[Asher]

Thank you everybody! All of your messages are great and include your own unique point of view about studying the language. I can assure you all that Haruna will treasure each of your messages, and re-read them many times!

I’ll try get a photo of the card before I give it to her!
(Deadline for new messages will be the 30th, midday Tokyo time, as I’ll have to do some editing and print everything out in time for New Year!)

Thanks again, you are all amazing and this is one of the reasons we chose to do the recording in the first place, because Bunpro has such an awesome community!

Dear Haruna,

Thank you so much for recoding and spending probably ridiculous amount of time to make the audio files. I have no idea how Asher convinced you to do this. It has really elevated Bunpro and made using this website a much better experience. 本当にありがとうございます。

新年あけましておめでとうございます。

はるなさん

録音してくれてありがとうございました。最近、N３の文法を勉強し始めました。それで、はるなさんの録音は本当に助けてくれました。私は発音を上手になっていると思いますよ。

あけましておめでとうございます。

[Eironeous]

「発音が何だっけ？まぁ、また忘れちゃった… え？録音があるみたい。助かった！」そういうことがよくあります。ハルナ先生のおかげで文プロを使いながら文章の流れがよく感じます。先生がそばにいて手伝ってくれるという感じです。

ありがとうございます！

Dear Haruna,

thank you very much, for spending much of your time to improve this website and learning experience. Your recordings make my learning sessions feel much more natural and add tons of value to them.

I wish you an amazing year 2021 and that you will achieve all the goals you set for yourself!

はるなさんへ

今年もありがとございます！ 初めてはるなさんの声を聞いたのは、びっくりしました。
「へ？なんでこんなに綺麗な声が流れているの？」と思いました。前の声に比べて、ずっと聴きやすくて、勉強に役に立てる声ですよ。

はるなさんのおかげで、発音や聴力うまくなってきました。どこまでか助けてくれたのか、言葉だけで伝え難いですね。しかし、自信満々に言えるのははるなさんに感謝します。

ありがとうございます。

Side note, I hope my Japanese doesn’t butcher her eyes. If anyone has a correction before this gets sent to Haruna, let me know and I’ll fix it asap.

[Asher]

There are a few tiny gramatical errors, but it is very easy to understand! I think you should leave it how it is, the small mistakes are endearing😊

Dear Haruna,

Happy New Year! Thank you so much for taking the time to read and pronounce hundreds of sentences just to help a couple Japanese students. You really made a difference in my studies, and I’m sure I can speak for everyone when I say that we’re all deeply grateful.

はるなさんの努力に応え、日本語の勉強を頑張るという決意を新たにしました。心から感謝してます。

Hi Haruna-san, thank you very much for doing what you do!
I’m really thankful for the audio files as they really help me in my studies~
Have you a good year ahead!!

Hello Haruno-san!

Happy New Year! I only recently came back to Bunpro after a very, very long time. Thank you so much for your hard work. I’m sure it must have been very time consuming and very tiring. Thank you so much for going so far for us and helping so many of us all around the world. You are an amazing person and I hope you will have a wonderful New Year and a wonderful year in general!

P.S Asher, this is very nice and thoughtful of you! Thank you too!

[Asher]

Currently preparing all the individual messages to go in the card. Thanks so much everyone that wrote something! It will be greatly treasured by Haruna!

[Aythreuk]

Man, that looks beautiful.
I see mine! CHANSUDAZO.
Well, hopefully I wasn’t too much of a monkey. I have to assume my boi wouldn’t have printed it out if it was too ape-like.
アニメのような日本語が出したぜ！

[distantflower]

Oh no, I’m too late in seeing this thread! But my appreciation echoes many who have written their thanks and gratitude to Haruna-san. Since I’ve missed having my message sent to her via the cards, I’m sure @Asher can relay this short message to her in person anyway. Sorry if there are mistakes in my Japanese as I’m still a beginner.

はるなさんの声がかわいだと思います。お世話になりました。良いお年を！

And thank you @Asher for your help and assistance all these while too! Wishing you both a bright 2021!

[kakapo]

Ah, same goes here, I’m too late… But your work has been of tremendous help, when being able to parse Japanese speech is being key to me feeling confident while interacting with Japanese people.

I wish you all the best for the new year, @Asher and Haruna

[TheSuicidalMuffin]

Happy new year @Asher and Haruna! How did she like the cards?

[Asher]

She loved everbody’s messages and has read them many times already. Even got a little bit teary when she realised what all the random pieces of paper were in her New Years card.
She already knows of course that the recordings are for the site and that people use them, but she said this was the first time she actually felt like she was helping people.

[Daru]

Super super happy to hear that. It was a great idea after all!

[wct]

Sorry I am late to this!

Dear Haruna-sensei, thank you for all your hard work! お疲れ様でした！ For me the audio is very important to help me learn Japanese because I don’t have the opportunity to speak to or listen to real Japanese speakers yet, particularly for grammar points in context. BunPro is great for providing that, but it wouldn’t be possible without your help! Sincerely, you have helped me greatly in learning the Japanese language. Thank you so much.
