This evening I talked with my Japanese friend with LINE. Although I’ve heard about this application and its great benefits, I never used it. I am an old school type of person when it comes to SNS. New application always comes with some fear.
My Japanese friends told me the majority people use LINE to communicate in Japan. Urgent messages are passed through LINE not only between friends but also between schools and workplaces.
Contrary with that, here in America, I never heard anybody using LINE. The major chat app here is Facebook Messenger as far as I know.
My Japanese friend and I normally enjoy talking on Skype. For this month however, she could not get on Skype due to some reasons; either the Internet connection error or the computer error. That was how she asked me to install LINE on my cell phone.
With my friend’s help, after struggling in installing, I finally could talk with my friend through LINE free talk.
By the way, my installing LINE app accompanied with a nice surprise gift.
My mom’s name was in the recommended friends list. I sent a simple message to my mom without knowing if my mom is suing LINE or not. Within a minute, she replied back to me. I didn’t know even my mom has a LINE account.
I am glad I could catch up with the Japanese communication app, finally.
