@@mitsimitsii I know so many fluent bilingual kids, and kids who are learning a second language. It feels like they have the advantage, where others around them are learning, too, so they always have someone to practice with. They "have" to learn it for school, or they just have more time. It's easy to feel like, as an adult, maybe you've missed your opportunity to learn another language. So to hear that gave me a lot of hope. If you're on the younger side, that absolutely does not mean you're stuck learning a language for longer! ❤️ You have an opportunity to be consistent, to ask others for clarification and for help, to practice with those around you. You have the choice to be as proficient as you want with a language, and you have years to put it into practice. I'd say that years of experience speaking a language - when understood correctly and used consistently - will trump the ability to understand grammar. I believe kids often learn their second language more naturally than adults. 🙂

It sure is difficult in the beginning, but for me after learning it for a while, it now seems mostly logical and I've started to notice how it all fits together. Most irregular forms are shared by multiple words, so in the end when you've learned a good amount of irregular forms, it gets easier. They aren't so irregular as they feel at the start. Sure, I make some der die das errors all the time but even that starts to feel intuitive at some point.

"Comprehensible input" is a very important idea and it corresponds perfectly to my experience learning English as well. When I got to a point where I could watch films, sitcoms, and listen to audiobooks and understand a decent part of what was happening, learning started going a lot faster.

This is spot on. It took me years of learning Chinese to understand how deep the rabbit hole actually goes when it comes to learning a language. It literally never ends, unless you dont want to learn anymore.

My personal short hand for japanese; - Learn hiragana/katakana first and vocab - Hiragana is native japanese writing - Katakana is for foreign words and are usually pronounced mostly the same as we'd say in English although it's best to keep in mind that japanese doesnt have certain letters that exist in english, so it's best to pronounce it with a japanese accent to get things across smoothly. Televi being Tere-bi for example - Kanji is short-hand, they use chinese characters to represent ideas concepts and things. Instead of spelling out television you'd say TV for example. This is functionally the same and used to break apart sentences and make out clearly what you're saying. So to review; - Hiragana is most of what you'll be writing in. - Katakana is for foreign words introduced to japan - Kanji is a form of shorthand. With this alone you can see that it'd be optimal to learn hiragana/katakana since that's what you'll be learning most of the time, and then as you learn vocab dedicate some time to learning Kanji so that you can shorten the amount that you're writing hiragana/katakana. Sentence structure is subject - object - verb - adjective. So instead of: I own a room in that apartment. You'd say something along the lines of: The room in that apartment, I have ownership. For the most part you can make English comparisons because it's not all too different, like: That apartment, I own a room. You want to consider the subject first and then say whatever it is you're going to say about that subject afterwards.

I'm a Spanish speaker and i have some advantage because almost all the sounds are the same as my language. One thing that is difficult to me (aside the Z sound and tsu sound) is the fact that in Spanish you can order the sentences like in japanese but not always, my head says to me "do it in that way" but that way is wrong most of the time. The structure's sentence is maybe with Z, Tsu sounds and Kanji the thing most harder about Japanese language to me.

I love this guy. He's great.

Your english explanation is very fluent and soothing!! Of course very useful too. I enjoy studying japanese, and I'm happy to find your channel which is soothing, fun & useful at once!!!

The biggest challenge is maintain your initial motivation. You need to find something that makes you want to learn, otherwise you'll quit. Motivation needs to be consistent, not given in large bursts. I get a lot of motivation from wanting to read untranslated Japanese books, and play untranslated Japanese video games. These are things that are a consistent desire, so I never want to stop. Another problem is getting too motivated. If you approach learning a new language with a "fuck yeah, lets do this. I'm gonna totally do like an hour a day or something" then you'll start to get unmotivated, and it'll get worse every time you encounter a hurdle. I sufferered from gradual burnout on my first Japanese attempt, and eventually figured out that I need to make learning a cozy experience so that I don't scare myself off. Starting small may see counter-productive, but in the long run, you'll be the more successful one compared to someone who goes all in at the start.

Yes, there are only two irregular verbs (hooray) but let's not forget that they are 来る (to come) and する (to do). する must be used to the ending of verbs derived from nouns like 勉強する （to study) 勉強 is a noun that means "the study" but if you want say "do study" you must use the suffix する and then conjugated in the modality, tense and active or passive. 来る is used to describe a movement towards the speaker so the sentence "Next week, bring the book as well." become 来週、教科書も持ってきてください。 持ってきて(+ください) --> verb "motsu" (hold in hand) + te form + kuru written in kana ( + kudasai). I always hear native speakers claiming that grammar is useless, but in my opinion it cannot be neglected if you intend to study a foreign language as adults (children learn very naturally for full immersion).

People think you have to be immersed all day to get enough input. But in reality ajatt is flawed. Now you can activley immerse for 2 hours a day. If time is allotted I mean. Then if you desire then do passive listening. Though eventually you have to get out there and practice what you have learned. Stephen Krashen and his school of thought, has books on all this. On how to aquire a language v learning one.

Technically wrote is the past tense and written is the past participle. You can say "I wrote a paper," but you can't say "I written a paper." You'd have to say "I had written a paper." ...Which I guess is just a whole other can of worms on its own, so your point still stands lol.

There is a lot of channels out there that teach people japanese, using mostly or only japanese. If you are at a semi decent level, you can get a lot of comprihensible input and grammar reinforcment from channels like 三本塾Sambon Juku. They tend also to speak slower and clearer, so it will be easier to understand than watching anime or tv shows.

I've been using the Remembering the Kanji series of books, which teach you by making you learn radicals rather than actual Kanji, and they let you learn what sound they make through the contexts of whatever you're reading rather than giving a standard pronunciation. They also have a book on learning Kana, and they all make you use the imaginative part of your brain rather to memorize instead of repeatedly writing over and over until you remember it. Did I mention that it teaches you to learn in a matter of weeks rather than years? *(Clarification below.)* Matt vs Japan made an entire video on how great of a series this is, and I agree. Definitely give it a watch. *Edit:* For people calling me out on the "learn in weeks" bit, I agree. My point is that the course teaches you on a 4-6 week time scale, but learning Kanji is a lifelong journey, even for native speakers. I'm not saying this is a miracle "master all 2000± Kanji in your sleep" deal, I'm just saying it gets you going faster. Instead of making you learn the shapes, you learn the structures that make them up. That makes learning future shapes easier, saving you time. I'm sorry if I made it sound like "the last Japanese book you'll ever need" with that statement. Hope this clears this up.

I love these books exactly because they explain how kanji are made and with knowing the logic it becomes so much easier to learn. But I wouldn't say it teaches within a matter of weeks, at least not for most people. You might be able to understand it quickly, but it takes practice to remember everything long term, so unless you're surrounded by it or a rare genius it takes longer than a few weeks to really be able to write and read enough correctly for daily living in Japan.

English speaking people can tell the difference between 'a' sounds and 'o' with our ears just fine. The problem is we generally speak lazily and people get it because it generally doesn't change the words we hear. Where it WILL change the meaning, we manage to convey the proper word just fine: think "not" versus "note." The bit with kawaii versus kowai comes from the unwritten sound schwa, written phonetically as "ə" and is the soft vowel sound that is neither a Japanese 'a' nor 'o' but a sound not in Japanese, generally written as "uh". If we make a substitution for a vowel sound, it will be to insert that one. It is so common, it can be the sound for every English vowel. Here is a list of each vowel being a 'ə' sound: If we're saying "the" without emphasis, the 'e' is a 'ə'; The 'a' in "about" is a 'ə'; the 'i' in "pencil" is a 'ə'; the second 'o' in "common" is a 'ə'; the 'u' in supply is a 'ə'. So, when we say kawaii or kowai and it sounds off, what's really happening is we're saying kəwai which is neither kawaii nor kowai. I guess it sounds closer to kowai, so it will generally come across that way.

Among all Latin languages, Romanian (very likely Portuguese as well) has not only the schwa sound but a letter assigned to it. It looks like this: "ă". This is one of the 8 vowels in Romanian language. Yes...8 🙂 Anyways...in contrast to English, Romanian as Spanish, is kinda 99% a phonetical language. The way you pronounce it is the way you write it down.

This video is motivating. Breaking it down like you do really doesn't make it seem so difficult (which it probably still is, but it makes it easier to start).

Hpfumu . . . Thanks for the video! It lights up a lot of things, even I watched a 3-7 video already about how to learn Japanese. Thx again!

I've been watching Yuta for years and I'm still amazed by his ability to explain these things. Also his English is amazing. He's teaching his language, using another language which he had to learn. That's mind boggling to me. In fact, I just think learning any other language is incredible.

Like literally. I'm on the part 2 right now. The point is that it is very useful as a base.

Use みなの日本語 along with watching anime/movies/videos, listening to the various podcasts, that's all.

I personally think it's an amazing textbook. Yes, maybe it doesn't give you super natural Japanese conversations - but you can go to drama and anime for that. the one thing the textbook is not good at is teaching kanji. But overall I find that the Japanese suck at teaching kanji. They spend an inordinate amount of time on the placing of a component (all these hen or kanmuri) which frankly don't matter. Instead it's one hundred times easier to just take a chinese textbook or even wiki and learn the radicals (where they also conveniently give you the name and the history and not just the number). Also, no attention to pitch accent, alas. But this is a problem for all the textbooks I think.

I'm currently learning Japanese (With your program:)), and I cant stress the importance of watching Japanese youtubers. It seems like a very small tool, but seriously, whatever hobby or passion you have find a Japanese youtuber who makes content about that. I'm a car guy, I love to work on and modify cars. so watching Japanese car youtubers is great for me because I have a deep understanding of the subject mater in the video so I can take that knowledge I already have and use it to help me understand the language being spoke in the video. I find it to be such a great tool because you're much more immersed in the content since (language aside) you care or are passionate about the subject mater of the video

It's always nice when you meet someone that knows your language. There's a kind of implicit consideration for the other that people really welcome. Great channel btw! I'm hooked on it.

Wow, I just registered to your lessons and I'm so excited to learn with you. It's very generous of you to do it for free. Thank you so much! Cheers!

"You will get there!" Thank you for your encouragement!

I've basically finished part 2, so today I ordered my first fully Japanese book. Already really excited for it. But I think translating from your native language to Japanese is just as important as the other way around, which is why I started translating books to Japanese. I am currently working on a book for reading beginners (simple, short sentences), but it really helps with understanding how the sentence structure and grammar works.
