you inspire me so much! im researching so much about how i could do an exchange semester or internship in japan, however the language barrier is real. i've been studying japanese for 1 year and you inspire me to put more time in studying it
Very interesting stuff. I'm going to attempt the N3 test at the end of 2023 so I have a little over a year to prepare. I'll definitely check out some of those recommendations.
I want to see myself in ur position in the future, looking forward to ur next uploads regarding japan and work life there. Please upload more and stay safe.
Hi, hab soeben deinen Channel entdeckt. Super interessant zu sehen wie man in Japan so lebt und wie du dich in die Japanische Kultur einlebst 😊 Ich bin vor 3 Jahren nach Vietnam ausgewandert. Immer spannend zu sehen, wie andere Leute in Asien so leben. Liebe Grüsse, Nhi
How did you get fast at reading? I tried N3 this summer but despite learning all kanji and significant amount of vocabulary with anki I realised a few weeks before the test I wasn’t going to be able to read fast enough to complete the exam in time.
@@clintfloydgalapin5461 TBH having trouble finding novels or news at the right level. I remember my grade five teacher telling us the right level for a novel is about 5 words you don't know every page. That was in English and it pretty much worked for me. When I try to read Japanese material, I'm probably stopping every second line. It's very tedious and not really enjoyable. I'm pretty sure twitter posts are not going to cut it but thanks for the advice. I guess it's best to just keep doing the N3 reading exercises, even though they aren't so interesting at least the grammar and vocab are contained.
@@jaddaj5881 Sorry this is a bit late but if you still need content to read I recommend an app called easy Japanese news. While the news isn't extremely easy the app has a built in dictionary feature so if you don't understand anything you can look it up instantly
HI ! Dominik thanks for your video. Very instructive. I have a question about the way you are using anki. I went to N3 without using it and learning list of vocabulary and repeat don't really bother me, but using anki would certainly optimise the process. were you using all prepared anki deck or were you making them yourself ? Do you have any tips about the way of using anki ? Thanks :D Good luck for your Phd !
Hello Pierre! In Anki, I made sentence cards by myself. When I encountered a word that I wanted to learn, then I took the whole sentence onto the flashcard. This is better for remembering the word long term, because you also have context. A more advanced way is to also include the visual scene and sound (if you use netflix).
Wait... you said you'd explain what it'd mean to be fluent in Japanese but you never actually said what it was exactly. Did you mean passing N2? Or N1? Or 6 years of study? I wanna know at what JLPT level would I have to pass or master in order to say be able to have a casual conversation with most Japanese people. Would say passing N3 be enough?
You could say so! I like engineering for technology and creating things, but I feel like people in this field are sometimes missing the intercultural and human aspect of things. Learning another language added another dimension to my life, which I am very grateful for.

Saving this for future reference! Thank you for this! 😀

Read a lot
I think you just need to practice reading a lot.
You can read what you find interesting, it might be a novel, news or just a twitter post.

the JLPT doesnt test speaking, so its hard to say, but prob N3 is fine
Wie viel hast du für die Nihongo-So-Matome N1 Reihe ausgegeben? Wirkt bisschen teuer auf mich...
Wenn möglich, gebraucht kaufen! Ansonsten gibt es die vll auch online *hust*

Hi Dominik, in what area did you master on mechanical engineer and you still working on?
Computational fluid dynamics and using applied Machine Learning for estimation!
Yeahh as we go higher up we just stop studying
東大数学の動画のコメントから来ました！
日本での大学生活楽しんで！！💪🏻
"What I mean by fluent" means not fluent.
So you are and engineer and into humanities?
You could say so! I like engineering for technology and creating things, but I feel like people in this field are sometimes missing the intercultural and human aspect of things. Learning another language added another dimension to my life, which I am very grateful for.
