Interview With TkyoSam (Full Version)
Giant thanks to Sam! Go check out his channel (link below). Due to time zone differences, we ended up filming this in the middle of the night (for me), so as you can probably tell, I was pretty tired 😅

Lmao this is the most complementing mean comment ive ever seen
"I'm just staying black..." first answers and I'm already dead.
This guy is the living definition of "all over the place". In _every_ sense.
Damn this guy really grew on me

Great following this one! Would have never have thought of you and Sam in the same video! Solidifies a lot of the things I'm doing rn and I wish the best to anyone in the Japanese studying journey.
What a good video. Tkyosam, Matt and Khatz are the holy trinity of ajatt
Thanks for uploading the full version =)
It took all of 0:23 seconds for this interview to go off the rails and stay off the rails lol
Matt you should translate the AJATT Table of Contents
34:30 Haha yeah, I do that as well. "How did you learn Japanese?!" - "Well, I really liked (weird niche Japanese thing like meiji era stock exchange market), so I just read a lot about that" or "I don't know, I just tried talking to Japanese people last year and somehow got better at the language". It's always a lot of fun to hear the reactions.
This interview is still gold
WATASHIWA is the most important part of Japanese
Excellent interview! Sam is such a character, and I mean it in the best way 👍
I thought the other version was funny but I'm so glad I decided to watch this one as well. So interesting to hear the experience of an AJATTer who's lived in Japan for so long. This was much more fun to watch, in a different way.
Thank for posting Matt...love you Sam

oooh! i even bought the kanji poster back then, that thing was awesome
Tkyosam is tangent the man, love it!
how do we study the anki tango decks? Like, what method should we use.. what answer buttons do we press
DUDE oh my god I stopped telling people I waited 2 years to speak because of the weird reactions I got. Like jesus christ is it that weird to wanna be able to have an actual conversation???? You need 2 players for キャッチボール lol.

@0000 Z Well, I didn't really talk to a whole lot of people about it, but most people just didn't believe me. There is this idea ingrained in a lot of people's minds that you get good at a language by conversing.

I went to language school in Japan and had my first legit conversation in Japanese after 3 months. After 6 months or 1 year you can totally have 1-on-1 conversations, you just won't be talking in a natural way.
Thank you!!
I stopped learning Japanese when I joined the military. I'm just trying to get my motivation back now after months, but it's so hard to find decent amounts of time under current circumstances. I miss Japanese most of all, did anybody else manage to reach conversational whilst not having quite as much time. I regret my decision a somewhat.

Might be late commenting (2 years i know i'm sorry)I started while in the military and still am. For about a year now, it's draining keeping my shit together and keep going but you can for sure still do it. You have free time right? Now japanese owns that time. I just try and fill the gaps when not working with doing japanese study. I got a good routine now of about half an hour to an hour a day of active study and the rest being passive or semi passive listening. I'll do anki reps when i wake up in the morning (takes like 10 mins at most) put on japanese news in the background while i get ready and so on. I'll do some memrise vocab lessons while on lunch breaks which takes only a few mins of your time. Outside of work i'm in an immersion environment wherever possible. After about a year i can understand a lot of spoken japanese and have some semi decent conversations with natives. Reading i'm still working on because i still don't know enough kanji but i'll get there. The point isn't really about the method, just try and keep consist and don't lose motivation, even if it's a small amount a day it's better than doing nothing at all.
Is khatz still in Japan?
Thank you guys for spreading truths about how to really learn languages at a very high level..without using conformity and the usual shit..🇮🇹
I really liked this.
Absolute unit
never heard of ajatt before, seems interesting!- but do you still learn like active vocabulary during the day? (anki or something)- because if you dont know the word you hear, how should you ever know the true meaning?
What's up Ralphie May !! thought you were dead
Cool!
Tkyo Sam is fucking hilarious
This dude is hilarious, how did matt manage to keep a straight face the wholetime XD 12:00
I'm 57 years old, I bet if a scan was done they'd say my brain was like that of a 30-something. Why? I always study languages, even if you never get fluent, your brain is working out. But fluency is so sweet, but it takes work. (English, Spanish, Cherokee, a smattering of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Tagalog, German, French etc) I'm gearing up for super serious study in Japanese, slowly turning it up, day by day.

Hey Matt, I study translation and interpretation at college and work as a freelance translator on the side. I just wanted to let you know that it is not necessary to have absolute perfect language abilities in order to do good translations. Most professional translators work from a source language (foreign language) into a target language (native language) and use special translation software. Having a good general understanding of your source language (especially in your area of expertise, i.e. economics, technology, medicine) is enough, because you don't actually have to write or speak in it.

Communicative learning seems to have better and faster results. Making exercises with neuner C and D attributes gives the students the opportunity to use life experience and developed skills to learn more. Also learn about the way they learn, through the communicative approach.. i tried ajatt a long time ago and i know if was more motivated back then i would be able to understand japanese now... better late than never...😅
Interesting, Matt is Jewish just like I predicted..
