Oh wow! Where in Japan did she live?

In Kumamoto. That was over 30 years ago, though. I always ask her to teach me nihongo, but she doesn't have the patience with me. Hahaha! And she can't remember most of it now.

Ohmy! Kumamoto is very far! Amazing! Maybe when I go Okinawa, I'll be able to drop by there. 🖤 Nihonggo is difficult to learn and retain when you can't practice it daily. Maybe when I get to the PH for good, I lose the language skill as well. Huhu

That's true. I guess it applies to any skill, if not practiced you'll forget it.
