    Hey, I'm AHorseWithNoName, and I'm a classics major starting to learn Japanese for the very first time. I have spent a lot of time studying languages, but not so much the spoken or listening elements, and I was interested in trying to challenge myself by learning a language with zero relation to my specialty, to get a real start-from-scratch experience. I'm looking forward to learning a lot!

    Welcome to the joys of learning another language! Is there anything in particular about the Japanese language/culture that drew you to the language?

    I'm glad you're enjoying learning Japanese so far. What other languages have you learned?

Cooking Continued

 This time I found a different video that I thought was interesting, though in a similar vein as the previous one. It's a video about how to properly make an omelet, with good presentation and everything. I found it especially interesting to see the similarities between the way I make omelets at times, though I could definitely stand to adopt some of the youtuber's corrections, as I especially struggle with the ultimate shape of the omelet. For instance, I usually don't apply any seasonings until after I complete the omelet, and while that's not necessarily related to the shape of the omelet, it's an interesting change I might adopt on my own. It's fascinating to see how similar dishes can be executed differently across disparate cultures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKQzbDvHrlM

Cooking

 I'm a fan of cooking, so I like to learn more wherever I can. Japan has a very rich culinary culture as well, and maybe unsurprisingly because of that, a lot of very large cooking channels on platforms like youtube. While there are many longer videos out there that go through a lot more detail, it might not be the best choice for a post like this.  https://youtube.com/shorts/5JJ_ogZ6QLU?si=QcveTrZ6ZMUr3W8e This video is a very quick recipe for oyakodon, a recipe I definitely plan on giving a shot sometime. Hopefully, I'll be able to learn a lot more from these videos as I improve my Japanese language skills and can take in more detailed information.
