**EDIT: I was recently able to go to Japan for the first time and challenged myself to speak Japanese only while I was there, check out how it went! ruclips.net/video/klpva9zI72I/видео.html So it's been 1 year... Here's the 1 year progress video! ruclips.net/video/Jp92ZHyR_rw/видео.html
I am starting the Japanese learning - self learning. Native Vietnamese but studying Japanese in English. Wish me luck, hopefully I wont give up lol. Your video is super helpful - thanks a ton.
@@Julietroses82 I'm in the same position as them. Currently I've mastered ig you could say hiragana but I'm trying to forget about it so I can test myself again--during this I will be learning katakana. Just haven't really been up to learning it haha. You should deff start, like he said in the video and what everyone will say is to start off with kana and then I'd say learn 5-10 kanji a day (That's what I'm gonna do) but yk, go with the flow!!! Learning this language should be fun, once you feel like it's a job just stop for a few days and then continue on because learning a language should be fun not stressful! But I'm kinda scared because everyone says that japanese is one of the hardest languages to learn but I think they are just overreacting
I think this is the path most people who want to learn Japanese will take. (I’m Brazilian.) Even though we have good materials in Portuguese, most of the information is still in English.
I used a very, very similar method to learn the kana, but nothing solidified the connection more than writing and reading with them. Definitely a well made video in the sea of Japanese learning resources, and good to see that you stuck with it.
For sure, once you've been exposed to all the Kana that exist, there's nothing that makes it stick more than just simply using it for real. Thanks for watching and commenting!
My old Japanese teacher taught me how to memorise the chart, it's a little chant that goes like akasa tana, hamaya rawa, n. Then you'll be able to fill in the rest of the kanas.
I have been trying to learn the hiragana for weeks!I knew some characters since I was young,but I couldn't memorize the rest, I followed what you said, it made a huge difference! I literally learned them in a few hours! I will start to do the same in katakana, but this time I know nothing about katakana...
when i learnt だ(da)or any of the "d" when i knew all the t's i just thought of ta da because it sound similar and it sound like a magic trick being made hope i helped someone
HOLLLY SMOKES Dude that's genius. Really wish I thought of that when I was first learning it. If I ever remake this video I'm including this comment in it.
Very glad to hear that it worked for you! I recommend watching this video to find out what to do next btw: ruclips.net/video/DcY2Svs3h8M/видео.htmlsi=3y0ug5BQ1b6YZGb0 . Thank you very much for watching and commenting too! 😁
This makes so much more sense than what I was doing. Writing all the characters without the romaji and making an educated guess as to which they were lol
Cheif that phasmophobia promotion is probably going to leave me sleepless for a few nights that scream- it was perfect! perfect to give me a heart attack out of many other things but this vid is really helpful since I krep forgetting a lot of the hiragana and katakana
I don't really advocate mnemonics unless it's a last ditch effort. What would you do if you forget the mnemonic? Have a mnemonic for your mnemonic? . The method that I show in this video simplifies the process so you don't need to create mnemonics.
@@JouzuJulsA mnemonic can be literally anything though. Like you saying that ん looks like n is a mnemonic. If you learn one because it’s the one that you always get wrong and you had to drill it into your head, that experience is a mnemonic. Not all mnemonics work for everybody, but we all use them all the time without realizing it.
@@winters-rp yes I do that. I actually learning kanji now and at the same time learning it's meaning. Learning kanji makes me learn Japanese words. It's two birds in one stone bahaha
Love the editing, and if you can make more instructional videos like this, I'm sure slowly but surely I'll actually learn Japanese lol Edit: Spoiler: I knew more hiragana than I thought, lol but what does touroku mean?
@@JouzuJuls Okay with the help of Google Translate, I know what it means lol, and will do! Hope this channel grows and helps the main one grow too! Edit: Also, have you considered promoting on social media? I recall a subreddit (r/LearnJapanese) that is "THE" place to learn Japanese on Reddit, and if you can post videos there that might help gain traction.
i pretty much only know 3 characters right now, which are the 3 in my Name, and a few other unique ones. ill be back eventually to update (because its midnight and I want to sleep)
I thought the dakutens would be hard but for some reason the alternative pronunciations just "make sense" like "ka" becoming "ga" just seems logical to my brain.
@@benrichardson5662 there's actually a logic to it, Dakuten marks are just "voiced" marks- meaning Kana that *can* take Dakuten but don't are "unvoiced" So か、た、さ are unvoiced for example but が、だ、ざ ARE voiced Unvoiced means that your vocal chords don't move when you pronounce the consonant, but voiced means it does. Happens in English too, in American accents, "dystopia" is pronounced as "dysDopia". In most accents "speech" is pronounced as "sBeech".
I used ‘MARU: Learn Japanese Hiragana’ to practice hiragana (you can also learn katakana in the same app) it does test both ways (sound to kana and kana to sound) and uses words but i have actually found the words quite helpful! The icon of the app is a little red circle, like the Japanese flag :)
@@JohnDoe-bp9jmif the “ya” “yu” or “yo” is small and it’s after a character with the “i” vowel, you drop the “i”sound in the character and replace it with the “y” consonant, for example, 東京(とうきょう) it means Tokyo, the biggest city in Japan (and in the world as well apparently), but where did the “kyo” come from? You wouldn’t say Tokiyo would you? They used a “yo” in it (ょ), but it’s small, here's for reference, “きょ” (kyo) ”きよ” (kiyo), but if it’s a “shi”, “ji” or “chi”, you drop both the “i” and the “y”, for example, in the word 茶(ちゃ), meaning tea, it’s spelled with a small “や”, but it doesn’t make the “chya” sound, it makes the “cha” sound, this is what we call “yo'on” Why am I telling you this? Well channel in Japanese is romanised as “Channeru” not “Chiyanneru” because it includes yo'on, also, “Channeru touroku onegaishimasu” means “Please subscribe to the RUclips Channel” “touroku” means registration, or subscription, onegaishimasu is a way of saying please, and channeru, of course means Channel
what is this guy saying bro, i wrote the thing once and the second time i tried to guess it i remembered like 2 letters TOTAL, "oh yeah just have insane memory man ull make it"... man im too autistic to remember stuff
2 weeks for hiragana and katakana shows your determination to learn the language, but you could be doing everything more efficiently if you learned more about how to learn languages efficiently!
An hour a day for 2 days is still 2 hours. . Furthermore, just because you can remember something after 2 hours, doesn't mean anything if you can't still remember it the next day, or the day after, or the day after that. . You can't find out whether you still remember it the next day unless you test yourself the next day.
@@JouzuJuls well glad you’re okay!:) also great video btw. I’m trying your method of learning the hiragana and katakana rn and it’s very effective to me🫶 so THANK YOU ! Keep being awesome and I hope you have a fantastic week :33 take care!
Excellent video! I found a useful mnemonic for remembering the usage of dakuten (◌゙) and handakuten (◌゚). Consider handakuten like a bubble on the verge of popping - mirroring the 'P' sounds. This visualization has assisted me greatly in my learning journey.
True true. I know them for life Before the Two hours. I just hate katakana so I just dump the knowledge 😅. I came here from ruclips.net/video/rf-n_qI2occ/видео.htmlsi=jqL4m5Hjv4SkWuE7 for a Katakana refreshment 🥲 😂 ❤ I'll keep going with my self acquiring journey. I'm broke 😂🥲 So thank you for all this material for free ❤
I've never done it before but would stay away from Duolingo in general if you're serious about language learning. . If you don't know what to do next after learning the Kana, I would recommend learning the top 2000 most commonly used words so you can immediately jump into immersing in Japanese content! . And easy way to learn the top 2000 most commonly used words is by setting up a free software called Anki by watching this tutorial: ruclips.net/video/DcY2Svs3h8M/видео.html
A good way to learn hiragana pronunciations is this song it gets stuck in your head cuz its so good ruclips.net/user/shortsJA7DYU5OXfM?si=I8cXjhiaJD397xXY

How's it going?
Are you still learning my friend ?
i just started learning the alphabets, yes after 3 years since the video came out, yet this video is very usefull, thank you^^ worth a follow
Congratulations on starting your journey! Very glad to hear that the guide is still working for you! :D
Starting learning yesterday I am proud that i can a few hiragana characters as of now. i havn't started katakana yet
I'm following everything you do in this video and other vids, from the apps and paper, thanks for making Japanese learning easy ❤
Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you'll also find the tips in my videos useful for quickly levelling up your Japanese ability!
FOR IOS. Sorry forgot if it was paid but I used "Kana - Hiragana and Katakana"
thanks
Best app! Makes learning so simple and fast

Best tutorial i have seen so far
Huh this is actually the method I thought of on my own. It's worked well so far.
Thank you so much for the guide, I'm going to try it out this weekend and I'll try to remember to edit the comment on how it goes!!! :D
Updates?
Unfortunately school caught up to me and ooooh boy, school is school@@thegtheges2793
This is actually helpfull. Thank you very much.
I see what you did there with the last sentence 😊👏🏽
i cant remember how to write them or what they even look like but when i see them i know the sounds basically perfectly
10:19 channeru touroku onegaishimasu
For the quotation marks, I just remembered HB homeboy for h turning to b. and(for fu) FB football for f turning into b.
for IOS you should use Benkyō(half red half black icon) and sensei (green icon with yellow “japanese” text)
Bro, its effective for me. Im surprised, your supposed to have lots of subscribers.

@@wrmsnicket Good point!
I'm trying to learn Japanese for the past month since its summer break. I already know katakana and hirigana but can't understand what I'm reading lol
Then move on to learning words, you don't understand English just by learning the alphabet. 😅
@@winters-rp yes I do that. I actually learning kanji now and at the same time learning it's meaning. Learning kanji makes me learn Japanese words. It's two birds in one stone bahaha
Hey Jouzuさん、If you can clear my game's Hiragana and Katakana on screen in-game, let me know.
Bruh edited the eyes in the thumbnail lmao
Can never unsee
shhhhh
Love the editing, and if you can make more instructional videos like this, I'm sure slowly but surely I'll actually learn Japanese lol

That's how I learned them.
Great video, but why did you put the "n" twice in the chart?
The first "n" is for the な row as in なにぬねの, the last "n" is just ん ^^
Should I learn katakana first or should I learn hiragana first? Or do both?
Hiragana first
