The top 3 BEST ways to memorize Japanese words ft. Matt vs Japan! / 超効果的な単語の覚え方！ 

Japanese pitch-accent and pronunciation lessons: www.patreon.com/dogen

Me before watching: "oh this will be informative and helpful" Me after: "Why did I expect any different from Dogen."

extremely helpful, will never forget a japanese word ever again

I feel like this is basically the internet when it comes to any topic

This is literally "When the two smartest kids get a different answer in one question"

If Matt says mattaku, does Dogen say Dogenaku

Thanks so much for having me on!! I hope you guys enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed getting to make it 💪

Look at these guys flexing lol

In conclusion 1. When you are in conversation with a friend or in another situation, try to find words or sentences with the same meaning or the same pronunciation. 2. Remember the minor details including nuances, accents, or other. 3. Have a debate with your friend or maybe fight him, and associate these words with the experience.

This is the most passive aggressive video between two of the best non-native fluent Japanese speakers on RU-vid and I love every single thing about it. I need more!!!

This video was everything I expected it to be and also nothing like I expected, such a good video lmao

Even when on the same side, two people studying a shared topic can't help but devolve into nerd fights.

I thought this would be very informative, then I learned it was a joke and wondered why else I would expect anything else from Dogen. Then I realized, he was being really clever about hiding the tricks to memorizing Japanese words in the video. 1.) 0:09 - 0:13 - Learn the synonyms, and learn the little nuances that differentiate words. (0:26 - 0:39, 1:11) 2.) 0:14 - Repeat words to yourself to help remember them. (Maybe use SRS apps?) 3.) 0:41 - Learn pronunciation (incl. pitch accent) when you learn new words. (1:18) 4.) 0:56 - 0: 59 - Don't admit mistakes and deflect. 5.) 1:25 - 1:28 - When corrected again, pretend you knew it all along, then deflect.

Reading the title: Oh great, that is something helpful for me! After the video: Alright then, keep your secrets :(

I feel like this video should be titled "Dogen and Matt deterring you from learning Japanese"

This interaction pretty well-summarizes interaction between Japanese-learners that have yet to (or don't plan to) live there. It's all one big argument over minor details except in the end no one really knows who's right anyways. Probably no one

The video ends only because it starts coming to blows right after.

I simultaneously love and hate this. This is my favorite. I didn't know Matt had comedy/acting chops! His expression was so smug at the end. Wait!

タイトル通りの内容を期待して開いたのがバカだった

Idk why but when Dogen's face when he said "知っているし" had me on the floor lmaoo

This is like a Twatter conversation.

5 stars. Probably the most insightful and practical guide I’ve found on how memory works particularly with language learning. Highly recommend for anyone looking to take that next step towards fluency.

And what's the morale: When memorising Japanese words prepare for phonetic dilemmas and well... You're learning for nothing because someone will tell you you should use something else anyway

This was not the video we wanted, but it was the video we needed.

God I love the running gag of fluent Japanese-speaking foreigners instantly comparing each other's Japanese and becoming increasingly defensive. Art imitates life.

Ah yes Dogen has finally found someone to nerd banter with

Secret Info from Banter Achieved: 1) There are different ways to IMPLY the same thing (i.e. similar meaning). 2) When structure is considered, nuances matter. (i.e. in formal writing). 3) To Memorize, Expand your Vocabulary then Improve what you've come to know. 4) Develop your ear's senses to the nuance of specific phonetics, such as rendaku. 5) Slowly figure out Exceptions to the Rules.

Seeing the title and the length I wondered how a language learning tips could be this short. 30 seconds in ... you got me there.

Thank you, I'll definitely use these 3 BEST ways to memorize Japanese words.

How most conversations on Twitter go

"The top 3 BEST ways to memorize Japanese words ft. MattvsDogen" is more like it

1:27これめっちゃすきwww

Mattさんのうざったい喋り方とDogenさんのキレ方、どっちも日本語の雰囲気がリアルでおもしろい

Why can't I hit the like button more than once? マジでこれ大好き。

I haven't forgotten a single word since watching this video

Wow, now I've memorized "単語の覚え方" and "語彙力の鍛え方". This is the best! YOU LITERALLY FEEL THE RESULTS IN JUST LESS THAN TWO MINUTES!

I´m just floored by the level of proficieny in japanese in this 2 minute video. My biggest admiration for both of you!

2人ともめちゃくちゃ上手くてびびったw 普段喋ってる時に考えないこと論理的に言われたら、賢くなった気分になる

This might be the best video i have ever seen, thanks guys.

this is basically the same as watching the 2 smartest kids in your classroom flex at each other to get the teacher's approval meanwhile i'm sitting here like "huh, yeah, i know some of these words"

No but... he does cover how to memorize... by example. He repeats himself, explains the concepts to a colleague, and compares the word with similar sounding words in a bit of a tongue twister to get used to the sounds. When you watch it over, the repetition helps as well. And since it's so short, you could study this for half an hour easily by connecting previous/outside knowledge. Very well done!!!

Thank you for this video. Now I can show to people the best sounding Japanese speakers.

This was a really witty idea and well executed. The acting, the editing, and the overall quality was outstanding. I would have loved to have seen some of the behind-the-scenes if there were any.

Every salad needs some beef and you just served it to us gracefully. Thank you.

Its just like a 日本 version of a unwritten big bang theory episode. That was great.

Beautiful collab, I also loved how this wasn't full Japanese, but half English half Japanese. It really makes the video realistic haha

Wasn’t expecting this at 3 AM but it’s definitely welcome haha

This was hilarious! Laugh out loud funny. I love how Matt became more dramatic sounding as the skit went on. This was kinda like a real life anime the way you two fought over such bizzaro things back and forth. Great content!

完璧だ!　i wish I could give this two thumbs up!

That ん、知ってるんし while looking it up got me laughing 😂😂👍🏽 you are a comedic genius

Yes, these were wonderful tips. There is no way that I would forget a word again.

Always great to see you two together!

I showed this to my grandpa with dementia, it was so helpful he started remembering every english word he has forgotten.

Thank you for this! The tips really worked and now I can memorize any new Japanese word!

Thanks for the tips! The second method works the best for me! I've finally managed to memorize my Japanese dictionary along with the pitch accents :)

The kanji for horse 馬 was randomly in my dream....am I doing this right

I learned a new word from this, so it worked. Didn't know 語彙力 beforehand.

個人的に選↓んだんだよのアクセント合ってると思うけどな。でも状況によっては選↑んだになることもあるっぽい。後ろに名詞が続く場合とか。一応辞書には選↓んだと載ってる

While the rest of you were laughing, I’ve been studying this rigorous, 効果的 and empirical method. Please use this summary of my meta analysis. I think it is especially suitable for training in becoming Japan’s next hokage: 1. Upon encountering a new vocab, pause what you are doing and mutter it under your breath repeatedly and as much as possible schizophrenically to commit it to memory, especially in the middle of conversation since that’s when it is most likely to slip away (0:15). 2. Make associations between like terms and seek to understand their nuances in order to use them most 適当に, such as the difference between 鬱 and 絶望. 3. Often, it is necessary to incite petty arguments in order to draw out useful tangential information that you had just forgotten (1:27). To this end it is morally and ethically permissible to do so. お疲れ様!

Dude, I was sitting with the stupidiest grin all video. That was amazing, ty guys

I have these exact conversations about semantics with my brother-in-law. We love messing with each other.

Pov: you are in class, the teacher is gonna teach a new, interesting lesson but like usual the two smart kids spend the whole class flexing; resulting to you never learning anything again, like usual.

細すぎワロタ ｢語彙力の鍛え方｣って言うと｢記憶力のあげ方｣みたいな感じでしょうか。単語をすぐ覚えられて忘れにくくするように頭を鍛える方法って気がします。

ここまで流暢だとは… すごすぎます

I learned more with this video than in the past 3 years!

めっちゃすき😂🍣🍣🍣

Maaaan these guys🙆🏾‍♂️makes you want to learn even harder🙌

These two guys in conversation: "This isn't even my final form."

「語彙力の鍛え方」と言う単語を教えてくれてありがとうございます

This was hysterical!

Loved it 🥰🥰🥰!!!

The part where Dogen looks up the thing in the dictionary right before exclaiming that he already knows that is the reason i dont trust any net "expert" lolol

I forget every new word so of this works for me it will be life changing

Legit didn’t watch the video right away because I thought it was super in-depth and informative and I was too lazy for that, and then I finally watch it and get this

単語の覚え方/語彙力の鍛え方は分からなかったけど面白かったから良し！笑

単語の覚え方… いや、語彙力の鍛え方知りたかったのに😔😥

I've missed these advanced Japanese lessons so much.

This is amazing

This was amazing.

I was literaly studying japanese when this video came out xD ありがとございます

Wow! That was awesome! You guys rock!

The top 1 way to learn/memorize any information is recall training This has been thoroughly studied and revered as the most efficient way to teach, our school systems are horrible, inefficient, and outdated, But they did succeed in getting most people good at things most people aren't naturally good at (math, writing, for example.) This is reading information, then answering a question that forces you to recall the information This is why tests, well, exist. This is why flashcards are so popular This is why learning a language in its own country is considered the most effective method, These put you in situations where your brain decides the information is important enough to store. This has a nice effect of causing you to become more efficient at the same task as well. The more kanji you learn, the easier kanji becomes. The more you do anything the easier it becomes, now we have muscle memory, which is achieved through repetition So recall, and repeat. That's all you need. Everything else is extra credit, not super effective but still adds to your quality. Lastly, I think videos that "teach you how to learn" are parasitic in nature, as they keep you looking for more answers but you haven't put away the screen to spend months applying the teachings

どうげんさんの重箱の隅をつついていくスタイル大好きです😂😂😂😂😂

私は100％純粋の日本人です。二人の日本語はやはりどこか変です。二人で話しているような音声学のルールは少なくとも日本人は誰も知りません。 私は英語学んでいますが、音声学ではなく、ネイティブを真似て、フィードバックで矯正するディープラーニングで習得しています。

Japanese people will not be so aggressive with correcting mistakes, so we foreigners have to compensate by chopping down each other’s hopes and dreams so that one day we may be closer to complete fluency

てか、語彙力の鍛え方まったく教えてないじゃんかｗ ますます興味深くなりました （これ正しいの？）ｗｗ

When the two smartest people argue in class

「buで終わる動詞は平板、「選ぶ」がその例外」とか全く意識したことなかったな すごい

Matt’s “tch” really made this one of the best anime fights of all time

本のタイトルとして... ①「単語の覚え方」...誰にもわかるし、ストンと落ちる(どこに?)。 ②「語彙力の鍛え方」...かなり、挑戦的(お前にできるかよ?)。 どちらが売れるかというと.... 自分を鍛えなければならないと思っている若者は多いと思うので、「鍛え方」に軍配が上がる。

すごい面白い！笑 外国人同士で日本語競ってるんですね！ネタなの分かってるけどwww

からかってる時のマットの表情が良い。

Outstanding video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.

From it being a Dōgen video and only being 1:45 long I expected this to be a sketch. Didn't expect it to be a fight though.

In my opinion, use the spaced repetition method which keeps words remembered for long term instead of short term

Man, I've been doing this wrong the whole time! I've been trying to correct my own Japanese, but really I needed to be correcting other people's Japanese.
