I think the most similar one would be TokiniAndy, otherwise I can also recommend YUYU 日本語 for immersion Hope that helps and thanks for watching 🙂

Hi! I went through the two Genki books sequentially, so there was no overlap. The videos may have been uploaded with a slight delay, so I can see how it would look like I learned from them at the same time. It wasn't particularly difficult, but it was definitely a lot of work. Never went through the workbooks. I think it's fine to skip them. Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching! 🙂 Good luck on your learning journey! I'm sure will enjoy Japan. It was an amazing experience for me 😁

@@johnbraat Oh awesome! Knowing this, the journey ahead is definitely less daunting. Thanks for the reply mate, love from Australia!

The website I use in the video is WaniKani. It's a website to learn Kanji. Hope that helps Thanks for watching! 🙂

@@johnbraat thankyou, i watched all your videos it helped me inspire a lot, i will go in 5,5 months to japan i have the same goal!

Sounds like you are motivated! Good luck with your studies and thanks for watching! 🙂

Yes, you can use it just on your phone if you want.

Yeah, you could take every word you encounter in a specific manga and create a sentence card for it in Anki. I would keep it super simple: Front side: word in Kanji/Hiragana/Katakana (whatever is the most common way to read it) and the sentence you read it in as a hint field. Alternatively, just the full sentence with the word in bold would be fine as well. Back side either a translation, or if you want to be hardcore just a description of the word in Japanese. I wouldn't pack the cards with too much fluff, simply because it takes longer to create the cards. At the end of the day you need to know what you want to add if it really helps you (images, sound, etc.) Bonus: If you want sound for words you can check out "forvo[dot]com". There are recordings from native speakers for most words. You can download them for free and add them to your Anki cards if you want Hope that helps 🙂 Thanks for watching!

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!

Glad you liked it! Might do that one day, haha :D Thanks for watching!

Around 2000 cards should be fine to have a good foundation for immersion, so you are all good! No need to go through all of the 6000 cards I would recommend to immerse from the get go, even if it's just 5-15 minutes a day. A great place to start is "NHK News Web Easy". Thanks for watching!

Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!

👌 same page. New videos are without ambient music Thanks for watching

@@johnbraat Thank you. Subscribed.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! It was a lot of work :D Thanks for watching!

I did about 843 hours in 6 months (3:38). 1800 hours would insanity, haha 🤣

@@johnbraat Thank god. I thought I heard 1843 hrs. I worried for your sanity

Glad you liked it! Thanks! I'm stoked 🙂 New video is already in the works

Hehe, little easter egg. Pun intended 🤣 Thanks for watching!

Glad you liked it! I think with the new FSRS algorithm there is a bit more control in terms of how big your work load gets. Best way to learn is still immersion, so no biggie if you end up hating it again, haha. Thanks for watching!

​@@johnbraat I will definitely give it a shot, this tutorial has made it seem significantly more appealing 👏 PS. How is your Japanese going nowadays, if you don't mind me asking? How would you rate your speaking and reading/listening comprehension?

@@japanese2811 Of course I don't mind asking 🙂 It's going really well. I just cracked the 2000 hours studied mark last month. Comprehension wise I'm fairly confident it's around the N2 level. I currently watch Jojos and understand most words. I definitely still encounter words I don't know though. Reading is also fairly good, probably because 1300 of the 2000 hours was just Kanji/Vocab study. Speaking is getting better and better. I can definitely hold a conversation, but I'm still fishing for words here and there. I have consistently been doing one hour of casual conversation via italki weekly. Hope that answers it 🙂

@@johnbraat Thank you sir, it is really cool to hear how your experience is panning out. Congrats on the milestones so far! 🥳 I know language learning is not really a comparable thing across individuals for a variety of reasons, but it's still fantastic insight to see how people progress with time. I have also spent countless hours studying Japanese, and I think I can confidently say that vocabulary is still the thing that holds me back so much. I don't know how to "catch up" on this. Like I've spent many hours on grammar and kanji but now paid the price by not doing enough immersion. This year I changed that by going full immersion (primarily reading and podcasts) with virtually no grammar, but the more I read or listen, the more I can tell that there are sooooo many words that I don't know 🙈 The immersion route definitely helps get the words into my head (eventually!) but it feels a lot slower and less methodical than learning vocabulary directly. I don't suppose you have any advice for me on this given your experience? Anyway, long story short, this is probably the reason why I am keen to try Anki again despite my reservations about it 😅 So thank you once again for your helpful tutorial! PS. I also really want to try deliberate conversation practice this year, but I keep going back and forth on how valuable it is... Is this something you'd highly recommend?

Awesome! I hope the video helped and thanks for watching!

I hear you. If it's about tests in school or uni I would recommend two things: 1. Try asking your seniors if they might have a picture of their old test, or if they remember what was in it 2. During the term, while going through the subject material ask the teacher/professor something like "What would an exam question for this topic look like?" I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and good luck in your exams! 🙂

Glad you liked it, Raphael! Thanks for watching and thanks for the support! 🙂

Never said he learnt the language not even in the title, it’s like a point on a timeline, this was 6-7 months into his jap journey

Hopefully not for long after watching this video 🙂 good luck in your studies!

I wish I could recommend teachers, but it really depends on what your preference is in terms of teaching style and also your availability during the day. I highly recommend flipping through the teachers available in your timezone and watching the intro videos. If you find one that seems nice, just give them a try with a trial lesson. Trial lessons are usually around 30 minutes and reduced in price. Hope you find a good teacher! Thanks for watching and good luck in your studies! 🙂

If I understand correctly, you are struggling with the work load. If that's the case, what I have done is focus on max 3 things (different subjects) per day to not split my attention too much. In my experience the hardest part about written assignments, like essays or even software, is to get started. Once you have started they kinda just flow. If that makes sense. What worked for me is to get a first draft/version done as quickly as possible (doesn't need to be perfect) and then let it sit for a few days so you can focus on something else. Get back to it after a few days and fix it up. It's amazing how your mind will work on these things in the background. For the technical assignments (maths/physics/algorithms etc.) I tended to just finish it in one or two consecutive sessions. For midterms and finals flashcards did the trick. IMO you MUST add flashcards to Anki and review them from the very start of the term. If that's not enough you either need to put in more hours, or you are getting distracted. I hope that answers your question. If not, feel free to ask away 🙂 Thanks for watching!

Glad you liked it!

Just became your sub @@johnbraat

@@ELIASUCCESS Thanks for the support!

Amazing progress! Konbini interactions are hardmode, haha. They speak incredibly fast and slur the words quite a lot. Good thing is, they always say the same thing so we don't actually have to understand it 100% 🤣 If we just keep immersing and studying we will eventually be fluent 💪 Thanks for watching!

Inquiries can be sent to the email in my channel description 🙂 Thanks for watching!

That's the way. Thanks for watching!

(I'm always faceless)

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching! 🙂

Thanks! Yeah, still at it 🙂 I went into this with the intention of it being a lifelong endeavor Thanks for watching!

Not sure of the exact word count, but It should be between 12000 and 14000. Unknown words, or lookups highly depend on the difficulty of the Anime. I'm currently watching Jojo's and probably have around 0-15 lookups per episode. Some words I have already seen and forgotten, some completely new. Thanks for watching!

Hey @mary_04, glad you enjoyed the video! You are absolutely right, the Atomic Habits approach James Clear describes in his book is applicable to a lot of other things in life 🙂 Thanks for the feedback regarding the video description, I will keep that in mind! Thanks for watching!

That's awesome! Keep immersing and maybe even rewatch some of the things to get some extra repetition in. Glad you liked the video, and good luck on your english learning journey! Thanks for watching 🙂

Thanks! I will do my best 🙂 Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Glad you liked the video.

Glad you enjoyed the video and learned something from it. Have fun on your language learning journey!

Thanks@@johnbraati subbed also. Looking forward to more

It is slow. I'm already done though. Haha

Yep, still at it 🙂
