～から vs ～より: "From"

Introduction

Exciting news! I got—wait for it—a letter! That’s right, we just got a letter, we just got a letter! 🎶 (Any fans of that song in the house?) Oh, who was the letter from you ask? Why… I didn’t look. Let’s see! Would you believe it, it doesn’t say! Maybe whoever sent it didn’t know how to write who it was from… Wait, you don’t know how to do that either? It’s easy! I’ll show you!

Today we’ll cover an alternative to ～から. This alternative will also mean, “from”, but with a twist! Without further ado, let’s swan-dive into it.

From My Heart, To Yours.
