Wow that is really great progress. I have been self studying for 2.5 years or so and i was able to understand most of what you said but i have not had hardly any practice actually speaking. I think that is probably one of the greatest benefits of being in an environment where you are forced to like you did in your class. 頑張って！
HI Bijuu mike!! I also agree Aki's experince being right up front with it definitely gives her an advantage in learning she is also doing it in such a smart manner just by even talking with joey in japanese, but I am sure also for you the more you study too the better you will get to, I believe aki really has found a solid way to learn for her self. Finding your personal studying way on your own is really important.
From my experience with Learning English I fully believe is being thrown into an environment that forces you speak peak the language as well as consuming media and literature to help with context clues.
Ok but why did I get emotional when she just started the whole video in Japanese, I was so proud we got to see how much progress shes accomplished and made me feel like if I just keep going, I'll get there too :) so proud for you Aki-chan!
@@nujevad28 I'm Japanese. And no you don't need a partner. I learned English in 7 months and I'm still learning, because this language is contradicting itself at every corner. If I can do this, you can learn Japanese. It's not as hard as people make it out to be. Just lazy. Lol
I would love to learn a third language and that being Japanese. I truly think the language is beautiful but it's so hard! I do hope to talk like Aki someday.
same here, french/german native, learned english in middle school, now in university and I would love to learn japanese but it's so hard to even know where to begin ... I don't even want to be fluent, just good enough to understand stuff without subtitles
@@justalameusername1736 that sounds kinda insane, are they practicing 40 hours a day ? all jokes aside, how much time is expected every day/week to achieve N1 so quickly?
lol! I love it when people and anime characters say, 'Ja ne!', or 'Mata ne'! I know what it means in English, 'ja' means 'well' or 'then', and 'mata' means 'again', and 'ne' means 'right' or 'isn't it?'! So, they basically mean, 'See you later!' :D
Omg we are all so proud of you I can’t wait to learn the language. I really only understood a bit of the video without subtitles but I hope to get better! Have fun be patient, with yourself and others, and you’ll reach the next level!
Awesome video! Thanks for doing that, I know it’s hard and nerve racking to do! My wife and I are moving to Japan in October, assuming it stays open, and she is going to go to language school, so loves your videos so hopefully this will give her some confidence! Thank you!!!!!
As someone who is also learning how to speak Japanese for the past year, I’m proud to see how dedicated you are in learning such a new language. I’m glad I was able to understand what you were saying throughout the video after learning it for a year. Keep up the good work!
My God Aki, you did great. I've recently finished studying N4 and it has been an amazing experience, but I still don't have ways to practice my spoken japanese, and it honestly scares me a bit... Keep it up, I'm sure you'll achieve your dream!!!
Mhhh, I haven't studied it in a long while but I understood 80% of what you said without relying on the subtitles.. Sadly though I can't speak it, I can't come up with a sentence on the spot for the life of me lol.. seeing your progress has motivate me to relearn and practice it again. If I'm even a fraction at the level you are now would be incredible for me.
Your Japanese is REALLY good! I was blown away. You will get to N2 soon, especially that you live in Japan and Joey is there to help you too. I'm personally about N2 level? I have never took the exams tho or even been in Japan but you can clearly communicate with the locals, and watching anime or TV without subs helps a lot too (I watch a lot of Precure without subs). Greetings and love from Finland 🇫🇮
I love how much process you have gotten in such a short time ! I appreciate the hardwork you've got and even speaking japanese for us. Even if your still taking time to think about what you're going to say its still very impressive ^^ Thank so much you for making this video !
I'm loving your Japanese, Aki!! As someone who grew up speaking both Japanese and English, along with getting a degree in Japanese language, I can say that your pronunciation is really, really natural. It's not easy getting to your level!! One thing as constructive criticism, I'd work on the intonation as it will take you to the next level of native speaking. I have total confidence that you can get there!! I see the amount of work you've into learning Japanese.
Thank you so much, Aki. Thanks to you I too started to be more serious about my japanese. I too want to talk to my Japanese friends more and study or work there so I'm also working hard and your videos are really encouraging me.
i am soooo blown away by your japanese Aki your studying has paid off really good in such a short time i can tell your studying hard, i have also taken intrest in japanese recently i have been staring to study with duolingo but i am thinking of purchusing the books you reccomended you really inspire me
Really loved hearing you speaking in Japanese! Hopefully we see more in the future! Amazing and great how much work/effort you put into learning! Also, perfect timing! I have my Japanese exams at university coming up this Friday. A lot of the words and grammar you used will be on the exams. So great practice to say the least 🤩
Wow great video! I have being trying to learn Japanese too, and your resources video was very useful. Language learning is hard, but your dedication and hard work are paying off. Thanks for the motivation to keep at it!
tyyyy . it was sooo goood. earlier i used to feel i have to learn how to always speak in the informal tone but now watching you flaunt your jp in formal way gave me a bit of confidence that I wont sound weird if I speak in the formal way haha
That was so good Aki! You have come so far and one day you will look back on this video and how how much further you have gone with your Japanese learning! Really inspiring!
Aki this is so cool to see! I've been learning Japanese for 4 or 5 years (4 in school and on and off in the year since then) and wow, it feels like you're blasting through super fast! I hope one day we both can reach N2! :D
After starting to study Japanese at uni from scratch in 2018, I think my biggest achievement thus far was being able to comprehend your video without the need for subtitles. Like you I get super nervous about speaking in Japanese purely because I panic about making mistakes, but it's as teachers say: "you need to make the mistakes in order to learn", and honestly you just inspired me to continue trying to face my fears of continuing to try and practice speaking. You've got this, Aki!
Oooooo I loved this. I don't speak Japanese but reeeally want to learn and tried to a few times. But this was excellent to see, love the idea of being able to check up on your progress too. The fact you an Joey have the option to communicate in another language is awesome and he obviously supports you. Just another lovely and amazing video from you Aki, thankyou so much for what you do😁❤❤
i really appreciate you actually taking the time to learn japanese and open up a whole new world for yourself. not only does it give you more opportunities in life but it opens up new friendships and makes living in japan a hell of alot easier. also everyone has already said it but yes i think your japanese is very good. your more then good to conversate and probably do basic everyday things. I know alot of people who live they're whole life in another country and never learn anwhere near what you demonstrated in this video. well done and keep up the studies
Aki you’re doing good!!! You sound very fluent already! And I love how you’re not embarrassed to talk in Japanese cuz a lot of people (including me), when they start learning they don’t want to talk because they’re afraid that they’ll make a mistake and it’s okay!! That’s the point of learning! I hope you have fun learning more because it’s so awesome that we can communicate in different languages now, too! I think that’s super cool.
I enjoyed all the extra little random japanese quirks that were thrown in all over the video but most noticeably near the end. More of this plz, might actually watch
I don't leave comments on many videos but i feel like i should on this one, I've been wanting to learn japanese along with spanish for years and i felt like it was out of reach. This video has given me more drive to do it. You've tried and almost completed your task and its an inspiration for me to do the same. Keep progressing and i hope I can catch up to you.
youve come so far! youre japanese is really good! the only tip i can really offer at the moment is you say 私 A LOT which happens to a lot of people who study from books. Most times 私 is just implied which I assume you know at this point. Other than that you did an amazing job! Im really happy to see how far you've come and how far you'll go in the future!
@akidearest Aki, I have been watching this channel for a long time now, and though I don’t know you personally, I am really proud of you! I got to see your Japanese learning journey and see how you developed over time! I love you aki!!
ohhh. this was a banger... as a fellow Japanese self studier just the number of time you repeated "desu" and "watashi wa " was astonishing 😻😻😻 thanks you made my day
Good job, Aki!!! I am studying Japanese too! I have watched your videos about attending school and the textbooks, it helped me a lot when I went to go learn. This video gave me more inspiration to keep going! ♥♥♥♥
Wow this is amazing!! This is certainly an accomplishment and u deserve to treat urself 😊 I always wanted to not only speak Japanese but to be able to read Kanji, but this is great to see!
Two semesters? You really think two semesters of inefficient language classes with teachers that don't give a shit about your input or pronounciation, will actually give you any good progress?
Aaaahhh aki you're so cool!! I'm learning japanese too c: I'm so happy I could understand what you said in the video for the most part. My japanese is still broken as well ;;; good luck learning further for the both of us!
omg i found you after 2 years of not watching you, i remember you could barely speak it and now look at you!! your japanese has gotten so much better!!
Congrats! You sound great so far! I'm also around ending N4 atm and it was a lot fun not seeing the subs and understanding most of what you said, まだ日本語で頑張りましょう！ゆっくり得意になりま, 絶対にします。
aki-chan の日本語ガうまい！！ ほんとに！you inspired me a lot! I've been living in Japan already 2 years and my japanase haven't improve that much. I passed for so many up and down moments because of the language and as well even my boyfriend speak japanese we always speak english!!! But just few months ago i decided i have to try by myself to learn more japanese! and don't be afraid to speak. how do you keep motivate??? love!!
Good job chica Aki, to me to try to learn and speak English took me I think 6 years so congrats, keep trying and don't be shy even native speakers make mistakes from time to time, so you can don't worry much about you level of Japanese.
So impressed with how quickly you've improved since living in Japan! you should be super proud, you've given me inspiration to improve mine too and really practice stringing more sentences together and improving my vocab. you're doing so great!
Hi.:) I've been enjoying your channel for years. But I 've never thought you speak Japanese like this. You are amazing. Since I'm Japanese. Sometimes I want to enjoy your Japanese blog as well. Thank you so much.
Aki, I have been studying Japanese language for 7yrs, I have to say your Japanese is very good for having studied for a short time. I understood everything you said. Japanese is complex and one of the top 10 most difficult languages to learn, so you're doing exceptionally well. I'll be rooting for you to reach your goal of N2, but something tells me you'll blitz it if you keep up the good work! OH and the "ni", "de", "ga" etc particles trip every new learner up - I have Japanese (native speaker) friends who say they still get it wrong at times LOL!
This is making me want to pick up my German again. I took it all of high school, then a few quarters in University, but that was so long ago now and I haven't kept up with my German so I can't really speak it all that well. Maybe that is something I'll pick up again. Thank you for the inspiration Aki!
A bit late to this vid, however, I was surprised at how easy you were to understand overall. Other than a few words I did not know I understood it all. I also understood a lot of what Ken Watanabe said in the Abroad in Japan video. I feel like my Japanese is getting much better too. The problem is getting a chance to converse with other people. Reading and writing are both useful in their own ways but speaking is an entirely different skill set altogether.
It was your last video learning Japanese video that inspired me to finally get into learning the language, I've been practising every day since. I am so pleased that I could understand parts of the video without reading the subtitles! Keep it up Aki! 🇯🇵
This Video is soooo inspiring. I am studying Japanese at University and all what Aki said it's true. It's often embarrassing to to talk in Japanese because you are thinking that you are not good but you need to practice! I hope I can find some Japanese friends to practice with in the future and thank you for that Video !!! I hope you upload maybe some in the future too. 頑張って アキ💪🏻
It's so cool to watch your journey with a whole another language that has a totally different structure to English! You're doing really well and I'm happy to see you enjoying speaking in Japanese. I wish you all the best in your learning journey! You got this Aki! And hope for more videos with you speaking Japanese in the future c;
Akiちゃん、日本語の発音が上手！文法もカンペキです😉 I’ve been studying English long time so I totally understand your feeling that sometimes it’s embarrassing to speak with native speakers. But you encouraged me in this video, thanks 🥰🥰
I've recently gotten back to reviewing my Japanese again, and your video made my day! It's nice to hear you speaking Japanese, even when you're still learning. I'm probably at a N4 level as well, so your video was nice to listen and follow along to. Let's both do our best! (and yes, Japanese is very hard 😅)
I've been wanting to learn Japanese for years. I've tried several times to start learning but I'm too busy most of the time to do the process correctly. Your japanese is amazing for being a beginner by the way. I have heard that Japanese people enjoy helping non native people who are actively making attempts at learning their language and culture. I really wish I could afford to go to Japan for a while to learn as much as I can. But the way of the world and the world in the way and all that happy crappy.. But anyway, I hope you continue to improve your lingual skills. Much love.
Amazing to see how good your Japanese got so quickly. I think it's encouraging for me as I plan to move to Japan this year to take Japanese courses at a language school in July.
I’m blown away by how good your Japanese has gotten in such a short time😭😭👏🏻👏🏻

It's so pleasant listening to you speaking in Japanese (as well as English ofc lol)~ 😊

Is very Impressive how you are speaking Japanese aki ! Even if we see you Struggling Speaking, but that's not a problem. Great job :))
Ok but why did I get emotional when she just started the whole video in Japanese, I was so proud we got to see how much progress shes accomplished and made me feel like if I just keep going, I'll get there too :) so proud for you Aki-chan!
Damn a whole 5min speaking in Japanese, great improvement Aki!!
This is so wholesome and satisfying to hear; the amount of care that she put into the pronunciation and everything 🌈 I love this channel
As someone who speaks Japanese on a preschooler's level(Roughly N5) seeing how much you've progressed gives me hope for myself. Ganbatte Aki-Chan!
It helps to have a Japanese boyfriend to practice with.

Damn your Japanese is becoming very good Aki! Good job!
Also, the "ja nee" part at the end reminded me so much of Joeys outro its uncanny lol
Omg same, I was reminded so much of Joey that last moment xD
lol! I love it when people and anime characters say, 'Ja ne!', or 'Mata ne'! I know what it means in English, 'ja' means 'well' or 'then', and 'mata' means 'again', and 'ne' means 'right' or 'isn't it?'! So, they basically mean, 'See you later!' :D
She is Joey's GF so I think it's fitting she uses the same outro.
Omg we are all so proud of you I can’t wait to learn the language. I really only understood a bit of the video without subtitles but I hope to get better! Have fun be patient, with yourself and others, and you’ll reach the next level!
You sound really good! Great work on grinding away with Joey and other Japanese speaking people, it must've taken a long time
That's awesome. Working hard and practice. Your doing great.

Japanese is complex and one of the top 10 most difficult languages to learn, so you're doing exceptionally well. I'll be rooting for you to reach your goal of N2, but something tells me you'll blitz it if you keep up the good work! OH and the "ni", "de", "ga" etc particles trip every new learner up - I have Japanese (native speaker) friends who say they still get it wrong at times LOL!
YOUVE GOTTEN SO GOOD so so proud of u aki 👍🏼
This is making me want to pick up my German again. I took it all of high school, then a few quarters in University, but that was so long ago now and I haven't kept up with my German so I can't really speak it all that well. Maybe that is something I'll pick up again. Thank you for the inspiration Aki!
A bit late to this vid, however, I was surprised at how easy you were to understand overall. Other than a few words I did not know I understood it all. I also understood a lot of what Ken Watanabe said in the Abroad in Japan video. I feel like my Japanese is getting much better too. The problem is getting a chance to converse with other people. Reading and writing are both useful in their own ways but speaking is an entirely different skill set altogether.
you are doing great aki! Keep up the good work!!! You never fail to make me smile and laugh❤️
I am so freaking proud of you!!! I remember finding your channel when I was in middle school, and I am sosososo happy to see how far you have come!!!
It was your last video learning Japanese video that inspired me to finally get into learning the language, I've been practising every day since. I am so pleased that I could understand parts of the video without reading the subtitles! Keep it up Aki! 🇯🇵
Yaay well done Aki!! :D This video was super helpful and motivating for other Japanese learners like me. ありがとうございました。
Watching you be so determined and making such good progress is so inspiring. I had a big smile on my face your doing great!!!
アキさんの日本語は聞きやすいで、本当にみじかい間で上手くなった!
Nice job Aki! You go girl!
Wow, Aki your Japanese is super good!!
this is really cool! you can compare like 5 years from now how youre doing and noticed the accent change!
This Video is soooo inspiring. I am studying Japanese at University and all what Aki said it's true. It's often embarrassing to to talk in Japanese because you are thinking that you are not good but you need to practice! I hope I can find some Japanese friends to practice with in the future and thank you for that Video !!! I hope you upload maybe some in the future too. 頑張って アキ💪🏻
Totally amazing fun video of you learning speaking Japanese akidearest, fantastic job and you pretty good at it too.
It's so cool to watch your journey with a whole another language that has a totally different structure to English! You're doing really well and I'm happy to see you enjoying speaking in Japanese. I wish you all the best in your learning journey! You got this Aki! And hope for more videos with you speaking Japanese in the future c;
Akiちゃん、日本語の発音が上手！文法もカンペキです😉 I’ve been studying English long time so I totally understand your feeling that sometimes it’s embarrassing to speak with native speakers. But you encouraged me in this video, thanks 🥰🥰
So Amazing!!!! You used to be more shy about speaking Japanese and now you've gotten really fluent speaking in longer phrases, so proud!!!!!
I'm very inspired by you. Your progress is awesome!
Ahhh congrats on starting the journey!! We're all so proud!!
I've recently gotten back to reviewing my Japanese again, and your video made my day! It's nice to hear you speaking Japanese, even when you're still learning. I'm probably at a N4 level as well, so your video was nice to listen and follow along to.
Let's both do our best! (and yes, Japanese is very hard 😅)
I've been wanting to learn Japanese for years.
I've tried several times to start learning but I'm too busy most of the time to do the process correctly.
Your japanese is amazing for being a beginner by the way.
I have heard that Japanese people enjoy helping non native people who are actively making attempts at learning their language and culture.
I really wish I could afford to go to Japan for a while to learn as much as I can. But the way of the world and the world in the way and all that happy crappy..
But anyway, I hope you continue to improve your lingual skills. Much love.
This makes me so happy that you are progressing so well and that you really enjoy it. Two thumbs up. 👍 👍!
うまかった！ I loved it. N2 is a good goalpost, makes things more bearable than striving for complete fluency as soon as possible.
Amazing to see how good your Japanese got so quickly. I think it's encouraging for me as I plan to move to Japan this year to take Japanese courses at a language school in July.
WOW!! Your Japanese is really good!!
