Hold up... Are you seriously taking the opinion of this pathetic american in the video ? Ignore it... Learn Japanese and create your own opinions about it..
The #3 one hits the hardest. I remember being excited moving to Japan, just to realize not a single person talks like the anime characters (before understanding and after understanding). And now whenever I hear (most of) the anime characters talk, I just feel like they are “trying so hard” 💀 especially the Isekai/Fantasy ones
I started learning Japanese because I find it to be the most beautiful sounding language I've ever heard. I don't watch anime, play games, or listen to J-music, I'm simply learning it because it sounds nice to me and I'm finding it to be really fun to learn! I don't think i'll ever get tired of this language so I look forward to continuing my study of it and improving for many more years to come!
Finally someone who isn't learning Japanese because of anime. I just like the culture, the language sounds nice, and I plan on visiting Japan in the future, therefore learning it!
I got interested because of anime initially but I’ve stopped watching as much anime since my teens now so now I just like it because it’s a language to learn that can be of any use to me. I went to Japan and would love to go back and understand more. It’s also easier than French with its conjugation and pronunciation crap, Japanese is a lot easier for me because I know Spanish too and the sounds are not very different. I find it to be easier than English. And realistically those two were my only choices
@@mnlight8308nothing wrong with that reasoning. Learning a language regardless of why brings you closer to the culture. Use whatever for motivation etc. if someone has the dedication, all the power to em.
@@werrutkyupnext i can't even learn any language i can speak basic conversation korean and understand people sometimes, AND my sister also can't learn lol
@@werrutkyupnext yeah me and my sister are gonna start from today on to learn everyday and try making sentences and make sticky note/ flashcards and yes I will try harder so will my sis! Thanks for the advice g ▪︎
@@TheCatnipCinemaI'm not fluent but my understanding is you use different conjugations, honorifics, words, etc depending on who you're speaking with and the setting... generally there's polite and casual speech and then there's honorific speech and there may even be more levels than that. So for instance Japanese uses honorifics like -san -chan, etc after a name....san is usually used as an honorific after most people's names as a way to show respect for someone you don't know or who is in a higher position to you....but there are others too. And you also change the speech in other ways like I said changing some words or conjugating the ending (verb) and or certain adjectives differently. I'm far from an expert in Japanese but the little I know is stuff like desu and masu at the end of a sentence is for polite speech and leaving it off would seem casual or impolite to someone you don't know well or are subject to like a boss or teacher....
We are basically delaying its death, I’m pretty sure some people are curious about Japanese being spoken in front of an alien race or the language being an interstellar language, highly unlikely but interesting
Most languages will die due to climate change wiping out many ppl so don’t bother. Also Japanese ppl don’t care if you learn their language or not. Some even don’t want you to learn
As for the last point, understanding anime actually makes it easier for me (I’m Chinese American, I don’t speak Japanese AND I DONT CLAIM TO, HOWEVER, I’ve learned to audibly recognize certain basic adjectives and phrases) Even though subtitles have made me read faster, understanding more Japanese means I have less need to read so I can appreciate the visuals AND I get the pleasure of noting the differences in the way the characters talk, like if they have a very polite or casual or amusing or haughty way of speaking
pretty sure they said “ganbare minna” which would translate to “good luck everyone” or some form of encouragement but i’m still learning japanese so please correct me if i’m wrong!
yeah americans can say hello and good bye and think they can speak a language, lmao i mean i lowkey get it, you've never had to learn a language for years in school, so learning a tiny bit feels like you've achieved greatness ^^
@@deadlypendroppingby bro japanese is difficult because of writing style Kenji but if you want to learn japanese for anime you don't need to learn kenji because there is no need to read in anime if we anime in Japanese we only need to listen it.

I think I'm the only person in the world who is learning Japanese strictly for traveling and not because of anime 😅. I mean I used to watch it as a kid. I'm not against watching it but I am an outdoors guys I just don't really watch tv. I want to travel around Japan but more in the countryside as well. Not just Tokyo or Okinawa because people will speak to me in English there.
agree. i never watched much anime at all, but i was always interested in languages and i would have learned sooner or later. would love to travel to japan if i ever get the chance to :)
‼️ BUT so much Japanese literature is not translated outside of Japanese and they are not planning to ever translate it outside of Japanese. Some of the most famous books have no English translations at all. Not even fan translations. If I had to choose one I would rather learn to read Japanese than learn to speak Japanese
To put it as simple as possible that Japanese adults and elders went the Japanese generations to stay pure Japanese & follow their imperial way of culture in a legal manner instead of integrating with the American race & other foreigners which many people are not respecting though I mean a to each their own I guess.
@@nickpatella1525 ocean of trees, the book that started the whole self ending in the forest, all of the Edo Legends and folklore, the vast majority of all books published in Japan every year.

Actually, you should be proud of the second fact. If we lose a language, we lose the thought process, story and other stuff in the language that could help in many ways
I can't see japanese language becoming irrelevant. Japanese popculture has such prominence on the world stage that the language has become common speech in certain internet subcultures. I think learning the language will become a much more common thing across the world because of this, especially for those entering the entertainment industry
I am learning it to re-watch my favourite anime cuz there are a ton of extra meaning that you can't understand from the subtitles And it's for my personal satisfaction, I would never regret having such dexterity
If you learn Japanese is because you like the culture, people, perhaps anime, Japanese dramas, or perhaps is your job, dream to go to Japan, etc etc. Not for a world domination language. Japanese is still a very popular language, but if you just want to learn a language to travel and talk to most people around the world then Chinese, Spanish should be in your top list. Why not learn both? If it’s too difficult then that’s an excuse for not learning it, like the hidden name of this video… “My excuses for not learning Japanese”.
I am still learning the basics, thsi video wasnt very motivating but ill continue trying to learn it. I think that most of japanese people are amazing and nice, I am not only learning japanese for anime but also for gaming and hobby reasons
That last one about anime is all you. I still think that’s cool even understanding how it sounds. Also, Shounen isn’t the only genre. The voice acting is actually very fitting in anime like Non Non Biyori.
True, but the author of chainsaw man actually writes himself into the manga and it really shows. The other mangaka's should also do this, because it looks like they are struggling to write original stuff that is still strong.
Dude, your so lucky. I was trying to read the Japanese comments and replies some people wrote. I couldn’t understand the kanji except for 2 and my WPM is 7💀 Wish me luck learning this language 😭
That will probably not happen, english is my 2nd language and when I watch or play video game with English dub. It does not affect me like native speakers
It won't hit the same because by the time that you learn Japanese enough to watch it without subtitles, you will be old and be questioning why you spent so much of your life (several thousand hours) for the sake of a cartoon.
You learn Japanese because you want to live and work in the country or be with someone special who speaks the language. You don't learn Japanese to watch anime.
the Japanese language and culture is incredibly beautiful. It’s complexity is the reason I am studying it and enjoying it ❤️ It’s definitely hard and there are times I think i’ll never be able to master it, but then I remember, if I can learn THIS, with as difficult as it is, I can master any language. We keep going! 💕
@MilkyLore I don’t mind if it’s not useful. I’ve gone back to school 4 times now because I just really enjoy learning and challenging myself to accomplish new things ☺️
There’s a polyglot, Alexander Arguelles iirc, who knows over 50 languages. He moved to Korea because he considered Korean the hardest language to learn, a position he still maintains. Last time I checked, the US State department ranked it in a category of its own for difficulty.
A true weeb would never regret learning Japanese even any other person would not regret learning Japanese. Japanese culture, language, people, technology, video games and anime all are amazing. I am an Indian and I love Japan. 日本は世界で一番素晴らしい 国だよ 🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵
Damn, I just wanna learn it so I can go on an extended food trip eating the traditional foods of each prefecture 😅 and also enjoy talking to random people about various topics on the way.
That reminds me of when I first learned English and most of the English songs I liked before got worse, once I understood the lyrics. That's actually the reason I decided to not learn Japanese :')
Japanese language isn’t dying, it has 110M native speakers and 97M speaking outside of Japan, but Japanese indigenous languages are dying, some that only the Native Tribes in Japan are speaking which are, Ainu, Hachijō, Amami, Kunigami, Okinawan, Miyako, Yaeyama, and Yonagun, which are spoken by the smaller islands that don’t have that much contact to normal Japan.

This video be like: Why I regret learning Japanese but the comments be like: Oh i never regret learning japanese.(btw i am also lesrning japanese rn and i also dont regret learning it😅)
duuude, nice reel! could have learned two languages in the time it takes to learn Japanese lol. Looking forward to the inevitable 690 subscriber special!!!!
I am Indian and I love Japanese language. I don’t have any particular reason but if a language is dying, I will definitely go after learning that 🇮🇳❤️🇯🇵
I was so motivated watching a lot of videos on youtube about learnig japanese, and suddenly, this video appears. my motivation for learning japanese died instantly. :(
I will still learn it. And since I am currently learning it I love it when I randomly hear words and understand them. So eventually I will understand the rest.
As a Turkish Native Speaker Turkish has a lot of ar*bic and Persian words and It ain't Universal except for using other State of Turk but when you go to Krygzistan and Kazakhistan they usually speak Russian.It's fate is worse than Japanese.
That's your opinion, I am doing a coding Job in Japan. I can easily socialize with my Japanese colleagues now and they were impressed by my Japanese skills. So I have never regretted it. Only one thing I can say, learning Japanese is not worth it if you have no any plan to visit Japan or getting any job there. Otherwise Japanese is very beautiful language.
First of all point number one has been bugging me a lot haha xD It is kind of true it's insane how much import words they use. And third point is kind of funny to. That being said I do NOT regret learning japanese even though it's ongoing. The language is amazing and can express in so much better ways than my own language (swedish) and english as well. With such little effort you can express incredible complicated emotions. Plus all the people in japan I've met is so friendly and really appriciate that you speak japanese and always seems impressed and compliment you.

I think japanese is beautiful because you don’t use conjugations to refer to people by quantity but because of the respect you have towards them.

I think learning the language will become a much more common thing across the world because of this, especially for those entering the entertainment industry
I am learning it to re-watch my favourite anime cuz there are a ton of extra meaning that you can't understand from the subtitles
And it's for my personal satisfaction, I would never regret having such dexterity
As a japanese, in my opinion if its dying, then you must keep learning it
I just wanna enjoy the music even more
Same for me 😊😅
my Japanese family can not speak English so I’m trying to learn Japanese for them, even if it dies out, I won’t regret learning it
Irony is a foreign concept to the commenters here
If you learn Japanese is because you like the culture, people, perhaps anime, Japanese dramas, or perhaps is your job, dream to go to Japan, etc etc. Not for a world domination language. Japanese is still a very popular language, but if you just want to learn a language to travel and talk to most people around the world then Chinese, Spanish should be in your top list. Why not learn both? If it’s too difficult then that’s an excuse for not learning it, like the hidden name of this video…
“My excuses for not learning Japanese”.
The only reason i wand learn it is because so i can i read raw untranslated light novel
I am still learning the basics, thsi video wasnt very motivating but ill continue trying to learn it. I think that most of japanese people are amazing and nice, I am not only learning japanese for anime but also for gaming and hobby reasons
just keep it up.. don't lose hope by a random hilarious video XD
are you still learning? I'm in the situation you described in this comment right now. learning basics and videos like this are demotivating
absolutely none of them are valid points. only for attention.
It was a joke
Absolutely all of them were a joke
Bruh
It was a joke my guy
They're all pretty valid. I love japanese and learning it, but i realized all the same things. Someone's butthurt.
Mf - that is *EXACTLY* why I love Anime, tf?
My man😂
Yeah this guy does not get it 😅
And I'm betting you're alone too lmao
@@koolchik1314 -_-
Yeh!! That's why it's awesome!!
That last one about anime is all you. I still think that’s cool even understanding how it sounds. Also, Shounen isn’t the only genre. The voice acting is actually very fitting in anime like Non Non Biyori.
True, but the author of chainsaw man actually writes himself into the manga and it really shows. The other mangaka's should also do this, because it looks like they are struggling to write original stuff that is still strong.
The last one hurt the most 😢
My motivation to learn Japanese hasn't decreased at all...
Here's an advice for everyone, don't be lazy!
Seriously, consistency is key!
As a Japanese dying just doesn’t sound so nice. I love my language and find it beautiful😊
Dude, your so lucky. I was trying to read the Japanese comments and replies some people wrote. I couldn’t understand the kanji except for 2 and my WPM is 7💀
Wish me luck learning this language 😭
I am actually worried that anime won’t hit the same once I learn and maybe it’ll all sound like dub to me. still want to learn tho
That will probably not happen, english is my 2nd language and when I watch or play video game with English dub. It does not affect me like native speakers
It won't hit the same because by the time that you learn Japanese enough to watch it without subtitles, you will be old and be questioning why you spent so much of your life (several thousand hours) for the sake of a cartoon.
😂😂😂😂😂@@jinjurbreadman
@@jinjurbreadman nooo, you killed my motivation damnit 😭
Point 3 is something every weeb learns when he visits Japan.
You learn Japanese because you want to live and work in the country or be with someone special who speaks the language. You don't learn Japanese to watch anime.
I am still gonna learn it for the fun of it
the Japanese language and culture is incredibly beautiful. It’s complexity is the reason I am studying it and enjoying it ❤️ It’s definitely hard and there are times I think i’ll never be able to master it, but then I remember, if I can learn THIS, with as difficult as it is, I can master any language. We keep going! 💕
@MilkyLore I don’t mind if it’s not useful. I’ve gone back to school 4 times now because I just really enjoy learning and challenging myself to accomplish new things ☺️
There’s a polyglot, Alexander Arguelles iirc, who knows over 50 languages. He moved to Korea because he considered Korean the hardest language to learn, a position he still maintains. Last time I checked, the US State department ranked it in a category of its own for difficulty.
Japanese Language is honestly a Beautiful language, im thankful for Japanese Musics.
:> im Japanese
If a language is dying, i will try to male it life again
Don’t care I’m still learning and practicing
A true weeb would never regret learning Japanese even any other person would not regret learning Japanese. Japanese culture, language, people, technology, video games and anime all are amazing. I am an Indian and I love Japan. 日本は世界で一番素晴らしい 国だよ 🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵
Damn, I just wanna learn it so I can go on an extended food trip eating the traditional foods of each prefecture 😅
and also enjoy talking to random people about various topics on the way.
That reminds me of when I first learned English and most of the English songs I liked before got worse, once I understood the lyrics.
That's actually the reason I decided to not learn Japanese :')
Man I just got into trying to learn Japanese and how im scared 😭
Haha, kind of true. Once I found the subtitles to some of my favorite vocaloid songs, I was like wtf is this xD
I like anime more after learning Japanese because I like the unrealistic over-the-top crazy characters 😂
As a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, Japanese sounds so amazing. I'm in love with this language, and such a great culture.
Japanese language isn’t dying, it has 110M native speakers and 97M speaking outside of Japan, but Japanese indigenous languages are dying, some that only the Native Tribes in Japan are speaking which are, Ainu, Hachijō, Amami, Kunigami, Okinawan, Miyako, Yaeyama, and Yonagun, which are spoken by the smaller islands that don’t have that much contact to normal Japan.
Hmm.... native Americans of Japan... 🤔💬... hmmm...
@@nihon.ni.sumitaifr... Wtf are native americans of japan? Are they native to the americas or to japan? Does this person think japan is part of the americas?
@@nihon.ni.sumitai Its similar to how the Americas have tribes, they have tribes aswell.
You don't even have to know Japanese to come to the third conclusion...
This video be like: Why I regret learning Japanese but the comments be like: Oh i never regret learning japanese.(btw i am also lesrning japanese rn and i also dont regret learning it😅)
He... Is he having a regretful decision to the point that he is having a mental breakdown?... :O
Some people in the comments taking this to heart 😭 he's clearly not being serious 💀
Japanese will not die for a long time.
😂 The other language I studied before is Latin, so it’s ok.
Welcome to the American side, and just blend in here, we want you all.
Lmao😂😂
*Ussr joins the chat *
I'm not learning Japanese as my 3rd language cuz I need it, I'm doing it cuz I like it and think it is a beautiful language.
Well i still need to learn it to watch anime without subtitles one day
Today I will be learning Japanese because I want to go to Japan when I am older. I might live there just depends
Yea same!
me tooo
がんばって！
@@peenutbutter.46 ありがとう ♡
@@malakjaeger4837 ♥
Well I am learning japanese just because I can
you should learn moldovan, just because you can
duuude, nice reel! could have learned two languages in the time it takes to learn Japanese lol. Looking forward to the inevitable 690 subscriber special!!!!
I am Indian and I love Japanese language. I don’t have any particular reason but if a language is dying, I will definitely go after learning that 🇮🇳❤️🇯🇵
日本語が私の第一言語なので、これを見るのは本当に面白いです。しかし、私の両親は両方とも違う日本語を知っています。私の母はひらがなを知っており、父はカタカナを知っています。私は日本で育ち、12歳のときにロンドンに引っ越しましたが、ここでは日本人であることがクールだとは知りませんでした。だから今は幸せで素晴らしい人生を送っています。
me learning japanese to flex on my monolingual friends
i hate to admit that but yeah lol..
I like how everyone took this short way way too seriously. Like guys he's obviously joking 😭😭
British English is dying? As a British English person, I’m still here…
I think he's talking about old english.
Shakespeare thee and thou stuff.
Whites will be a minority on the island by 2060…
🤣
is it true that average british male start to lose their hair in their late 20s
I think you’re living proof that British English is dead, if you can’t understand sarcasm. Remember when the British were masters of it?
so you dont like anime because you actually understand them, as someone who understand english i can see why this would be a problem
I learn Chinese in school but I want to learn Japanese on the internet
Imagine learning Japanese for the first time and seeing this video appear.
me right now, all the videos seem so demotivating about learning it..
@@nataliami1777 really i diched learning Japanese and started Arabic
But this makes me angry because I dont want people to loose intrest in learning a beautiful language because of this dude.
I was so motivated watching a lot of videos on youtube about learnig japanese, and suddenly, this video appears.
my motivation for learning japanese died instantly. :(
Nah.... I Wouldn't take advice from a punk-ass kid.... Especially when he isn't serious.
If I didn't know Spanish I couldn't annunciation anything in Japanese it's definitely a tongue roll language
As a Puerto Rican, i can confirm this ^
Yeah knowing spanish helps a lot with pronouncation but still can't save you from the writing
I thought just in western japan you roll your tongue like in kansai dialect because in tokyo you don't from the speeches & vlogs i've heard
I will still learn it. And since I am currently learning it I love it when I randomly hear words and understand them. So eventually I will understand the rest.
Tbh learning Japanese makes me like anime more. There are so many jokes that just don’t translate well.
As a Turkish Native Speaker Turkish has a lot of ar*bic and Persian words and It ain't Universal except for using other State of Turk but when you go to Krygzistan and Kazakhistan they usually speak Russian.It's fate is worse than Japanese.
......why did you censor Arabic??
That's your opinion, I am doing a coding Job in Japan. I can easily socialize with my Japanese colleagues now and they were impressed by my Japanese skills. So I have never regretted it. Only one thing I can say, learning Japanese is not worth it if you have no any plan to visit Japan or getting any job there. Otherwise Japanese is very beautiful language.
bro called british english a dying language
it is opposite, listen carefully
He said ‘not unlike’ meaning ‘like’. The negatives cancel each other out
@@newwondererunlike means not like, but not unlike means like. There are still millions of British people alive, so it's a wrong statement. Cheers!
I don’t have a choice, he already took my family I can’t lose anyone else 😭
First of all point number one has been bugging me a lot haha xD It is kind of true it's insane how much import words they use. And third point is kind of funny to.
That being said I do NOT regret learning japanese even though it's ongoing.
The language is amazing and can express in so much better ways than my own language (swedish) and english as well.
With such little effort you can express incredible complicated emotions.
Plus all the people in japan I've met is so friendly and really appriciate that you speak japanese and always seems impressed and compliment you.
