I really hope this channel reaches one million or more, I just really like this channel as someone studying Japanese. I have been studying Japanese since I July 2021, basically July, and my life advice to become better at studying Japanese is to (mainly for beginners): a. be consistent with the habits that improve your life but as most of you intend, just studying Japanese because I know people rely on motivation and god if you only rely on that it will disappear, thus you not doing it, but just do it anyway, so you can be more disciplined. b. restudy and watch video related to that Kanji/Subject, so that way you get immersed in it, and it starts sticking to your head, because if you don't restudy or immerse yourself in it, I guarantee that you'll forget it. Basic advice. But to summarize: Be consistent and immerse your self in that kanji/subject without relying on motivation. Listening to your laziness and feelings will take you nowhere in life. Take action if you haven't. Time is ticking and who knows what may happen next.
This type of video is so useful. Textbooks or video lessons can teach phrases, but they can't really show the natural rhythm of conversations, especially with employees. I'm glad I found this channel!
I'm so happy I stumbled across this video. This was really interesting to watch and also such a great way to check my actual Japanese level. I'm so proud of how much I actually understood. Can't wait to see more of these!
I just started learning japanese, so this is still above my head but I'll definitely keep watching your videos. I really appreciate how much work you put into your videos with all the subtitles and the explanations etc. Awesome job!
If it's too hard to understand for you, you might want to check out some other channels for beginners in Japanese like Comprehensible Japanese, Japanese with Shun, Daily Japanese with Naoko, etc. Those are just a few off the top of my head, I used them when I just started (still only 10 months in lol). I actually wrote a blog post about the best resources to learn Japanese for beginners, if you want I can leave a link here
@@jameslin7392 For complete beginners I would recommend 1. Comprehensible Japanese 2. Nihongo Learning (not the grammar videos but later videos) 3. Japanese immersion with Asami If you are a little above that level you can check out the following: 1. Japanese with Shun 2. Daily Japanese with Naoko 3. Kiara Chan 4. This channel because Ken also makes great content for beginners, although I've seen very few of his videos Some of the more advanced resources would be: 1. YUYU Nihongo podcast 2. Akane Nihongo (These are actually spelled in Japanese but you can easily find them like this too) These are most of the channels I have used but there are definitely more great resources you can use. Hope this helps 😉
Oh wow! I work in Japan, I wish my students would speak slowly and clearly like you TT_TT Hahaha. I just have one question: why are you eating ice cream in winter??? It's freezing everywhere XD
I forgot I was subscribed to this channel. It just blew my mind how useful this type of videos are if you are learning the language. Appreciate your effort.
★ Correction of Furigana subtitles ★ 2:09 I just noticed that I wrote down the wrong Furigana on the Kanji. お召し上がりですか？ is おめしあがりですか (It's not おねしあがりですか ) I'm so sorry about that.
I really like this video format, thank you!! I got ice cream in Meguro, Tokyo yesterday (ordering in Japanese), and the shop clerk responded back in poor English which was quite annoying. I have to lie a lot to Japanese people that I don't speak English!! Then they ask where I'm from... and I often say I'm from Israel. Then they ask me to teach them how to say "hi" in that language and it's a never ending cycle. All I want is my ice cream... :(
I'm so glad I found your channel! I've been studying japanese for 6 years but since it's 独学, It's a bit harder to learn. Your video is so organized, nice and easy to comprehend and to learn! Thank you so much, please keep making content!! I don't usually share channels or post them on social media but yours deserve it 🤍😄
This deserve more views! My Japanese friend recommend me this video and it’s really useful! I will note those things you’ve said in the video for future purposes. Thank you Again!!
I really do appreciate videos like that, I'm glad youtube has presented this video to me, already subscribed to not lose any more videos. I realized you speak a bit slower and clear to make it easier for beginners to understand, we do notice and really appreciate that, keep the awesome work man!
thank you so much! It's really awesome that there are no romanizations in your videos, I really like having conversations subtitled and then subsequently broken down so i can try to follow along and then have it reviewed, without romaji spoiling everything! Thanks a lot!
Thank you for this video. I often notice, thanks to this kind of video that depicts everyday conversations, that many Japanese people use the word "なんか" (nanka). My impression is that this word is somewhat equivalent to "like" in English, used in sentences like "I read a lot. Like, it makes me feel good." However, I struggle to understand if this word is interchangeable with words like "なんとか" (nantoka), "なんとなく" (nantonaku), or "みたいな" (mitai na) at the end of a sentence... Anyway, THANKS A LOT for this type of content!
The ice cream parlor you visited is evocative of those from the 1950's era in the United States. To my knowledge, very few of the original ones still exist. In Japan, I like 餡子 ice cream. When I was in the south of France, shops offered herb and tomato and fig ice creams. Thanks for a snapshot into something typical of Okinawa.
VVaveFlakzさん、Thank you for leaving your comment! Ah, I just noticed that I wrote down the wrong one. You are right! おめしあがりですか？ is the correct one! おねしあがり is wrong ...
Hi Ken san. Thank you for your videos. I can practice listening to Japanese conversations. I am very new to studying Japanese and I think your uploads are very useful. I have a suggestion. I think you can make a special series of videos - same format as you have already uploaded but with contents for very bigginer level. Thank you. I hope more people watch your contents!
I really like the clips where you visit different places and stores. I find the clips very practical for practicing Japanese. The store visits are very interesting! Thanks!
Really great and helpful video! I notice you sometimes say お願いします and other times ください. Are there any rules for when one should be used instead of the other?
Okay. Please watch this video as well.↓ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XdmYsZnYXRI.html&lc=UgxgJgZ3k22TLgZNShN4AaABAg . And read this explanation below. Then you will understand how to use ください and おねがいします. . ↓ The explanation. ↓ In ordering food or drinks situation, we can say either「ホットドッグをください」 or 「ホットドッグ、おねがいします」. And the same meaning. I wanted viewers to think about it and realize that both can be used to order food and drinks. . ①ハンバーガーをください。 ハンバーガー、おねがいします。 . ②おちゃをください。 おちゃ、おねがいします。 . ③おみずをください。 おみず、おねがいします。 . ↓ The below is from the textbook that I made↓ 【ください is used with て form (Please + verb)】 みてください →〇 みておねがいします→✕ . 【おねがいします is used as just "please"】 まどを しめましょうか? はい、おねがいします →〇 はい、ください →✕ . Exception! When we order food or drinks at restaurants or bars, then we can say ビールを おねがいします →〇 ビールを ください →〇 Because ください can mean "give me ... "
Hi from Brazil!! These videos are incredible. I'm studying for a while, and I decide to improve my listening and conversation skills. Your videos are so helpful. I've got some tips on how to practice intensive listening skills and these videos are just perfect for that. Great job!
