The main reason for me is 1) Because I dont know any language besides english 2) Because my crush right now in highschool wants to learn it so I want to impress
for me kanji isn't hard at all because i'm chinese but hiragana and katakana is so confusing. at least they have alphabets, chinese doesnt have any lol
My parents are Japanese/I can speak it and I can confirm that 1. Japanese is hard, like you said, 2. all these tips are really good!! Helpful!! 3. your japanese is good! overall i love this video so much
+Mei Egoshi Aw I'm so happy to hear this from someone who is Japanese/speaks Japanese! That's awesome! 私のビデオを見てありがとうございます💕 And thank you for saying my Japanese is good ^.^ * blushes * More to come, I appreciate the feedback 😊
The most american thing to say to someone is "you are being racist for speaking to someone in their native tongue" but you can not be upset when someone approaches you in their native tongue.
El trovador Mudo ummmm do you forget the concept of “brown” came from Europe, US declared independence from England, hence our language, and England had controlled so many countries and influenced so many places, and ummm you remember slave trade from history class? And tbh no one hates being referred to as “brown” people rlly don’t care people only care when you make a racist remark. And to try and point our whole country on it is a bit rude. And yes we like to say where our ancestors are fr I’m Irish, Mexican, Spanish, Native, and East European. We are proud of heritage. And Americans know Spaniards are not brown! And being honest with you we don’t call anyone “brown” if it’s a white family, being honest, people say it’s a white family, if it’s a Mexican family people say Mexican family, if it’s a Arab family people say Arab. The only time people use “brown” is referring to skin not the individual. And you say categories of skin only exists in US? Excuse how about African Countries where there is genocide based of their shade of brown. How about Asia, where light skin is favored, there are sooo many countries that favor light skin. To say the US is the only country is a lie.
Im learning Japanese but i live in a small town in Australia.....i have never met someone here that speaks any Japanese so i never get to practice ;( i am only 13 so i cant go out places to learn it and my school doesnt study Japanese at all ://
Amethyst Rowe u can use ohmyjapan or italki.u can find online japanese friends there.. my tips are : 1.if u r really good and confident with ur japanese, use ohmyjapan. 2.if u still new..spend some money and use italki. i hope it will help :) i have use both and i prefer use italki because I'm still beginner in japanese.

私はこれが好きです！いい日本語を話しますね〜 がんばって！(I like this! You speak good Japanese~ Keep up the good work!)Hello! I'm 14, and I'm Japanese and can speak English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and am currently taking French. I'm amazed how much you learned by yourself, and keep up the good work :D I love your videos by the way~
Jesus. I applaud you. I really want to learn Japanese but my family is mexican-american so i dont have that many connections. I am also 15 and i dont know how to start but i'm really inspired. Got any tips on how to start or anything?
こんにちは! ロバートです。 私の夢は日本に行くことです。 日本語はとても難しいですね。 Thanks for the tips, I am okay at writing and reading, but listening to Japanese/understanding spoken Japanese. Is much harder.
I am learning Japanese and I can say that one of the things that is helping me the MOST is that I speak to my children in Japanese. Anything that I can say in Japanese, I will say to them. Of course they started out not knowing what I am saying and I would have to say it once in Japanese, and then once in English, but quite quickly they have learned many of the words and phrases I am saying. This has helped me the most because it means I am speaking Japanese DAILY. Every single day. And as I learn I am adding new words and phrases. I also speak Japanese to my husband sometimes, but not as often as my kids. I should do it more though...
HelloTalk is a tricky app. I used it at some stage for improving my Mandarin (but deleted it soon afterwards since most folks just wanted to make friends and not study seriously), i created a Japanese account later on but getting a language partner was incredibly difficult. HelloTalk is a great language learning app its just that the majority of its users misuse it as another social media app xD
Zoë van Wyk Agreed. When I tried HelloTalk to practice French some perv kept trying to send me weird pictures and get my number so I stopped using it. I've been meaning to try it again because it seems like it could be a really great tool, but I'm still a bit hesitant.
Brianna Lawton try Tandem. You need to be verified as an actual person using a Facebook account, but I've found some serious language partners on there for Spanish. They have everything and you can indicate your language level on it. I found it favorable over HelloTalk and stopped using that altogether.
I used hellotalk for Japanese and made three really good friends. This was three years ago; I was 16 years old. Since then, I haven't used the app much but I am happy to say I found my best friend through there and am still in touch with those other three good friends.
I was just bored and just going through RUclips. SO I ended up watching a video of a girl's first day of school in Japan and was so curious when I saw your video on the side bar. SO glad I did because I might consider learning. Definitely subbed to you tho lovely! And you're gorgeous, omg I want your hair!
@@trippyanime4764 hello! It took about 2 years for me to learn it. The basics of Japanese aren't hard at all but once you get to katakana and kanji it gets pretty hard. Just practice and take notes of what you remember, you'll learn to speak and read it fluently in no time❤
@@kakutieegaming Thank you so much!! That’s amazing! Thank you for the information!I really want to learn japanese, do you recommend any apps or writing books or anything like that?
@@trippyanime4764 Hey! sorry for replying late If you are self teaching yourself then I will suggest the Nihongo no-matome books!

Remember that everyone moves at their own pace, so don't get discouraged if you are stuck and don't understand. It can be hard but through it their is success^^
this is very inspiring. My grandmother was Japanese. I wish I could've learned Japanese before she passed away, she would've been soooo happy. you are very smart! :-)
The only problem for me is that I'm not allowed to spend any money online unless it's really important and I can't make money since I'm only 12 T^T So I'm stuck learn the very basics of languages and never getting a full experience just because of money...
Me too, im also 12. I want to attend lessons but i dont want to burden my parents. So im here, trying to learn all the kanji and its grammar. I havent started with katakana either, but i managed to learn hiragana fully. And hey, you should try checking out websites! dont let the lack of money stop you! がんばて！ (
You should use mango languages! It teaches you a lot and all you need is a library card to sign up to use the website! For both of you guys (: mangolanguages.com/index.html Check which libraries have Mango: mangolanguages.com/libraries/find-mango/ Once you sign up, you can use it from your house or on an iPhone!
My mother is half Japanese, but I wasn't specifically taught the language; I mainly picked up what was said when family and friends were around and my Japanese *definitely* isn't anywhere near perfect. Not to mention that I'm a lottt better with speaking/listening than reading/writing >.
パリスちゃんこんにちは♡日本語を勉強してくれているなんてとっても嬉しいです :-)これからも動画のアップを楽しみにしています。Hi Paris!!! I'm glad to know you are learning Japanese :-) I'm looking forward to watch your next video♡♡♡
I learnt french from the age of 4 till I was 16. I could just about describe my lifestyle, family, my school life, my dream job and what my future is going to be like after leaving school
hiiii, i know this video is from 4 years ago but i’ve been wanting to learn japanese for a few months now and since i’m quarantined i was like WHY NOT haha. the more i was tryna find ways to learn it, the more i was giving up because ppl kept saying that it’s really hard and i don’t mind that, i see it as a challenge but i really didn’t know where to start and what to do and how to learn the writing systems and which ones to start with. you really motivated me and now i want to learn it even more because i actually know that i can do it. thank you so much for this and i wish you the best
You might not see this since this was months ago but look at the r/LearnJapanese subreddit. Theres a list of resources(free and paid) for learning japanese there and you can also ask questions and they will likely be answered.
You are precious! I've began my journey with learning both hiragana and katakana and I can draw and recognize them all at this point. You've helped me with figuring out what my next step is. ありがとう! I think that's right lol... If not, thank you!
Idk if you will reply 🤣 but hey it's been a year how is ur japanese?? I'm still a beginner but I want to know how far you can go after a year! even if it's not a lot I'm sure you've improved so much!!
@@catkitten0 okay not to crush ur hopes but my depression got really bad so I stopped studying but I can still confidently say after a year hiragana is still familiar to me with the occasional studying I did! Seeing ur reply makes me think I shouldn't of stopped 🙈
My mom is Japanese and she is going to travel next year to Japan with me, sooo I want to learn Japanese before next year because I want to be able to communicate with other kids my age. Ill update next year :)
Well you have to usually watch anime without subtitles. Studies show that if you're watching media in the language you want to learn with subtitles of your native language, you barely learn anything.
I started watching anime as a baby like one of my first anime’s were sailor moon and stuff but when I started watching it more seriously I was 4-5 or stuff idk but it’s never late to stuff
@@iferawhite7661 Have a basic foundation in Japanese first, then watch anime with JP subs. Don’t watch without subs if you’re a total beginner, you’ll not understand and learn anything at all.
Legit the best video I've found on learning Japanese. I'll be starting study this year and I work on my phone so this is insanely helpful! Thank you so much!
Hi! can you tell me..... That like I am willing to go to japan as an exchange program student by a private company Is it worth it? And what restrictions are possible we face there? Thanks in Advance!! :D
Thank you so much for the fantastic info. I just downloaded the Mirai Japanese app. I speak and practice Spanish, Chinese, and Arabic and wanted to add Japanese but had not taken it up yet. Today I'm sick with the flu and was surfing RUclips and I thought after seeing your video today is the day lol
I realised this sounds like I subscribed JUST for that but I meant I started the video, heard it, subscribed, THEN watched the rest of the video and thoroughly enjoyed it ^3^
I guess I'm years late to this video! But I wanted to say thank you for suggesting the apps that you did! I've been studying Japanese as a hobby with a tutor which is challenging but it's fun! For about a week and a half I've studied it but Mirai Japanese is the first source that's actually made sense when stringing a sentence together. I'm taking it slowly but again thank you miss!
I watched this vid awhile ago and fell in love with mirai japanese! I later got a new phone but didn't save the app and earlier I was complaining to my sister about it and I finally came back to this video and found it!!!
Stan talent Stan Hoshi,sana, taehyung and got7 I believe it's that one is written using English characters/the alphabet and one using Japanese characters
I enjoyed your video. My son is studying Japanese. He spent the summer in Japan. I liked that you took something you love, then turned into you major. With your attitude, you will do well in life.
Most of the people are like I want to learn Japanese so that I can watch anime without subtitles. But I don't have any reason I just wanna learn Japanese.
When you said immerse yourself I was like: I do that already! I try to buy as many things in Japanese so I can kind of get used to it and try to understand it!
I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…
Thanks so much for all the tips! I'm learning Japanese and I am pretty much done with learning the kana (the dakuten and the compound characters are still not 100% in my head but i'm getting there ahah). I have downloaded some of the apps you've suggested (some aren't available on samsung devices). I was feeling like I didn't know how to approach the actual learning of the languages but maybe I've found my answer now :)
After watching this, you’ve motivated me so much, I feel like you’re such a genuine person and a sweetheart. Thank you for encouraging me to continue 頑張って💜
You are sooo beautiful !! You give good advice. I’m French and I’m learning Japanese, beginning with the Hiragana, but I find it quite hard to remember words/sentences in Japanese since it has nothing to do with the French langage and I start from nothing... We’ll see !
since it is quarantine i decided to learn japanese,but japanese is hard to learn especially sice i am a kid, that why i have a diary to right down words in it and other things,Thanks so much for the info!
T~T the first girl that's ever made my heart drop. you are so beautiful. I wish I could take learning Japanese seriously, I've been wanting to learn Japanese for the last 3 years lol
Thank you so so much!This video helped a lot!Also i tried a few of the apps listed in the description and actually they helped sooo much!For now im a beginner and i know just the hiragana and a little bit of katakana but with these apps im sure i could progress into so much more!💖💗
Wow you are absolutely gorgeous. I like that MO jacket too. That's besides the point. I've been studying Japanese for about a year now. I've used genki, Japanese from zero and a bunch of apps like tae kim guide to Japanese, Memrise, mind snacks just to name a few. That and an unhealthy amount of anime lol
I am half Japanese and I really am driven to learn it so that I can communicate better with my family and friends there and also so that I won't have too much of a hard time in college in japan. Thank you for these tips! They really helped :)
I subscribed to you because of one of your curly hair vids now you just motivated me to learn japanese. I wanna be able to watch anime without subtitles
+PinkSunshine12345 Aww wow, thank you so much! You can do it! It'll be fun and a challenge. I'm glad you liked this video, because I don't want my curly subscribers to think that I've forgotten about them! hehe, more curly videos to come as well ☺️
@@wooyngsgf yesss, I'm currently only on S3! I don't normally use crunchyroll but the only other app I could watch it was netflix! However, netflix only has 2 seasons which I watched it dub lmao (I like the dub, unpopular opinion) but now I have to watch the next 2 seasons in sub and with adds oH wElL idm the sub but adds :((
Why I want to learn Japanese:
1) watch anime without subtitles
2) travelling
1) watching anime without subtitles
2) traveling without subtitles
4. Make fun of people who doesn't understand
The main reason for me is
1) Because I dont know any language besides english
2) Because my crush right now in highschool wants to learn it so I want to impress
for me kanji isn't hard at all because i'm chinese but hiragana and katakana is so confusing. at least they have alphabets, chinese doesnt have any lol

Shiny Purrloin Correct! :D
Hi Mei Egoshi! I have spent months researching into studying Japanese and discovered a great website at Japanese Magic Method (check it out on google)
Indeed it is hard :I I can barely remember the kanji and I started yesterday ;(
The 2 main languages I want to learn are french and Japanese but right now I'm mostly doing french -Et c'est difficile
ikr. imagine watching anime without the subtitles on. would be awesome.
Saaame. I wanna travel to Japan and I want to be able to talk with my friends in France
Imlaiah 7 yes French is hard even I (who speaks french(I was born in a french country)) I have some difficulties in french 😂😅

I am learning Japanese and I can say that one of the things that is helping me the MOST is that I speak to my children in Japanese. Anything that I can say in Japanese, I will say to them. Of course they started out not knowing what I am saying and I would have to say it once in Japanese, and then once in English, but quite quickly they have learned many of the words and phrases I am saying. This has helped me the most because it means I am speaking Japanese DAILY. Every single day. And as I learn I am adding new words and phrases. I also speak Japanese to my husband sometimes, but not as often as my kids. I should do it more though...
"Oh, I had a lot of friends online, that I would talk to.."
me: Okay, I cannot do that
HelloTalk is a tricky app. I used it at some stage for improving my Mandarin (but deleted it soon afterwards since most folks just wanted to make friends and not study seriously), i created a Japanese account later on but getting a language partner was incredibly difficult. HelloTalk is a great language learning app its just that the majority of its users misuse it as another social media app xD
Zoë van Wyk Agreed. When I tried HelloTalk to practice French some perv kept trying to send me weird pictures and get my number so I stopped using it. I've been meaning to try it again because it seems like it could be a really great tool, but I'm still a bit hesitant.
Brianna Lawton try Tandem. You need to be verified as an actual person using a Facebook account, but I've found some serious language partners on there for Spanish. They have everything and you can indicate your language level on it. I found it favorable over HelloTalk and stopped using that altogether.
Ariadne Le Mans Thanks I will try it out.
Zoë van Wyk I agree!
I used hellotalk for Japanese and made three really good friends. This was three years ago; I was 16 years old. Since then, I haven't used the app much but I am happy to say I found my best friend through there and am still in touch with those other three good friends.
*sees ouran high school host club*
me: AHHHHH YESSS
Yessss
YES. ♡♡♡
*hug hug fall into a river*
Yes Mirai Japanese! Best app ever!!!!!
Faveeeeeee
is it free?
No! I mentioned it in the video already, but the first few lessons are free and then it's $5 a month after that.
Ayanna X thats my name😂😂😂
I was just bored and just going through RUclips. SO I ended up watching a video of a girl's first day of school in Japan and was so curious when I saw your video on the side bar. SO glad I did because I might consider learning. Definitely subbed to you tho lovely! And you're gorgeous, omg I want your hair!
You're so sweet!! No clue why I only just saw this but thanks for watching & subscribing!!
LeSweetpea should I go with learning from listening and english pronunciation for japanese or do I learn the writing? I am trying to learn Japanese
Sophia Debrum I saw that video too😂💯💕
Guess we both ended up at the same one too! Lol
Wow same
IM A BEGINNER IN JAPANESE THIS HELPED ALOT THANK YOU❤❤✨
Hello! have you learned japanese? if so how long did it take?
@@trippyanime4764 hello! It took about 2 years for me to learn it. The basics of Japanese aren't hard at all but once you get to katakana and kanji it gets pretty hard. Just practice and take notes of what you remember, you'll learn to speak and read it fluently in no time❤
@@trippyanime4764 also stay consistent! Consistency is key
@@kakutieegaming Thank you so much!! That’s amazing! Thank you for the information!I really want to learn japanese, do you recommend any apps or writing books or anything like that?
@@trippyanime4764 Hey! sorry for replying late If you are self teaching yourself then I will suggest the Nihongo no-matome books! They have more realistic conversations and formal greetings than other books and is less complex. I'll list them from beginner to advanced here are the links.

I couldn't find the single books for an cheaper alternative, but I found the sets^^ I really hope this helps you as much as it did for me! Remember that everyone moves at their own pace, so don't get discouraged if you are stuck and don't understand. It can be hard but through it their is success^^
that opening is from the BEST anime EVER!
this is very inspiring. My grandmother was Japanese. I wish I could've learned Japanese before she passed away, she would've been soooo happy. you are very smart! :-)
I'm taking a Japanese class in school and I am finding it really difficult, so I tried all of these ideas and now I'm getting A's
I'm half Japanese and didn't grow up learning Japanese
I love how your channel surrounds Japan and the language so thank uuuuu
And new sub 😁
The only problem for me is that I'm not allowed to spend any money online unless it's really important and I can't make money since I'm only 12 T^T
So I'm stuck learn the very basics of languages and never getting a full experience just because of money...
Same :c
Me too, im also 12. I want to attend lessons but i dont want to burden my parents. So im here, trying to learn all the kanji and its grammar. I havent started with katakana either, but i managed to learn hiragana fully. And hey, you should try checking out websites! dont let the lack of money stop you! がんばて！ (
a joann im 13, but i know my mom would say no if i ask her, because we don't have that much money
You should use mango languages! It teaches you a lot and all you need is a library card to sign up to use the website! For both of you guys (:
mangolanguages.com/index.html
Check which libraries have Mango: mangolanguages.com/libraries/find-mango/
Once you sign up, you can use it from your house or on an iPhone!
LeSweetpea Ahh thank you!! :)
My mother is half Japanese, but I wasn't specifically taught the language; I mainly picked up what was said when family and friends were around and my Japanese *definitely* isn't anywhere near perfect. Not to mention that I'm a lottt better with speaking/listening than reading/writing >.
i’ve been trying to find a way to start learning Japanese and this video helped me so much thank you!!
パリスちゃんこんにちは♡日本語を勉強してくれているなんてとっても嬉しいです :-)これからも動画のアップを楽しみにしています。Hi Paris!!! I'm glad to know you are learning Japanese :-) I'm looking forward to watch your next video♡♡♡
I learnt french from the age of 4 till I was 16. I could just about describe my lifestyle, family, my school life, my dream job and what my future is going to be like after leaving school
Nobody likes u
Marlene Alcaraz- Rodríguez ok
hiiii, i know this video is from 4 years ago but i’ve been wanting to learn japanese for a few months now and since i’m quarantined i was like WHY NOT haha. the more i was tryna find ways to learn it, the more i was giving up because ppl kept saying that it’s really hard and i don’t mind that, i see it as a challenge but i really didn’t know where to start and what to do and how to learn the writing systems and which ones to start with. you really motivated me and now i want to learn it even more because i actually know that i can do it. thank you so much for this and i wish you the best
this is from 6 months ago so im sure you already found out what to start with but start with hiragana first!
You might not see this since this was months ago but look at the r/LearnJapanese subreddit. Theres a list of resources(free and paid) for learning japanese there and you can also ask questions and they will likely be answered.
@@pnkbaeby6408 For people doing immersion-based methods, go to LearnJapanese (dot) moe, as it has so many resources too.
How’s it going now?
@@jordanrichardson2367 i tried for a bit and then forgot about it lmfao 😭😭
Beginner tip:Never,learn two languages at once especially two asian languages ,since you are at very high chances of mixing systems up.
Me learning Korean and Japanese:
👁👄👁
KAUTHAR brooks it’s okay!
KAUTHAR brooks me
Actually it is possible but if you already learned at least the basics of one language, otherwise it can become too overwhelming
Sijang me, learning three languages: 👁👄👁
french, spanish and now japanese!
You are precious! I've began my journey with learning both hiragana and katakana and I can draw and recognize them all at this point. You've helped me with figuring out what my next step is. ありがとう! I think that's right lol... If not, thank you!
I'm feeling so inspired to continue learning! I already learned hiragana so on to katakana!
Idk if you will reply 🤣 but hey it's been a year how is ur japanese?? I'm still a beginner but I want to know how far you can go after a year! even if it's not a lot I'm sure you've improved so much!!
@@catkitten0 okay not to crush ur hopes but my depression got really bad so I stopped studying but I can still confidently say after a year hiragana is still familiar to me with the occasional studying I did! Seeing ur reply makes me think I shouldn't of stopped 🙈
I love you! and SAO!! omyglob great video Paris!💖
+Christina Lorre' Love you too! hehe, thank you so much! :)
Sao is shit
mr. nobody SAO IS GOD
Nezinu so is your opinion
ありがと！
Thanks for sharing that with us!
My mom is Japanese and she is going to travel next year to Japan with me, sooo I want to learn Japanese before next year because I want to be able to communicate with other kids my age. Ill update next year :)
Update?
"watch a lot of anime"
me who started watching at age 7: OH SWEETIE! I'm WAAAAAAAY ahead of that!
Well you have to usually watch anime without subtitles. Studies show that if you're watching media in the language you want to learn with subtitles of your native language, you barely learn anything.
I started watching anime as a baby like one of my first anime’s were sailor moon and stuff but when I started watching it more seriously I was 4-5 or stuff idk but it’s never late to stuff
Just a heads up the way they speak in anime is pretty different than real life
@@skyt8327 Extreme oversimplification.
@@iferawhite7661 Have a basic foundation in Japanese first, then watch anime with JP subs. Don’t watch without subs if you’re a total beginner, you’ll not understand and learn anything at all.
Thank you so much 😊 I liked and subscribe thank you so much it’s fun and active
You are freaking GORGEOUS! #ipsyos
Thank you! 😊 #ipsyos
Sharon Dubois So true!
In total agreement
hi
Legit the best video I've found on learning Japanese.
I'll be starting study this year and I work on my phone so this is insanely helpful!
Thank you so much!
Soo sweet. That honestly means so much
Hi!
My mom is Japanese and I live it Japan, and I know how hard it is to learn Japanese.
日本語を知らない外国人が時間をかけて習ってくれるなんてとても嬉しいです！
ありがとうございます Thank you! 😄
I love How you make a mini blog in the descripition. It just made me so engaged that i forgot that it was a description of a video, LOVE IT!!!
Hi! can you tell me..... That like I am willing to go to japan as an exchange program student by a private company Is it worth it? And what restrictions are possible we face there?
Thanks in Advance!! :D
Learning Japanese like a "Sensei"
Like a teacher?
djcrazyol don't they also use that for doctors?
Holy shit, that confused me for the longest time, seriously, thank you for explaining that!
oK
Omg I like how Kyary and liSA started playing I LOVE THEM BOTH!
I wish I would learn Japanese faster. I only know the basics!
Btw, that hair color looks amazing on you! Thank you for the tips
YOU WERE PLAYING MAPLESTORY MUSIC AT 9:29
bless
Thank you so much for the fantastic info. I just downloaded the Mirai Japanese app. I speak and practice Spanish, Chinese, and Arabic and wanted to add Japanese but had not taken it up yet. Today I'm sick with the flu and was surfing RUclips and I thought after seeing your video today is the day lol
just subscribed because I love that song @ the start
LeSweetpea I've now watched several of your videos and they are so good! tysm
I realised this sounds like I subscribed JUST for that but I meant I started the video, heard it, subscribed, THEN watched the rest of the video and thoroughly enjoyed it ^3^
Tutu Sketches you're the best
isnt it from sword art online?
Same when I learned Korean the apps felt so fun and I felt like they were like games
As I begin my Japanese learning journey, I must say this was very helpful!
かわいい。特に笑顔が素敵だなぁ♡
i’m getting at Japanese i just wanna learn it so i can watch anime without subtitles plus Japanese is really cool
😘👏
Great content as a Beginner to Japanese these tips helped me a lot! ありがとうございます
Yay! がんばれ！You can do it ☺️ Thank you!
Domo arigatou for sharing it!
I guess I'm years late to this video! But I wanted to say thank you for suggesting the apps that you did! I've been studying Japanese as a hobby with a tutor which is challenging but it's fun! For about a week and a half I've studied it but Mirai Japanese is the first source that's actually made sense when stringing a sentence together. I'm taking it slowly but again thank you miss!
what workbooks/textbooks do u use? ❤️
I watched this vid awhile ago and fell in love with mirai japanese! I later got a new phone but didn't save the app and earlier I was complaining to my sister about it and I finally came back to this video and found it!!!
mindsnacks isnt available with the most recent ios update :( im so sad i was really looking forward to use it
Same
I only started learning Hiragana and found you channel it was nice! Arigatou! You just gained a subscriber!😉😉😉
YAY!
Klyde Urbiztondo what's the difference between hiragana and the other one ?!
Stan talent Stan Hoshi,sana, taehyung and got7 I believe it's that one is written using English characters/the alphabet and one using Japanese characters
NekoGames thanks ☺️☺️☺️
I enjoyed your video. My son is studying Japanese. He spent the summer in Japan. I liked that you took something you love, then turned into you major. With your attitude, you will do well in life.
Most of the people are like I want to learn Japanese so that I can watch anime without subtitles.
But I don't have any reason I just wanna learn Japanese.
That was the theme song from sword art
Cat Love AYYYYY ARMY
No shit
yes and armyyy
thanks for sharing and I like the way u say「かわいいねぇ〜」😂
You seem super adorable and an look like an amazing person!
When you said immerse yourself I was like: I do that already!
I try to buy as many things in Japanese so I can kind of get used to it and try to understand it!
Thank you sooooo much!

Mackenzie4 DIYS YES!
Mackenzie4 DIYS t'es , crossing field!
Thanks for the tip about Mirai. It's on Android too, not just iphone.
I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…
Thank you so much! This really helped a lot! ありがとうございます！
Thanks so much for all the tips! I'm learning Japanese and I am pretty much done with learning the kana (the dakuten and the compound characters are still not 100% in my head but i'm getting there ahah). I have downloaded some of the apps you've suggested (some aren't available on samsung devices). I was feeling like I didn't know how to approach the actual learning of the languages but maybe I've found my answer now :)
After watching this, you’ve motivated me so much, I feel like you’re such a genuine person and a sweetheart. Thank you for encouraging me to continue 頑張って💜
I’m taking Japanese for my Junior year, I’m so glad I found this video
You are such an inspiration to me!
Thank you!!! That means a lot ❤️
I love your hair as well! I'm a curly girl too!
hey
You are sooo beautiful !! You give good advice. I’m French and I’m learning Japanese, beginning with the Hiragana, but I find it quite hard to remember words/sentences in Japanese since it has nothing to do with the French langage and I start from nothing... We’ll see !
初めまして！日本語を勉強してくださってありがとうございます😊日本人の私としては、外国の方が日本語を勉強してくれるのは凄く嬉しいです!!私は、逆に英語を勉強しています。お互いにこれからも勉強頑張りましょう👍

since it is quarantine i decided to learn japanese,but japanese is hard to learn especially sice i am a kid, that why i have a diary to right down words in it and other things,Thanks so much for the info!
i think children can learn languages too, maybe just as good if not maybe better idk.... you learned english (or your native language) when you were 2
T~T the first girl that's ever made my heart drop. you are so beautiful. I wish I could take learning Japanese seriously, I've been wanting to learn Japanese for the last 3 years lol
First Time on your channel... and this was awesome.
Thank you so so much!This video helped a lot!Also i tried a few of the apps listed in the description and actually they helped sooo much!For now im a beginner and i know just the hiragana and a little bit of katakana but with these apps im sure i could progress into so much more!💖💗
😘🌸
YESS!! CANDY CANDY!! best song ever :D
海外の人の日本語講座ってあるのかなーって思って調べてみたらめちゃくちゃ日本語上手くてすげ〜ってなりました
Wow you are absolutely gorgeous. I like that MO jacket too. That's besides the point. I've been studying Japanese for about a year now. I've used genki, Japanese from zero and a bunch of apps like tae kim guide to Japanese, Memrise, mind snacks just to name a few. That and an unhealthy amount of anime lol
Thank you
