Nice to meet you. i'm Japanese. I watched your RU-vid channel for the first time. It gave me the motivation to study English. Thank you so much. I'm not very good at English. I hope my English expressions aren't rude.

@user-cp1rz7ns9y 6 лет назад

@@desolategaming1970 I agree with you, the tones is quite confusing (I'm half Chinese half Japanese) even now I get my tones confused sometimes when learning a new word. Overall Japanese was easier for me to learn because the grammar is quite straightforward but both languages are quite difficult.

@Iruko 7 лет назад

You can (and should) use italki. Realizing this does cost money (approx 15-20 eur per hour for a lesson), I find it to be the far most useful method for speaking Japanese. Not only do you have subjects you can discuss to your likings, you're actually paying someone to keep up a conversation (which in real life one, such as myself, might find hard) as well as have someone who talks slowly, clearly and corrects you where and when needed. If you haven't already, give it a shot.

Definitely try hellotalk, you can converse with people who are learning your language as you learn theirs. It's really nice to say something in Japanese and get a response in English. You can bond with people, too! There's rules on the app about how it's not a dating service so you can make friends properly. There's also the social tab that's a bit like Instagram which is nice

A really good way is to go onto VRChat, you don't need VR to play this; it's for all Steam users, and it's free. Then go into a Japanese world and either just stand nearby and listen to them, or if you're feeling brave, actually talk to them. Although protip lol, since you are technically eavesdropping on people, you should find an avatar that is either small and hard to see, or look down or avoid eye contact so they just ignore you and keep talking.

I don't know if this helps but I recommend watching Japanese live streamers. Especially if you have no one to talk too. You can chat and read other comments. If your lucky, you can find underrated Japanese streamers who are very kind enough to let their viewers chat with each other and themselves interact with us. P.S. Don't be rude and don't expect people will always read your comment and respond back. Just vibe with them.

@Lvci123 6 лет назад

My problem with studying by myself is that I have no guidance. Sometimes I learn around 15-20 new kanji a day and sometimes only some new words, then I start looking at grammar and well I feel like I don't improve. I already know a lot of Japanese but when I see a text I can't seem to be able to understand what it says. I know the kanji, I know the meaning, I might know one reading but all together in one text just seems too much, even if it's only a JLPT5 short story.

I went to that big bookstore in Japan, the one outside of Nagatacho near Akasaka (the biggest bookstore in the world that sells Japanese study books) and got like 5 books on this date last year I think (because I was in Japan in Feb 2016), and still haven't really used them. :/ Studying Japanese daily was also my resolution, but then my job threw more hours at me after someone quit, then I picked up a distance learning course and... Loretta please send help.

@ramisa2697 6 лет назад

I completely agree with the 7th point, and all the other ones for all that matters😂 but that's the one that's more relatable, i study Japanese at my University and what our teachers always suggest is that we use the "Shadowing" technique, which consists in listening to a conversation (usually on a cd from a book) and looking at the written conversation while repeating along with the speaker. Now that i think about it its almost like karaoke but instead of songs you "sing" along ordinary conversations😂

@shiraki8711 7 лет назад

One of my resolutions this year is to be able to speak Japanese by the end of the year atleast in intermediate level. I only study online though since it's my only choice. Though I know someone who speaks Japanese, I can't really ask her to help me since we aren't close to begin with so I just focused on writing kanji and stuff instead. My only lessons helped me to read hiragana a bit faster now so yea.

But how to SOUND Japanese though? I’ve recently listened to my pronunciation of words and some simple sentences and it was... meh. I mean I am glad I didn’t sound like a fucking idiot (I hope lol) but it felt like I was missing something. I was copying native speakers’ intonation and even if I managed to copy it like 100% I still couldn’t see a Japanese person saying that. (That’s my method. I record what I say, close my eyes, listen to recording and try to pretend like it’s native speaker. If it works and I can see Japanese person saying that sentence I know that I managed to do it,)

@xHideousFoxx 5 лет назад

I agree practice the language not study! (studying is just for fun!) but without a doubt the best practice is active listening and reading! since you can't make mistakes or reinforce bad habits! of course eventually you'll have to take the plunge and converse! if you aren't recording or transcribing those conversations they probably won't stick very well unless they are held often, which comes down to a matter of frequency (just like eating, sleeping, exercise) frequency is a key element people often forget! Personally I try to spend at least 3 hours a day (sometimes straight, sometimes spaced throughout the day.) in some way either reading, listening or conversing in Japanese. I hardly write since it isn't yet a goal of mine (I type a lot if you can count that!) But I don't have metrics to prove whether or not that 3 hour time block is an effective frequency.

Thanks, I needed this video, I especially agree with the point about too many readings for kanji, it does put me off study altogether when I see too many kanji readings. But I do all of them a bit. My wife is Japanese, I live in Japan and even still I forget to practice with her

最近まともに英語の練習をし始めたけど、英語の発音が難しい。機械が全然私の英語を理解してくれない(´・ω・`)

I'm Japanese and I speak Spanish, Portuguese, English and of course Japanese all fluently

This is exactly why I’ve frozen with kanji learning. I hit those kanji with 10 readings and I give up. :/

Odd question: For Kanji, I understand that convention dictates On yomi be written in Katakana and Kun yomi be written in Hiragana. Some language-learning books and apps will write both yomi in Hiragana. In your experience, is the convention important and do you think resources sticking to the convention are best for learning Kanji?

I don’t know when I will next be able to go to Japan so speaking is very difficult for me especially when I’m already shy when speaking in English(my mother tongue) but I at least try to repeat what is said out loud so that I can pronounce the words I’m still very jankey and broken up with longer sentences but I’ll keep trying!

I'm studying japanese and I'm a beginner. My main language is portuguese, but I learned english alone... so if japanese will be your first foreign lenguage that you will be studying, I have one tip: First, you start to read/listen, so you start to writte and after that you start to speak.

Oh gosh- My biggest issue is definitely obsessing over every little kanji and every meaning of said kanji. That's my biggest japanese learning flaw!

Guilty of all of them. My Japanese class is teaching me to break from these habits
