【 Mini Japanese conversation】with  

Thanks Miku! 楽しかった！🎉 Cheers from Okayama :)

Miku Sensei, I absolutely love all your content. RU-vid lessons, shorts and podcasts. I just wanted to say that your reflective podcasts are absolutely amazing! I do like the conversation ones but when you reflect on this like positivity, being happy/thankful I have to listen multiple times because it’s is full of so much useful life lessons. Thank you for everything you do for us learners 🙏🙏

ありがとうございます😊

いつか大阪に行くんだから、みくさんは準備して、このポルトガル人と一緒に居酒屋に行ってください！ｗ

I like your conversation videos.❤

Thank you so much Miku and Bobby for this conversation! I'll be going to Japan for the first time in 13 years this year, and have been studying Japanese. Since I'm Chinese-American, I was often wondering if I should initiate my conversations by first saying that I'm a foreigner and don't fully understand Japanese yet, so that they don't confuse me for being Japanese if I just jump straight into my question (I've been told by every Japanese I spoke to that I sound native, and while I do have good pronunciation and pitch accent, there's still a lot of vocabulary and grammar I haven't learned so I'm far from fluent). For some reason, I fear a scenario in which natives just start speaking to me with fast native Japanese and I would be reacting like a deer-in-headlights where i just have no idea what they're saying. So hearing from Bobby that it's a good idea to mentally prepare them with a warm-up intro is so helpful to me, I will make sure to do that. Thank you both so much again, 本当に勉強になりました。ありがとうございました！

miku先生ありがとう御座います。

thanks for the video. Keep up the good work

I have my best conversaitons in Kyoto with older people. So, what he said is totally correct ahahah. Thanks for this video!

I've been learning words like 混乱する and イライラする recently so it's nice to see them in conversation and be able to understand!

Thank you for sharing your perspective Bobby. It was an interesting discussion. If I may provide some education on the common vernacular used regarding Americans of mixed ethnicity... in the context of Japanese Americans, there are so many among us who are of mixed ethnicity. But all of us, whether 100% Japanese or otherwise are referred to as Americans. Thus when we say we are "mixed" or "half", we would say for example, my mother is white and my father is Japanese. Or my mother is Mexican and my father is Japanese. Those of us whose Japanese families have been here in the United States for generations would never say we are half American and half Japanese. Hope this provides some additional context and perspective.

できるだけ日本人の友人ができるように関西弁を勉強した方がいいですね。いい忠告だと思います。正直、日本語を教えてくれてありがとうございますみくさん。本当に感謝しています💜💯。ちなみに、みくさんがもう元気に成ったのを分からないけどもしまだ具合が悪かったらもっと早く健康に成ってください🙏🏻💪🏼💐

先生、ビデオをありがとうございます！良いビデオでした！僕はまだ日本語の普通の会話があまり聞き取れないのでちょっと難しいと思います。でも日本語を頑張ります！

Miku先生。こんにちは。私は日本語を勉強している時間はもう8か月経ちました。今はN3を始めたばかりです。この動画は70%ぐらいわかります。でも、まだうまく話せません。そのことはあたりまえでしょうか。

Speaking に自信がないので参加したいですが どうの参加するのを教えていただけないでしょうか？

俺もミクス／ハーフ！ 日本人ハーフカナダ人ハーフ

2 halves make a whole don't they?

Kindly make video of casucative form verb, I am struggling so much, a lot of video I watched but not like Miku Real Japanese, please make video on this topic

ありがとう　先生

すみませんわたしは　おきゃくさまとともだちつくりたいです

ポッドキャストを聞きました。私はハーフじゃないが ハーフと聞いて初めて、びっくりしました。観点はおかしい感じでした。かれはハーフだとぼく、なんなんだろうか。日本人にとって人間じゃないか。でも、日本だけじゃなくてほかのアジア国についての動画をみて、西洋人の外面は違うからどんなにアジアに住んでも永遠の外人のままです。逆にアジア人はアメリカかヨーロッパに引っ越したら、外面からみると外人扱うかもしれません。私は外国語の勉強が好きですが、海外に住むのは好きかどうかわかりません。大変ですね。敏感ですから。

I guess Bobby is annoyed with such things because he doesn't know himself wheter he is American or Japanesse.. Miku, why haven't uasked him how he feels about it?
