It’s hard to stay motivated when you’re trying to learn a new language. However, I’ve learned that by combining your entertainment time and your language learning time, this is an easy way to stay motivated as a language learner. I personally like to use Immersive Translate to generate subtitles to my KZread and Netflix, and that’s how I’ve been learning Vietnamese, my target language. I’ve already learned a lot so far, which is really great.
that’s great! i agree with everything you said :) good luck on your journey ! i’ll try out that subtitles technique
There are so many resources out there, but not all of them work for everyone. For me, what’s worked the best is Immersive Translate. It’s a browser extension that supports over 100+ languages. I personally use it to translate webpages and documents, and even to watch my shows and movies on Netflix every day, which has really helped me integrate myself in my target language. It’s been very helpful so far, and I couldn’t be happier.
Can you give a feedback about italki?
sure ! i’m making a video about that soon, but i can tell you a few things: - you can choose community or professional tutors, i think community tutors are cheaper but still give quality lessons - the teachers will give their qualifications in their description - you can always switch teachers depending on your needs - teachers have their own prices, as in, they differ between teachers - it’s pretty convenient from my side, i would really recccomend it. - you can also get in touch with other learners around the world and do quizzes
what is the background music in your outro?

Allahumma barik, your progress in Japanese is really good, it’s a language I want to learn as well. Keep up the good work! Btw try swapping out the music for another audio or go without. Your video has much benefit and I want for my sis what I’d want for myself hence not utilizing music due to impermissibility
Jazakallah for the reminder, i no longer use music while i talk in my videos if you check my recent ones :).i hope you’ll also try learning japanese in the future!
Well done! Immerse yourself in a language for me is the best way to learn that language, thank you for the video it's very inspiring for me ❤.
that’s great!
Great suggestions, I used some of these but your information is extremely helpful! Thank you so much!! 😊
glad to hear :)
Thanks for sharing, it helps a lot if you're learning without friends/ attending class. At this point, I've only used duolingo. It helped with my memorization of the character chart. I printed some hira writing worksheets too. Ps. You're very well spoken in this vid 💯
that’s cool! i think duolingo is cool for learning hiragana 👍 i would not reccomend it for normal lessons though 😅😅
Thank you for sharing this content with us!
Good job! Wish luck with Japanese, I`m currently learning Chinese.
thank you! i’m also learning chinese, are you learning mandarin or cantonese, or something else? :)
@@nias_nook I’m learning Mandarin. I had an experience learning with a tutor. But then had a long break from learning it, so now want to refresh my knowledge and keep learning by myself. Although I’m worried about my pronunciation
@@user-fz7db4ls3i ahh i see! hey no worries, i can reccomend something for enhancing your pronounciation. you can listen to a bunch of podcasts or just people speaking in mandarin. soon you’ll start adapting your speech to the ways of natives like that. i think that can help :) maybe also practice speaking out loud or find a mandarin speaker friend online !
@@nias_nook Thank you for your tips. I’ll try. Did you take HSK already?
@@user-fz7db4ls3i the test? no i haven’t, i might in the future though!!
Omg I love daily Japanese with naoko! I love that she puts the Japanese caption and repeats words. Her videos are well structured. I also recommend “miku real Japanese” she has a ton of grammar lesson plus she has conversations for listeners!
for sure! thanks for the reccomend action, i’ll check her out
@@nias_nook I hope you can find her channel helpful throughout your language journey
don’t be shy to share your experiences and thoughts below too! I really appreciate connecting and hearing from other learners too <3
❤❤❤❤❤
hi! I just started learning Mandarin too. Around the same time you did actually. But I want to say don't forget to give yourself credit. It's amazing that you finished HSK 1! That is still a great accomplishment. Congrats!
i appreciate it! thanks, and good luck on your studies too :)
its not, u can pass hsk1 exam after a month of learning, finish HSK 4 is lets say some accomplishment
@@Soreto23 hey, don’t bring any negativity here :( i personally think finishing any milestone, big or small, is an accomplishment. Maybe you’re a perfectionist, but when i know i’ve worked hard on something, then i see it as an accomplishment.
Chào bạn, tôi cũng rất thích học tiếng Trung
I started learning Mandarin around the same time as you. This is my first time seriously self studying a language. It has been difficult for me because usually I tend to give up on something unless I can see visual progress and without tests and grades I don't have that visual progress. There is a Chinese muscian I like and I have never been able to read the titles to her songs, but now I am able to read some. That type of visual progress felt better than any grade I have ever recieved and got me really excited to continue. Im excited to see your videos in the future.
that’s really neat! i think that form of visual progress might feel more as a victory for you because you feel more attached to that musician. i think that’s a really cool thing. i too feel like giving up when i don’t see visual progress. but for me, reading books without romanisation makes me feel accomplished! good luck on your studies 🙏
谢谢！ I started like a month ago and have been doing duolingo and tofu learning for memorizing pinyin and hanzi. I just got the HSK 1 books and I'm excited to learn more about building sentences and grammer though I heard from other learners that the grammer isn't as extensive as other mandarin books
that’s great, good luck on your studies !! yeah, the grammar isn’t as extensive compared to other textbooks but that can be worked on over time, and i think the grammar is easy to understand for us beginners !
Also you're really pretty!! 😊
i appreciate this<3
こんにちわ！ 也你好😊 Thank you for sharing your video, I am learning Japanese myself for about 1 year now, and my Chinese is pretty bad since I only can write calligraphy with a brush, I guess I have a talent to it because I don't know the language but know how to write. I'm also a future chemistry student!! Good luck with your studies, you're sooo talented and I wish you to accomplish all your goals!! I also know French and a little Danish, since I have Danish roots. 😁
wow you seem to be great at a lot of things :O i think danish and french is super cool <3 i love calligraphy, its so nice how youre good at it !! thank you, and hope you do well with your studies too! wish you luck for your chemistry studies <3
@@nias_nook tysm💕
That's great ❤❤❤
New viewer here! I love your attitude and general outlook towards language learning. I've been learning mandarin for over a year now, and I'm studying really hard to try and solidly reach HSK 4, and I just want to say! 加油！The beginning with mandarin is definitely the hardest-- once the tones stop feeling so foreign, it starts to be a lot easier to remember them and pronounce them, and once you have a bunch of radicals and characters memorized, it's a lot easier to memorize new words because they'll often reuse the same radicals or even whole characters. 谢谢你的视频，我期待你的下个！
ah i always look up to you guys in HSK 3,4,5 haha 🙏 this is some good advice! i agree the beginning was pretty hard haha but i think i’m easing into it slowly now! i’ll try to use this advice from now on! thanks for sharing, i’ll keep this in mind, 谢谢你!
Your video quality is so awesome! Just found your channel. You should totally keep dreaming to live in Japan, you never know! 😊
ah thank you!
You're so right about the "corporate academic setting" ppl use to study languages. Maybe we are just brainwashed into thinking you need to be doing only "serious and productive" things in a "seriuos and productive" way to feel accomplished!
for sure! it shouldn’t be something we feel burdened about
i love that you talked about how language learning isnt that deep 😭 its so true ?? ive been thinking of this too lately. sometimes we take it too seriously but really, we could be making it a fun and lighter process
ah exactly! people make it a life or death situation but… it’s not meant to be like that 😭 glad u resonate with that haha 🤞
Hey! A mandarin learner here!❤i have been studying mandarin for like- 3 years+ now😅 i just want to say your vids inspire me alot to continue learning and improving my Chinese!😊 Even though ive learned for that long i am still pretty much a beginner bc i still can't understand fast chinese even though they are asking simple quetions like ”你知道你要做下个星期？“ but im starting to notice my improvements! And if im discouraged i always remind myself what my goals on why i started learning it!🫶🏻✨ Ps. I recommend watching donghua/dongman for Chinese 😉
ahhh that’s so cool!! i always feel happy meeting other learners too :D ah yeah chinese takes a while to get used to right? and sure i’ll take your recommendation!!
@@nias_nook well for me? Not really...the sound of it feels quite natural to me....😅 I live in a multiracial country and one of the major races are Chinese people so I am surrounded and immerse with Chinese everyday you could say! So I feel quite lucky tbh....🥹🙌🏻
@@tsukki_moon ahhh what!! that’s so niceee ah that makes it more easier i see ! i guess i just need to immerse myself more to match this effect somehow haha
make sure to turn the quality up hehe and comment your own thoughts and things you wanna share !!
Hi! Chinese person here, you can actually find a lot of Chinese media on KZread but you would have to search words in Traditional Chinese (mainly Taiwanese content)
ahh thank you for telling me! yeah i tried and i mainly found taiwanese videos but there are definetely a decent amount of videos from mainland chinese creators !
Thanks KZread algorithm to show me your channel. I just got here, but I consider myself a fan because I like your charisma and your way of facing the most commons obstacles for languages beginners. I'm learning Japanese, and even if I know there's a long way to go, I feel more motivated to not give up.
oh wow!! i appreciate this, im really surprised haha !! yes there are definetely big obstacles but we can push through together 💪
this will be a great series
This has motivated me so much!!! I’ve been learning Korean for over 3 years and started Mandarin last year. I also started learning Vietnamese recently and i speak some Japanese!!!❤❤❤
ah that’s so cool to hear! i’ve always wanted to learn korean haha and wow you’re involved with a lot of languages !! props to you for that fr :D
this is actually so amazing! i am learning japenese and i've been thinking about learning korean, but i've always worried about how it would be to learn two languages at the same time, ur vid gave me motivation to start!! good luck with ur learning, and hope u keep updating us with ur progress and tips <3
ah that’s amazing news!! i realllly wanna learn korean wahh 😭 yeahh it seems scary to learn 2 languages at the same time but you can balance it with simple organisation and it can be made fun !! :3 good luck! happy learning~
I'm excited to have found your channel! I've been learning Mandarin for 6 years now and dabbling in Japanese from time to time along with some other languages. I've watched most Cdramas on KZread and there are a few channels that speak Mandarin even though KZread isn't used much in China. It is a big undertaking being a beginner in Mandarin but if you focus on being consistent, you'll make progress. I wish you well in your language learning journey!
ahh that’s so cool!! nice to meet people who are involved with mandarin !! yeahh i’ve found that Cdramas are a fun source haha! :’) hopefully i’ll make good progress in the future, and good luck with japanese~
Your videos inspire me it's so relaxing ❤ I also want to learn a language and you help me a lot! Thank you 💖
ahh i appreciate it ❤️ i hope your language learning journey goes well if you ever start!
Wow! You’ve made wonderful progress in Japanese after only 4 months! I’ve also started the GENKI 1 textbook recently. I took one semester of Mandarin in school but you’re making me want to pick it up again haha. I also found that it can be a bit difficult to stay committed when you’re self-studying languages, especially with school and work. Having study buddies or teachers definitely help!
this is so true! it can be very difficult yeah 😭 but we persevere when it’s what we’re passionate about and wanna commit to! also, that’s so cool you studied mandarin! i suggest getting back to it 🙏🙏
@@nias_nook I really honestly might get back into Mandarin 👀 I realized I actually like a lot of Chinese media so it might be nice to actually know Mandarin haha. Also Japanese Kanji and Mandarin characters sometimes have the same meaning (very different pronunciation of course) so it sometimes helps to know one of them to learn the other!
@@cheshire_alice precisely !! i thought the same thing… if you’re working on japanese and chinese then you can definetely spot some similarities with kanji meanings but not all are the same obviously haha. i recommend you get back to it + chinese media is plentiful to say the least hehe :3 happy learning~
@@nias_nook Okay you’ve convinced me, I’m studying Mandarin again HAHA. It’s going to be some work balancing both Japanese and Mandarin but I’ll try. Cheers to studying both (being a bit crazy perhaps haha)!🍻
@@cheshire_alice AHH yes do it!! <3 you wont regret it! i think it’s a swell idea for sure 🙏🙏
im also learning chinese, im hsk2-hsk3 level! and a bit of japanese, but not really focusing on it
ahh thats so cool!! its like the opposite for me haha
@@nias_nook we should practice together ! or help each other with mandarin and japanese
@@leonaa3525 omg sure! sounds like a good ideaaa ^_^
@@nias_nook any idea where/ how we could?
@@leonaa3525 hm… well i have basically every form of social media so you can name any application u wanna use to chat :3
put the quality to higher if the video turns out low !! also lmk about any of your experiences and thoughts too<3
That is a beautiful kit, I should defiantly buy this.
indeed! i recommend it :)
