Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in learning Japanese while they played games with me starting in January. I’m a Japanese-English interpreter living in Japan, and I wanted to start a streaming channel in which I would teach Japanese as I play games. The problem is, my rusty old brain isn’t used to playing and talking, so I need someone to rejuvenate my brain.
I won’t be recording or streaming our sessions, and I’m not asking for money. I just need to get my brain used to doing more than one thing at a time. Oh and if you could help me improve my Smash skills, that would be a plus.
DM me if you’re interested. I have a Switch 2 and a somewhat outdated PC. I can get a copy of whatever game you might be interested in playing together if I don’t already own it.


Thank you so much for the valuable input! I watch people play Smash who can talk at the same time, and I’ve read scripts while playing and it wasn’t too bad. Though, I have to admit that going off script was incredibly difficult and I don’t think I could teach grammar concepts if someone asked me… I don’t think Smash is a great game now that you mention it.
I just remembered that I had an American client of mine I was interpreting for join my friend’s home party and he and my friends played Ultimate Chicken Horse and my friends were doing their best to communicate with him using what little English they used. So your suggestion of party games like Mario Party is spot on!
I think our timezones might actually work out depending on the day of the week. Would it be cool if we kept in touch??
Hell yeah! Message away!
