please help me i have question about techinal trainee in japan of there renewal of the residnce card if the photo is rejected by the immgration is the person will go back to there on country?? thank you

Hi Yuta, got a video idea for you if you're interested in investigating: how do Japanese feel about the amount of packaging in many of their food products? Especially with other countries starting to crack down on single use plastics for sustainability purposes, what does Japan think about this trend, and whether they might follow suit?
Ah yes, i see you're a mam of culture. 😌
I love Yuta's comedic sense, you can see the jokes coming from a mile away by his accent, but his confidence just makes it even funnier.
The confidence is important. La confianza es importante.
Same with the accent, it makes everything 1000x better
He be hella cute
oi
Nice pfp😏
"We don't have English class today" makes more sense than my original attempt of "The English language doesn't exist today" when I first read it 😂
Lol, yeah I got that too and it's only because I've also been using the Human Japanese course that I know why we interpreted it that way and Yuta got a different translation. It comes down to Japanese being way more context based than English is. If we'd gotten the line before it I would bet they're talking about their classes, which would be where he's getting "language class" from.
It's easier to interpret it correctly if you watch the whole episode because you will have more context.
"we dont got math today" in english means
You will learn in time that it is best to avoid "literal" translations. When we say in English, "there is no class today" we technically are saying "The class doesn't exist today" but that would be sort of odd to say. 'Aru' and 'Iru' in a literal sense mean "To Be" or "To Exist" in the same way that the phrase "There is" can mean the same in a literal sense.
He had to be lying. Dragons aren't real. Not today.
Another tip : While listening to Japanese songs, use Japanese subtitles like hiragana, katakana and kanji.
i started familiarizing myself with the language through songs 😄
You can't hear subtitles though.
@@hikageniko i listen first before checking out the lyrics. but some animes have japanese subtitles back then and some fan translations have rhythmic romaji lyrics with translations... idk with the animes of today.
@@benjaminnebenjamin6033 sucks today most places don't bother putting lyrics up with songs.

@@tschichpich ага ага
As a Chinese, the most interesting situation is, when hiragana appears I know how to speak but cannot understand their meaning, and when kanji appears I know what they mean but cannot pronounce 😅
Haha. The irony 😂

Interesting
relatable
Yuta san seems like a very patient and good Teacher. I like his way of teaching. ☺️
And I find learning Japanese is very similar to us learning English. 'Learn the basic grammer', learn from anime or drama of daily life story with captions and repeat them, and keep practicing etc.
Whomever learning a language, let's keep it up and enjoy the journey!☺️👍
Thanks for your appriciation
Thanks for your support ma'am😊
English dub is generally horrible, though.
Thank you for your support, I'm learning Japanese and it really helps me!👍
Hey Lemi san...😅 I watch and learn from Japanese Dramas.
I confirm that this works, as a French native speaker, I started to learn English by watching French subbed English series and movies, and gradually going to english sub and no sub and I saw my progress over the years
I'm currently still watching anime with eng sub but I think I'm gonna try Japanese subs soon, cause I know it will be useful!
same goes to me learning both filipino and japanese, i think its the communicating thing of learning, so its pretty easy to learn a new english through communication, literature works, and the media than taking classes. believe me, i tried learning at school with languages and its tiring
Lol I can speak English fluently but can't watch a movie without subtitles
I'm dumb
@@saisanjeevani2247 Oh, I was the same 2 years ago, just stop using subtitles and your brain will start to develope the listening skills, never pause or check the words just get used to the ambiguity and you will notice the difference in less than a month.
@@mohsenvh3619
Thanks bro will try that
Nice!!! I learned english because i got exposed to it since i was really little. Btw english is not my native language
My dad used to tell me "hell, if you keep listening to it, you'll probably begin to understand." So, he was half right lol.
Alsooo, its been a while since I've been to Yuta's channel, so the hair and the scruffy-ness threw me off.
I like it! He looks handsome :-)
Even if you can't read, by listening without subtitles your brain will eventually adapt and try to figure out what they're saying. Children certainly don't know how to read while they learn their first language.
I literally learned English by just listening to it a few hours every day for 1 year.
i did eventually pick up quite a few words from ~10 years of anime watching, but can't put them into sentences
@@dian277 Handy guide to Japanese word order first (and probably last) part
The subject is usually marked with "は" or "が"
EDIT: は marks the topic which is usually the subject but not always.
I'm pretty sure the object is always marked with "を"
After the verb you can add "です" or " だ" however this is purely optional.
EDIT: です and だ are basically the same but だ is a bit broader in definition and です can also be used just to mark politeness.
So it's more or less like this "猫を好きです" or if the subject isn't clear "私は猫を好きです".
@@kakahass8845 but i dont know any of the hiragana
Him : youve already watched a lot of hen- anime..
Me: No no continue with what you were about to say 🤨
that's so correct
Funnily enough, because they use a lot of similar words and phrases in hen-ai you might actually learn them pretty fast. I think by memes alone quite a lot of people understand the words yamete, kimochi, oniichan for example
*Animelon!*

Henime is a new genre
Isn't Hentai it just means Pervert!
I was scared about watching anime with Japanese subtitles despite already having a good bit of knowledge but this video really made me get over that and left me with some good pointers.
本当にありがとう！
I'm really glad Yuta decided to make a video on this. a lot of people stigmatize anime as if it's some forsaken register of Japanese and you shouldn't watch it or you'll develop some sort of significant speech defect, but that's seriously not the case. there are definitely aspects of a lot of anime dialogue that differ from regular speech, but it's ultimately the same language, and some shows are also a lot more natural in terms of register and speech patterns than others. ironically almost everyone I know that has gotten to any reasonable level of japanese proficiency has made use of anime to some degree.
Exactly, there's some cons to using 'anime languages' but animes are still a good resource to learn japanese. I casually tell my "I'M CRAZY OVER JAPAN AND THEIR CULTURE ESPECIALLY HEN- ANIMES!!!" kind of friends not to get hooked up too much on anime languages cuz they might trip and said the wrong word to the wrong person :P
Anime from all I'd been told is a great source for learning. However, I was also told the speech can be very informal if not rough/rude. So, it's a good idea to learn both polite and casual Japanese. Is this true? I'd hate to get into a conversation then it end up coming across as rude unintentionally.

@@XtraSonic thanks for the heads up. *shrug* this one was pretty darn good. I was fooled 9.9 oh well....i was hoping to learn something besides the lesson "beware of RUclips bots"
This was so good
I was actually always mocked by my brother lol when I was a teenager whenever we watch anime together I would always rewind the same dialogue again and again to understand what they’re saying and at that time I just did it for fun I didn’t intend on learning and now seeing u saying this is the right way to learn actually makes me feel proud 😂thank u yuta sensei
How's it coming along
How many words would you say you can catch now
@@HiJrdn1 I can form sentences and speak the language and read and write with hiragana and katakana I can also catch about 50 words if it isn’t said too quickly
But I’m still at low level when it goes deeper and analytical also i often get lost when it’s switched to Keigo ( formal Japanese) I always have to learn all the vocabularies to a certain topic all over again

My Japanese vocabulary is slightly more after watching Japanese vtubers' live streams than when I used to follow subs in anime. But it'll be back to square one if I move on to only watch subbed clips lol.
Same here. Vtubers got me learning and understand more phrases.
Yuta's comedy is evolving
yes
ARA ARA
"Hen- Anime"
"Kanji are totally not sexist" had me laughing, Yuta has pretty good sense of humor
Take out the "for a japanese person," he has a good sense of humor period 👍
@@SLYKM if you wish
I think they have a different kind of humor which results in us thinking their humor is not so great. But yuta for example uses more western humor such as sarcasm which is why I put in "for a japanese person" but correct me if im wrong.
@@denp3103 You're wrong. Here you go.
"They only know what they know"
He pulled off a monogatari series reference right there eyy
I feel like learning Japanese from watching anime is possible, as I learned English at 8y/o just spamming English youtube videos with no subtitles, and you just gave me motivation to do so in Japanese !
I like the Pokémon pfp but also, what is your First language?
@@AUGUSTIN-MUSIC am French, baguette and stuff
English from French is a lot easier though. I've only been watching anime for six months, but I know people watching their whole lives and they still only knew a few words and expressions. I've also been studying alongside watching and I pretty much know more Japanese than the average anime watcher, but if I were to watch without subtitles I would probably only understand 10%.
@@mrkiky Not to mention childrens is at the peak of their brain development, and essentially work as information sponges, so learning new complex information such as language, is a whole lot easier when young. Older you get, the bigger this barrier of entry becomes..
I've been watching anime my whole life, my dad is a big anime fan since the 80s, and I still can't learn Japanese other than the super basic common words and phrases. I can speak enough to interact with Japanese staff but still basic stuff that anyone can learn in a couple weeks memorising phrases. Me and my siblings would often play around speaking anime nonsense as kids, definitely did nothing lol
“Hen-…anime” 😂😂😂
Hen as in 変
Hen=Freak
As a native Chinese speaker, understanding kanji is easy, just the pronunciation is weird
"understanding kanji is easy" said nobody except you
I speak English but Chinese was easy for me to read because the syntax reminded me of English, but what made it hard was pronouncing the words while I had a stutter
@@Sam21856 the reason is cause kanji is fusinate whit chinese
If you have high IQ, then kanji is ez memorization .. the only problem you got is literally the pronunciation ..
Even as an English speaker, remembering meanings is much easier than remembering readings
Signed up to the course started a couple of days ago . Finished the first two modules can't wait to learn more !! Also Yuta looking fly as fuck these days
The first words and expressions that I learnt from watching h...anime are "motto", "iku", "dasu", "sawaranaide", "nakanidashite", among some others. Very usefull vocabulary 😜

yes im so excited! i love this anime sm it was one of my first ones
Kaguya sama s3 also announced
Same lol
Not going to lie, ever since I came to Japan two months ago, I am quickly realizing that anime is actually going to be a crucial part of helping me develop my listening skills. It really does help break things up from the textbooks and flash cards.
Hen-....anime!
This guy really know isn't he?
This is exactly how I use anime to learn Japanese. My favorite method is watching the anime in English subs and going back with Japanese subs and write down Kanji or other words I don't know yet! It's super fun this way. 😁 I also watch Hanae Natsuki's channel and it has helped a lot :)
Is it an youtuber who plays horror games?
@@otaku_inteligente yeah! He's also a popular Japanese voice actor. His most famous video is him playing a Demon Slayer game since he is the voice of Tanjiro
where do you find japanese subtitles?
Omg
Thank you Yuta. So simple to understand. I just subscribed. Looking forward to watch other videos of yours.
After around 6 months of studying, I'm still a little slow on the reading, but daily vocabulary and grammar practice really helps. Oh and immerse yourself in Japanese-spoken content, you'll quickly pick up the context of conversations with just a few hundred words in your vocabulary.
What do you do to practice grammar?
@@penguinsarecool6324 i'm not him but i think grammar is best learnt by just input. i think you "learn" grammar the best way by not actually really learning it, but getting a feel for it. If you know basic particle functions, conjugations, etc. but you havn't fully understood them yet, it's not too important imo. Just keep listening, reading (if you can), and watching stuff, and eventually it should come naturally. I'm at a level where i know grammar well, but can't really explain it if someone were to ask me how it works. i just know what it means, i know how it's supposed to be used. if you keep continuing to listen and read stuff, you will end up seeing the same grammar patterns over and over again, and maybe even in identical contexts or situations, so it should come naturally i think if you give yourself time.
@@koray3774 thankyou that helps alot
@@koray3774 From where I can start learning basic particle functions, conjugations etc? And I can read sentences in Hiragana and Katakana but can't read kanji. I've started practicing kanji though, but I don't know if I'm doing it in a right way. Will you please tell me? That'd be a great help.
@@aprilrahee (this message is seriously long and probably not worded very well, sorry, i wrote it at almost 2am but hope it maybe helps)
Hi, sorry for the late answer. Best answer i can give you in short is: don't worry, there is no right way, only your own. Everyone learns differently and the beginning is definitely the most difficult part, where you still don't really know anything. Again, i think input is more important than output. Try to teach yourself more to understand, rather than to speak. I think it's okay to start with basic grammar videos on youtube, or read articles you find on google. Just try learning the basic forms and conjugations that you'd learn for any language. By that i mean, present form, past form, future form, negative form, past form combined with negative form, etc. You don't have too worry too much about understanding it all from the beginning, or being able to use all of these tenses and conjugations. It's more about, try to get the gist of how the language works by watching/reading/informing yourself about basic grammar, because when you consume native material or content, you will see the forms being used that you learned, and learning by context is the ultimate way to learn a language. So yeah, for absolute beginners i suggest checking out basic grammar guides on youtube or googling articles, as well as you should get anki and download the 2k most common words deck. Learn the most common words, most common grammar and you will slowly but gradually see, that you understand more from what is being said. But you gotta have a goal. For example, i really wanted to understand Vtubers, so i just watched my favourite vtuber streams everyday, studied kanji everyday (mostly with anki), and basically did everything i could so i get exposure to the japanese language (even turning my phone to japanese and stuff). I kept doing this and my understanding grew better as the months went on, now i have really good comprehension and can watch streams without much trouble. Sorry for this really long message, i'm not good at explaining (also it's 1am for me lol), but this has been my experience. I think, that no matter how slow you learn, as long as you continue to learn, and never give up your motivation to learn the language, you will get better and especially overcome the big beginner hurdle which is the hardest to overcome. Just give yourself time because there is no need to rush. Don't worry about a right or wrong way of learning. Even if you learn one word a day it's still progress. Progress is the right way. :)
9:43 WAGANDA FOREVA!
Man the grammar tip just boosted my knowledge by A LOT having learned some similar words with such forms but not with this amazing explanation. Respect and great content!! 🙏
0:15 cultured man
So it *is* possible to become jouzu from anime..... got it
I honestly learned a whole lot from just watching anime with English subs. Maybe my brain is good at that kind of stuff
Now I use Tandem to try some output and its going pretty nicely. Whenever Im not sure I honestly check in the translator trying different combinations or look something up on the web
Animelon is also great for watching with Japanese subs, Im thinking of rewatching Gotoubun no Hanayome at some point if its on there
I love your videos, very useful and entertaining.
Subscribed, your sense of humor is awesome plus you're giving a valuable information, thanks!
I started learning japanese by myself 11 months ago and, although I have sacked a lot, I can now spot when the subs were "embellished" or changed a lot by the translator. I can also look away from the screen without the anxiety of missing some dialogs. Learning with anime is indeed fun!
You’ve uploaded this right at the point that I’ve already done all the prerequisites you listed (including having seen Takagi-san [amazing show]), so I guess I know what I need to do next 🧑💻
one series that uses surprisingly simple Japanese words is Maison Ikkoku. I found that series to have very simple phrases and responses, though the series might be so old now that the wording of certain expressions and mannerisms could be out dated.
I just started watching your channel today, but you've already helped me so much, a website for learning kanji through radicals, and an anime to watch that will help me learn how to speak naturally.
Fantastic suggestion! I feel like I've been making some breakthroughs in my (painfully slow) Japanese learning, and this method looks like it will help a lot. Next time I'm watching hen...anime, I'll give it a shot.
I learned Finnish and Japanese by watching tons of shows with subtitles and then without subtitles. When you finally understand what they're saying without having to rely on subtitles, it feels quite satisfying. Ot feels like a switch has been flipped inside of you and you finally understand what people are saying.
this was hilarious and informative, thank you!
Thanks for all your videos. I like your humour - exactly my style.
「ばかばかばかばかばかばかばか」
Translation:
“I don’t know how to speak Japanese”
Love the video! I have a different learning experience though. I'm multilingual, English is my first language, and my dad's and mom's native languages are my 2nd and 3rd languages. I was never ever taught those languages, I can't read or write them either, but I have speaking fluency! This is because I memorized the words from listening to my parents speak it, understood the context of it's use, and each time I'd hear the word in context it would bolster my understanding of it's proper use and meaning. A lot of my learning was recollection, rather than my parents sitting me down and explaining. I feel like I picked up a fair bit from anime the same way, through recollection. I just need to study grammar, and how sentences are structured, but I think I could skip reading and writing altogether if I just want to learn for fun. In the same way I can't read or write music, but I've been a guitarist by ear for 15 years.
Great video! Really motivating to move forward with Kanji.
This was extremely helpful thank you sensei

Learnings Japanese is pretty tough. Ive been studying for hundreds of hours and I cant still go through a short anime with full understanding. I know most of the words and grammar but learning to tie them together takes a lot of time. You just have to be really patient since its frustrating at times. 皆さん! 頑張って！
1. to be fluent you need more like several 1000 of hours instead of only hundreds. 2. Fully understand anything makes you fluent. There is no difference between a 5 minute clip or a 3 hour movie. 3. I recommend J-Drama because you will understand the plot even if you will not understand a single word. Real life actors will make the content much more understandable through their acting and expression compared to the relatively still pictures of anime.
Wow!! These are excellent ideas!! Thank you!
Learning about radicals in Japanese kanji has been very enlightening, I had no idea about the complex kanji combinations!
It would be awesome to see you make a video recommending cool Japanese youtubers that talk about a range of topics beyond language learning!
If you look closely, you can actually see Yuta's pitch accent in his eyebrows
Glad someone else noticed xD
This is so helpful ty 👌☺️
Hair lookin' wicked, Youth'ta.
Keep up the great work!
12:24 casual Yuta flex. Never change..
ive been *passively* learning japanese since i was 8, and yes, the first few words i learned were bakero and abayo 😂 the first hiragana characters ive learned were このさくら 😅
recently, ive been learning some root words from the different translations of an anime... i listen closely to the words spoken by the seiyuu, find that word online and compare it with another version of subtitles. it also helps me grasp more on the plot or the character’s motives and the anime’s intended contextual interpretations of their manga adaptations 😆
Turn off the subs, weeb.
Great video - Thank you
This is a really good video. I learned a lot. Good hair btw.
Perfect! My Japanese sensei just recommended some anime as my study tool but wasn't as detailed as this. Arigato Yuta sensei!
Hi. Can you share the anime recommended to you? Thank you!
12:39 you can try momorizing **starts speaking japanese rap god**
Great advice! I plan on immersing myself with anime once I have either Genki 1 or both of them complete so I understand the grammer rules and I can easily learn new vocabulary
Love the new hair cut dude. Kudos 👌🏻
A fun little thing also about learning this way, is you learn inside jokes to the subbed anime. The best example watching host club amd one line fhats always felt weird to me in the english version. There's a line when Haruhi is explaining she doesn't care about gender, she says 'dude' in the dubbed version. But in japanese Haruhi uses 'Ore' to refer to themself so it's a much funnier joke bc it's basically Haruhi going 'sure they/them is fine idc'
Can confirm this works, I've been doing this for 2 years and althought I'm by no means fluent I'm at a level where at least I understand all the basics of the history and some other times I understand all of it. I can play games, watch anime or read manga. If you do this you'll be very confused for a long time but you'll get better very fast too
This is the coolest hair you've ever had!
annddd you need to tell us what series you featured here
I think this is a great video ! I learnt Japanese exactly this way and I have been speaking fluently for three years now
Love your hair this way ❤
"Because you watch a lot of hen- anime" 😂

I haven’t seen your videos in while but that hair cut look so fuck!ng clean on you
I really like it looks really nice
Using double subtitles is really useful. And sites such as subscene and subtitle mergers help a lot
no it's not. It's a trap
5:33 - I was literally planning on watching Fate Zero like this cuz of this video 😂😂😂
3:00 that made me laugh xD
10:30 I like his face expression when he said monogatri series🤣
Thank you for amazing video
Will try to re-watch Kimi No Na Wa with this approach 🤩
I trapped myself in death note. I promise myself the next series will be used as another source to learn japanese
This is the second video in a row that i've watched from you that had a monogatari reference lol
My Japanese teacher also taught me this sentence: 「行かなければならないこっとしまってよなんです。」which just translates to: "I have to go."
After watching an ungodly amount of hen-anime, I am now fluent in the ara ara dialect of Japanese.
I shall now speak Japanese
This is very informative
I love this I was looking to do this recently. Thank you, you showed some things that I needed to work out to make it work. I wish there was more romaji though.
apparently learning romaji is useless
@@YTatNight it has helped me learn how to pronounce the words more efficiently. It hasn't been useless to me
@@snowfire8716 for me i end up associating the sound with the latin alphabet rather than japanese so i tend to ignore romaji so i can memorise
Great video! I'm sending this to my students for sure! By the way, does anyone know what is the name of the anime showcased at 8:03?
Edit: In case you have the same question its from the movie Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?
Thank you good sir
Peppa pig is the best anime to learn japanese tbh
Knowing how character accents can be extreme in Anime I wasn't sure about this one of videos but honestly, this is very informative. Many thanks!
I like how he's talking about a past form of an adjective, like it is completely normal... the concept is easy to grasp, though
Thanks for this tip! What do you think about learning Japanese from songs? It's something I used to maintain and improve my English when I was young. By the way, your advice on getting the book "Basic Japanese Grammar" published by Tuttle was very helpful.
I totally agree. I can't overemphasize how much learning all of the radicals helped me with my reading skill.
Arigato! Just finished watching Japanese drama on Netflix with English subtitles… will watch again with Japanese now! 🙏🏼☺️
