12:14 This actually happened to me as well, when I took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagoya. I had to find an employee to help me resolve it, as the screen merely showed a red X on it.

I tried Duolingo years ago, but I didn't like all the ads and stuff for the free version. I ended up using the Refold method with lots of Anki (JP1K deck and self made sentence cards) and native input with supplemental learning from NativShark. It was a pretty good way to build up my vocabulary and grammar knowledge as a beginner.

People like to say duo is a great introduction to languages, but intros should not take up to 1000 days.

Which Anki did you use? All the ones I have found cost $.

First of all, (sorry for typing so much and don't feel like you have to read this or reply, I just relate to everything you mentioned and have been invested in your videos/journey since I started watching your videos, It's always meant so much how you've replied to my comments in the past.) I just want to say that your editing has been great in my opinion! Also, sketching out your storyboard for your videos is genius! I'll have to remember that as I make different kinds of videos too haha. Aside from that though, as of late, I very much relate to your struggles. I finally got my first long-form video out (*yayyy!!*), and have been working on the next one for what feels like FAR too long. It's a draw with me of a drawing I worked over 10 hours on, and now I'm in the script writing stages, but I've felt myself growing insecure, as this is a project that is dear to me, but I know it will probably not be seen by many. I've also worried about not being able to do my drawing justice with my words I put alongside it, and that I might end up making people who DO watch it bored. I've felt this way for about a week, but I'm just getting over it, and am ready to work hard and get it out there so I can continue on to my next ideas (which I'm very excited for hehe). My process so far has turned out to be similar to yours, although different haha. I keep all my ideas jumbled up in my notes app on my phone, and then when I decide what I'm going to do, I also script it out in docs. The funny thing is that on my last video I uploaded several PNG's of my little "me" drawing-- and M A N U A L L Y edited them in according to what I was saying LOL. (this took hours to do lol) I also heavily relate to the decision paralysis. I try to avoid it, and try to learn how I can better manage my time, but it pains me that I can't seem to figure out how to fit everything in. Everything from playing music, learning japanese, making videos, actually doing art to improve, playing this or that game that I wanna finish, spending time with friends or family, doing all the housework, and so on. It becomes overwhelming, to the point that I find myself back at square one eventually, only doing the bare minimum and gradually working myself up again. I've been fighting against it lately and try to force myself to keep healthy habits at the very least. My "bare minimum" now, is LEAGUES above what my bare minimum was about a year ago. Anyway, thank you so much for uploading! I really look forward to every video you make and look forward to see how you grow! :D

For those who are wondering how much you'll get out of duolingo in the same time without any other resources: I just saw a post the other day bout a 4 year japanese duolingo user who failed the N4... the second lowest level of the JLPT tests after 4 years of study

THE DIAMOND OF THE SEASON!!!!!

Duo Japanese was alright for a while but I've had to restart like 3 times because of updates. 1 update in particular kept my progress on individual lessons but shuffled the order around so I had to go back to chapter 2 but I had progress in chapter 5 and 7. I got so frustrated that that was the last time I tried

I love your voice & videos. You are far too hard on yourself! This is because you are a high achiever. Keep going with your videos.

Thank you for sharing your process!!! I I actually find voice recording the hardest! I always loose motivation anytime I hear my voice 😂. You’re doing a wonderful job!!! Hope to see more of your vids!

YESSSS!! I've been so curious about this! ty for sharing your process :D

8:41 Yeah, that's the best way to put it, treat it as your creative playground.. thanks for sharing your process!

Always wanted to find out what you use

Duolingo has only be useful to me as a backup it's pretty awful at teaching Japanese so you definitely brought up some great points in this video

Oh dude, how have I come across your channel today?

For me, Duolingo is more like a reminder. Its like, even if I dont study on that particular day, Duolingo keeps me from "forgetting" about learning japanese

Wow~! Your animation is improving!! I love these inspiring kinds of videos! 💕

I have been a RUclipsr since 2014 and still haven't reached 1,000 subs lol. I hope one day that I can become consistent enough to properly grow a fanbase. Thank you for your inspiring words!! I will do my best to improve! Your videos are so good and deserve more views! Good luck with everything~!! 💕

I love the little walking mushroom at the beginning of each episode! It's so cute! Spoiler alert for later seasons: yes there are killer rabbits in the dungeon, straight out of Monty Python!!

Hey Cameron, I did learn the Japanese alphabet via Duolingo because when I started, I didn’t want to learn Kana because I just wanted to understand when someone was speaking Japanese I had no desire to read Japanese I wanted my lessons in romaji but when Duolingo made me learn kana like a video game it was so engaging that in the end now I know Hiragana and katakana And I am actually invested in learning Japanese both in writing and reading as well as listening

i think i learned to read hiragana in 1 hour with flashcards. easiest thing ever.

The biggest problem I have with duolingo is that there are so many better and faster ways to learn out there doulingo becomes kind of useless. I tried it in the past but quickly stopped because it felt really really slow like doulingo was holding me back so I spend more time on the website and watch more ads.

I am Japanese. I also study with this app. Foreign languages ​​are difficult, but let's do our best！ I use google translate. Sorry if the translation is incorrect. ー わたしは日本人です。 私もこのアプリを使って勉強しています。 外国語は難しいですが、お互い頑張りましょうね！ わたしはGoogle翻訳を使っています。 間違って翻訳されていたらすみません。

it took me 5 years to beat furi

Fuck yeah

Days don't count, hours do, quality hours.

You should check Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance

Glad I found your channel. Swag!!!!

I was obsessed with P5R and spent almost everyday playing it. That took me 5 months to finish it. Is long I've started P3 Reload now

Im glad im not the only one with this experience. Put at least 300 hours in P5 between base game and Royal with several restarts and platform changes. About to beat Royal for the first time finally clocking in close to 150 hours.

Bro this resonates so hard, I took about 3-4 years to finish P5 also. It took me 135 hours for my first playthrough, and I didn't even get to the 3rd DLC semester.

nah such a normal thing cuz like I bought P4G back in 2017, still have not finished it :) context given I haven't picked it up since 2018's hectic transition to university and losing the save file around the same time. I also took time with my earliest pokemon game, coming back a year or two after, because I finally had enough brain cells as a 10 year old to know how elemental advantages worked.

Royal was 5 years ago?

The best experience for the game is when you don't have expectations at all for it i played because the music was good and it is really good But took me 2 years got it on the switch played it then was faced with the turn based combat and dropped it till I accepted this combat after hsr and hoo boy its good

I still haven't beaten it and also got it day 1. But i also only have a few hours in it.

It took me 6 years to finish zelda breath of the wild (i bought it in 2018 and finished in 2023) and I year to finish zelda tears of the kingdom

lmao im on 7 years myself, i probably would have to restart my playthrough, glad to see this is a widespread phenomenon. Maybe i can just power through my original playthrough though

Eventhough it took you 5 years, I'm glad you experienced Peak Cinema.

I started persona 5 during 2021 and am still working on it. I pick it up every few months and play for a week or two or so. I’m about to start Akechi’s dungeon. It may take me 10 years to finish it at this rate lol

After beating Persona 5 do you have any interest in playing Shin Megami Tensei? SMT V just got an enhanced port like P5, and the first Digital Devil Saga game just turned 20.

Can't wait to announce in 20 years time that I finally finished Persona 5 Royal That being said, this is easily one of my favourite games now, definitely recommend 😆

It is really funny how many the same things we do.😆😆

P5R certainly has its stellar moments, enjoyed the game alot myself. Certainly in my top 3 JRPG combat systems, though I wished the game played a little more with them. Persona 4 should definitely be right up your alley (if you get over the rougher dungeon designs)

I find this a really interesting phenomenon. I also struggled with Persona 5 (and Dark Souls) initially but after many years I finally ended up finishing them and "got it", and now I've played all other Persona games (and soulslikes) with much more ease and they became some of my favorite games. But part of me wonders if they're actually good games if apparently so many people struggle with them? From what I've seen it also seems that the people who do end up finishing it after an initial struggle period had some sort of perspective change. Are they really worthy of recommendation then? I just think that's really interesting to think about...

concerning duolingo the main thing is not the streak but more the number of hours u spent practicing...someone with 1000 days streak who practiced 5min/day didnt do sh.. tbh... on the contrary someone who spent 100 days streak with 1h/day did practice more efficiently. fact

Great video! Another 2 things I like about duolingo is the kanji practice section has actually helped force me learn both stroke order and just memorizing Kanji. It's just made me read subs and translate sentences so much easier by constantly practicing. The 2nd thing is the competitive aspect. The leagues and being in the top against your peers helps my spirit and I just want to see my name in the top of the leader boards. It also helps getting XP boosts from your friends and doing quests together. That being said, I also studied way beforehand going to in-person classes in my area as well as reading the Human Japanese Beginner and Intermediate textbooks.

Haha yeah it still gets darker! Still darker than you think!
