The difficult parts are the kataka ones. While I listen I think they are words that I'm missing but all of them end up being things like "afternoon tea" 🫠 The rest was easy although a bit difficult for me because I haven't really practiced since I passed the N5 exam.

@@simongonzalez1617 Hey as a more advanced learner I can tell you it actually gets easier as people speak faster when it comes to katakana words! a-fu-ta-nu--n ti- is hard to recognise, but faster it sounds like aftanu-n ti- and it’s way more obvious haha

What surprises me is that I actually understand everything easily. I mean, sure, I play lots of japanese TCG like union arena and OPTCG, and both are using japanese cards here in asia region, but I expected myself at some really low beginner level. The only reason why I can read and translate japanese cards is because they use furigana on top of all kanji after all. I suspect that this isn't the actual test for N5. I can't be that good. And of course, I suck at speaking.

Yooooo! I just realized that I'm not translating as much in my head, I can just understand what is being said. I'm far from being able to speak Japanese and even farther from organizing the sentence structure correctly, but I understand the words that she is saying. Out of order, yes, but I can infer what is being said. For those who are having a hard time writing and listening to Japanese "speak out of order" compared to English, it starts to make sense after a while. It's taken me 2 years of non serious studying to finally get past understanding the sentence order. I don't worry about translating the sentence in my head; I just listen for what I understand now.

@johnlawrencetamio4381

Ай бұрын

Same here. I was like "Why can't I translate it?" even though I understood most of it. Then I realized it's because the translation is reversed! Translating Japanese to English requires you to listen to the whole sentence before you can start translating it since the translation is often right to left, otherwise your translation will be "out of order" just as you said. Trust me, if you want to be able to understand Japanese, translating is unnecessary unless you want to be a translator or an Interpreter. Whatever you are doing, keep doing it because that's what I call natural acquisition. 2 years is a long time and you are on the right path. Just a friendly advice, if you are not studying seriously, try to study N4 or N3 grammar from time to time. It helps in sentence construction and future understanding. Also, don't forget immersion. いつか、必ず日本語を理解できるようになりますように。 一生懸命頑張りましょう！

@@burjalmadre yes exactly. except you don't need speaking practice until much later unless you are just trying to learn real fast for a tourist trip. You also dont really need to focus on writing, but it does help to learn to write maybe 50-100 kanji just to really notice the components. spaced repetition with vocab for sure. looking up grammar along the way

I really like the English subtitles. Sometimes when I'm using a program to learn Japanese, the English translations are "what they mean to say" vs what they literally just said in Japanese. I get they want the English to be more like what a native English speaker would say, but It can be confusing and it slows down the learning process for me. So I appreciate your subtitles actually say what you're saying in Japanese. I hope that made sense.

It's amazing how much slowing down the speaking speed eases understanding. Of course, the vocabulary was also basic with lots of loan words, but i could understand everything the first time. Increasing the vocabulary level at slow speed would be very helpful.

Thank you very much! My method of learning is mostly auditory, however I couldn't do that at all for N5, because there wasn't a single video on it on KZread. Probably because the spec feels so small. However I'm forever greatful that you made this video, finally I can learn without having to force myself to use the old cover and write method for every word.

Thanks a lot!! Very helpful❤️

I realized quite fast that: If i don't pay that close attention i don't understand But if i focus i do mostly understand what's being said, which defently opened my eyes a bit since i learned words from just listening to other words i already knew. Thanks :D

1:32 : Yaay 🎉🥳, I understood all of it ~ ! Then again, I'm probably on N3 level. But I haven't really done much any listening practice, other than visiting Japan on a few occasions. Listening is definitely underrated! Sensei should definitely do more of these 🫡!

This video made me so happy! I had Japanese class for 2 semesters in college almost 9 years ago. I wasn’t sure if I would still understand this but I did! I had trouble hearing Dubai though. Aside from that, I was able to understand everything else on the first listen! ❤ Thinking of picking up Japanese again so this is very useful. Just subscribed! 🌟

thank you so much for this video! it help me to recognize my level easily

I really like that you speak and present your video in such a clear way! It’s really good for people who are learning. With fast natural speech, it can be really hard to grasp what is being said. Of course it’s the goal to understand it… but it can make me feel like my Japanese is worse than it is. If it’s spoken clearly like this it’s perfect to see exactly if I can understand or not 😊

Really great format thanks! I understood most of it but the subtitles helped me figure out my mistakes or learn new words I haven't acquired

This so cool. Thank you for the video
