This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

Recently, since I've been learning Japanese, I've had a lot of questions about it. I once asked a question in a forum, but unfortunately, they deleted my question because they said the question was asked many times. I did read some similar questions before I asked but they weren't exactly the same question as mine. Most importantly, I'm just a beginner, some members used difficult examples or language to explain the concept in those threads, and I didn't understand. Fortunately, I've found a forum that allows me to ask simple questions. 😤

Recently, Since I've been learning Japanese, I've had a lot of questions to ask lately about it. I once asked (posted) a question in a forum, but unfortunately, they deleted my question because they said the question was had been asked many times. I did read up on some similar questions before I asked but they weren't exactly the same question as mine. Most importantly, while I'm just a beginner, some members used difficult examples or language to explain (in their explanation) the concept in those threads, and which I didn't understand. Fortunately, I've found a forum that allows me to ask simple questions (and gives simple and clear answers). 😤

First of all, I'd say you're not really a beginner. Why do I say that? You can ask questions about it. And you can do it in Japanese. However, you do seem to be more advanced in English than you are in Japanese, and that makes sense, because many residents of Hong Kong speak English as a first or second language. (So I've heard. 😊)

More later.

I am a beginner. :ROFLMAO: I asked Japanese questions in English, and I just started chapter 5 of a elementary Japanese textbook. :ROFLMAO:

@Maybo I guess you're right. I was wrong. You are way more advanced in English than you are in Japanese.

**Since I've started learning Japanese, I've had a lot of questions about it.**

In my opinion, the phrasing indicates a systematic study and not passive learning. Although they ("study" and "learn") are different words with different meanings, sometimes there is some overlap.

***One time I asked a question in a Japanese language forum, but they deleted my thread because that question had already been asked several times.***

Tell me if you think I got that right, okay?

*****I did read some threads about similar questions, but they weren't the same as mine.*****

******Most importantly, because I'm just a beginner I had trouble understanding some of the explanations.*****

*******Fortunately, I've found a forum where I can ask questions and get simple, easy to understand answers.*******

There!
