Kanji Everyday

Translation: "Language is a means to an end, not an end in itself." In other words, we do not learn a language just for the sake of knowing it, but for the practical benefits that come with it. It is a tool, not the final goal. This brings me to the question many of my dear followers have asked over the past few days regarding why I stopped posting on this channel? To put it simply: It is because of AI. With the rise of AI, I no longer see the same value in language learning as I did in the past. This is especially true for a language like Japanese, which demands a massive chunk of a person's lifespan to master. If there is no clear outlook for a guaranteed—or near-guaranteed—benefit from learning it, why should I keep spending my precious time on it? Of course, everyone has their own motivations, and many of you might disagree with me, but this is how I personally see it. Don't get me wrong! Learning it was a fun experience, especially at the beginning. I was young, and I didn't care back then if it served a practical purpose—I was just enjoying myself. I also believe it played a part in shaping how people perceive my personality. What is done is done, and I honestly do not know if I will ever return to posting here. Thank you to everyone who has walked this distance with me. I wish luck to those who wish to continue the journey. I pray that your efforts are never wasted and that your hopes and ambitions are fully realized. Sayonara.
