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 😅

    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.

    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...😅
