Hitoki-san, thank you for this tremendously helpful video in which we get to hear dialogue! Perhaps this would seem like a strange request, but do you think it would be possible for you to share the Japanese subtitles in a Word file or Google doc online for your subscribers like myself? I'm guessing you already have the file somewhere since those subtitles seems to be manually typed instead of auto-translated by KZread, so hopefully it won't be too much work to upload them somewhere...? The reason for making this request is that I (and perhaps others) actually pause the video and handwrite the subtitles so I can properly study the way the grammar/language is used. I've found this method extremely helpful in improving my Japanese. Hope you can consider it!

I just finished the video and learned that he studied five hours a day six times a week plus the time that he spent studying in school. That is absolutely amazing and I don’t think I could ever have the self control to study that much that consistently. (I don’t even think I can watch anime for 30 hours a week. He’s honestly so amazing)

It helps a little bit that he's Korean, I think. Even though the languages probably aren't actually related, I've heard there are a lot of similarities between Japanese and Korean as far as grammar and cultural concepts go. It's a little more like an English-speaker learning another European language than an English-speaker learning Japanese. It's definitely still impressive, but don't feel too bad it - he had an advantage over most people learning Japanese.

@nayade4032

I'm sure he did put a lot of hard work in it, but you also have to consider that Korean and Japanese grammar are veeery similar, so he probably didn't have to put much effort there, and both languages also share vocabulary background. Of course, he had to learn kanji like everyone else, but just don't compare yourself to someone who didn't start with the same backgroud as you :3 (I wish I could pass N1 in such a short period of time tbh)

5 plus hours a day for a year and a half, learning at a young age, with Korean as your native language. Sounds like even after that kind of preparation, it was rough getting by at school and communicating. Just shows the scale of time commitment it takes to learn Japanese as an adult. It’s not for wimps!

Can we stop for a moment and appreciate that the video is translated to 18 languages ?😄 Thanks ... It was very helpful for me

WOW it's incredible how driven, hard working and ambitioushe is, he acts so humble. I can barely keep up with my course at university in my home country imagine going to a whole new country with a different language you dont event know to study there...and medicine at that! So impressive, wishing you all the best and lots of success!

all that people said is true, but I would also like to add that Korean and Japanese are rather similar due to the extensive contact of the two languages. The grammar is so similar you could basically translate formal sentences word per word, not to mention the number of cognates the languages have that they borrowed from China. So don't beat yourself too hard, being at an N5 level in a year is nothing to be ashamed of, if you persist with your studies and immersion, I'm sure you're going to surprise yourself in a couple of years with how much you know :))))))))

It doesn't help the fact that both nations are very nationalistic and tend to spread a lot of propaganda on TV.

I'm in Japan now through the same scholarship and I extremely recommend it if you guys are interested in coming to Japan. It's probably one of the best scholarships out there (if not the best). It's not a lot (around 12万円 per month, besides exemption from school taxes), but it's more than enough to cover all the expenses. Even if you're not confident about your Japanese, it's worth to try it!!

that's remind me with my youngest brother, he went to Japan last year for undergraduate degree, but it takes 2 years for him to pass University in Japan (though he was university student in public university in here). He applied MEXT twice but got rejected instead he got one from his current university. People know that MEXT scholarship for undergraduate was the hardest one to get, and not much people get that scholarship, especially in medical degree.

He's is so hardworking, studious and very determined foreign student... I admire him.

Great content and so informational. I can cofirm having the experience of "kokuhi ryuugaku" or the MEXT scholarship that that's about how the whole process works in Europe too. Great work guys!
