If I want to learn enough to fly over there for 3 months in October, whats the fastest way for me to learn enough to get by day to day and flirt with a few girls
The continued talking in the background killed me 🤣 This is what I'm scared of happening if I visit Japan. Worst yet...I'm not even studying thr language, lol.
I know this is from two years ago but.. having gone to Japan with a very little amount of Japanese knowledge, you’ll be fine haha. Many Japanese people can at least speak a little English, especially in the areas with more tourists. I recommend learning a little something but that’s just because they absolutely love it when you can speak a little !
Yeah, to be honest, when I went to Tokyo, even though I'd studied Japanese for a while, I actually had _the hardest time_ getting anybody to actually _try_ to talk to me in Japanese. They all insisted on talking to me in English anyway (even when I was speaking Japanese to them!) Seriously, unless you're going to be out in the countryside somewhere, you really do not need to worry about it. There are tons of people around pretty much everywhere who can speak English if you're not skilled at Japanese, and they're happy to do it (actually, I think a lot of them are genuinely excited for the opportunity to use their English skills with a native speaker, TBH). Also, pretty much all important signs are written in both Japanese and English, too. You genuinely do not need to know any Japanese at all to do just fine there as a tourist, in most places.
I thought I at least knew a handful of German thanks to Duolingo but the moment I used an online service to speak with someone from Germany, every ounce of German I knew vanished from my mind and what I'd learned felt terribly unfitting. We ended up conversing mostly in English.
At least French is Latin so you can sorta guess. Japanese is a whole new character system. I did three years of French and I'm only on my second year of Japanese. Maybe it's because i am teaching myself this time around. But it's much more difficult
I've been studying English for many years as a Japanese person, and I feel the same way. As a language learner, I have one piece of advice for you. It is soisosoi soy sosoi soi soi sososoi soi soysoy soy desu.
😂😂😂 ありがとうございます！ I can also give you an advice, if one day you want to learn portuguese: Quando você soi sosoyso sosoi soysosoi sosoi, e ai soi sosoi sosoi sosou você pode soyso.
As an English Native speaker, I can confirm I have some moments like this. Eminem's raps at some points are just nonstop English words thrown back-to-back with LITERALLY NO BREATHING...I must not be a native English speaker then :(
Lol I have the exact same textbook, guess I need to do a lot more studying before I go to Japan in a couple years, but this is exactly how I imagined my visit going
As someone who has English as their first language, I wonder what it’s like learning it especially because even native speakers mess some things up and there are exceptions to literally every rule
Something I learn bc of these video: よろしくお願いします" (yoroshiku onegaishimasu) does not directly translate as "nice to meet you", although it is often used in contexts where people meet for the first time. It is more of an expression implying a hope of cooperation or goodwill However, it is commonly used in introductions or first-time encounters, so you can interpret it as a polite form of "nice to meet you" in some contexts. 👍🏻
as a kpop fan, i associate it with 잘 부탁드립니다 (jal butakdeuribnida) which koreans also use when meeting new people to say something like "please take care of me," "please be good to me" or "i hope we can be good friends"
yes よろしくお願いします does not directly translate into "Nice to meet you", as it directly translates into "[I am] properly (and humbly) do(ing) request" よろしく = Adverbial form of 宜しい which is the more formal version of いい "is good, proper" お = honorable prefix (御); also used to indicate 尊敬語 (respectful language) 願い = 連用形 ("masu-stem") of verb 願う "to wish, request" します = 丁寧語 (polite language) of する; here used to indicate 謙譲語 (humble language) in combination with the aforementioned お/御 So yea, "nice to meet you" is a mere westernized way of the way more humbly and elegantly expressed よろしくお願いします in "I kindly request of you to treat me well" as a more sophisticated way of the literal "properly do request". It's not that hard, is it? Why do so many ppl almost never get this right in their translations..
Found this video on Instagram, someone actually credited you. I died after the "could you speak slowly" and he just continued on at normal But then, the Genki at the end, that was brilliant
When you tell the neighborhood chinese ladies you're learning chinese, so every time they see you they walk up to you and start saying a whole lot of stuff, but you don't understand a word because they speak a dialect and you only know mandarin, and you can't tell them that because language barrier again, haaaa

This happened to me when I was being given a tour of a historical house by a docent who was speaking Japanese but had English cue cards in her hands so us English speakers could follow along. I guess I was giving off vibes that I could speak more Japanese than I can, since I was politely nodding and interjecting a few Japanese phrases like, "すごい!" because at the end of the tour she just rapid fire began asking me all sorts of things and it threw me for a loop. Can definitely relate to this short! Thank you for making it.
Oh man this is so good I saw this on shorts and this video just lives in my head and today I just searched " Animated guy speaking Japanese " And I'm so glad this was the first thing that came up! It's wonderful
@@niranx_yt7084I've been learning japanese recently! ^v^ So I tried to see if I can understand what you were saying but uhh... ;v; I hate kanji so much, うざいです。 (that's how I say "it's annoying?" right?)
Hahaha rough! Love the it. If I made one it would be learning German for 3+ years and then not getting the nerve up to say more than the simple thank you on a 3 week trip to Germany 🤦♂. So at least you tried.
What has helped me the most has been making Japanese friends. This is obviously not possible for everyone, but is definitely something that I recommend to anyone trying to learn Japanese! Having the possibility to practice speaking and listening while doing things you would normally do anyway has really been a great help! It cannot be understated. Another thing is practicing speaking at every chance you get. When I first started learning speaking felt awkward, and I didn't feel like I was making much progress. If there is one thing I wish I could've done differently it is practicing speaking from the start. Lastly, consuming Japanese media. I personally watch animes and dramas with Japanese subtitles. I don't recommend this for beginners though. It's important to get a good understanding of grammar and vocabulary before you do this. It's a really good way to improve speech, listening, and reading at the same time. This is all from my personal experience of course, everyone learns differently, so do what is best for you! みんな頑張ってね！
This is why I love my tutor so much, we follow the Genki textbook but we also have lessons where we just chat about whatever I want to learn so I pick up so much practical vocabulary and it never feels dull or repetitive. It’s also so important to have that regular old everyday conversation practice - Im hoping next time I visit Japan I might actually have the confidence to use what I know, the first time I went I froze every time 😂
Lololol that Genki book is still on my book shelf xD It took about 3 years till I could understand people enough to have moderate conversations. TvT unfortunately I haven't kept up the practice as much as I did then.
Guys, study japanese media not just textbooks. It will give you a lot of insight. And dont lose hope, if you stay committed you will become fluent :) ive been studying for 2.5 years and it sounds less like そういうそそそうそういうそおいうそそそ each time i study
the german channel "einfach japanisch" send me here. im glad he did. your animations are awesome. i really hope you can do this full time in the future. (im sorry my english is worse than your japanese 2 years ago)
this is so real, I play VR Chat in JP worlds and this is my daily routine. You can feel comfortable undestanding anime without subs but when you talk to a real japanese... is other level.

Aight story time Traveling in Japan right now and while strolling around the Tokyo Imperial Palace, some old guy starts walking towards me. And with the little Japanese I’ve picked up from social media, I naturally responded out of respect. I didn’t know that he’d start talking to me for two hours. Threw me off guard but it was one of the best two hours I’ve had so far and I don’t think anything else will top that for the rest of my trip. He gave us a free trip around the place and told stories about the plants there. I couldn’t understand most of it but the words or phrases I did made him really happy; which also made me happy. I remember that he was grateful that I could talk to him despite the language barrier. In the end, he gave me his thanks for listening and even handed over his talisman to me as a token of gratitude. 岡部さん これを読んでいるなら、いつかちゃんと話せるように頑張ります。私はあなたが何を言っているのか疑問に思うことなく、あなたの祖父の話について話すことができます。電話をお持ちでないことは承知しておりますので、すぐにご連絡できることを願っておりますので、番号は変更しないでください。もうすぐ大学生なので待っていてください！
Went to japanese classes and i asked my sensai "how long will it take for me to speak like japanese and understand anime and movies " he said years minimum 3 😢 i am at 8 months now.
It do very much be like that though. I find the writing/reading easier than the listening/speaking, but that's just because I'm still bad at recognizing some of the sounds. Or maybe it's because with writing/reading, you can take your time and look up the kanji and always work it out. Just recognizing a few patterns and words throughout a whole conversation is frustrating. When you've missed it or don't know the words, you're basically screwed.
I’m currently learning Spanish in college and this is literally the exact same thing. Everyone is either talking so fast that I cannot hear or understand a word they say
Actually the quickest I've ever made a cartoon. Don't get used to it!

That's when you say
"Ah.. hmm..."
「ごめんじゃあね」
And back away slowly
頑張って！
早く聞こえてしまうかもしれないけど最初だけだから！
Went to japanese classes and i asked my sensai "how long will it take for me to speak like japanese and understand anime and movies " he said years minimum 3 😢 i am at 8 months now.
Yup that was my exact experience the first time I landed in Japan as well.
It do very much be like that though. I find the writing/reading easier than the listening/speaking, but that's just because I'm still bad at recognizing some of the sounds. Or maybe it's because with writing/reading, you can take your time and look up the kanji and always work it out.
Just recognizing a few patterns and words throughout a whole conversation is frustrating. When you've missed it or don't know the words, you're basically screwed.
I’m currently learning Spanish in college and this is literally the exact same thing.
Everyone is either talking so fast that I cannot hear or understand a word they say
Legend says that the old is still speaking 😂😂
