I’ve been studying Japanese at university for the past year and I use these videos as a way to gauge my progress! It’s so cool being able to understand a good amount of what you’re saying and it gives me hope that I can eventually get to the point that you have. Hopefully I’ll get to study abroad soon and I can really test it out.
What’s it like learning? We’re you learning it for the first time in college? We’re you good with languages beforehand? How much work do you put in daily to improve? (Sorry for the questions I’m thinking of studying it as part of a joint honours or perhaps by itself)
@@hyrule5975 Don’t worry about all of the question! I had an interest in high school and would attempt to learn it a couple times but gave up and didn’t really retain any information. So I would say I began learning it for the first time at University. I won’t lie it’s pretty difficult at the beginning as Japanese’s sentence structure is very different from English’s and some of the grammar can be confusing at first. Eventually you get a hang of it and the grammar becomes much easier to understand with each addition. Overall when I’m at my best, I won’t lie I definitely slack off a lot, I’d say I practice about an hour a day and have seen DRASTIC improvement. I find myself being able to stay most of what I would want to in just a year and a half. Obviously I want to keep improving, but where I started to where am at now is night and day. You should definitely study eat even if it’s for a short period of time! It’s really a beautiful language and although it is difficult at times, its not as crazy as sone people make it out to be. I had only ever taken spanish classes before University and I didn’t excel in an particular fashion. I genuinely think anyone can learn Japanese and the way the classes are structured I think you’ll be surprised by your progress too!
I really look forward to more Japanese asmr vids since You're one of the reasons I started learning Japanese, this my 4th week and I'm now able to read hiragana comfortably, in a couple of days I'll start learning katakana. When I finish learning it can you please recommend books, articles or manga to practice reading? :)
I understood the word 'fuwa'! Thank you, 'K-On!'! You have a very polite/formal way of speaking. It's all cozy and reassuring. PS. The words in your hair in the thumbnail made it look at a glance like you were wearing a tiara. Aesthetic approved.
You’re literally the most adorable ASMRtist i’ve seen, and hearing you speak in Japanese exacerbates this :D The best part is that I’m somewhat used to hearing Japanese because i listen to a few Japanese bands somewhat regularly: Porno Graffiti, YUI, and FLOW
alise!!! i loved this ramble. personally some of my favorite asmr is in japanese! i would love to see a role play in japanese if you’d want to do something like that!
thank you so much!!! I was sooo nervous to make this haha but I'll keep making more videos in japanese from now! ooooo the rp is an interesting idea, thank you for the suggestion :) !
日本語をここまで話せるのは凄いと思います。自分は英語を学んでいますが、ここまで上手に話せません💦 I think it's amazing that you can speak Japanese so well. I'm learning English, but I can't speak it so well💦
The name of animals and plants are usually written in katakana for easier distinction. For example, when you write "there is a swimming dolphin", 1. 泳いでいるいるかがいる 2. 泳いでいるイルカがいる The second one is visually easier to understand. A katakana word looks like a chunk and stands out in a sentence even if the word is quite short like いぬ, うし, かめ etc.. You can use kanji instead, such as いぬ=犬, うし=牛, かめ=亀. But not all the name of animals and plants can be written/recognized in kanji, for example, we dont have kanji for gorillas. So when you want to avoid mixing up kanji and katakana or uniformity of expression is needed, katakana is applied to all. Maybe your textbook indicates the name of animals in katakana all the time? Because it is a "textbook"! Anyway, in a daily situation, there is no rules. At least the native Japanese speakers dont care🤣 As long as it can be read, you do not have to be bothered how to write😉 Hope it answers to your question. Thank you for learning our language and enjoy your stay in Japan💝
English viewer who is learning japanese and moving to japan as i type this, I have been absolutely enjoying your content! it is amazing to help me learn flowing conversations and not feel so nervous when listening to others. Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing! あなたは素晴らしいです、続けてください！
The convention is that in scientific papers names of animal and plant species must be written in katakana. (And there is a kanji for 'kaeru' but it is outside the list of officially accepted kanji that everyone must learn by the end of compulsory education, so usually the media outlets such as NHK also write in katakana.)
