Japanese in a Year: 5 Month Progress | Vlog #19 

You are doing all the right things! You should be super proud of this level in 5 months. Keep going!!!

I've been looking forward to this one! I can definitely tell you've made a lot of progress since your last iTalki video. Looks like your studies are paying off dude

This video is the first I'm seeing of yours, and just following along with the conversation, I can see that I understand almost all of it. It has been great to measure what I've been learning with listening comprehension. There isn't a lot of basic conversation recorded out there. Thanks for the video! I hope things have only gotten better since this.

Really great, thanks for sharing it, i can' t help, but smile while watching it. I mean just the thought of having a conversation in a language you knew nothing of just a while ago, is really cool. I'm really happy to see your progress, nice work. お疲れでした。

Amazing progress man. I remember a month or two ago you didnt really understand anything, But now you are able to have the subtitles for everything. Keep up the amazing work :)

I couldn't help but keep a smile on my face the whole time! Really fun talk!

Great progress man. Thanks for sharing!

Great video. I'll add that my own iTalki lessons have been fun to do these last three weeks. The main reason I started taking them was due to your last video of an iTalki session. The process was simple and the price reasonable. Definitely something people taking the self study route should consider to supplement their main form of study.

Excellent job Shawn, this video is a great inspiration for all those who are learning japanese ! I really like that girl, she is very positive, smiley person, talks slowly to help you, appreaciate it.

I like when you talk with another people. ^^ I'm motivated for study more japanese, I understood almost everything. :)

nice progress! I found it quite funny when you randomly started talking about sheep, but I get it, I do it too when I want to really learn and remember a word. Makes for quite interesting conversations!

pretty amazing you got me inspired i need to step up my learning

I like this teacher!!! She speaks very clearly and slowly. I want to try a lesson with her! :-)

見てて、とても応援したくなりました！ショーンさん！頑張ってください😊

Great progress!

Dem gainz, bro. Nice work!

I need to start practicing speaking more since I plan on going to Japan in September for my birthday. Another great video.

Congratulations! I need to get in touch with the teacher

Shawn san, im addicted to your smile

I think it's a very good job in 5 months !

even tho the video seems a bit outdated xD I am so impressed by you talking and sticking to japanese even if you dont know every word. Thats admirable

Very cool. How do you record these? Ive never used italki before but i plan on doing so and i want to record mine also to show it to my family because they are intrested in how japanese sounds. Do you talk with them over skype?

Love the channel and your commitment to the challenge! Started learning japanese a couple of weeks ago for no good reason, and been loving it. I found it inspiring to see how processual and logical your approach to learning is. Seems like you spent a lot of time planning it, which is something I hardly ever do as a student of anything. Learning how to be a student is half the fight (or more). Well, がんばって！Go get em. (as a last comment, it would be lovely if some user could sub these!)

Dude this is really good. I could understand a lil bit of it from using the app memrise but man I wanna do this! Lol 😭

Wow are these ever helpful. So did you do these regularly or just occasionally (twice a month or so)

This is really only 5 months?lol really amazing

You speak the best Japanese

Little question by the way: which learn books did you used? :)

Any websites Shawn ?

Any big tips you would recommend someone that don’t know nothing about Japanese to start off on?

I love these videos! Would you be interested in doing a RU-vid video discussion about language learning? I'm a Spanish teacher that is growing and I'd love to ask you questions to help my students with their learning process!!

Hi mate what app you use to record video from italki ??

So hard to remember the words when speaking huh? It's like they are all there when you hear them or read them, but few come back when speaking lol But I am sure you will build the muscle memory the more you do these :-) I look forward to seeing more :-)

man great progress. u motivate me to progress. my goal is also to learn japanese in one year. i am one month in.

Can I ask what app did you use for this conversation?ZOOM?

Hey do you rewatch this and listen to what she says after you? she gives good sentences to correct you after you have spoken.

上手いな日本語！！

Omg itsnso similar to korean

You two are talking like love birds, so soft :D :D

I think here people are who know several japanese words and Almost grammar but are afraid to speak Japanese . And if you understand japanese and can t speak . Award yourself for Facing pain and reaching great milestone. 😎😎😎😎🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. I am one of them

Do you ask the tutors for permission to film your conversations?

質問があります。どうやって日本人に話せますか? 私は日本人に話したいです。７月にはたらくつもりですから

you said that speaking with people was about 2%. But i think you should at least try to make 40% speaking. It would be possible to become fluent in japense if you only spoke japense (of course with someone who speaks it) in about 3 months

あなたのビデオは便利です。

Omoshiro desu ne

おもしろい、、、

HAHA. Did you get shy because she is pretty? Better to speak with male, isn't it?

Next step: watch anime!
