It’s astonishing how fast children can immerse themselves into the other culture. As a Japanese I can say that the children there sound just like normal Japanese kids at their age.
When you grow up amongst native speakers and learn the language that tends to happen. I live in a multiracial country (Singapore) and I've seen lots of non-natives picking up our native accent and speech mannerism, even though they were originally from China, Philippines or India. However when they speak to their family members, their accents changes back to their native accent, be it English or their mother tongue.
I enjoy how expressive the dad is! Very hard for a male role model to express emotions in front of your kids! Too many try to be “masculine” and try to fit those roles! It’s refreshing to see a dad that isn’t afraid to show his children that! Amazing and keep it up!!!!
Kids brains help with intake too. My daughter became fully conversational at 7 with a 3 month visit to the in-laws -- mom is Japanese, so she had a good precursor knowledge. Came back to the U.S. and couldn't converse in English for about a month, pretty wild.
Living in a country doesn't guarantee fluency. There are so many kids who live in a host country but will attend an international school for example where English is the language of instruction. My friend who I met while studying French, speaks better French than he does Thai despite living in Thailand for 16 years, because his parents wanted him to get a "better education" at the international school.
@@eb.3764 That's true, but it's also not super remarkable if their parents decided to send them to a non-international school. They speak good Japanese because of how they grew up - A Japanese person living in America is more likely not to know Japanese than a person that has to deal with Japanese every day tbh
I love how they adapted Japanese culture like saying “tadaima” and their children are so well behaved like how Japanese kids are Japan is a good place to move in with children as they are being taught manners and respect since young
@kim chi That's not true tho. Respect and good behavior are things that kids learn from his parents. If you are good at parenting and you spend enough quality time with your children, they will behave respectfully no matter where you raise them.
My dad was an English teacher in Osaka, I lived there from 7 to 11 years old and one thing I regret was not learning Japanese, I was at an international school for foreigner kids, and it was over 20 years ago
Damn I feel you. I was in New Zealand as a Japanese exchange student for a while but the only thing I regret is not going to watch allblacks game but slurping noodles in my room.
@@junetori122736 Lots of exchange students eventually end up that way lol. The world's globalized nowadays and you can quite manage to live without using local language if you wanted to..
@@junetori122736 I’m from New Zealand and I’ve been to a few rugby games and you honestly didn’t miss much, it’s pretty boring. I only ever went for the food. It seems New Zealand is a popular destination for Japanese exchange students as I know quite a few.
The kids are incredible but hats off to you two! It's clear that you're 100% trying to immerse not just your kids but yourselves in Japanese life and it's really inspiring. Would love to see another one of these 'all Japanese' videos once your heads recover from this one ;)
Born and raised in Asia, we are taught English as a second language from kinder to senior high. So it is refreshing to hear westerners speak an Asian language other than their mother tongue. So happy for your family!
Imagine the opportunities that these children's will have when they grow up. In today's industry especially in hospitality industry, multi lingual persons are the most requested due to growing numbers of tourists around the world.
Last week, I came to Canada from Japan. I was depressed because I couldn't speak English at all, but watching this video cheered me up. I will try do my best to study English more.
You guys creating a powerhouse. Those kids will be unbelievably valued in the workforce since they seem to speak fluent Japanese and English. Because in Japan it's rare to find people that are capable of speaking English still whilst in most European countries it's basically standard. They would be more surprised if you couldn't use English at all.
I'm learning Spanish in school this year and I started learning Japanese 2 years ago but learning feels impossible trying to learn Japanese with kanji .-. It probably would have been easier learning really young like them
this is interesting...because I started learning Japanese a few months ago and tried to build my Japanese vocabulary, it's swell to be able to see that the English translations are accurate, word-for-word. This is due to your excellent translation work for the dialogue between your family. But for me it was being able to recognize most of the the Japanese words and match them with the English ones. That was the best part, fun also. Thank you.
As someone who's experienced being a Japanese kid raised in the US, I distinctly remember how uncomfortable I felt when my Japanese parents tried to talk to me in English occasionally back then. 1. It just feels weird to talk to them in English. They're "people who I talk in Japanese", and that labeling somehow was pretty robust for me then (I feel like this is a thing for bilingual kids in general). 2. Even as a kid, I knew that (at least in terms of fluency & pronunciation) my English was way better than theirs. It's already hard trying to understand the English world outside, and now what did I do to deserve this additional guessing game at home of understanding BAD English?? So overall, while I do think this 1-day project was cute, I think I can really empathize with the girl at the end saying "it was hard to understand you though + ROLL EYES". I know! PARENTS!
u r not alone. Same with me when Im talking cantonese only to my parents and have to switch over to dialect when we visit relatives in france xDDD And to my brother I only speak german instead of cantonese. Cause cantonese i only use for elder ppl that have a hard time with german.
Same here in Switzerland, we are from Indonesia. Like we speak German outside, but at home pretty much Indonesian or English all the time. I also noticed that my German is getting better in a different pace then my parents.
@som Slovaak It's been some years, but my father worked with a company in Switzerland. They told him to come over, so here we are now. The paperwork did take quite a while though, about more than a half-year. I heard the company hired a lawyer too. So it needed hard work from both inside and outside, I guess.
This was absolutely すばらし！ my kids loved. its hard to find content on the internet with kids speaking Japanese in their everyday life but this was definitely what we were looking for. Raw responses from the kids and it had put a smile on my kids faces knowing other kids out there are thinking the same as them when learning a new language. ありがとうございます！
Your kids' Japanese sounds like just the local Japanese kids. That is sooo cool. It's amazing how kids easily learn languages when you expose them to it at a young age. The intonations are perfect too! They truly sound great. I love watching this video!

Ben Withington well they’re speaking english at home. I was the opposite, i spoke japanese at home and english at school. it made it difficult to speak both languages well.
@@yutoshiraishi2451 Are you half Japanese- half English? If you were taught to speak both languages in your family when you are still young, I think it would not be difficult as it is now when you've already grown up.
Vĩ Võ đại my parents immigrated to the us from japan and i was going to school speaking english and went home speaking japanese. yea now i’m good with both but i struggled when i was yohnger
This is pretty amazing to watch. I'm half Japanese (living in Canada) and I don't remember the last time I went a full day speaking Japanese. It's impressive. These kids have really adapted into the culture and their speech flow is so natural.

It's so cool to see how fast kids can catch up. I went to school in germany during the refugee crisis and many kids just were super fast to catch up with the language and everything.

I always somehow burst out crying watching your videos. I never had a family as warm as happy as you, I'm sure you guys have your obstacles and moments in life where its rough. But your videos always warms my heart
We certainly have our moments (sometimes many) of difficulties, but it really encourages me to read your comment. I pray you can enjoy warm family dynamics personally someday!
素晴らしいな、こうして多国籍な家族が増えてそれに対して寛容的になってきてる日本もLife in Japanさんの家庭も。 I was born in Japan and grew up there but I really had a hard time since I'm half Caucasian and was always seen and labeled as a foreigner. So much so that I just straight dipped from Japan when I was 20 and moved to Canada. But seeing your family I'm really happy that it seems to be changing and becoming a place that's more welcoming and understanding towards diverse people. Maybe one day I might just move back, I felt there might be hope.
This is the first video I watched of you all but I absolutely loveeee when the whole family can communite in the countries language. Normally its only a kid or adult that is still learning. So good job at having basically near native level speaking children (3/4 that i heard) including parents. Its great.
Los niños se adaptaron muy bien al nuevo idioma, eso es asombroso. Quisiera hacer algo así con mi madre, somos colombianas pero ambas sabemos inglés, sin embargo hablar el idioma se nos dificulta enormemente, un día entero solo hablando inglés podría ayudarnos bastante. The children adapted very well to the new language, it's amazing! I want to do something like that with my mother, we are Colombian but we both know English, however it's very difficult to speak the language, a whole day speaking in English will help a lot.
I just came across your page! And I’m so excited! I’m an Australian born Japanese who only visited Japan 3 times in my life so seeing how you live there is so exciting to watch as I grew up in Australia! いっぱい学びさせていただいてます。ありがとうございます❗️がんばっていますね。I can’t imagine the difficulties living in a different country and learning about the cultures so it’s really amazing! As someone who has a Japanese background but not going to school to learn it and only learnt it from my household I would definitely struggle myself living in 日本so I want to say how wonderful you are all doing! 私も日本語をもっと勉強したいと思います〜thanks again for your videos from your beautiful family!
yeah thats basically how i feel too, im an american-born half japanese/other asian ethnicity i wont name. and i can only understand some japanese but i can’t really read or speak it.
Not good nor bad, just a comment seeing my brazilian relatives living in Japan: At some point, your kids' primary language will move to Japanese as they are only practicing English within your home environment. But being bilingual will always be a plus for their lives!
素晴らしい！日本に住んで下さり、日本語を使う日を毎週火曜日の1日しか使わないとは言え、かなり流暢ですね！ Your family is rare and excellent American people with a mind to speak fairly fluent Japanese conversation on every Tuesday! Anyway, I give a great respect for Reutter's family living in Tokyo, appreciated. Enjoy your life in Japan!
I saw some negative comments on the parents’ accents, and I say, who cares? I’ve heard worse, but regardless, it’s hard adapting phonetics of non-native languages. I can understand their Japanese well, and I appreciate that they learned the language! I think that’s very respectful to the culture.
love that all my fellow english speaking Japanese people came here to collectively agree on how good their accents are!! the kids literally sound exactly like a local Japanese kid, it's impressive! みんな日本語めっちゃ上手！！
I love Dad's enthusiasm in every video! The family looks so happy in Japan. Mom and Dad are wonderful with kids. It just makes my heart warm to see a happy family:)
Yo I learned so much from this video. These kids have waay better japanese than I do and its so helpful to watch the family say things a bit slower whilst still being able to communicate with each other. Defintely sving this.
Kids pick up accents quite easily when they move somewhere at a young age and when they grew up going to school in Japanese they pick up the pronunciation and everything else. It's much harder as an adult to learn these things and get accent and pronunciation down. Even in English languages accents are all over the place for kids, my cousin lived near me as a kid then the family moved to Scotland when she was 6 and now she has a strong Scottish accent. That kid who played Newt in Aliens is from America but was living in England at the time as her dad was in the Air Force so she had a British accent at the time of filming. She sounds American as an adult.
@@robertrijkers4923 they speak with an American accent in English and then the kids switch to pretty phenomenal Japanese. :) The parents definitely have an English-influenced accent in Japanese though.
as someone who is part japanese and speaks it fluently, it makes me smile the way these kids can speak japanese so fluently just like a native would. what a beautiful wholesome video
Wow this is awesome!! I've been studying japanese on and off for a year, but I still struggling with it, but this video motived me and also the fact you guys prayed before the meal and keep god is a beautiful thing! Keep the good work up and God bless you guys 👍!

I always somehow burst out crying watching your videos. I never had a family as warm as happy as you, I'm sure you guys have your obstacles and moments in life where its rough. But your videos always warms my heart
We certainly have our moments (sometimes many) of difficulties, but it really encourages me to read your comment. I pray you can enjoy warm family dynamics personally someday!
みなさん日本語上手ですね✨わたしも英語頑張ります！
私も外人んですが 今日本語を勉強してる。このビデオは私にやくにたちましたから、どうもありがとうございました
私も外人ですが、今日本語を勉強しています。このビデオは私にとって役に立ちました。どうもありがとうございます。
I think it better!!!!!!がんばってください！
日本人として、すごく楽しめる動画でした👍 落ちも完璧でした(笑)
I 'm japanese.
お子さん達が 話す日本語が 何の違和感もなく 聞こえます。
英語、日本語 両方が使い分けられるのが、すごいなと思います。
この家族を見ていると自然と凄い笑顔になります。どうか幸せに日本を過ごしてください🇯🇵
子供達の日本語発音めっちゃ上手い。Native level. Hope they don't lose it!
こんな素晴らしい家族が日本語で話して下さっているのを見て日本人としてとても嬉しいです！益々皆でお幸せに！応援しています！
素晴らしいな、こうして多国籍な家族が増えてそれに対して寛容的になってきてる日本もLife in Japanさんの家庭も。
I was born in Japan and grew up there but I really had a hard time since I'm half Caucasian and was always seen and labeled as a foreigner. So much so that I just straight dipped from Japan when I was 20 and moved to Canada. But seeing your family I'm really happy that it seems to be changing and becoming a place that's more welcoming and understanding towards diverse people. Maybe one day I might just move back, I felt there might be hope.
とても幸せそうなご家族でこちらもいつも幸せを頂きながら拝見させてもらっています。
母国と環境が違う中、困る事が多々あると思いますが助けてくれる優しい日本人は沢山います。一緒に頑張りましょう😊
This is the first video I watched of you all but I absolutely loveeee when the whole family can communite in the countries language. Normally its only a kid or adult that is still learning. So good job at having basically near native level speaking children (3/4 that i heard) including parents. Its great.
素晴らしいご家族ですね。将来が楽しみですね。健康で長く日本に住んで下さい。応援してます。
Los niños se adaptaron muy bien al nuevo idioma, eso es asombroso. Quisiera hacer algo así con mi madre, somos colombianas pero ambas sabemos inglés, sin embargo hablar el idioma se nos dificulta enormemente, un día entero solo hablando inglés podría ayudarnos bastante.
The children adapted very well to the new language, it's amazing! I want to do something like that with my mother, we are Colombian but we both know English, however it's very difficult to speak the language, a whole day speaking in English will help a lot.
以前から聞きたかった皆さんの日本語が聞けてとてもうれしいです！！ルースさんもネイトさんもとても日本語がお上手ですね！レベッカちゃんとアナちゃんは日本人のように話していましたが、やはり疲れるんですね(笑)。とても楽しい動画でした。次の動画も楽しみにしています！ありがとう！！
I just came across your page! And I’m so excited! I’m an Australian born Japanese who only visited Japan 3 times in my life so seeing how you live there is so exciting to watch as I grew up in Australia! いっぱい学びさせていただいてます。ありがとうございます❗️がんばっていますね。I can’t imagine the difficulties living in a different country and learning about the cultures so it’s really amazing! As someone who has a Japanese background but not going to school to learn it and only learnt it from my household I would definitely struggle myself living in 日本so I want to say how wonderful you are all doing! 私も日本語をもっと勉強したいと思います〜thanks again for your videos from your beautiful family!
Thanks so much!
娘さんたち、日本語がとても上手いけど
字も、とてもキレイな上手い字を書いていて
すごいと思います。
日本では、字がキレイな人は
字が汚い人より、いい事がありますよ
そうですね。
文字が綺麗=心が良い(綺麗)と見る日本人は多いですよね。多分…文字は相手に気持ちを伝える表現なので…その気遣いが出来る人!!!…そう認識されるのだと思います。
Damn your Japanese is better than mine I'm half and can't even speak Japanese or read all I can do is understand what they say lol
so relatable im half French/Algerian and i can only speak french but understand arabic... what a pain
yeah thats basically how i feel too, im an american-born half japanese/other asian ethnicity i wont name. and i can only understand some japanese but i can’t really read or speak it.
I relate. I am half Finnish and half Turkish.
I speak Swedish but I can not speak Turkish or Finnish.
@@pastelfart 💀
The parents’ accent is just terrible lol 😐
Not good nor bad, just a comment seeing my brazilian relatives living in Japan: At some point, your kids' primary language will move to Japanese as they are only practicing English within your home environment. But being bilingual will always be a plus for their lives!
素晴らしい！日本に住んで下さり、日本語を使う日を毎週火曜日の1日しか使わないとは言え、かなり流暢ですね！
Your family is rare and excellent American people with a mind to speak fairly fluent Japanese conversation on every Tuesday! Anyway, I give a great respect for Reutter's family living in Tokyo, appreciated. Enjoy your life in Japan!
女の子たちの日本語はじょうずだけれど、やはり日本語は疲れちゃうんだね。サラちゃんが、学校楽しかったって言ってくれて、うれしい。
I saw some negative comments on the parents’ accents, and I say, who cares? I’ve heard worse, but regardless, it’s hard adapting phonetics of non-native languages. I can understand their Japanese well, and I appreciate that they learned the language! I think that’s very respectful to the culture.
外国の方が、日本語を話してくれてると
なんだか嬉しい気持ちになります。
これからも家族みんなが健康でありますように。^_^
love that all my fellow english speaking Japanese people came here to collectively agree on how good their accents are!! the kids literally sound exactly like a local Japanese kid, it's impressive! みんな日本語めっちゃ上手！！
I love Dad's enthusiasm in every video! The family looks so happy in Japan. Mom and Dad are wonderful with kids. It just makes my heart warm to see a happy family:)
日本語で話すときは苦労が伴うのでしょうね。しかしながら、アナちゃんレベッカちゃんの日本語の発音はとても自然で可愛い声です。ますますファンになってしまいました。
大人になってからの外国語は習得は大変！お父さんお母さんにとっては、長い一日でしたね（笑）お疲れさまでした☆
幼少期を思い出しました。
私は7歳で沖縄に移住し、英語しか話せなかったのですが、動画でされてる様に、日本語縛りで数ヶ月で日本語を覚えた記憶があります。
厳しい家庭環境で英語禁止でした。
子供の脳みそはとても柔軟ですね。
いつの間にか日本語に逆転してしまいました。
今となっては、英語を忘れてしまった事を後悔してます。
お子さん達の将来を考え、英語を忘れる事
のない事を祈ってます。
多分、ありえないですが。笑
学校では日本語。
家では英語。
これが1番いい感じがします＾＾
羨ましがるご家庭沢山いらっしゃると思いますよ＾＾
長文失礼しました。
凄い凄いすごーい！
みんな、日本語上手でしたよーーー！
ありがとう！
ありがとう！
Yo I learned so much from this video. These kids have waay better japanese than I do and its so helpful to watch the family say things a bit slower whilst still being able to communicate with each other. Defintely sving this.
children speak fluent Japanese without American English accent.
Splendid!
That's what immersion will do =)
Kids pick up accents quite easily when they move somewhere at a young age and when they grew up going to school in Japanese they pick up the pronunciation and everything else. It's much harder as an adult to learn these things and get accent and pronunciation down. Even in English languages accents are all over the place for kids, my cousin lived near me as a kid then the family moved to Scotland when she was 6 and now she has a strong Scottish accent.
That kid who played Newt in Aliens is from America but was living in England at the time as her dad was in the Air Force so she had a British accent at the time of filming. She sounds American as an adult.
cause they grew up and studied in Japan, certainly they are able to speak natively.......
why would australians have an american english accent ? ;p
@@robertrijkers4923 they speak with an American accent in English and then the kids switch to pretty phenomenal Japanese. :) The parents definitely have an English-influenced accent in Japanese though.
as someone who is part japanese and speaks it fluently, it makes me smile the way these kids can speak japanese so fluently just like a native would. what a beautiful wholesome video
We're working on it!
大人になってからの日本語は難しいと思います。でも、たくさん日本人と会話するのが早道だと思います。漢字は難しいから早く覚えなきゃとか思わないほうがいいと思います。
Wow this is awesome!! I've been studying japanese on and off for a year, but I still struggling with it, but this video motived me and also the fact you guys prayed before the meal and keep god is a beautiful thing! Keep the good work up and God bless you guys 👍!
