What you point out about their English is not the issue. But your attitude seems to lack respect for them. I think that is why so many people complain about your video.
That’s awesome. The goal isn’t to be perfect. The goal is to have conversations and connect. I just know that “imitating native speakers” is the only way to really become bilingual. No books. No reading. Just 100% sound waves and your ability to mimic those sound waves. I barely speak Japanese but the day I started mimicking Kansai-ben is the day everyone thought my Japanese was amazing. Speaking like a native is the compass. But actually having conversations no matter what level you’re at is the goal. It doesn’t take years to be bilingual, it takes months- if you mimic native speakers. Pretty simple but I make these videos to point out there is native English, and then there is people learning native English, then there are natives who speak “educational English” and I think that educational English is the greatest tragedy for students. I hope that your conversation partners get real with you and stay genuine. And most of all I hope you enjoy the process of becoming bilingual. 😎
Just in my opinion, when we Japanese people see someone who speaks English confidently, we probably think that person is a native speaker... （Even though their grammar is not correct or their pronunciation is not perfect. So, confidence could be the key to become a native speak..?Idk） As I've been learning English for a while, and I enjoy communicating people in English, this video is interesting for me to know their English from a native speaker :) Thanks for sharing it, your Japanese is awesome!👏
Ya I’ve noticed a few people who have charisma, but who cares what other people think. As long as you are communicating and connecting with English speakers, then everyone wins. Confidence is key to start the conversation and humility is key to improve when you don’t understand what’s going on. The more you mimic native speakers the less misunderstanding. Taka from one ok rock is a good person to listen to. 👍🏻
Haha I think Hana’s METHOD is worth mimicking. Even then, I really think you should have like 10 teachers- if not more! And those teachers should be native English speakers. 逆に考えると俺は絶対アメリカ人から学ばない、日本語を。so from this video, that really just leaves 3 or 4 teachers. 😬 in other words Hana is an inspiration, not a teacher. To BE LIKE her, don’t listen to her English, BE LIKE her by talking to more native speakers of English. 😎
@@kysennpai thanks for your response. Hana-chan is more of an inspiration than a teacher. That’s how I saw it too when I left my comment. I’ve already got over 10 American teachers,. My English still needs work, but maybe because I’m always around Americans, apart from Chika-san, other people in the video give me a bit of a weird vibe, you know? with English being so easy to pick up from native speakers nowadays, unless you’re just starting out, learning from non-native speakers doesn’t seem worth it, does it? I mean, it would be a bummer if you ended up learning awkward stuff. I only know one RU-vid channel like yours where they give feedback on people who are teaching English on RU-vid. It’s super valuable, please keep it up.
Thanks for the feedback. I truly believe the only reason Japanese people have a tough time with speaking English is because of teachers who don’t know what they’re doing. Anyway, ya, just know that the truth comes out of peoples mouths in reality. Books are a reflection of truth. And no single teacher contains the whole truth. 🤗
I really wish I had glasses that could just show the furigana. I mean, if you “said” the words then I could “hear” them. Reading and listening are literally two different dimensions that do not overlap so maybe one day I’ll study kanji harder, but the truth is, all major international discourse, be it political, scientific or artistic happens in English so there just seems to be a limit to the usefulness of kanji. Tell me what you said next time you see me out and about 👍🏻
Ya, there are two types of people. People learning how to speak English and people not learning how to SPEAK English. These videos are for people learning, but I get a lot of weird comments from people not learning… so I try to concern myself with people who really do just wanna improve- even if it’s just a little bit 🙏🏻
It seems a lot of people dislike this content. However, I find it valuable because what you’ve pointed out are common mistakes made by Japanese people. Good luck 🤞
Thanks! I do this for anyone who’s learning English. And also, I have the analytics and most people who like the video don’t comment. It seems to be only trolls who like to comment so don’t take them seriously 😉
I learned Japanese because a lot of kind people helped me. I wanna return the kindness. Sure a lot of people around the world can learn California English with me, but for now, japanese people generally don’t use the internet in English- take for example your comment. So I am focusing here in Japan first. Maybe I’ll pivot to other countries in a few years. Go with the flow 🤙🏻
場合によるかな。たとえば、whadiya gonna do? が自然。 でも、 I’m gonna go storeは不自然。I’m gonna go to the storeって言わないとネイティブに聞こえない。 going to のgonna はネイティブだけど。want to のwannaも。when did you の whenju も自然です😅
I have lived in CA for over 40 years and worked for several US corporations. Pronunciation and accent are the most important factors in speaking English. Native speakers don't understand you if you don't speak with proper accent and pronunciation. Most of them listen to the sound as you speak. So, KY is very correct. We should memorize his corrections. I traveled a lot on business for about 10 years, to Asia and Europe. They speak different English than American English with different pronunciations and accents. I always spelled it out as they spoke. Otherwise, I could understand less than half of what they spoke. Btw, some of them in this video are not easy to listen to. Why? My ears are bad. Lol.
Thanks for your comment. 🙏🏻 I feel most English educators emphasize the visual aspect of English waaaaaay too much. It would be like trying to watch music lol. But I always try to explain 仙人より千人 real world people are your real teachers and the real lessons are hidden in every conversation you have. 😉
In my humble opinion most Japanese want to learn useful worldwide communicative English rather than Perfect Californian Accent which I believe is just one of styles of English.
@@kysennpai Of course, Californian English is nice. I wanted to say however, it’s not everything. Those youtuber’s English is also nice and sometimes sounds more attractive than typical Californian one. If you had focused on their good points, your video would have been more informative and interesting.
