Please turn on subtitles (the music gets a bit loud in some areas), and check out the description for a list of all resources mentioned in the video! Ahh! I seriously agonized over whether or not to publish this video for months because I didn't know if it would be weird to suddenly have such a chatty video when all of my previous videos were no-talking. Nontheless, I hope you enjoyed the video! ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა
I also prefer making silent/faceless vlogs but recently I finally got the courage to talk in front of the camera (it was my intention for my channel when I started but it took me a lot of time before doing it). It’s just so liberating. (๑>ᴗ
@@StudywithMiejie I am so happy that you were able to find the courage to talk in front of the camera, and I agree that it opens up so many options! Best of luck to you as well.
@@trulyjia I agree!! I feel so relaxed listening to your voice. It's so nice! Thank you for your tips!! I would like to first start with speaking and writing in Romaji. I know a little but I'd like to improve my level before trying to learn Hiragana and Katakana.
@@christopherpaul7588 I used romaji and the kana simultaneously because that was just the way my textbook taught it, but your idea sounds great! Keep going!
This is how i started to learn japanese, and after some months studyng i already passed the N5 exam and studying for the N4, with concistency and effort you can do it !!! :).
This is very inspiring. I’m somewhat a intermediate japanese learner ( been studying off and on for about 5 years 😅) . I’m more comfortable learning with mina no nihongo series because I love the challenge. Great video and give your best with your studies, I believe in you!
Thank you so much for your video! I'm on the other side, in meaning I teach Japanese and I hope you know that videos like this helps people like me to know how to become better ourselves! Keep up the great work!!!
I have completed learning hiragana and katakana and i am practicing them daily and also i have ordered genki books they will arrive soon. I excited about the books😊
Hi, I would love to add something to the kanji study. Brute memorization will burn you out and you may forget them pretty soon, because of their sheer number. I would recommend Remember the Kanji (it also has awesome Anki deck: All in One Kanji Deck (Heisig's RTK Order, 6th edition)) , Kanji Koohii and/or WaniKani. It is based on method, where you depict individual kanji into smaller parts (primitives) and make stories out of them. Even though it took me over one year to finish the book, I found it fun and rewarding. 😊
Thank you for the suggestions! I've heard great things about Remembering the Kanji, so I might try it out. I think I will probably make another video on studying Japanese, so lookout for that and remember to let me know what you think! Your comment was super helpful!
@@trulyjia I am more than happy to help fellow 日本語 student 😊. Also your video was somehow nostalgic and motivating, since I finished Genki series some time ago and was slacking off on the grammar. 日本語の勉強するのが頑張って🍀. このチャンネルに見るのが続いて、trulyjiaさんのプログレスをみて楽しむ😊.
your tips are really helpful! i think we live in really good times to learn languages since we have an acess to various resources on the internet and are able to surround ourselves with lots of content in certain language we're learning:) i also want to say that your handwriting (both in japanese and english) is really cute and neat, i love it!! would you mind telling me what pen did you use to make your notes? it seems really smooth
Your voice is so calming and soothing 🙊 Though I don't really know what you're talking about =~= But it's fine cuz I actually like to watch videos where people are learning things I haven't or didn't learned :]
I'm so sorry if I didn't give enough context for the video. I will be adding subtitles soon, but the names of all the apps and resources I mentioned are in the description if you would like to check that out. Edit: subtitles are now available!
Such a useful video with lots of great resources and tips! Thank you so much for including closed captions, I'm hard of hearing and rely on them greatly, so thank you! 💖
I also really like tofugu and tried relentlessly to find an app like the website, the only thing that’s really good for Japanese learning that I found were renshuu and kanji!
Thank you for the compliments, but it wasn't my original intention for my channel to be a language learning one :(( of course I would love to post about languages here and there and give tips, but I hope my audience will also enjoy my vlogs haha.
@@trulyjia I understand! The way you critique your vlogs are very aesthetic as well!! I'm new to your channel but I can definitely see people watching your content for the long run especially when they find themselves overwhelmed, or just needing time to chill, unwind and relax. On that hand, I just really think by slowy adding more and more parts with your voice at your pace, would bring in more of an audience because it's so calming lol! I hope I'm not over stepping boundaries or anything, sorry in advance if so!
Awesome video and helpful!!!!!! I just started learning Japanese so this helps!!!!!! My approach to learning kana and kanji is through calligraphy! Brush strokes or just when to press harder with a 2mm lead holder! Still haven't learned all of Katakana but I will get there! Hope you keep uploading more videos!!!!! I also started learning Korean, I was like why not 😝. Calligraphy for both, my main motivators are kpop for Korean and Anime for Japanese! I do need to start learning more verbal sentences and not just letters.
@@trulyjia yesssssss you definitely should try it!!!! I've been doing calligraphy for a while and it is time for me to expand into other languages! You can start with just a regular pencil (or a 2mm lead holder which I prefer), pressing a bit harder where you want more "emphasis" (thicker strokes), mainly down strokes but then you can just play around with it, almost like slang or accents on a laaaaaaanguages. Have fun and don't stop learning!
Fruits Basket is a series that my friends recommended me! The vocabulary and grammar in Fruits Basket is a bit difficult for me, but the story is really interesting. I'm so happy that you found my tips somewhat helpful!
i write traditional chinese and i was literally barely surviving in japan by only being able to read kanji😭😭 i go there often so im going to try to learn japanese
こんいちわ! I want to say "thank you" for this video! I had some problems with Japanese (I have already learned Katakana and Hiragana, and I don't really know what to do next), and it's now really hard for me to keep going, but because of the videos like that I'm still quite motivated (though confused 😅). Keep it up!
こんにちは！I'm still a beginner at the language, but maybe you could try learning a bit of grammar next. I think it's good to know some basic sentence structure! Immersion is great as well. You got this!
@@trulyjia ありがとう for advice! I've already thought of learning grammar first, I just was afraid that because I don't know many words it would be hard. Sorry for bother you, but if you want, can you please recommend me some of grammar books for Japanese (that can be download online)?
I've been very slowly learning Hiragana, I just had the idea yesterday that I should probably be learning Hiragana and Katakana at the same time...I know about 80% of the Hiragana symbols so far but will start adding in Katakana tomorrow. Great video but one thing, the background music was way too loud at certain points in the video. It was hard to hear you. Edited to add...just saw your comment about the background music, will watch again with subs on. 👍🏻👍🏻
@charlottesmom Just for my own reference, I wanted to ask: do you think the music was really loud during the whole video, or was it just a few areas? Was it still mostly understandable even without subtitles? Thank youu!
@@trulyjia Hi 😊, No it was only loud in a few parts, it was very vewable with subs on, even without if I was paying attention more. You could hear it was just distracting. 👍🏻
ive been looking for japanese vlog type videos to practice listening,, and a lot of them were non speaking,, it was difficult (but also really funny). and if i did find one that was talking it was actually korean or chinese speakers lol
@@3bouldersurban653 It's called Kinokuniya, and I think they have stores worldwide. They have a really great selection of books and manga written in Japanese.
As a fellow japanese learner, ill drop the real sauce. few strict rules beforehand: never use textbooks, only study grammar for 30 minutes max a day, only practice speaking after 8-12 months month 1: learn kana by heart and do Core 2.3k deck on aki watch japanese shows with english subtitles watch Cure Dolly grammar playlist videos (3 per day should be fine) month 2: do the same just start watching japanese shows without any subtitles month 4: should be done with core 2.3k and cure dolly videos start sentence mining and continue watching shows without subtitles start reading easy news and things of those nature month 6-8: start reading actual (children) books etc look up words you dont know, dont go overboard month 8-12: you can start speaking continue doing the other stuff month 36: you can stop sentence mining at this point you are fluent, you will never have to study japanese again. you we will be able to learn just by watching shows and reading books. this is all you need to learn japanese (or any language for that matter), no boring textbook study or classroom environment. im currently on month 25 and i completed N1 exam solely by immersing, if i can do it you can do it as well.
Wow, thank you for sharing so much advice! I am so sorry if my own tips are misleading because I am still only a beginner and can't really speak with that much experience.
@@trulyjia No it’s fine. I mean really i’m not even saying that what you taught in the video was inherently wrong but there’s a faster and less boring way to do it. You should really look into immersion (refold, mia, ajatt, steve kaufmann). I really do wish you would teach that instead to others and even better implement it for yourself. I only gave a rough sketch of how it done and fast you can accomplish your goal with solely immersing. But at the end of the day everyone has a method that works best for them and if you enjoy using textbook then there’s nothing wrong with that. Some people require structure for example and textbooks provide that. Also my comment may have came off as disrespectful towards your video and putting it down in a way but I’m really just trying to bring awareness to immersion methods in a somewhat subtle and oversimplified way
@@zwwz1424 No worries! I am actually really happy with your advice. I realize that although I mentioned immersion a bit in my video, I didn't really go into detail that much, so your comment is really helpful to others.
However you did share a lot of good points in the video. Especially the youtube bit with kemushichan and the yotsubato manga. Amazing advice for beginners. I can’t lie though the aesthetic of the video is amazing and all the writing looks like it’s fun to do, might have to pickup a textbook or worksheet as well 😂
I got mine from a store called Kinokuniya, but you can also find them on amazon if that's available to you. Here are some links: - Full set of all books + bonus stuff: amzn.to/3DYqyv1 - Full set of all books, no answer key: amzn.to/3KIjTZP - First Genki textbook: amzn.to/446wEE5 - Second Genki textbook: amzn.to/3skYRd2 Hope this was helpful.

hi, I just find about your channel and instantly click subscribe because i like the ways you explain your experiences, tips, and methods of studying. Your voice is so soothing and your bgm choice is really good but too bad the BGM volume is a bit loud and distracting. On some part it is a bit hard to distinguish between your voice and bgm because the volumes are too blended up. I love Inochi no Namae and other ghibli instrument, but your sweet voice shall be the main highlights here. Thank you so much for creating videos which shows studying can be fun and comforting.
Hey everyone, i want to ask a question to you... I want to go japan for bachelors but the duration of the course is 5 years, on the other hand, in my country i can complete my graduation (bachelors and master) in 5 years... So! What should I do? Should i complete my higher education in my country(india) or just go to japan which take a long time for graduation (8 years)
すてき！このビデオが好きです。 Your voice is so soft and soothing. Your tips are helpful and this video is very aesthetic. I also like your editing style. おめでとう。 I also have video like this one but your editing is way better. I’m excited to see your channel to grow. Keep it up! ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊˚
I watched your video on studying Japanese a few months ago when I was just starting, so I can't believe that I would see your comment here! Your editing is amazing; I love your style as well!
I am so sorry about that. As mentioned in the description, pinned comment, and my replies to all the comments, this is my first video with a voice over. Please turn on subtitles (which hopefully help), and I will be sure to work on any audio issues in the future.
The music is definitely too loud. Actually, in general the mixing is fucked up on the voice part. Do some mixing and lower everything else/elevate the voice level. The audio effects and the music were so obnoxiously loud compared to your voice that I can't remember anything from this video but the music and the occasional extra audio effect.
I am so sorry about the audio; it was not my intention at all for the music to turn out obnoxious (I had hoped it would be relaxing but I understand that was not achieved). This was my first video with a voiceover, and I will be sure to work on the audio more with future videos. I appreciate the advice, and I hope the video was still enjoyable regardless.

As a fellow japanese learner, ill drop the real sauce.
few strict rules beforehand: never use textbooks, only study grammar for 30 minutes max a day, only practice speaking after 8-12 months
month 1:
learn kana by heart and do Core 2.3k deck on aki
watch japanese shows with english subtitles
watch Cure Dolly grammar playlist videos (3 per day should be fine)
month 2:
do the same just start watching japanese shows without any subtitles
month 4:
should be done with core 2.3k and cure dolly videos
start sentence mining and continue watching shows without subtitles
start reading easy news and things of those nature
month 6-8:
start reading actual (children) books etc
look up words you dont know, dont go overboard
month 8-12:
you can start speaking
continue doing the other stuff
month 36:
you can stop sentence mining
at this point you are fluent, you will never have to study japanese again. you we will be able to learn just by watching shows and reading books.
this is all you need to learn japanese (or any language for that matter), no boring textbook study or classroom environment.

I want to go japan for bachelors but the duration of the course is 5 years, on the other hand, in my country i can complete my graduation (bachelors and master) in 5 years...
So! What should I do? Should i complete my higher education in my country(india) or just go to japan which take a long time for graduation (8 years)
You should definitely do it in india just keep on learning Japanese and when you graduate just get settled in japan even I'm gonna do the same
すてき！このビデオが好きです。
Your voice is so soft and soothing. Your tips are helpful and this video is very aesthetic. I also like your editing style. おめでとう。
I also have video like this one but your editing is way better. I’m excited to see your channel to grow. Keep it up! ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊˚
I watched your video on studying Japanese a few months ago when I was just starting, so I can't believe that I would see your comment here! Your editing is amazing; I love your style as well!
Your stroke order is unusual…
I am so sorry about any mistakes I made in the video. Thank you for the advice!
OH EM GEE YOTSUBA
unfortunately the music gets so loud in the middle of the video i can barely hear you
I am so sorry about that. As mentioned in the description, pinned comment, and my replies to all the comments, this is my first video with a voice over. Please turn on subtitles (which hopefully help), and I will be sure to work on any audio issues in the future.
The music is definitely too loud. Actually, in general the mixing is fucked up on the voice part. Do some mixing and lower everything else/elevate the voice level.
The audio effects and the music were so obnoxiously loud compared to your voice that I can't remember anything from this video but the music and the occasional extra audio effect.
I am so sorry about the audio; it was not my intention at all for the music to turn out obnoxious (I had hoped it would be relaxing but I understand that was not achieved). This was my first video with a voiceover, and I will be sure to work on the audio more with future videos. I appreciate the advice, and I hope the video was still enjoyable regardless.
The music is too loud
Damn i can BARELY hear her voice. That music is LOUD lol.
I am so sorry about the audio issues. As mentioned, that was my first video with a voiceover, and I will definitely work on things like that in the future. I hope you can understand, and please turn on subtitles, as suggested in the description and comments.
私は日本人です。あなたの字は日本人じゃないのにとても上手ですね！
HOW IS YOUR HANDWRITING SO NEAT 😭
