    good evening my axolots
    Well well well we meet again, welcome to your daily dose of cheap #entertainment I ventured out into the wild for the past 2 weeks, finding enlightenment on the snowy mountains, achieving great knowledge, only to return, for I refuse to leave the youtube space alone. My reign has yet to end, it's barely scratched the SURFACE
    I tried to learn Japanese in 6 days, and now I can successfully read the language with a 5 second delay on each phrase and only a 5% chance of understanding what it meant, but my studying shall go on for I am now the jack of all languages, master of none B)
    also duolingo was not helpful at all here's some good websites and apps instead if I get kahooted in my sleep you know who to blame
    dictionary: shirabe jisho
    renshuu (for writing)
    tofugu (for learning kanji and hiragana)
    kana-quiz.tofu... (for kanji and hiragana quiz)

But yeah, I totally agree that drawing every single day would cause you immense burn out and make you loose motivation and that you shouldn’t force yourself. Since October, I took a small break but I’m slowly going back to drawing. The challenge was hard but I feel like it did help me a bit (also I slept every day, just some nights shorter then others)

      Much agreed!! Out of all the languages I speak and read, I can only remember a third to the native level, simply because I speak and hear them on a daily. English and Japanese on social media, French with people around me and my family, some Latin since I listen to audiobooks but my Italian, Russian, Spanish.. well, they’re good but it just lags. It’s so annoying, reaching a native level and then just resetting after some time, especially since I’ve had such love for those languages.

    I feel like it's important for people to understand that honestly...we are never done learning a language, even our native language. Same goes for a second or third or any language after that. There's always something new to learn. And you are never too old to learn. I started learning Japanese as a teenager, majored in college and lived there. Now I keep up by reading and translating. I never stop learning.

I remember seeing the katakana for the band マクシマムザホルモン and I don't think I can really properly express how I felt in that moment. In my defense it actually doesn't make sense. Other words are more frustrating than difficult. ホワイト ... I mean, did they throw in that ホ just to confuse gaijin?

      A pretty direct translation of запой would be 'bender', which although doesn't imply 2 days specifically, does imply a long term period of drunkenness/ generally being messed up due to partying or something. Also earworm is in the English language and has the exact same usage as Ohrwurm

      Here's the trick with English vocabulary: if English doesn't have a weird for something, it will just steal a word from another language. An example is the "schadenfreude," mentioned in an earlier reply, which looks German (because it is), but it's also an English word because English stole it from German. Anime is a fun example since Japanese stole it from English first, and then English stole it back but left it district from the original word "animation" (which itself is stolen from Latin).

    7:51 The small っ before a morae (in this case hiragana/katakana character) will create a double consonant like in かった (katta) instead of かた (kata). However the iteration mark 々 means that you are going to repeat the kanji with the supplement of rendaku ("sequential voicing" by "voicing" the first consonant in a word). This has examples like 時々 (literally: 時時 |ときどき | tokidoki) and 人々 (literally: 人人 | ひとびと | hitobito).¨

      @@neopalm2050 I can't say I'm an expert on this, but it's often called gemination from latin "doubling." Although you are right for some cases, that is just the property that the っ have. In examples like よかった there is a slight pause after the second mora, altgough in a word like おっさん there is just the extention of the sound "s". Germinated consonants that are marked with a っ, can be described like either creating an absence of sound, or an extention of sound.

      I dont even know if it will be efective, though it makes sense that it will in due time. Also, I still do duolingo daily, more as a reminder of the fact that I have to learn japanese rather than anything priductive, since I do the bare minimum and leave, but better than nothing I guess.
      Watching japanese media really helps too, since some words stick to you, and others will sound familiar and easier to remember.

    12:19 honestly, for me… since English and Spanish were both my first languages, it gave me an advantage to learning different but similar languages such as French, Italian, and Portuguese. But after learning those languages, I got very greedy. I wanted to keep learning as many languages as possible until I could beat the world record of polyglot speaking the most languages… *FLUENTLY.*
    So I started challenging myself. I tried to teach myself Chinese, Japanese, and Korean at the same time for a over a year, why at the same time *because I’m crazy and think I can learn like that* _ok no, actually-_ I thought it would be easier to tell which of those 3 languages is the easiest to learn if I tried learning them all at once and seeing which one I learned the most.
    It worked. I learned a lot of Chinese, even more Japanese, and the most I learned was Korean.
    Of course I could’ve learned more if I… _well, _*_procrastinated less._*
    I think I will just focus on one language now (my choice for easiness: Korean/ my choice for utterly challenging myself: Chinese)
    Yes I chose Korean because I will start school in a while and I’m not trying to pull all-nighters again this year…

    I've been studying Japanese since high school (10+ years but more like 4 and a half because of a huge gap where I wasn't studying), and it gets easier once you get through beginner level (around Genki 1), then gets harder when you reach intermediate level (around Genki 2 and beyond). I spent a year in Japan as an English ALT and just came back to the US this past spring, and even though I was in the country literally as immersed as you can get, I got burnt out after maybe the 6th month and slowed down by a lot, so I can totally understand that frustration. I spent time with Japanese b-boys (breakdancers), and it was frustrating that I could understand a lot, but the output was often choppy and not as deep as I wanted to get. I still made a lot of friends, and I still study even after coming back home. Studying your favorite Japanese songs is a really good way to learn! Keep at it!

  • @DarrylCross
    @DarrylCross Год назад +834

    The lovely thing about Kanji is when a certain character has a dozen different readings, and it's not clear on which pronunciation is used in which context. It leads to those weird situations where I can look at a sentence and think "I kind of know what this is supposed to mean, but if someone put a gun to my head and told me to read it out loud I'd be a dead man."
    Of course the hardest part for me in learning Japanese as a native English speaker is when I see words written in Katakana. I will know some of them by sight. テーブル? ベッド? コーヒー? Easy Peasy! But then I get something like スマホ ("Sumaho") and stare at it for half an hour saying it over and over again until I eventually say "Screw it," and move on. Then a little bit later I see from the context that it means "Smart Phone" and spend the next hour feeling like a complete idiot.

      @yaboyechillpill3999 Год назад +33

      I'm not 100% sure if my answer will help but I know I was hella confused about the readings too. I'll try to write the basics down so they make sense, sorry if they don't
      Two things that matter in pronunciation are on'yomi and kun'yomi. Kun'yomi is used for kanji that aren't combined/for their meaning when they're by themselves. Okay, I know that makes no sense because I'm bad at explaining but here. 山 means 'mountain' and is read as やま when you're talking about a mountain. That's the kun'yomi reading. I hope I'm not screwing something up here.
      But the on'yomi reading is さん. On'yomi readings are used when you're combining kanji to make words that have other meanings. Like, 'seaweed' for example. It's made of the words 'sea' and 'weed'. That's basically on'yomi. So, back to the 'mountain' kanji example. さん is used when you combine 山 with other kanji. so 火山 means 'volcano' and is made of the words 火 (means 'fire', I think ひ being the kun'y reading and か being the on'y reading. You use on'y here because you're combining it with 山) and 山 (which is read as 'さん', or 'ざん' in this case because sometimes the s-row changes to 'z' because it's easier to read out loud?) and it's read as かざん and that's on'yomi... I hope this made any sense.
      There are some other rules I'm not too sure about yet but it is crucially important to get when to use on'yomi and kun'yomi readings.
      Er, if you haven't yet, watch Cure Dolly's organic Japanese series (at least the first ten). She explains grammar really well that Japanese textbooks just don't seem to explain properly. I promise it's worth it and she's a far better teacher than some idiot trying and failing to explain readings to you in a comment.

    • @yaboyechillpill3999
      @yaboyechillpill3999 Год назад +6
