You know, I really admire the fact that you made an effort to learn at such a young age, while at the same time finding your passion and chosen path for university. It’s very admirable! I really hope to be able to speak Japanese and understand it as well as you 😊
I'm pretty much a new born baby in Japanese. I have been studying hard for 9 days I learned hiragana and katakana in the first 5 days with a few kanjis here and there. I have an N5 book (yellow). Currently at chapter 3 and it's ben a blast learning and seeing the little progress everyday. I am very slowly getting a grasp on the grammar. Although I can't form proper sentences due to the horrible grammar but atleast I can read sentences (that include the vocab/kanji I learned ofc) and make out their meanings. I'm so glad I started learning Japanese I never knew it could be so much fun. Plus watching anime has helped me alot when it comes to immersion. I'm planning on maybe watching some game shows when I advance more cuz who doesn't like a good laugh and goofs while also immersing and learning
i started seriously a week ago and i didn’t know it was so much fun:) i knew hiragana already, but rlly studying everything with the proper apps and giving some dedication to it feels great. i’m afraid of kanji and grammar tho
@@amaretto534 that's great. That's pretty much what I did my first week them I bought an N5 book and learned some phrases and more vocabulary. Don't worry about grammar with the phrases you learn slowly but surely you will start realizing how the grammar works. After all when you were 3 years old your parents never taught you grammar. Just sentences and vocabulary. Then as time goes on the way you say things 'felt right' and only then you start realizing how the grammar usually works. That's the same case with japanese grammar and particles. You learn sentences from the beginner N5 book ofc then you start realizing when those particles are used. It's a small price to pay. You can fight some online or libraries and they are specifically designed for you to pass JLPT 5. With that being said you could implement some Immersion as long as you try to focus on the japanese. It's ok if you have English subs but as long as you keep your attention to the japanese you will start picking out words and such. Especially if you learned them from your book or anywhere else. I have been at this for only 2 weeks now I know so little. While I was able to understand what some sentences meant by hearing them I never was able to form one. As time went on and I kept learning more I started realising how the grammar worked and very slowly started able to make sentences from what I learned. I have way lots to go and I know this is the beginning but if I can keep this up for years I will definitely find great success. Everyday I put on a little more progress. And I'm positive that in the distant future I will be glad that I never quitted. If anything quitting will make you feel like shit. Knowing in the back of your mind that you quit is never a good feeling. Just remember to treat yourself as a baby learning a language rather than an adult who is supposed to know everything. Mindset and low expectations is KEY to happiness. And consistency is KEY to success
@@gapedandamazed6988 what book are you using? there is nothing wrong in learning Kanji if you can learn it at the same time.. but my advice would be start memorizing vocabulary. verb and adjective conjugation will be a challenge at first since there is a lot of condition on that. so basically hiragana and katakana is fine for the first steps.. then grammar and vocabulary. you can do the kanji once you able to finish the N5 lessons. there you can construct/write sentences while practicing kanji.
I highly recommend for grammar, tae Kim's guide book. It's free but you can get a hardcover copy for around $20. It's around 300 pages (don't exactly remember the number) it teaches you the basics all the way up to the harder stuff. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Learn grammar before vocab ( it's okay if you learn a little at a time like the first few hundred words). The reason why grammar is first to me is because when learning vocab (not all) you should read them in a sentence cuz sometimes you read pick up grammar in that way and learning a word without context I find sometimes is bad. An small example is 仕事. If you translate in English it can be work or job but sometimes the dictionary doesn't say that for other words and you can get confused if you read a sentence and the words don't make sense with each other because it has a different meaning and you don't know.
@@idkimjustdarkfudgelol6896 oh ik about that when I'm learning vocab I'm reading their sentences as well. Overtime I get to slowly figure out the grammar pattern without really diving deep into learning the grammar. But ofc sometimes I do open Tae Kim's guide for the particles and other grammatical logics
The sweet comments of all the japanese people here is so wholesome haha, I watched that video a long time ago when I was like 14 too. You've come a long way !!
That's so impressive 😭 I'm 20 years old and just finished my first year at uni studying Japanese and I'm still only around the same level you were back then. I got a 2:1 in my first year but looking through the GCSE syllabus for Japanese there's still things I don't know. I'm taking a year out of uni and I'm hoping to improve my language skills before my year abroad in Sept 2022 but I don't know how.
i recommend something similar to the refold method that *matt vs japan* has. It has personally helped me with my target lenguage (although not japanese) quite a lot! i don't do it exactly like he does but i think is a solid base where you can start off and try new stuff from it, so that in the course of a few weeks/months you find a good method for you personally :) his stuff is based on the mass inversion theory of lenguage learning, along with specific methods of study depending on your level of comprehension. If you already know quite a bit of your target lenguage, in my personal experience the mass inmersion along with some specific focused studying (in my case monolingual all of it) has really helped me advance at quite a nice pace.
@@killxtra Tbh idk, it's just a compulsory part of most undergrad Japanese courses at uni in the UK. But I remember all the different Japanese host unis we were getting sent to had different names of different programs by which they could accept us, I was supposed to go to Hosei University and they called it 'the ESOP exchange program'
I'm impressed. I've studied on and off for 15 years (I'm 30 now) and am nowhere near the level of awesome you are. Truly, it goes to show you that, when you're passionate and really want to learn, you achieve so much.
I remember logging into my old account to check my posts and feel nostalgic. but oh boy, If I only knew the amount of cringe and embarrassment I'd feel when I log in. not only were they embarrassing, but my English was very horrible too lmao. I couldn't stop cringing at my posts, I even wished if I listened to my dad and didn't create an account (because I was young back then). But at the same time, it made me realise how much my English has improved. From not being able to type "busy" properly (I might have or might have not spelled it as bussy lol), to thinking in English and speaking it everyday as if it's my first Language. I know, I probably have made few mistakes here and there. But still, I think I have improved so much and I'm proud of myself. I can finally understand what my favourite RUclipsrs are saying and enjoy what they upload even more now. Hopefully, one day, I'll be fluent in my target language too. Good luck everyone!! :)
bruh what was i thinking mine said "im beautiful and my lifes a movie and everyone stars in it" thats just part of the embarrassment should've listened to my parent too 😂
wow your japanese at that age was incredible!! im 21 and have been studying for 6 months and still have lots of difficulty speaking even a single sentence 😅thank you for sharing!
this is honestly so inspirational!!! even tho your embarrassed I'm really happy you made this video because its super motivating, thank you for sharing it.
Really impressive! I dabbled a bit in Japanese when I was 15, but that was about it. Nowadays I'm not really interested in picking it up again (unless it's for work/subjects I'm passionate about), but I still remember some of the stuff I learned back then and I can't stress enough how much the prior experience with kanji, no matter how limited it was, has helped me when I started studying Mandarin. I just find it funny now how much attention my brain subconsciously pays to the pitch accent when I'm listening to Japanese (that would have been so useful back then), and how it often tries to figure out the tones that aren't there whenever I listen to foreign languages lol.
Omg that’s so much improvement! So proud of you and watching this was super nostalgic! I used to watch you when I was studying Japanese in middle school because of anime lol 😂 I stopped studying because I had other interests and things going on. But I still loved watching! It’s so cool to see how far you’ve come and I wish you the best of luck!! 💕
Well, I was one of your subscribers back 10 years ago! You were a great motivation for me. I never learned Japanese but learned English, Spanish and Persian. Somehow you're a part of that.
What a throwback. I remember watching your old video way way back around when it was uploaded! I was really inspired by it, and now I'm even more inspired by how much you've improved since then
No waaaaay. We're about the same age (turning 24 this year), and I was also a huge fan of Visual Kei back then (2011), especially An Cafe. Same as you, I have studied Japanese (N3), but your Japanese is soooo impressive. 💕
Hannah!! ❤️ I can’t believe it’s been over 10 years already. I have been a follower since day 1. I remember my cousin introducing me to your videos. We were completely hooked on your videos since we wanted to learn Japanese ourselves! I even remember in one video you told your viewers to contact you anytime via Skype to practice speaking Japanese with you! I remember we contacted you and you responded so quickly! You were so nice! Me and my cousin were so embarrassed by our Japanese speaking skills that we didn’t have the confidence to video chat with you in the end. 🤣 I really wish we did though! In 2017 I would finally take my first Japanese community college course after self-studying with the GENKI book. 4 years later, my Japanese has improved a lot but my conversational skills are still terribly underdeveloped! In order to combat this, I plan to go to Japan to further enhance my Japanese skills. I’d say by 2023, I will finally be able to accomplish this desire! I just find our coming of age stories intriguing because I feel like we have some similarities. We are about the same age. We both became interested in learning Japanese around the same time. We began watching boat loads of anime. We both have insanely curly hair (lol, although I found out I had curly hair a bit later after chopping off my fluffy long, damaged-by-straightener hair 🤣). It’s like I grew up with you from a distance as we experienced similar changes and experiences. You will always have a special place in my heart Miss Hanake! And you will always have a loyal fan. Here’s to the next 10 years!
Es increíble ver cómo se ve el compromiso que tenía. Empecé a estudiar japonés este año, es difícil cuando tienes una “agenda apretada” por los estudios y nadie a tu alrededor te apoya... Aún así seguiré dando mi mayor esfuerzo. :)
I am half Brit half Icelandic and lived in Japan for 25 years, i graduated from japanese med school and worked as a vet and ethologist in Japan for nearly 10 years, and i must admit that not only your japanese is remarkable, but your body language and attitude is very impressive. Learning a language is also learning a culture, and both language and body language are intrinsically linked. You really adopted both, which may make you an odd one outside Japan if you speak english with a japanese body language, but in Japan, it will help you immensely, because Japanese judge foreigners far more by their manners than their language skills. And your body language shows that you are familiar and comfortable with the culture, which will, in return make Japanese people comfortable with you. Congrats ! Ganbare !
I used to watch your videos when I was around 14? I felt inspired by you to study Japanese but when I was about 16 years old I starting doubting myself and stopped studying sadly :( Now at 21 I started self-studying Korean and this time I'm not stopping until I reach decent fluency! I hope to study Japanese again someday as well. So glad to see you doing well! It's like seeing an old friend after a long while
This came up in my recommended and I clicked on a whim... Only to hear you're from Durham in the video! Small world, absolutely did not expect that, hardly ever see anyone from the north let alone my own county :O
wait. it's you! I saw one of your old videos and the one thing I can say is you almost perfect your japanese 10 yrs ago and now you're really impressive speaking Japanese. I hope I'II be like you someday.
New subbie here❤ I am glad i came across your channel. I am returning back to studying Japanese. I studied for about 8 years and then so much personal hardships got in the way, but I am back! I can understand you without the subtitles but somethings are still fuzzy 😂. I am super shy about speaking and my reading has slowed BUT, I am back!!! Now to binge your videos!
１０年間達成しましたおめでとうございます！ I'm also learning now, from reading and listening. Hannah, you said that at that time, you only picked up some Japanese somehow from anime. Does that mean you later realised that there were other ways of studying that you found were effective / would recommend? For example splitting time between watching anime and memorising vocab. Or maybe just watching a wider variety of media?
Right now I'm at around the same age and point that you were then, and I hope that I stay diligent and don't give up on this incredible language! Who knows, maybe I'll be fluent in the next 10-ish years too (I would hope so)
I don't know Japanese, I have a passing interest in it, at best. But you seem like someone who speaks well, watching an old video of yourself...I got my popcorn ready hahaha
Wow, you have really taken on Japanese mannerisms. I feel like I am watching a native. I have lived in Japan for around 12 years and I am still terrible :(
have you tried making friends with more japanese speaking people? I have the same problem living in the Philppines, but got better once I asked ppl I know often what things mean, and when they started using more Filipino around me
damn, that's some big risk u took, watching cringe moments of our past selves is unbearable 😭 still that's a good content u have there, u inspire me again to not give up my japanese learning!
You don't need to be embarrassed about the hair, I think it's cute Rather than Antique Cafe (I know this band!), your old days hair remind me of Hizaki from Versailles
10 years ago Japanese was already impressive ! Your Japanese now is almost perfect.
Yes ✨✨
You know, I really admire the fact that you made an effort to learn at such a young age, while at the same time finding your passion and chosen path for university. It’s very admirable! I really hope to be able to speak Japanese and understand it as well as you 😊

13歳でアニメ見てこんなに話せるの普通に凄すぎるし可愛い
それも私が思ったことです ！!
:)
うん！
「応援したい、その子を。」
10年間、その子を一生懸命応援してきたのは他の誰でもなくあなた自身ですよ。
そのおかげで、ずいぶん流暢に話せるようになったんですね。
どんな事でも10年間(以上)続けるというのは簡単なことではないです。
ましてや継続して向上していこうとする事など。
まさに継続は力なり、を表していますね！尊敬します！
とても優しいコメントありがとうございます🥺❤️
10年前の時点でこんなにも日本語上手だったんですね！
「えっとー」とか「あのー」が自然に言えている感じが既に日本語を話慣れている雰囲気が出ていてとても良かったです！
これからも応援しています！
You were only 13 and already pretty good at Japanese!! And your hair was cute
独学でここまで話せるの凄すぎない…！？
私が初めて英語の授業受けた13歳のときなんて全く話せなかった😭
正直ここまで話せるのはなかなかいませんよね

はいつも勉強になります。
13歳でこんなに話せるのほんとすごい！！！！
ですねぇぇ
本当に尊敬する！多分5年前から見てるけど、見るたびに努力してるのがわかります！
初めてチャンネル見させていただいたのですが、すごく耳がいいのか、どうしたらこんな綺麗な日本語話せるんだろうって聞き入ってしまいました…😌
13歳の時もこんなに話せて凄い！しかもひらがなだけでも理解できてたなんて…
当時の髪の毛はライトの当たり方で少し暗く見えてたけどでも全然可愛いかったです😍
時々13歳のハナさんがよくわからない日本語を言った時に現在のハナさんがそれを通訳してくれるのが面白かった
今の自分があるのは、その10年前の自分がこうなりたいって思っていたから。
はなさんは恥ずかしいかもしれませんが、われわれには、はなさんのBefore/Afterが分かり、
継続して、外国語を学ぶことって、本当にガッツあるなーと。
そして、格段に日本語が上達してます。もっと、いろんなチャンスをつかんで下さい。
13歳の頃でもかなりの日本語レベルです。言いたいこと全部わかる！独学でかなり頑張ってたんですね。尊敬します！
You're inspiring me!Thank you, I'm going to improve and stop procrastinating 🙃💓
最初にこれだけ喋れたらすごいです！そしてヘアスタイルも可愛いよー❤️尊敬します！！
１０年前の日本語も全部言いたいこと分かる！！今の日本語は完璧です！！

It's ok, you have never seen me talking to myself, my family has. And they think I'm still a psycho 😂🤣🤣
Dont worry, i monologue in japanese and english all the time and my fam also thinks im crazy lolllll
今も10年前もかわいい♡ I admire your efforts!!

結構前にこの方の動画見て、今おすすめに出てきて見たんだけど成長してて感動した...。流暢になってるし、大人っぽくなってる...
以前見たときは、私自身言語学んでいなくて小さいうちから言語勉強しててすごいなぁぐらいにしか思ってなかったけど、学び始めると言葉一つ覚えるのも難しくてこんなに喋れたのすごかったんだなと実感した。
これからも無理せず頑張ってくださいね。
You were the first RUclipsr I came across when I started learning Japanese. You inspired me to keep going! I'm still trying to keep up😅
Everyone is a beginner at first, and look where you are now! You’ve come this far!
素晴らしいですよ！
日本語の上達には驚きと尊敬です。
独学でここまでやれたとは、大したもんです！
10年前からめっちゃ日本語上手！「えっと」とか「あの」とか、考えてる時も日本語使ってるし、発音も上手！
Well, I was one of your subscribers back 10 years ago! You were a great motivation for me. I never learned Japanese but learned English, Spanish and Persian. Somehow you're a part of that.
I loved this video!! I speak Spanish and I'm learning Japanese right now. It is so hard but がんばります💪
hii!! I'm learning Spanish and Japanese too :) my nickname on duolingo: bruna.ntc
他の言語を話してる時のハナさんは知らないけど、少なくとも日本語に関しては最初から才能があったんだね
英語圏の人が話す日本語には独特なイントネーションがつくけど、ハナさんは最初から日本語っぽい発音で喋ってる
What a throwback. I remember watching your old video way way back around when it was uploaded! I was really inspired by it, and now I'm even more inspired by how much you've improved since then
一生懸命な姿は感動を呼び、応援したくなります。
素敵ですｌ
母国語から離れた言葉をこれだけ話せるようになるまで勉強を続けられたのは尊敬に値します。
ところでこの動画のタイトルですが、～「を」振り返ってみた、の方が日本語としては自然かと思います。～「に」振り返る、となるのは例えば「当時の動画を十周年の記念に振り返る」ですが、振り返る対象には常に「を」を付けます。ちょっとお節介だったかもしれませんが...
直してくださってありがとうございます！タイトルを変えます。感謝します🙇♀️
13歳のハナの日本語、直してあげたくなるよね😊 でもそれから 10年間、勉強し続けて、今は本当にペラペラになっている。You show persistence pays off.
おはようございます。お元気な様子、うれしいです。10年間以上達成、おめでとうございます♪
久しぶりに来たら登録した時より凄く上手に成っていてビックリ・・

Empecé a estudiar japonés este año, es difícil cuando tienes una “agenda apretada” por los estudios y nadie a tu alrededor te apoya... Aún así seguiré dando mi mayor esfuerzo. :)
I am half Brit half Icelandic and lived in Japan for 25 years, i graduated from japanese med school and worked as a vet and ethologist in Japan for nearly 10 years, and i must admit that not only your japanese is remarkable, but your body language and attitude is very impressive. Learning a language is also learning a culture, and both language and body language are intrinsically linked. You really adopted both, which may make you an odd one outside Japan if you speak english with a japanese body language, but in Japan, it will help you immensely, because Japanese judge foreigners far more by their manners than their language skills. And your body language shows that you are familiar and comfortable with the culture, which will, in return make Japanese people comfortable with you.
Congrats ! Ganbare !
the hold the hiragana song has on me... whenever I hear a word mentioned, my mind goes straight to the song omg
ハナさんの朝日新聞の記事、読みましたよ!
先ずは、修士課程１年終了おめでとうございます。私は初期の頃のHanaさんのRUclipsから見ていますが
あいうえおの歌にした、動画在りましたね、あれは素晴らしい日本語勉強の一つだと思います。それから
もずっと～日本語を勉強されて、神戸大学に交換留学生として１年いましたね、その後かな、テレビの旅
番組にも出て、宮崎県にいきましたよね。今のHanaさんの日本語は完璧だと思いますよ。頑張ってください。
今もだけど昔のハナさんも可愛いすぎ 人形ぐらい綺麗
ハナちゃんがここまで日本語話せるのはホント凄いと思う。
ほんとにうまい
I used to watch your videos when I was around 14? I felt inspired by you to study Japanese but when I was about 16 years old I starting doubting myself and stopped studying sadly :( Now at 21 I started self-studying Korean and this time I'm not stopping until I reach decent fluency! I hope to study Japanese again someday as well. So glad to see you doing well! It's like seeing an old friend after a long while
been following you since the begining . feels unreal seeing how time flows . Hiragana sing will for ever stay in my head.
we did the same aww 🥺 face at "I am trying my best" so cute and earnest
13歳のハナさんめっちゃ可愛い😍
this video is so relaxing and so cute!!
This video gave me more motivation to study Japanese. And maybe one day I'll become that fluent like you. 英語と日本語頑張ります
お互い頑張りましょう！
This came up in my recommended and I clicked on a whim... Only to hear you're from Durham in the video! Small world, absolutely did not expect that, hardly ever see anyone from the north let alone my own county :O
13歳の頃めちゃくちゃ可愛いです💕何を伝えたいかわかります。でも今はペラペラ！凄いです
こんにちは。2年前くらいにHanaちゃんの動画を見つけて以来、いつも楽しく見させてもらっています。後ろにオタフクソースが見える気がしますが、そうでしょうか！？😂毎回日本語の英訳をテロップに付けているのは本当にすごいですね☺私は英語の勉強中なので、お互い言語の勉強頑張りましょうね✨13歳のHanaちゃんから今のHanaちゃんへ成長した姿を見ると、本当に「継続は力なり」だな と思います！
Your hair back than was so cute tho!
wait. it's you! I saw one of your old videos and the one thing I can say is you almost perfect your japanese 10 yrs ago and now you're really impressive speaking Japanese. I hope I'II be like you someday.
すごい！私はイタリアに住んで25年....Hanakeさんが話す日本語のレベル、私のイタリア語のレベル😅
発音がすごい綺麗だ……
New subbie here❤ I am glad i came across your channel. I am returning back to studying Japanese. I studied for about 8 years and then so much personal hardships got in the way, but I am back! I can understand you without the subtitles but somethings are still fuzzy 😂. I am super shy about speaking and my reading has slowed BUT, I am back!!! Now to binge your videos!
you know ? I also have the same dream as you I want to finish my studies in Japan and make my life there I love you and good luck ✨✨
１０年間達成しましたおめでとうございます！
I'm also learning now, from reading and listening. Hannah, you said that at that time, you only picked up some Japanese somehow from anime. Does that mean you later realised that there were other ways of studying that you found were effective / would recommend? For example splitting time between watching anime and memorising vocab. Or maybe just watching a wider variety of media?
well you definitely achieved being a cutesy girl to me and ur japanese is so good now! thank you for the video
私も英語話せるようになりたい！
って思ってアプリで勉強してるけど、（勉強って言っていいのかな？😂）上達しない…。
ハナさんの10年前の日本語は、文法は違うところはあるけど、問題なく通じるしアニメを通してここまで話せるようになるの凄いです！
英語は授業で習ってるのにとても難しい…発音も難しいし。
ほんとにハナさんを尊敬します✨
i want to speak Japanese very well. I am very glad u improved yourself !!!
Oh, you knowing Victor caught me off guard, youtube algorithm banzai. Alas that was fun to watch, you've improved a lot.
13才のHannahちゃん中々可愛いですね、僕も日本語勉強してみます。
Omg, this video got recommended to me out of nowhere! I was like: wait... I know this face! The Hiragana song! This is fate! 😂
自分の昔の動画だったり写真見る時に黒歴史見てる気分になるのめっちゃわかるww
Right now I'm at around the same age and point that you were then, and I hope that I stay diligent and don't give up on this incredible language! Who knows, maybe I'll be fluent in the next 10-ish years too (I would hope so)
Your pronounciation is great!! Love your channel. And, dare I say, you’re super cute🥰
thank you so much!🥰
Girl, I studied Japanese for 3 years in university and your Japanese from when you were 13 is still better than mine. I think you did very well 😁
I don't know Japanese, I have a passing interest in it, at best. But you seem like someone who speaks well, watching an old video of yourself...I got my popcorn ready hahaha
Wow, you have really taken on Japanese mannerisms. I feel like I am watching a native. I have lived in Japan for around 12 years and I am still terrible :(
have you tried making friends with more japanese speaking people? I have the same problem living in the Philppines, but got better once I asked ppl I know often what things mean, and when they started using more Filipino around me
damn, that's some big risk u took, watching cringe moments of our past selves is unbearable 😭
still that's a good content u have there, u inspire me again to not give up my japanese learning!
You don't need to be embarrassed about the hair, I think it's cute
Rather than Antique Cafe (I know this band!), your old days hair remind me of Hizaki from Versailles
The first kanji that I learn was "雨" don't know why but I like the way it sounds
すごいな。素晴らしい。
genius powerrrr!!!!!
