Exactly, we need to love it. I have seen many students get tired of the big syllabus, kanjis and eventually stop coming to the class. If we don't love this language from the start till the end then no sensei in the world can make you pass jlpt or get fluent.
I've been at it for little over a year now. what i've learned, is that when listening, it's important not to get too fixated on the words you don't know, you end up missing out on the context and conversation. If you miss something, just let it go. it will eventually resurface.
I am currently watching an anime (Usagi drop) in Animelon with Japanese subs. Whenever a dialogue comes, I pause it, I read aloud the Japanese words even if I may not know the meaning (a slow process for a beginner like me), I look up the translation of words that I didn't know before, Then I'll hit play again to hear how they pronounced the sentence (things like doush-ta, not dou-shi-ta). This gives me reading, speaking and listening practice. (I work with the Japanese translation auto scrolling in the right panel to keep my eyes away from the subs and I have subs ON in Romanji for words that go too fast in the dialogue or for me to check if my reading was correct. And English for reference. But I try to avoid looking at the subs until I am done with the slow and painful process of converting the written words into sounds. Also chose a slice of life anime just so that I could get the more natural speaking with less sci-fi made up words or historical or too polite speakings.) The process is somewhat slow and tiring for someone with no practice but it's a good way to get practice without feeling too dry.
I wonder how nervous your guest was to do an interview in Japanese where she’s being put on the spot for being fluent at Japanese 😂. I bet I would choke and forget words and grammar I probably say in my sleep and second guess everything I say.
I've only studied for 8 months now, but I remember 2 months in, I encountered a Japanese person and he asked me おなまえはなんですか. I was so nervous I forgot my own name. Let alone even say it in Japanese. So props to her, it is harder than it looks, ask any language learner
I have problems processing words in general, so even in English I'm always mishearing things or not hearing at all. Listening practice is extra important for me. So I was happy I could follow most of this conversation without captions.
I can understand about 95% of the Japanese in the video...but still cannot speak that fluent and so well.....but I would practise more and speak out more. Miku Sensei's materials are definitely very helpful!! Thank you!!!
My problem when I practice Nihongo is that I freeze up and can't reply when a Japanese person talks to me after I said a sentence to them in Nihongo because I struggle to translate what the other person just said + formulate my own reply 😭 It really helps to practice conversations with an actual Japanese person. 😅
one of the biggest things i'm noticing in common with a lot of people that have learned Japanese fluently, they all made at least 1 Japanese Native friend to help them study with or even as a language exchange partner. That and being able to travel to Japan and being surrounded by Japanese vs the learner's native language. For those of us that either live in areas that are VERY void of Japanese people or even those interested in Japan, I don't know about others, but this ends up being very difficult to accomplish and we have no choice but to take the online route. With doing that though it seems to be a lot harder to make "Japanese" friends online if you aren't interested in dating (at least from my perspective, the second I mention I have no interest in actually dating... the overall interactions become awkward and the communication stops.) The males I've tried to talk to just pretty much flat out ignore any attempts to become friends. I've personally used a lot of different sources (youtube, blogs, social media, & mobile apps) and it has drastically helped with being able to understand Japanese and better comprehending grammar differences between western and eastern languages, but this doesn't help with speaking or having the motivation to even continue learning on more of a consistent basis due to feeling like you aren't progressing. There have been a number of youtube, instagram, and twitter accounts that drastically help the solo learning process 100% (Miku, you have made it very interesting and enjoyable for sure, and I can't thank you enough, I've learned a LOT from your instagram and youtube channel) . I noticed a lot more Japanese people using Periscope and since it recently added a call-in function it helps hearing people speaking that are not trying to "help" foreigners learn so to speak and understanding casual conversation. Pretty much what I'm getting at is the best way I've noticed as an introvert, do whatever you can to stay motivated.. it's tough but the best thing to do is find something you're really passionate about (music, art, food, video games, etc) and start learning how to discuss these things in Japanese (Music and one particular online game has been my go to and it's helped DRASTICALLY). Sorry for the long wall of text, but Thank you Miku for your videos!
In my experience it's not always easy to make a friend with Japanese people and I think it's easier with those Japanese, who actually lived overseas. The more so to say "westerniezed" japanese people are, the easier it is to make friends with them. Maybe they start to care less if you are Japanese or not. :)
Thank you so so much for your comment Franchott san! I know It's very very hard to find good Japanese friends who can help you with Japanese learning! But I will do my best to help you with my videos! and I am willing to create a great community here:)
How about you try this: Try speaking to Yourself. Talk about your day in Japanese in as much detail as possible with the best of your ability and not worrying about what mistakes you'll make, since continues input will clear that up. You'll be surprised about long you can spend doing this and you can do it anywhere, anytime. I avoid talking to people online and I rarely ever get the chance to speak to a native. But this method of speaking practice have done wonders for me and my Chinese that I feel that I don't even need to speak with anyone. But of course, where ever I get the chance, I speak to them, but rarely do I get that chance. But practicing speaking with myself fills that gap.
Excellent points. Most language teaching/learning programmes seem to be built around extrovert characteristics, skills and strengths. I wonder what a course designed around introverts (or even autists) would look like. If there's any language ripe for this experiment, it must be Japanese! Teacher personality also makes a big difference. My friend and I recently started a 2-on-1 class. The first teacher we met was so loud, so in-your-face and so eager to charge through the material that we immediately changed teacher. Now we have a tutor who is a little quiet, restrained, meticulous and methodical, and that makes all the difference.
@@matthewbitter532 This is a very good technique. It's one I used to sharpen up my French pronunciation and diction many years ago when doing my A-levels. Part of language production is just getting the words out with good pronunciation, intubation and rhythm, regardless of mistakes in grammar, idiom or sense. Without this ability, having perfect language skills is useless, so solo speaking practice is absolutely necessary.
I'm too terrified to make my own sentence, that i type in google translate in japanese to english just to make sure i'm making sense... Some japanese i've talked to said my japanese is fine but, i'm sure they're being nice. 😝
Haha, same for me. ^^; I form a japanese sentence in my head and then I write in in Google Translate and translate it from Japanese to English/German to see if it makes sense, before posting it. If it makes sense - good. If not, there's probably a particle wrong or something like that. And then, when I post it, japanese people often say "Oh, your Japanese is so good" and I think: "Well ... thanks to Google Translate" ^^;
Great video. I don’t have the problem of remembering vocabulary. But using it? Impossible. I basically understood the first 10 minutes of this video without a hitch. Will listen again to the remainder later. Some great tips. Interesting that we are talking got not to read aloud in our native schooling because it slows us down.
you are my best teacher ever! somehow I understand 70% from the conversation without reading the subtitle. I studied Japanese for 2 years around 8 years ago. When I heard the words, suddenly I just knew the meaning. of course also because I watched your grammar video several times, and speak to my laptop screen as we are in the class. 本当にありがとうございます。
Some really good tips, thank you. I've been learning japanese for 4 months now and can understand most of it here if I focus but speaking is very hard for me because I don't know any japanese friends and am too shy for Italki or Hellotalk. So I will use these tips here from now on.
@@geoffreycurrie9582 Don't know how he archieved it... I'm 4 months into Japanese as well and I can only understand segments of phrases with Japanese subtitles on...
It's interesting that I can hear her accent, I thought I would only be able to recognize it in other languages. :D it seems more prominent in Japanese than in English.
こんにちはミク先生。このビデオを初めて観て、後でネコさんに聞こえます。Something really hit home with me about word recognition, speech and how the brain reacts to new sounds. Great video. 2人ともどうもうありがとございます。
Miku Sensei....I have an idea for a new method. I call it "4 Lines"...You get native Japanese speakers to translate Japanese video (reality TV, 1 on 1 interviews, documentaries, etc Terrace House is a good example). On the same screen have 4 textual lines. Top line...Japanese with furigana. Second line...Romanji. Third line...Literal English translation (awkward but it shows vocabulary and sentence structure). Fourth line...Practical English translation. Right now most video services only offer Japanese or English subtitles, but never at the same time.
Very interesting interview) and good test for me). One thing that helps me a lot is to write new words. I don't mean type them, I mean write them with a pen or pencil. Specifically in the case of Japanese, it is a way to combine kanji learning and pronunciation with vocab learning.
Writing down with your own hands definitely works well! I used to write down a lot just like exercise and that did help a lot with kanji and vocabulary!
Thanks for this video! While listening to this video I found myself pausing and respoding to your questions too. I think this will help me if I am asked those questions in the future. Do you by any chance have a video just asking questions in Japanase? I think it can be good practice for me to be able to answer faster and clearer. I think questions about feelings, goals, reasons to something would be good to articulate a good answer.
One question I have is, when learning new vocabulary, how many new words did you find to be good for you to learn in a given time period? For example: 10 new vocabulary words in per week? 10 vocabulary words every 2 weeks? I'm still figuring out what is comfortable for me, but I wonder what other people have noticed for themselves.
damn i understand a lot of this. over 50%. maybe even 75%. usually when i watch anime or something it always feels like 30%. it’s honestly tripping me out, i don’t think i’ve ever understood so much japanese consecutively.
Sometimes you only need simple grammar structures but there's SO much more than this. Watch Terrace House on netflix and you'll see how Japanese people speak to each other.
Also, conversationexchange.com is a great way to practice with a native speaker and help them with whatever language you speak that they would like to learn
In my former university in the USA where I graduated, there are some Japanese students and professors. I know a Japanese student in my major biotechnology who graduated from the university and she got married with an American there, and now they have a little daughter. I also make friends with a Korean-Japanese guy and some Japanese exchange students there, but mainly I spoke English with them. However, I also learned some Japanese from them. My dad is a medical doctor in Vietnam and he usually goes to Japan for medical conferences. I also enjoy watching programs on NHK. Well, and now I’ve finished my 1st year in my graduate school in Japan. I’m trying to learn and speak Japanese everyday 😊I enjoy Detective Conan, Doraemon and Dragon Balls when I was a child, they’re really famous in Vietnam, and currently I’m watching Kamakura dono no 13 nin aka The 13 Lords of the Shogun 😊
I have studied Japanese for 2 years. I can undestand almost everything in this video, but I can't make a simple conversation. I'm trying to find Japanese friends...
Try to search for meet up for Japanese learners in your area. It's not for sure there would be Japanese people, but you can still practice your conversation skills!

Great tips! when I first began learning Japanese in college, I am a Spanish and English native speaker, I began by trying to process the Japanese grammar and phonics using English. I mean, it made sense! right? the resources used were in English, so I was using English to learn Japanese. I failed really bad, my grades were at around the lower grade scale. Then! one day, I was reviewing the Japanese kana, and realized that Japanese phonetically was like Spanish, they sounded similar! that my brain made a connection. I then switched over to using Spanish, and the grammar and particles made so much sense! I began to write in Spanish first and then I would "translate" it into Japanese. I would bring these notes and showed it to my Japanese professor. And they were amazed that I was able to use particles a lot better, compared to how I was using them in the past. My Japanese professor told me to keep on doing what I was doing. I continued, my grades went to the higher range. That was close to 15 years ago, I stopped learning Japanese. But...stuff was still in my brain. Just this year, I began to relearn Japanese and everything is coming back. I went to a Japanese community center and I am paying to take Japanese language classes. It is worth the money! because I really want to get a 3rd language under my belt. :) Anyways, what Daria said about being lucky when it comes to knowing Russian before Japanese, and in a way her ears and mind were ready to receive and process Japanese input, is totally on the "nose!" I went through that as well with Japanese and Spanish sharing the same phonetic sounds. I can hear a Japanese word or someone speaking in Japanese, and I can tell when it is Japanese. I can then take what they said and use it myself. Then I look at the dictionary and read the meaning and repeat it, processing it in my brain. If there's a complex grammar, I tend to translate a whole Japanese grammar point into Spanish and it pretty much cements that grammar point in my brain with its correct usage. This what happens when one already knows 2 languages, and is going towards learning another language. Our brains work really differently, when it comes to learning more languages.
て form can be used to connect sentences. Like “and” in English or “then” なくて is the negative of the て form. For example, 今日は店に行って、何もを買わなくて帰った。I went to the store, didn’t buy anything then went home. Also なくて is used to say must. なくてはならない is a grammar pattern that means “must”. For example, 私はこの薬を飲めなくてはならない. I must take this medicine.
I watched the entire video and was able to understand probably 以上75% however I somehow forgot the words "sagasu" and "oboeru" which I knew way, way before actively studying Japanese, I dunno what's wrong with my brain? 😫
Oh wow thank you so much Miku! I got to tell you that this video helped me a lot! As a first year student, I got to meet Japanese friends before corona, and now it's a bit more 難しい for writing but especially listening/speaking. And my motivation has to come back of course!!! I should watch this more times :D
This is going to sound super negative, but hear me out. I’m so excited that you consider that lady fluent. I noticed a few grammatical mistakes she made off the bat. I often get so afraid to make small mistakes, like Japanese people would judge me and hate me for it. They’ve never (visibly) done that to me, but it’s still a fear of mine. This makes me feel like Japanese people are a lot more open and excited that foreigners are making an effort to speak Japanese
You do realize that the odd grammatical error here and there doesn't mean that you are not fluent, right? You'll often hear fluent English speakers sometimes dropping articles or plurals but that does not affect their ability to communicate. As long as they can express their thoughts articulately and speak clearly effortlessly, they are fluent. I have heard Mike sensei herself make errors but she clearly very fluent in English
So clear and not over done,subarashi I write poetry --I like some nihongo no poems they are so atmospheric they inspire me to learn more Nihongo..Sozeki is my favourite writer -so much feeling and understanding his works move me even in English translations.He makes me want to paint I wish I could read him in Nihongo.u r a great support in my struggle to learn.

I think to get fluent in a language you need develop a crush on it, get obsessed, and stalk it like a creepy weirdo.
Exactly, we need to love it. I have seen many students get tired of the big syllabus, kanjis and eventually stop coming to the class. If we don't love this language from the start till the end then no sensei in the world can make you pass jlpt or get fluent.
No.
So like Hinata?
Right!!
I cannot really agree. I became fluent in English simply because it's the go-to language in the age of the internet.
I've been at it for little over a year now. what i've learned, is that when listening, it's important not to get too fixated on the words you don't know, you end up missing out on the context and conversation. If you miss something, just let it go. it will eventually resurface.

Whenever a dialogue comes,
I pause it,

Then I'll hit play again to hear how they pronounced the sentence (things like doush-ta, not dou-shi-ta).
This gives me reading, speaking and listening practice.

The process is somewhat slow and tiring for someone with no practice but it's a good way to get practice without feeling too dry.

It really works!
This is a great idea!

Very useful tips 👍🏼👍🏼
very helpful.thanks
すごい! ありがとう 🙏

One question I have is, when learning new vocabulary, how many new words did you find to be good for you to learn in a given time period?
For example:
10 new vocabulary words in per week?
10 vocabulary words every 2 weeks?
I'm still figuring out what is comfortable for me, but I wonder what other people have noticed for themselves.
Thank you mikusensei I’ve got a lot of tips
LOOK UP THE 'MIApproach' it's life-changing! Matt vs Japan has the best language videos!

damn i understand a lot of this. over 50%. maybe even 75%. usually when i watch anime or something it always feels like 30%. it’s honestly tripping me out, i don’t think i’ve ever understood so much japanese consecutively.
You need to input in more content such as anime. You can't just simply learn grammar and a handful of words and expect to understand anime.

So... Do regular conversations like these usually only use n4-n5 stuff?
Sometimes you only need simple grammar structures but there's SO much more than this. Watch Terrace House on netflix and you'll see how Japanese people speak to each other.
Also, conversationexchange.com is a great way to practice with a native speaker and help them with whatever language you speak that they would like to learn
In my former university in the USA where I graduated, there are some Japanese students and professors. I know a Japanese student in my major biotechnology who graduated from the university and she got married with an American there, and now they have a little daughter. I also make friends with a Korean-Japanese guy and some Japanese exchange students there, but mainly I spoke English with them. However, I also learned some Japanese from them. My dad is a medical doctor in Vietnam and he usually goes to Japan for medical conferences. I also enjoy watching programs on NHK. Well, and now I’ve finished my 1st year in my graduate school in Japan. I’m trying to learn and speak Japanese everyday 😊I enjoy Detective Conan, Doraemon and Dragon Balls when I was a child, they’re really famous in Vietnam, and currently I’m watching Kamakura dono no 13 nin aka The 13 Lords of the Shogun 😊
What's up with out right study'ers as opposed of not really studying in school at all???@George Brown 3
I have studied Japanese for 2 years. I can undestand almost everything in this video, but I can't make a simple conversation. I'm trying to find Japanese friends...
hello talk and tandem
Try to search for meet up for Japanese learners in your area. It's not for sure there would be Japanese people, but you can still practice your conversation skills!
I go to a Japanese class once a week, but there are just few little conversations with your friend and it doesn't help me. 😅 (sorry my english)
@@ainomariaaurora9748 I recommend you to find Japanese friends on italkie ot hello talk! You can do shadowing audio alone as well! I created 2 products to improve your fluency and speaking on your own!
And if you choose certain class of Patreon, you get to join our Real Japanese community where I will be holding live stream with them!

いいね、ダリアさんはたくさん霊感がある! このチャンネルが最高だ!!
@miku sensei. Is her Japanese as good as your English?
I really like your channel
So for these listening practices it would be helpful to also have the japanese subtitles.
ありがとうみく
I could understand most of it. But cannot speak.Can you tell me how to remember vocabulary?
I am happy I don’t need to turn on the subtitles
いい動画、学んだことができます！
What's different between "とか" and "とき"??
ありがとうございます
i hope i can be fluent as her😍😍😍
どうもありがとうございます！！
Twitterでよく新しい単語を使ってみますけど多分ペンで書いたほうがいいですね。最近、例文の動画を作ってみようと思っています。それに、DiscordとかTelegramなど日本語で話すけど、私が起きているの間に日本人は寝ます（笑）。
教えてくれてありがとうございます！
時差がありますから ちょっとむずかしいですね！！！こちらこそ、ありがとうございます！
Great tips! when I first began learning Japanese in college, I am a Spanish and English native speaker, I began by trying to process the Japanese grammar and phonics using English. I mean, it made sense! right? the resources used were in English, so I was using English to learn Japanese. I failed really bad, my grades were at around the lower grade scale. Then! one day, I was reviewing the Japanese kana, and realized that Japanese phonetically was like Spanish, they sounded similar! that my brain made a connection. I then switched over to using Spanish, and the grammar and particles made so much sense! I began to write in Spanish first and then I would "translate" it into Japanese. I would bring these notes and showed it to my Japanese professor. And they were amazed that I was able to use particles a lot better, compared to how I was using them in the past. My Japanese professor told me to keep on doing what I was doing. I continued, my grades went to the higher range. That was close to 15 years ago, I stopped learning Japanese. But...stuff was still in my brain. Just this year, I began to relearn Japanese and everything is coming back. I went to a Japanese community center and I am paying to take Japanese language classes. It is worth the money! because I really want to get a 3rd language under my belt. :) Anyways, what Daria said about being lucky when it comes to knowing Russian before Japanese, and in a way her ears and mind were ready to receive and process Japanese input, is totally on the "nose!" I went through that as well with Japanese and Spanish sharing the same phonetic sounds. I can hear a Japanese word or someone speaking in Japanese, and I can tell when it is Japanese. I can then take what they said and use it myself. Then I look at the dictionary and read the meaning and repeat it, processing it in my brain. If there's a complex grammar, I tend to translate a whole Japanese grammar point into Spanish and it pretty much cements that grammar point in my brain with its correct usage. This what happens when one already knows 2 languages, and is going towards learning another language. Our brains work really differently, when it comes to learning more languages.
Which app should I use to get Japanese?

I remember meeting you in venice California.
I'm a pretty fast learner it only took me a day to memorize all the hiragana characters I'm now going to katakana
After seeing khanji you're gonna give up😂
Me too it takes only days for me to learn hiragana writing and reading, after celebrating I got a high fever due to exhaustion. Lol
I heard なくて a lot - wondering how it was used in context
て form can be used to connect sentences. Like “and” in English or “then” なくて is the negative of the て form. For example, 今日は店に行って、何もを買わなくて帰った。I went to the store, didn’t buy anything then went home.
Also なくて is used to say must. なくてはならない is a grammar pattern that means “must”. For example, 私はこの薬を飲めなくてはならない. I must take this medicine.
I dont understand all the words, but i definitely can hear her japanese with a little European accent.
I'm estudy English, its my first video in Japanese and don't have anything idea of nothing and where start? 😂💔
Are you studying Japanese?
@@marvineunoia3439 I want but.. Its more hard than my language Spanish :(
@@OliverosVictor1 I feel you. I am also a beginner and having a hard time studying. However, it is also fun. I know you can do it. 🙂😊🙏
@@OliverosVictor1 check out George Trombley's Japanese from zero series.
@@mattk6343 thanks!!!
I watched the entire video and was able to understand probably 以上75% however I somehow forgot the words "sagasu" and "oboeru" which I knew way, way before actively studying Japanese, I dunno what's wrong with my brain? 😫
ASHERUISE lack of practicing everyday?
@@ushidanouchida UM ACTUALLY I study every day I'm just really dumb, so...😤
She lives in Charlotte? That's where I live! I would LOVE to know where there are meet ups so i can practice!
I have heard of one meet up, but I think it meets uptown during the week and I work. I'm looking for an evening or weekend meet up. Please advise!
Oh wow thank you so much Miku! I got to tell you that this video helped me a lot! As a first year student, I got to meet Japanese friends before corona, and now it's a bit more 難しい for writing but especially listening/speaking. And my motivation has to come back of course!!! I should watch this more times :D
How to be a millionaire and not pay taxes.
First: Get a million dollars.
Second:
This is going to sound super negative, but hear me out. I’m so excited that you consider that lady fluent. I noticed a few grammatical mistakes she made off the bat.
I often get so afraid to make small mistakes, like Japanese people would judge me and hate me for it. They’ve never (visibly) done that to me, but it’s still a fear of mine.
This makes me feel like Japanese people are a lot more open and excited that foreigners are making an effort to speak Japanese
そうですね？発音と表現が少し変です。私自分の経験には誰もネガチブ何も言いない。たくさん間違えを犯すから！
You do realize that the odd grammatical error here and there doesn't mean that you are not fluent, right? You'll often hear fluent English speakers sometimes dropping articles or plurals but that does not affect their ability to communicate. As long as they can express their thoughts articulately and speak clearly effortlessly, they are fluent. I have heard Mike sensei herself make errors but she clearly very fluent in English
Dynamo7 that’s my point, yes.
How can I get fluent in California?
What does ぺらぺらに means?
Fluently
Simple video for practice your japanese language
Nice video, I was able to get most of it, (I was using auto generated Japanese subtitles)!! Thank you very much
I can confirm that for a Russian listener, phonetics of Japanese is pleasant and easy to listen, while English sounds somewhat alien, difficult.
In conclusion, output is more effective than input.
If you haven't had enough input, no it's not. It's absurd to practice a language in which you only know 10 words of.
Brazil watching 2019 ?
❤🎉 nice Miku Sensei.
