I'm really impressed his positive mindset and attitude!! 😮👀 and also I'm surprised that he really understands Japanese people's background (mindset?) !! 💫 Thank you so much for making this awesome interviewing video, Arthur! 🙌✨
With regards to the conversation at 17:55, I'm a native English speaker learning Japanese (for a bit more than 3 years now) and I really like watching videos like both of yours (videos about the English language or American culture targeted at early intermediate English learners). Videos in Japanese talking about English are amazing practice material because you can learn about cultural differences alongside practicing comprehension.
I’m just the one of the people who study English to just improve English , learning English itself as a purpose and I was kinda embarrassed remembering I had felt how boring it was to talk with foreigners I met for the first time in a bar But it can be helped that I have nothing particular that I can enjoy or share with people because simply I am a mediocre person with no such talent or passion. I just need to sharpen up my English to make a living and wondering how I can more effectively help my students. Then I decided to be what’s wrong with that. Anyway thank you for providing such an impressive video. I’ll listen to this over and over again since it seems to be a good practice to me. Thank you.
i agree that making connection not based on english. maybe best way of learning language is to work. then one need to read and write and speak and listen the target language. i gave up doing it in my phd work in abroad. but i hope many japanese enjoy leaning language. sorry. i lived in germany. my english is not perfect.
so, Dakota Rose please! Nick is very popular with especially Japanese girls. LOL. I'm a dude but subscriber of his channel. "the straight across bang" ahh.. I got it. there was something I want to explain about "パッツン" and "禿 hair style" in the past, because I'm in oversea Babymetal communitie. Wow Nick you have to write a song for Martin Friedman, because he is featuring together with many idols. yeah "L&R" is important, I wrote "crap" by mistake for "clap" so have a situation.
The Japanese word you used for the word "abstract" is probably mistaken. It appears multiple times. If it's 理論的, it can't be abstract, you know. I'm not trying to be mean or anything.
Very interesting /informative with two very interesting/intelligent people. I' learned to speak English originally by leaning/singing old American popular songs from 50s-60s when lyrics are simpler but more poetic and melody lines are not so one note per one word/sometimes even one syllable like in rap style which are not ideal for beginning learners. As in the case of Nick who wanted to sing Japanese songs I did the same with American songs. the advantage is that they follow natural flow and rhythm of speech and they don't mush or rash words together like they do now. It really helped me to get natural flow/intonations of English. Next step is to go out and actually use it no matter how bad your English maybe. You don't know how bad (or good) you are till you do and make notes an correct. REPETITION is also key words. 333,333(Three hundred thirty three thousand three hundred thirty three) / 444,444 /555,555 / 777,777 and million, billion, trillion (double L) say these numbers /words in English till you can feel comfortable using your tongue /mouth/ lips. These all have letters Japanese don't have and by repeating on your own you'll be able to start feeling easy saying words that used to stop you mid sentence. That's how I started the history of my English speaking journey.
