🌿 I'm Julianne & I'm self-learning Japanese
Self-compassion. Moderation. Sustainability.
These are the things I focus on to keep my language learning journey a positive part of my lifestyle. Having a history of negative self-talk and a damaging idea of "self-discipline" left me in a vicious cycle of starting and quitting things, never making progress that was meaningful to me.
I had to make my time spent learning Japanese fun and sustainable, changing my mindset to be kinder to myself. That's why I focus a lot on learning through immersion, and otherwise doing whatever the fuck I want without comparing myself to others.
I hope by sharing my own personal journey that maybe I can help people who relate to me.

Thank you for coming along on my Yiddish learning journey! This is the next few weeks of Yiddish classes online with the Workers Circle.

2020 Goals Review | quarterly goals mindset shifts
I am Jewish. I did hear some Yiddish at home more than 50 years ago. No grammar and vocabulary of a couple dozen words. Since I retired I've been learning Yiddish daily, I believe it is my mitzvah, my way to fight Hitler and Stalin. Unfortunately, nobody is around to teach or just to speak to me in Yiddish except my PC. Maybe someone has a different mitzvah - to share his knowledge of Yiddish?
Great! Thanks for the links! =)
Can’t wait to dive into your channel. I’ve been “studying” japanese for 5 years and am a stagnant intermediate. Notion and anki have been friends of mine for a while, so I am eager to combine the two with this approach. I feel like this can give some structure to my learning.
Wow, that class is EXTREMELY informal compared to the Yivo class I am taking.
Nobody says they're doing gut. It's always boruch hashem. Just saying gut, a dank, is very academic but not very Jewish.
As somehow who used to be fluent in Russian, and who found it fun to manually translate between dictionaries, I honestly say I have ZERO interest in learning multiple languages now, and there is ZERO shame in being monolingual. Even when I was fluent in Russian, I NEVER EVER liked or wanted to communicate in real time with other people: NEVER liked speaking or listening. Was always ONLY interestied in reading and writing, which can be done at one's own pace. Not this realtime bullshit. Governments all over the world should issue every single person a handheld translation device. I already know 2 languages: English and Math. My brother is fluent in English, Java, Python, C++, and other computer languages. Other people are fluent in one native language + highly technical scientific language. There is no reason no logic to care about saying the same ideas over and over but merely with different squiggles and different sounds.
im trying to get back to learning spanish, but i noticed im already burnt out with the idea of starting and feeling bad about lost time and progress. this video was just what i needed to hear :) its nice to hear that someone else has so many years of starting and stopping too. gonna try to focus on consistency this time and allow myself space for other things
Beautiful ❤
Hey! I really like your videos! Boku wa nihongo no gakusee. I hope that's right haha.. I'm in Florida studying my Genki textbooks and watching a million youtube videos about Japan and the algorithm brought me to your channel 😊 I appreciate your advice about going at my own speed and I'm trying to wrap my head around sentence mining and how to do it. I've discovered Anki and have been doing my flashcards everyday (I pretty much have hiragana memorized 100% now) so I'm feeling proud that i can read it.. i just wish i knew what the words meant lol. Anyway, I have a long way to go but I'm hyper-motivated because I plan to buy akiya in Japan in the next year and I'm simultaneously learning about that. Anyway, I'm appreciative of your easy, breezy, and beautiful language learning content and am excited to hear more from you soon! Ps, if you enjoy AoT and Monster (Monster! So good!) you might enjoy Gintama. I'm just getting into it but it's so silly and it really cracks me up.
I had no idea you streamed games! I'll have to ワープ in and watch!

Clicked for the thumbnail stayed for the pep talk lmao
OMG, Visual Novels being porn 99% of the time is infuriating, because the format itself, text based, voice acting, is the perfect formula for Japanese immersion. I'm playing an amazing game right now for the switch (on my pc using an emulator), ファミコン探偵倶楽部, voice acting, logs where you can replay the audio of any sentence at any time, fairly simple vocab and requires you to actually understand the story to solve a murder mystery.
I just finished reading the Book you read in this video, it was really good! Thanks for the recommendation. Especially the last short story, really made me think.
Magnificent video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.
זײער פיין! דו לערנסט זיך ווייַטער?
I think 灰羽連盟 might be the perfect anime for you to watch, it has a very lonely vibe and it has a lot of feels. I'd also highly recommend サイコパス for a psychological/crime anime.
דאַנקען דיר זייער פיל, דעם ווידעא האט מיר נייַע געדאנקען. גרויס בריינסטאָרם!
דזשאָוזו!
This is a great idea! And I REALLY like what you write here: "I'm not aiming for ~ultimate efficiency~, I'm aiming for self-compassionate sustainability and enjoyment of my language learning." :)
Thank you for the character screenshots of my Hatoful Boyfriend stream ^^ That was a fun time haha
Can I ask, when you do these weekends do you ever sentence mine/review cards? I know it’s all about immersion but do you like pretty much cut out anki for the weekend? Also very happy to see you back! I moved across the country and started a new job and it’s been hard with the whole work life balance thing. So I feel you! Just started back with Japanese after a 6 month hiatus and this vlog came out literally at the perfect time!
You’re a monster for the redacted section
Great to see you again!
Thank you for watching ❤️❤️❤️
I had so much during the minimmersion and I was so happy when I found out you were vlogging it. Can't wait to see more of your videos 😊
Oh yay, thank you so much!!
Ok but why did I keep saluting?
FINALLY!!!
Awesome. Hadn't heard some of these ideas yet
thank you so much!
Thank you!
I'm a non-native speaker of English, and the way I speak out loud, when I do so in a casual manner, turned out kinda like yours😂. Like, the sentences you speak are totally what I might have said, and some other idiosyncrasies, even the vocal fry. Learning through immersion is a hell of a ride. 💁♂ 🤣 I never set my foot outside of my home-country and I rarely talk with friends in English out loud, but I do practice talking out loud everyday. So, you know for anyone reading this, keep it up my dudes, language learning can be done just with what you already got on your hands. I respect a lot your skillfulness with your Japanese. Here's the YOLO manifest, I've carefully crafted for all the my homies: I never gave a damn about following any formal method to learn English. I simply unleashed the beast within me and went all out with what I call the YOLO method. It's about surrendering to your cravings and getting high on the language like a freakin' cocaine addict. Set the damn language on all your devices, immerse yourself in it, and search online only in your target language. No more wasting time on other languages. Unless it's absolutely necessary, stick to the language you want to master. And when you do indulge, go balls deep! Binge-watch the hell out of shows like The Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead, or whatever might be of your liking. The YOLO method requires you to watch the entire show in the shortest time humanly possible, pushing your body to the limit. And here's the kicker - no subtitles in a language you're already comfortable with. Only the target language. No mental translations allowed, just go with the flow. Don't overthink it, just talk to yourself like a complete maniac in that language. Hell, even think in that language. You need to become one with it. But let me be real with you, I'm not sure I can handle that level of intensity all over again with Spanish, Italian, French, Russian, German, Standard Arabic, or Mandarin Chinese. English took a special place in my heart, and I wasn't casual about it. But don't get me wrong, I still take a laid-back approach to expressing myself in it because that's just who I am. 🤣 Okay, that was a bit weird. It just sounds cringe, but it was fun to write. Btw, comments like this was what helped me learn to write better. So, write lots of comments online in your target language, that's always available and you don't need a friend to write to, although, that's preferable. Those days, you can use a Large Language Model like ChatGPT to help you. Although, be aware that it was optimized for English, and in other languages it might sound strange.
We returned to Judaism as a family. We were raised Christians in the South East USA. We love Judaism. Don't let anyone tell you that you are not Jewish enough. There is no correct way to live a Jewish life. Rambam said that we should love a convert as we love G-d because the Convert chose G-d.
I think the problem is that people forget that being Jewish isn't the same as the religion Judaism. I'm of Russian Jewish (Ashkenazi Jewish) heritage and Russian Jews spoke mostly Yiddish from my knowledge, so I'm giving it a go myself through Duolingo.
Good Luck. Duolingo is a great way to get started and used to the alphabet. Although you should eventually supplement it with other resources. I just decided that it is time to start learning Yiddish although I don't have any Jewish heritage( at least far as I know), but I like the sound of the language and I like learning new writing systems. Fortunately Yiddish has a huge library of resources, although mostly older ones, but still compared to some other languages it is great. I also went ahead and bought the In eynem textbook, yeah it is expensive, but by just skimming through it assured me it was money well spend. It has a very modern layout and a great companion website. And it is contemporary so that is a plus. And it is huge, almost like a Bible itself:) So I would recommend it to anyone interested in the language, and they still have it on sale $54 for pdf and $100 for print. which is a lot but not that bad compared to some other language books with far less content.
YESSSS exactly!!! And yes amazing!! Are you enjoying duolingo?
@@LeaflingLearns I do, it's a lot better than most language learning apps!
Played that Hamtaro game a lot when I was little. Might give it a try in the future!
You should!!! It's so good, even better in Japanese haha. The nostalgia simply cannot be beat.
really relate to you thanks for this channel
Thank you so much <3
Just discovered your channel and I absolutely love your tips. I am currently learning Italian so I really needed this 🥰
omg thank you so much! I really appreciate it <3
You and your teacher speak Yiddish like a text book lol the spoken Yiddish doesn’t sound like that at all
I just rewatched the whole video. Amazing information here! Thank you again.
Thank you so much!!!
I loved this video! Thank you for all the great information that you shared with all of us! I send you hugs!
Since Yiddish is a mixture of languages, you might be able to connect some German and English to certain words. Like lektsyes is like lecture, classes or education is traditionally a lecture. Lektsyes. German 'wo makst du' is how are you? Yiddish is 'vos makhstu' pronounced very, very similarly. German wo and Yiddish vo are about idential, and the last part is run together. I think you'll get it until it comes to distinctions, grammar, and words like russian, lithuanian, or hungarian mixed it. <3 I'm a beginner, too! Thank you for providing a clear pathway (that I don't have to design) for learning Yiddish, since I don't think there are classes locally.
I looked up why the Yiddish course on DuoLingo was so controversial since we have a lot of the same path, including Japanese first and then Yiddish. The DuoLingo makes the 'path' easy but they've actually mixed the pronunciation and grammar of two different dialects of Yiddish into something like "duolingo yiddish dialect," a distinct language of it's own.
Duo Lingo also promotes the so-called “inclusive” agenda.
@@ONEFAITHofJESUS what "inclusive" agenda?
Confusion rather than distinction of male and female.
@@ONEFAITHofJESUS you know that many languages are not based on a gender binary, right? some languages that generally have "genders" end up gendering things like sand and birds lol. Those languages often have neutral terms, too, which have existed for hundreds of years. In some languages, importance is placed on social roles and relative ranks. Someone's language is not some personal attack on you. you're free not to use the program. no one is making you.
I’m not talking not talking languages but about Duo Lingo(along with other for profit bu$ine$$e$, $chool$, corporation$, etc.) insidiously promoting so - do - my, without warning, be it parental discretion or otherwise.
You’ve inspired me! I’m going to start taking Yiddish seriously
YES!! This makes me so happy!
Hi! Just started to study yiddish a little while ago and Im so confused by the using or the letter r! Like can you use either one or is there some rules when you use the other one (meaning the spanish rrr or the throuth r)??? 😅😂
I love your t-shirt
hehehehe thank youuuuu
LOL If you really want to confuse yourself - learn Hebrew now! Same lettering, but pronounced differently if either learning Sephardic style, or Ashkenazi. It'll drive you meshugah! :)
I'm currently learning Welsh. I feel tempted to have another go at Yiddish - but in a few months as I'm looking at a few languages right now. I'm not Jewish, but it is an interesting language
i love this idea of creating our own language immersion environments. i would like to ask you how can we 'let go' of languages that maybe we don't truly want but we feel guilt to hold onto them? i have a really silly rule of 'keep every language i ever studied in the past' or any country i traveled to, i feel this obligation to keep it. i'd rather not have this pressure if it makes sense. thank you so much for the advice =)
Crazy you also took your time to show the gameplay of those games and overall just gave pretty in-depth explanation on the subject. Thanks for the video so much!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
I love your positive and gentle vibes <3 it really resonated with me when you talked about having empathy towards yourself and being self-compassionate while learning languages. Thank you!
Thank you so so much for the kind words! Wishing you the best on your journey!!
