I’m Daniel. I’m a writer and translator based in Osaka. I’ve been blogging about Japanese at How to Japanese since 2008. I’m also a past contributor to the Japan Times Bilingual page.

This is a monthly newsletter on learning Japanese and life in Japan.

How often will this go out?

Once a month. Maybe at the beginning of the month. Maybe at the end. I’m not setting a specific publication schedule for now, but I’ll get it out once a month. Posts are generally timed with something on the blog and podcast.

Is it free?

How to Japanese is free.

How do I get in touch?

Feel free to contact me at howtojapanese at gmail.com
