I cannot comprehend the discipline it takes to not miss a single day of Anki. Same as mining for hours and then still doing Anki. My most honest respect for you. Watching your videos motivates me for both workouts and studying Japanese, although my humble next goal is just reaching 1000 Anki cards.
Humble or not 1000 will take you far. I agree I can’t do Anki very well but it’s caused my language ability to be lopsided listening and I don’t know enough kanji or words associated with that kanji. But I’m going to try and grind Anki once more with you
A salute to everyone who failed on the way, and those who are still on the path, stay strong everyone!
Thank you. I needed that.
Yeah... We often forget those who gave up... especially midway which must be the worst feeling
@@w花b shootfor the stars and if you fall you land on a cloud, they might not have finished it but their japanese skills is much better then most after giving up
I failed with my anki decks but I keep watching Japanese content
@@w花b I'm one of those people who gave up at first. Quited for a year, but got back at it again with more motviation then ever before! The good thing is, everything you've learned before is not gone. It will all quickly come back so it was never a waste of time!
Livakivi is me if I didn't have kids... and lived alone... and in Europe... and had self-discipline... and could make points concisely... So basically, yeah, not me. 😆
I feel like the value of having your whole Japanese learning Journey documented here on youtube in such detail is so huge it's hard to quantify.
The effect this will have on people thinking about / learning Japanese now and in the future is going to be massive. Your videos are so underrated. Thank you!
Anki has the quirk that it convinces you it is essential to your learning, while the only real essential thing is immersion. Out with anki, have fun!
Anki is for when you _know_ you've seen that word several times before, but you just _don't_ see it often enough to remember from immersion alone. Like 竣工
@@technic1285 at the point I'm currently at i remember most words instantly, no point in continuing with anki. After his 20k cards im sure his brain became a jp sponge, and that he is in the same situation as me.
It's crazy how anki serves as a net for all of those words you want to make sure you remember but we all know that the real thing happens when you immerse 😊❤
You gotta start somewhere
must be easy to talk smack about anki after you have reached 20k+ cards, thinking you would have reached a word count even remotely that high by pure immersion. anki is absolutely essential as a beginner, even as an intermediate learner I would say. because you won't benefit as much from immersion without the much needed vocabulary for you to pick up words you don't know in an i+1 fashion, since as a beginner, you pretty much understand nothing at all. while you could still learn something without anki even as a beginner, the process would be a lot more arduous and time consuming than if you would have just used anki in the beginning. so no, anki >>>> everything else as a beginner. it's a different story as someone that has 20k different cards down and I think he also made that pretty clear in the video when he said how long it takes to even find 20 new cards daily.
To tell you the truth, I always watched your videos every single day because they're such a comfort zone for me. I have been learning English for almost 4 years, and I started using Anki for more than 2 years. My vocabulary has skyrocketed enormously because of that. I still need to learn a bunch of things but it's just magical to completely understand another language without much problem. Just a year ago, I also began learning Japanese. It's been hard ngl. Your videos have done a lot for me when I just want to give up. As you have said, it's keeping the habit and doing stuff we like. It's just a matter of time to reach the level that you are right now. It is indeed a long way, I only have 2000 words on Anki.
One of the most important things that I learned from your videos was that resting is also work. Sometimes, the mentality of always working has stormed me much more than I would want to. But it's good to remind myself from time to time.
Thank you for the comment! If you started learning English less than 4 years ago, then you've definitely come very very far in that time!
Awesome work man!! Your next challenge should be to learn Ancient Albanian Sign Language
I don’t know why but I feel so happy for you man, massive congratulations!
Congratulations 🎉
Really nice video, im also on my japanese journey and memorized 2k words thanks to your videos encouraging me, and it looks like it wont stop anytime soon as i am not even slightly burned out and feels amazing to be able to read japanese words i see on the internet, I hope I will be able to come to your levels one day. I'm quite amazed the fact that dog princess game music started playing in a row but it is probably a lucky coincidence lol
Congratulations! Your channel has always been a great source of entertainment for me and others, and it's cool to see this massive milestone.
Congrats! You’ve been my favorite channel to watch during my Japanese learning so far, you’re super inspiring!
Congrats man!!! Your content has been really motivating and informative. It’s legitimately helped me in language learning journey.
You're a huge inspiration for my japanese learning story. love your videos
Great job Liva, congrats on 20K cards! You've been a huge inspiration for me on my own language journey, and it makes me super happy to see you reach this milestone.
I am so happy that you did it!!! You are my favourite creator ever
Congratulations! I've been following your journey for around 2 years now which is crazy to think about since it really does feel like yesterday when I started. Somewhere down the line I lost interest in learning Japanese myself, but I've been thinking of getting back into it and this video came at a perfect time. Thank you for that
A big inspiration for me to keep going. Thanks for all your Japanese videos man!
This is such a huge acomplishment that I hope to acheive one day. Congratulations. Your videos have gotten me to 1500+ cards and I'm still learning every day.
Congratulations man, long awaited great to see your progress!
Congrats!! You rule!! Absolute legend
Congratulations!! 🎉
Awesome video and congrats on 20k. I totally get why you don't want to mine further and you made some good points about not having to reach some daily quota, but it's interesting that you never considered mining without a daily quota, for example you could just immersive when you feel like it, and when a new word pops up that you really would like to have in Anki you would then mine it, then the amount of new cards everyday is totally depended on how much you immerse and you wouldn't have to keep immersing late at night to hit 20 new words, if the day is over and you only have 3 new words, then so be it. The amount of reviews would most likely still plummet really quickly as the way I understood you, you don't see new words that often. (Not saying you should keep mining, this comment was meant as an alternative idea where mining and no daily quotas could be incorporated together^^)
Your videos have inspired many of us to keep persevering in our Japanese learning!
Congrats liva! Been here since the duolingo videos. Excited to see your growth! Would be awesome to see some videos of you eventually in Japan interacting with people in Japanese.
Thank you for all the videos you've uploaded to this channel! I found out about the Core 2k/6k deck from this channel and I've finished it recently. The deck has helped my understanding so much and I'm really grateful for these videos for making it known. Moving onto sentence mining (also with the help of videos from this channel) and I can feel the progress already. Thank you for all your hard work!
Consider checking out JALUP which is now Nihongo lessons which is 7k cards that are all n+1. After the first 1000 cards the definitions are given with Japanese words you’ve learned :)
Congratulations!!
This deserves at least 20,000 views
Congratulations!!!!!! Your videos are amazing, like even before watching
Congratulations man, what an insane milestone to achieve
Congratulations man!
Thats insane dude congrats
Huge congrats.
Incredible effort.
Congrats, Liva!
You are such a motivation. Congrats on your accomplishments 🎉💪😊
Congratulations man! You are a big inspiration to me for learning Japanese.
Congrats! I'm 8k words in and was slowing down a bit but this inspired me to pick up the pace again.
Big congrats man, ive been watching your videos since 2021 and you inspired me to start learning japanese (205 day streak atm). Thank you so much for making these videos and again congrats on 20k 🎉🎉
Its very nice to see you continue with this journey and thank you because you have inspired me a lot :3
Huge congrats! You are an insane inspiration to me as I am also learning Japanese (1 year anniversary next month). Seeing your progress gives an insane boost of confidence, that this approach will give results if I just stick to it and be consistent
W mans! Congratulations on your progress!
Congrats!
This is incredible, 20k is so many cards!! hahah your learning journey has been a big inspiration for me, I've been learning Japanese for 2.5 years now in a very slow pace, got a bit of traction just this year, actually. Right now I'm using Duolingo and Lingvist for vocabulary flashcards, and its been quite fun.
I swear your dedication is unmatched, multiple hours of mining seems insane to me. I guess seeing the fruits of your labor really motivates you, I hope the best for the next parts of your journey! Doing all this while making high quality YT videos seems otherworldly to me
yippie!! my biannual reminder that i have failed in learning japanese.
but on a serious note, congrats. i just graduated highschool and really want to get back into learning japanese as i have more free time but feel like its gonna be near impossible
Failure is never real!!!!!! Sometimes you just get busy with other things and need to pick up stuff later. Also if you just finished high school u have so much time!!!!! Good luck and give it ur all we all believe in you
Its just a matter of consistency, you don't have to do so much all at once in the beginning, there was a time when I took only 5 cards a day for a long time from the core 2k/6k deck as well.
@@Livakivi For me the biggest challenge is picking back up where I left off. "Starting over" feels like the correct solution at times but the one that also discourages me the most. I've used wanikani for the majority of vocab since it was easier to get into compared to anki for me, but looking at 300-400 reviews is terrifying since I haven't done it for months lol. Almost feels like there's no good solution that's effective and motivating. I do understand where you're coming from, the hardest part is just taking that first step.
I just started learning japanese and watching your videos inspires me so thank you for making them.
Congratulations! I started my sentence mining journey for Korean last year, can’t wait to be a solid enough level to start it for Japanese too! 😊
Congratz!
Dude, you are an absolute unit. I wish I had the strong will that you have. I am happy for you!
you are such an inspiration!
congrats bro
I just started doing anki and theses videos really help motivate me
I was able to make it for the tail end of the stream but congrats again! 🎉 Quite the milestone, looking forward to seeing how things develop in terms of both your Japanese and your future content!
Thank you for tuning in mikuminou!! I'll be trying to enjoy learning Japanese even more from now on, and hopefully it will be fun to see the outcome as well!
Gosh I wish I was that dedicated to stuff like u are with Japanese, congrats on reaching ur goal!!!
And I'm glad i was there in the Livestream when u reached it, real chill vibes, would love to see more if u want to do that.
congrats!!!
Congrats Livakivi 🎊
Congrats man
Great job mate.
Just wanted to congratulate you man. You're the reason I started learning Japanese, you inspire us all. I look forward to your next videos.
How is your Japanese going since I really want to start but still hesitant
@@ameuee Just start -- A good series good be George Trombley's Japanese From Zero Videos. They were really great for me when I first started a year or so ago. He's hilarious, and a good teacher
@@uglyluffy7815 thank you I’ll get started eventually
@@ameuee gl and hf bro. The journey is super satisfying!
万歳！目的をやっと届くことおめでとうございます！
You have got me to start learning a language myself, thank you my man your amazing
9:13 Nice. I saw you mine Hunters and Gatherers live, and I liked it so much I also mined it.
And here you are reviewing it.
I can't begin to describe the amount of respect I've got for you. Man you've inspired me so much. The only question is where do you get the time from, an hour a day for me is already hard to achieve, let alone 5 hours. But anyways very proud and massive respect!
Back when I was still working full time, I did Anki during downtimes such as commutes, toilet, when waiting for something, eating, watching something, after waking up for 15 minutes and so on.
congrats liva.
I am so happy for you! Congratulations on reaching 20k words! ~~
You've been a reaally big inspiration for me all this time, your dedication and perseverance in itself are something to learn from, but you were also so kind to share your journey with us! You've worked so hard and did a really great job! お疲れ様でした ＼( O＾＾O)／Hope, you'll have even more fun with Japanese from now on!
Congrats dude
Hey Livakivi! I've been watching your videos for a year or two now and I've loved watching you grind and learn so much!
I remember in one video you talked about possibly studying Russian (which I am doing) or Mandarin (I think?) and I just wanted to say that if that is still the case it could be very cool to see you coming at a language nearly from scratch and using what you have learned from studying Japanese to apply it to a new language. Nonetheless, great job!
Oh wow. I ran through everything that happened to me from 2018 and dang, that was a long period of time. Amazing job!
contrats man. love your japanese content. always motivates me
one of the only channels i have notifications activated on :)
Congrats man! You’re and inspiration. Hopefully I hit 10k by the end of the summer lol can’t wait to see what’s on the other side
Congrats! Hope to be there one day
Wait! I was just binge watching your Japanese learning videos!
I aspire to be at this stage one day. Currently at 1300 words around 6 months and gradually getting better. Congrats!
congrats, love from finland
Congratulations on hitting the 20k. Absolute legend. Watched your videos on Japanese through the years, got me inspired multiple times and this time I’m really trying to learn through immersion and anki (still having an issue with consistency but ayy almost hitting 1k). Anyways, 本当にどうもありがとう 😊
A year plus and only 1k words???
That is scary to me
@@TragicGFuel don’t worry Tragic, that is just my pace. You might do double on your own, but I hope that you’re having fun on the journey of learning it and don’t forget that it is a process. It’s just like any other thing, with enough dedicated practice, it will turn into a routine that just occurs.
@@RWaarden Thank you for the kind words.
How is your reading speed after these years? Are you able to read at a decent speed (assuming the content you're reading is within your vocab)
Because of the videos you made last year's may I tried a second time learn Japanese once again, now I am at almost 6000 words! (I will probably reach 10000 by the end of the year) your videos motivates me so much that I can't wait for your 5 year video thanks for everything! Also next time could you talk about reading? (My end goal) Your experiences in the different parts of your journey?
I also used your refill link to sign up to migaku, it's has been a huge thing in my learning
I Have been learning on and off Japanese since highschool (I've been working for around 3 years now and in my late 20's) and I'm truly amazed at how much you've accomplished by yourself. I only started taking things a bit more seriously in the past 4 years but you're already waaay better than I've ever imagined was possible. Congrats!!
I can't read more than 200 kanji lol, but I can mantain conversations, so our aproaches are vastly different. I don't know if I can get to your level of understanding (can't read a book lol) but I'd like to c:
I'm not learning japanese nor in any language learning grind but I watch every one of your japanese videos because they are so inspiring
I’m really happy for you! I am also sentence mining Japanese but not as long as you. But I have a slightly different idea or plan on how to get fluent. My plan is when I reach around 20 000 cards, I will not stop sentence mining but instead not try to mine 20 cards a day. I wouldn’t have a goal of sentence mining daily, but sentence mining when I see a new card
Congrats man! you definately inspire me to stop using duolingo and actually learn the language. i finished the core 2k/6k last year and have been doing cards with immersion. Seeing you keep going for so long inspires me to keep on going as well on this long journey. (also i was hacked on discord and i got banned from your server, im sorry :,(
Bro i JUST watched your previous video where you said your goals for this June, and I commented "how's the June 2023 going?" I got my answer! 🤣 CONGRATULATIONS!
Congrats man on the Anki Grind! Not learning japanese but learning korean I have recently reached 10K words and I have been contemplating what to do next. I have been mining 15 new cards a day for a year now, it's really tiring and takes a long time as there is less unknown words. I really want to put 20k as my "finish line" too, doing 20 new cards a day would really bring me faster to my goal but I don't know if I can take it....Nowdays I can watch an entertaining Drama for 1 hour and only mine 2 words, I feel like I would either need to mine for 5 hours a day or read books everyday to get to 20 a day. Anyway sentence mining is so funny because it literally makes me annoyed when I understand everything in a video, it be 2am and I be screaming at my screen like "ppleease tell me something I DON'T KNOW"
Congratulations! :D
Damn 20k in 2 years... with such high retention? Wow! Congratulations!
I loved Migaku a lot until it started capturing audio that was way out of sync. Hopefully it gets fixed someday though!
You're very kind for sharing this huge deck! Congrats man! :D
That's odd, I didn't have any issues with desynced audio, unless you mean on youtube on macOS where I figured out that the reason it happens is when I switch audio source eg from speakers to headphones, but that might just be a macOS chrome issue as well. Just making a new tab fixed it though.
I'm also curious about this.. How on earth did you manage to add 20 new cards/day and still keep an 80% retention at an average answer time at less than 10 seconds? I was adding 15 cards per day before, but had to cut it down since my reps would take close to 3 hours per day in order to BARELY manage 80% retention. Now I add less cards and restrict my rep time to 20s/card and my retention has dropped to 60% 😂 Do you only rep the meaning of the word (and not the reading)? Do you not listen to the audio? Would love to know more about the specifics on how you rep your cards (as well as your Anki settings)
Also, congratulations on this milestone and a huge thanks for these videos in general! They are incredibly helpful for staying motivated on the journey :)
Your videos motivated me to learn a new language (idk wich one yet but probably german, italian or latin), I was stuck thinking I would never need or want to learn any other foreign language outside of english, thank you!!! Perhaps I will try japanese after I "master" my third tongue.
I've neever seen such an efficient human being, you're an inspiration
I'm really not that special in reality haha
I like your learning Style, mix it up a bit but still quite focused. I've tried and done lots of things to acquire Japanese over the last 33 years, and I'm loving this new technology. I'm going to use gpt-4 to make me some new Anki cards.😀
Really tough to put into words to say how much I respect you for this achievement. Just know that it is and you have a lot of motivated viewers who’ve also been following your journey for a long time *raises hand*. Congratulations.
Thank you Livakivi we are all outside your Journey and we didn't do anything helpful to you but we watched it from the very Beginning I remember my struggle with Duolingo. The first Video I watched was Why Duolingo is trash. You really convinced me with your efforts you put in that app. And this why you was a true inspiration for me. I started watching how you get better and better in Japanese now I am getting better its just you gave us all your way and we just follow it because you are such a good leader. I am gratefull that I discovered this channel. (Even if I can't use Migaku because I live in Europe🤣)
banger bg music as always
100 days of the 2k/6k deck liva I'm going strong averaging 10 words a day! You're an inspiration hopefully I can make it as long as you do lol
Congrats🎉
I currently have around 7200 cards. Gotta grind for another 2-3 years more to reach 20k
Grabbing the deck now. I doubt I’ll complete it or anything but I’ll have fun playing around with it. The idea that you have native audio from RUclips for the cards is kind of mind blowing.
As a tradeoff, the sentences themselves are completely broken though a lot of the time because of the autosubs haha. But definitely do let me know how it goes, or if the deck was of any help!
@@Livakivi I had to fix it so it would wrap words on my iPhone Anki app. It had some code to preserve original formatting for some reason?
@@paulwalther5237 Not sure if those are some old cards or if something is different on iPhone
@@Livakivi It was weird. I think it was just a few old cards but their formatting seemed to affect the whole deck.. If you use find & replace to replace and with nothing, it fixes it. If you use a computer or a tablet with a big screen you probably wouldn't notice anything.
Thank you for your videos; they are incredibly inspiring. May I ask how old you were when you started learning Japanese?
The madlad did it! Wow
Congrats! Liva, now that you're going to focus a lot more on pure immersion, it'd be nice if you made a video reviewing contents as a learner yourself, your experiences with it and what could you recommend to other learners. Cheers!
8:00 BLAHAJ SPOTTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
very inspirational
Impressive! I honestly think getting used to grinding on Runescape makes stuff like this easier 😂
Great video! As someone with only 3K+ words, hearing you say you still felt like you were lacking vocabulary in the stages was daunting. 😂
He should try to reach 100k😅😂so he wouldn't say that
