So typing in Japanese is rather complicated and I think many people think that learning Japanese is going to be super hard. But the good news is, speaking Japanese isn't actually that difficult. Of course, being fluent in any language takes time, but just start speaking Japanese can be surprisingly easy. So I made some free Japanese email lessons for you.

​@@Ythiro Katakana isn't *just* for foreign language. It's also used for: -Onomatopoeias and "atmosphere" words -Situations where legibility is important (many road markings are in katakana, because kanji and hiragana would be too difficult to make out, especially at speed). -Attracting attention attention (katakana is common in ads and some business names, as it tends to draw the eye) -Denoting "unusual" speech (in written works, people with unusual speaking patterns - like robots or very young children - sometimes have their speech spelled out in katakana to emphasize the "non-smooth" nature of their speech; the English equivalent would be SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS IN ALL CAPS). It does seem superfluous at first but, honestly, once you get used to it it's actually pretty useful.

Plus, many of them look pretty much the same in all scripts, so it's no effort to learn them (think of T, M, W, U, etc).

The real hard thing is adjusting that writing system to whichever language you want to write -- often that relies in a ton of conventions that must be learnt at some point, or simply intuition in most cases. In English there's a lot of different sounds associated to the same combinations of letters and that usually makes it hard for foreigners to learn it at first.

No one has really mentioned Spanish. Spanish from Mexico is especially easy because it is basically spelled the way it sounds with a couple extra letters that have special pronunciation (namely ñ). You just have to learn the pronunciation of the alphabet in Spanish and you can start reading right away. And when writing, even if you miss some accent marks, the idea still gets across because small errors don't completely change the meaning of a word.

Yo hablo Español y creo que lo más complicado de escribir en mi idioma es poner los acentos correctos en las vocales, pues "como" y "cómo" son dos palabras distintas y se puede dar una mala interpretación si no se usa el acento (cosa que casi nadie hace porque hasta cierto punto es redundante), también está el tema de la "h muda", en Inglés la h sí tiene un sonido característico, pero en Español se usa más que nada por tradición. Por último está el tema de las palabras con "qu", para un extrangero puede ser raro darse cuenta de que la "u" no suena, justo como la h. Todas las lenguas tienen sus particularidades y es divertido cuando te das cuenta de ellas :B

Yuta - I understand your dilemma, I am English and as you have realised in our language there is no single rule, the same word can sound different or mean different things depending on the context it is used in. The benefit of English however is how flexible it and you can often use the wrong words in a sentence and everyone will still understand what you mean, recently a man I work with asked "is you bourted that?" while pointing at something I owned, so I answered "yes, I bourted that" telling him that it was mine.

Usually when something is awkward or over-complex, some person figures out a simplification that is functional and faster. And then when other people see it, they too adopt the simplification. So my question is: Is written Japanese gradually _changing/evolving,_ because people find (and spread) simpler & faster ways of writing (on computer) - ways that still express their meaning? (I mean, something similar has certainly happened with English texting. But maybe in Japanese it happens even in non-abbreviated writing....)

This is fascinating! I know nothing about Japanese, but I'm a software developer and I'm looking into applying to a company whose client-facing website is in Japanese. So I started looking up things to learn about Japanese. I'd love your Japanese course!

In Febuary1974 I married a woman I met in Korea in October 1971. I started learning the Korean alphabet when I was stationed on Okinawa (Army enlisted) in 1973 and took trips to Korea to process the marriage paperwork. (I did not want to lean much Japanese to keep the languages from getting confused!) I took buses often in Korea, needing to read and understand the place I was headed, like the American Embassy and other government offices. In my opinion, Korean is an easy language to learn but in the 18 months I was on Okinawa, I only recognized the sound of one Japanese symbol! The laying down backward 'e' "の" (sounded out as 'no')! I'm still married and have learned much more Korean and am glad the written Korean language has 24 symbols to learn an is so much like English with it's 26 symbols! Thank you Yuta for your very good explanation of the three Japanese writing and speaking forms!

I majored in Japanese in college and this is the same typing method I used 5 years ago. At the time I believed that Japanese people used a keyboard with hiragana on the keys so when I moved there to teach English, I was shocked to learn that they typed the same way that I did. There are Japanese keyboards as well, but they're not all that different from the US qwerty ones. They have hiragana in addition to letters, but most people I met would ignore the hiragana characters. The T key has a か(ka) on it and the K has a の(no) so it's actually really confusing.

I have been to Japan twice, and last time I actually bought this kind of hiragana keyboard, thinking it would be useful. Not that expensive, btw, maybe ¥1,300 or something (?). The problem really is in learning another layout on top of the familiar qwerty. And since here in Finland we use a Scandinavian variant of the qwerty (with åäö + different positioning for a lot of special characters), I would be lost with those special characters since the hiragana keyboard follows the US setup for special characters. So in the end, it was a quaint souvenir but not that useful. On my iPad, I originally felt it would be better to learn to use a hiragana chart based input method but again the familiarity of qwerty trumps the savings in clicks that the hiragana chart would offer. It is simply so much faster just to type in rōmaji, see that converted into hiragana, and finally select the right kanji. Sounds complex though. (Btw, I am not yet proficient in Japanese so I don’t type a lot. But I am learning, slowly...)

@codywinter4818

I thought about buying some of the keys with hiragana on them for my keyboard but I realized its totally unnecessary and would just be a decoration because I already memorized the layout after using it a bit. After some practice its pretty natural to me now.

Irregular verbs being common makes it easier because it's basically drilled into your head. That, and they're remnants of how Old English formed the past tense by changing the vowel (irregular verbs), or the more common system of adding a "d", or "ed" to the end. The irregulars survived because people used them so much, or verbs could've been made irregular because they sound so weird with the system currently in use. I find English to be one of the easier European languages verb wise since it has so few conjugations, and many irregulars end with a "t", "d" and sometimes "k" in the present tense.

Rafael; English used to be incredibly complicated, but over time it simplified. I think of it as a merchants language, many European countries teach English as a mandatory second language (as in they have to learn English). I've come across several exchange students that express differing opinions about English, some had a difficult time, others found it very easy to learn. With Japanese, I think it could do with some simplification, but simplification may mean altering a deeply rooted language which is not easy. English evolved naturally into the language it is today, forcefully altering a language is not very easy, ask the Chinese, they've created Simplified Chinese, however many of the Chinese people continue to speak some other form of Chinese. With English however, once you understand or speak it, you can speak to just about everyone who speaks it since accents don't alter the meaning behind the words, another benefit is that a large portion of the developed world speaks English. If I recall the top 5 languages that they suggest to learn are English, Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin (Chinese basically), and I think Indian (someone will correct me).

I have been learning Japanese for 3 months now. I wanted to start typing. I could not figure out how Japanese people were doing this. Type, erase, type some more, erase some more, scream, try again. Success!. Then I watched the video and saw I was basically doing what you were saying happens. There was nothing wrong with my typing. There was nothing wrong with my keyboard. This is just Japanese life.

Have you used Google's IME?, I'm in my two months journey learning japanese albeit I already had an advantage because I was watching anime since I was a kid so some of the vocabularies are already familiar with me. But it clicked for me in just a few hours (I had to learn to type because of a language learning app that I use required me to type Japanese). I recommend using Google's IME, I heard it's what most Japanese people use too. When you select a word (convert from hiragana to kanji or katakana) it's ranked by most to least used according to google's own data and statistics based on what people type so you don't have to press tab a lot and go to the bottom.

I often get frustrated while trying to choose which kanji should I use because it's not my first l mother tongue. But at least Turkish (my own lang) has many similarities. For example Turkish writes just like romaji, so you use Roman alphabet and read as you write. But I wish our relationships between two countries be better and better. There are really few people who can teach Japanese from Turkish even though its really simple that way. So, do you know Japanese? Hiragana: はい Katagana: ハイ Romaji: hai Kanji: いいえ

After watching the nativlang Japanese videos on why it's so frustrating and seeing yuta ask Japanese to write common words in kanji, I don't understand how Japanese people have gotten as far as they have and haven't cut out the dead weight or revamp it somehow. Or at least add spaces to the words..it's frustrating for me to even think about. (It really seems like a joke, nothing against Japanese people, but the language/s ...it makes no sense to me to have so many and take so long... They can't even look at it and how it's supposed to be pronounced all the time... Even just consonants... (I'm learning Hebrew and the idea that I know after a year all the words in Hebrew that he asked them to write and I can read something without knowing what it means (if the vowels are added in, usually they're not, but I could still give you the consonants and guess the root word), but they usually can't do either of those things with their native language...

Of course, there are also a bunch of exceptions that are prunounced differently for no reason, but they're fun too. :D

I think the method described in the video is less difficult than typing Traditional Chinese. ( I don't type in simplified one ,so idk how to type simplified Chinese ) First of all, in Taiwan ,we use a thing called "注音" (Zhuyin) to type Chinese words ,so it's really difficult to type Chinese without a specific kind of keyboard which has Zhuyin on it. Furthermore, Chinese does have some word having exact same pronunciation ,but different meaning ,such as : 城市( city ) , 程式 ( program ), 成事 ( achieve something ) , 乘勢( idk how to say it in English ). Those 4 words all have same pronunciation. May be you think those are the problems mentioned in the vid , but "every" Chinese characters have their own meanings. So sometimes you mistype a single character , people might misunderstand or even get offended. Especially, you're arguing with someone in the YT comment sections. they will think you're dumb just because you can't even type words properly. there's more. when we type a sentence, we need to select each characters for correct one ,if the auto selecting system randomly give you the wrong one. the last one is forgetting to change back to Chinese keyboard. For example : if I wanna text my friend that "I'm gonna go out and buy breakfast" ,the sentence will look like this " ji3ul4uv0 fm4a93yl3h0 "

Hi, I just discovered this video. Italian, my language, is not too hard to type on italian keyboard, but there are some minor problems due to a bad initial design of the italian keyboard: all uppercase accented wowels are missing. They are rarely used because you don't usually write uppercase sentences. With one exception: uppercase È is the only accented wowel used at the beginning of a sentence. So you have to use ALT+0200 to type it on windows, shift+alt+e on Mac, or improperly write as E followed by an aphostrophe.

As a Japanese person, I disagree. Japanese typing isn't harder or more complicated than Latin-based typing, it's just different. I actually find typing in Japanese useful because I can search for symbols, special characters, and even emojis with the conversion tool. The only thing English has that I wish Japanese had too is spellcheck/autocorrect. Japanese (and probably Chinese) _typewriting_ was a beast because you couldn't print the thousands of characters using 26 keys. But on modern devices, it's really not a problem. Yes, Japanese has many homophones and you have to choose the right characters. But in most cases, the one you're looking for is one of the top options. And with practice, you get a sense of where is a good place to convert the phrase to give you the characters you want. The example he gave around 2:30 is one of the more extreme cases; not every word (*word, not syllable) has dozens of possible kanji. And you often get suggestions before you've even finished typing the phrase (kinda like how Gmail will sometimes complete sentences for you, but you get ~3 options instead of 1). Yes, it's sometimes annoying when you make a typo and the conversion doesn't work and you have to restart. But you don't need to restart _every time_ you make a mistake; you _can_ press backspace or go back and edit later, just like in English. Typing names or words with unusual readings can be annoying, yes. But most computers and mobile keyboards have dictionary tools where you can add custom words and their readings. I've actually heard of people using this to their advantage by adding template phrases in the dictionary so that they can get it up just with one or two characters. I understand the complaint he made about shortcut keys not working when the keyboard is in Japanese because I've done it many times too, but you really can't expect the computer to read your mind. Just switch to English and you're good (plus, I'm sure this isn't unique to the Japanese keyboard). TLDR; Japanese typing is not slower or harder or somehow inherently worse than typing in English or other Latin-based languages. They are different and there are good things about both. And they work with their respective languages. This really feels like a case of internalised Japanese inferiority and trying to say what Japanese learners want to hear. It sucks that so many people are taking this as fact.

This is why the Japanese are smart. They are exposed to learning crazy difficult stuff since children.

@@qantaz2496 I'm not too informed about it, but now they say there are different types of intelligence. For example, it's not the same being a genius mathematician than a genius painter, as they both are specialized in completely different fields and would probably have a hard time doing the same things the other can do. Of course, it's a lot more complex than that, with a lot of other concepts being taken into account like social skills, musical sensibility, language skills, etc. They say IQ is an obsolete concept now because it tries to sum up a person's entire set of skills into just a number, which in reality doesn't say much about a person.

Although I've studied Japanese for some time, I'm still fascinated by "we" and "wi" in Hiragana.

This video pretty much sums up, why I stopped learning Japanese 18 years ago, after learning on the second page of the text book that counting pencils uses different numerals than counting erasers, just because... I'm from Germany and seeing German written without Umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and the infamous Eszett (ß) feels weird. I mean; the Swiss do fine without the letter »ß« for about a 100 years, now, but still... Ä, Ö, and Ü are short forms of Ae, Oe and Ue; the trema (the dots) developed from writing the e over the vowel (in ancient German writing); originally the dots looked more like »"«. ß is a ligature of ſs or ſz, representing a double-s (ss). ß is officially a lower case letter only (please don't use »B« as substitute for »ß«, write »ss«; it's fine); but for several usage a upper case letter »ẞ« was created recently. Except for names, the usage is based on the stress put on the vowel directly before the ſs since the orthography-reform of 1996 (except for Switzerland; as said, the don't use it anymore).

I think it’s the same with a lot of languages that uses an Alphabet script I presume. It’s either add extra letters or have the system English has where instead of using accent marks we just spell things differently.

You can write in 3 forms of Japanese, AND speak English. It's amazing that you haven't lost your mind. Quite impressive.

hiragana is mostly used for prefix and suffix particles.

in portuguese(Brazil) we use accents. obviously it's not difficult, it just takes time in phrases like "você não quer ir à farmácia?", "você fará uma bênção no sótão." or "o cérebro é um órgão."

歯が遺体　the teeth are corpse (dead body) 行方不明の痛い the missing of pain two sentence above have 1 word that are homonyms, itai. itai have 2 meaning, pain and corpse, so sometimes u have to carefully change the word on the keyboard, i did write the sentence above wrong on purpose so u can see that typing in japanese need high of concentration🤣🤣🤣🤣

God, I don't speak Japanese, but I know a bit about japanese structure, and I always thought how it worked in a keyboard, and it is actually harder than I thought it was...

Well, I'm Czech and we use Latin alphabet (luckily), but it's one of the harder languages and for some reason has 42 letters, 41 of which are actually separate leters (because "ch" is technically a letter too). So even though we use a pretty standard QWERTZ keyboard, all number keys and many other keys have some special character like ř, ů or ý under shift and some aren't there at all, using a separate ˇ or ´ sign written before letters like ó or ň, which don't have their own key for they're the lesser used ones.

2:29 I thought to start learning Japanese, but it knocked out not only a desire, but also a tears from my eyes.

Japanese characters do not exist. katakana is an from ancient Korean silla(At that time, monks used abbreviation Chinese characters. call me hangul 신라구결. You can find it in Google Images. silla is the closest region to Japan.), hiragana is brought from China cursive script. This is similar to the Russian Cyrillic alphabet history coming from Greece.

@@testname4464French, Spanish and Italian are considered Latin, if you look at ancient Latin versus Spain, France and Italy (modern), then you'd see that a lot of it is the same, or VERY close, while English is West Germanic along with German and Dutch. Inside of these language groups though, the languages are slightly-very different though. (With English being the furthest from the Germanic languages, honestly deserving of its own sub category within Germanic). VieViaPaVira made a better argument, but yours is still valid.

I speak spanish as well as english, and, while the accent's over certain letters aren't super important, Sometimes they're still needed to determine the meaning of words. (ex. tomo = I take, tomó = he or she took). I use an autohotkey script to use my right shift+the letter to put an accent over it. I never really even used the right shift at all, so it's a good solution for me.

Damn I literally just put stickers on my keyboard to learn the kana layout. Isn't it faster to use that input method instead of typing romaji? For most syllables you just need to press one key instead of two (except for things like zu, de, pi which require an additional key to add the marks) I love the flick kana keyboard on my phone, it's super intuitive and requires you to press a lot fewer buttons
