We're back with another 日本語 update video
I decided on 18 months rather than 12 mainly because of my availability this past year or so
I am experimenting with this style of editing also so please give me some honest feedback and opinions down in the comments!

Livakivi is an absolute goat. Love his content. His shop restoration videos are sick too.

I love that series so much, so nice to see it finally coming to and end after all that hard work

@JouzuJuls 2 года назад

Imma be real with you chief, I didn't expect to see ME here LMAO. Thanks for the shoutout! It was very interesting to hear about your journey and how similar it was to mine! I'd love to connect with you to work on videos together or just chat about Japanese!

@Igirisu 2 года назад

LOL ofc!! The whole shout-out idea came pretty last minute to me but I wanted to at least mention some channels that really helped me out, seeing your one year update was super nice, I watched through it all and it gave me more ideas and insight on some things I could do better. Always happy to promote and support channels looking to help others ❤️ and for sure I’d love that!!

@Khalilnewyork116 11 месяцев назад

This such a cool video! - as an aspiring architect, who plans to travel to Japan this year, He Who Can’t Marry is definitely a funny & somewhat relating show! I’ve been studying Japanese (on/off) for about a year now. So this definitely helped! Best of luck in your studies! がんばれよ！

@ClowdyHowdy 2 года назад

Great video! Glad to see you spreading an important message about following your own path. Nobody has the same language journey and there's something really cool about that. Looking forward to hearing more in the future.

@Igirisu 2 года назад

Thank you so much Clowdy ❤️ You’re absolutely right, nobody’s journey is static and seeing how everyone differs is really awesome because we all learn in our own way!

RE LIFE YES!! So I didn't know there was an anime version until a few months ago, I actually watched the live movie first which was also pretty darn good. Great video keep up the amazing work. 3 Months in my journey!

@Igirisu 2 года назад

I had no idea there was a live movie! I’ll definitely check it out omg Thank you so much I really appreciate it ❤️ stay strong and enjoy the process!

@Igirisu 2 года назад

Appreciate you ❤️ I didn’t do your name any justice in this video though 😭 but for sure man, your advice and videos have helped me more than you know!

@nerdbow9192 2 года назад

Good update video. I remember watching your video when I was starting out and it's been like 1 year since then. I definitely agree with your points on comparing yourself to others. For most people Japanese is just a hobby at the end of the day.

@Igirisu 2 года назад

Appreciate it!! I do remember you popping up back then. I saw your 8 month update before the new year, it's really nice to see people with a similar timeframe grow alongside you. And definitely, that advice has stuck with me because at the end of the day it's your own journey and not anyone else's

@deniwastaken Год назад

Thank you for the shout-out! I definitely didn't start off as an immersion learner, but from around the 4 year mark (I know, way too late) I began learning almost completely through immersion. Somehow, I just didn't really hear much about it until late 2019. Oh, and you got my name right, by the way :)

@Igirisu Год назад

Better late than never! You've made incredible progress and I'm really glad that you kept pursuing Japanese alongside other hobbies, I really respected the rubik's cube grind and the programming you sunk a lot of time into - Has definitely helped me a LOT with adopting the right mentality for long-term goals 😁

@deniwastaken Год назад

@@Igirisu Thank you so much! Glad I was able to help in some way :) I've subscribed to you, by the way. Surprised I never saw this video until now.

@Igirisu Год назад

@@deniwastaken Thank you very much! and haha frankly I didn't expect anyone I shouted out to see it but really wanted to mention those that made a difference for me - I'm super glad you and a few others actually did because it lets you know that you made a difference to at least 1 person

@Mesh-9 Год назад

Thank you for making this video I’ve been learning Japanese for 2 months now i know some grammar and a lot of kanji I really want to start ajatt but i found it so complicated for now especially anki giving me a headache as a beginner

@Igirisu Год назад

Thank you for taking the time to watch! ❤ I think that's great, you'll have a much easier time with some prior knowledge but I wouldn't worry too much about anki - what I mean by this is, have a deck you are working on daily but keep in mind that anki is simply a supplement and the real learning happens when you are consuming content (immersion!) hopefully that advice can assist with the stress of anki being an ongoing burden but please let me know if you get stuck or I can help in any way, I'm more than happy to do so!

@Mesh-9 Год назад

@@Igirisu of course immersion is important I’ve been watching anime and playing Japanese video games for long years but didn’t know Japanese was that hard but I’m really enjoining it , thank you for your help!

@sanjeev.rao3791 Месяц назад

I'm the opposite when it comes to reading VNs, i find that my VN speed improved after i started reading books more often. One of the best purchases i had made was a Windows tablet which served as an e-reader with the Yomichan extension. Much more convenient than kindle and much cheaper secondhand too.

@Igirisu Месяц назад

That actually sounds super convenient! Could you recommend a specific model or are they all similar? I've recently just been reading on my phone using ImmersionKit's epub reader since it has a built in dictionary but would much rather use yomichan (sadly I have an iphone so I'm limited to this option)

@sanjeev.rao3791 Месяц назад

@@Igirisu I used a Lenovo Tablet 10, but that was only because that was the cheapest 10in tablet I found on secondhand sites in my area. Not sure how many windows tablets still keep getting made these days, but Craigslist (or the equivalent) would probably have a lot of them. The other option is to search for 2-in-1 convertible PCs since those are essentially tablets with a keyboard. Just pick one with Windows (10, ideally 11 so that it doesn't get deprecated in 2025) but apart from that they're all the same.

@xXBenutzer235Xx 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for this, its really motivating to get back into immersion. How many hours of immersion did you do per day approximately? I think I did a little too much so I burnt out. Thanks again :)

@Igirisu 8 месяцев назад

Really glad it helped! thank you for watching, I personally had some days where I could do so many hours without issue (like 6-8) because I felt invested in the show I was watching or I had a lot of free time but other days I would do the bare minimum and listen during commutes with the occasional youtube video here and there (maybe 2 or so hours altogether). I feel like it's all about having the balance and recently I've been on a different longterm journey which has been fitness and that taught me SO MUCH about overall working towards a goal that can also be applied to language learning - Set a goal, and find a way to make working towards it sustainable for YOUR lifestyle in order to help with consistency. The sad reality is that everyone lives very different lives and it's not about what other people are doing but moreso about how you can apply what they're doing to fit your routine and build consistency. Sorry for the super long wall of text lol but hopefully you can take some value out of what I said, happy to assist with anything else if I can but otherwise take care and thank you for watching!

@xXBenutzer235Xx 8 месяцев назад

@@Igirisu Not at all, I appreciate the elaborate answer :D But I see what you mean. I think the hardest part is getting to the point where immersion becomes really enjoyable and where you can follow the plot so that you can do it recreationally so to speak. I think I am almost at that point but most shows are just beyond the point where I can follow the plot which gets really exhausting quickly. But seeing videos like these is always motivating cause they show that it pays off eventually :)

@Fuzycuzy 2 года назад

I have the opposite problem where I can focus way more when I read but when I listen I tend to zone out way more.

@Igirisu 2 года назад

Hmm at that point you could consider either finding new listening content that might keep you engaged or honestly just use jp subs but don’t be reliant on them being there, treat them like something that’s “there if you need it” Or maybe even podcasts for listening can be really good, I tend to focus on them a lot more than my regular immersion

@donkeyhota.dontflamingo9294 5 месяцев назад

But igirisu, how many words did you know when you reached the point of 90% comprehension and how many hours did you pour into it?

@Igirisu 5 месяцев назад

It's pretty tough to estimate the hours I put in as I wasn't tracking my hours at that point, moreso something I started recently within the past month. And a lot of the content I was consuming was within the same genre, the more you kind of watch one genre, the more you get accustomed to how things are said/which words are spoken - not the most descriptive answer but I hope that helps! Japanese as a whole is extremely wide and there's always content you won't understand at first, sometimes I find myself barely able to read 20% of a sentence but it's just about building up that tolerance and learning as you go that really helps in the longrun. I'm overdue my 3 year update and was considering making that within the coming weeks so that's something I can go into there.

Quite a funny coincidence, I haven't seen much of them as a group other than their cover of YOASOBI - 夜に駆ける but I just recently started watching one of their members individual channel (シルクロード) who is quite big on smash bros. and it's been really good in terms of recommending youtubers on my immersion account!

@jackh4832 Год назад

@@Igirisu haha what a coincidence I found the group through the first take video and continued from there, they did a hide and seek video with lots of big Japanese youtubers a while back its a good video just to look at some other channels its just Japanese youtube isn't for every one as the way of editing is so alien within English youtube. Also what are you studying at uni?

1:51 that's funny are there people that can't stand them? I am only learning japanese to be able to play untranslated ones (And to surprise my one japanese friend) . But watching anime without subtitles is probaby a nice sideffect.
