Your Guide to J-Vloggers: Sharla

Introducing: Your Guide to J-Vloggers! Or YG2JV, if we want to be cool.

Today's featured vlogger is Sharla.

Sharla is Canadian and completing her degree abroad in Japan. She's studied Japanese for probably 10 years, in my estimation (from what she's said in her videos). Sharla is fun and a good teacher of Japan and Japanese culture: she shows interesting foods, restaurants, festivals, etc. Even how to order pizza in Japan! Sharla updates regularly, probably once a week, and she's one of my favorites. Check her out!

I found a female J-vlogger!

Ask and I shall receive.

My conversation partner and I were talking about Fukuoka, and he was telling me about their accent and how kawaii it sounds. I figured there would be 0 results in English, so I searched for 「福岡弁 」(Fukuoka dialect) on YouTube, and who did I find?

Riko-san!

I really wanted to find a girl vlogger, not just for the sake of variety, but also so I wouldn't end up sounding like a boy! I love Sharla, Micaela, and Mimei, but none of them are native Japanese. Not only was I excited to find Riko's Fukuoka videos, but she is actually a pretty prolific vlogger and is still very active! I hit the jackpot. Maybe in the future, we can all try to translate her videos :)
