It was so lovely to meet you for a video editing session! <3 let's do it again sometimeeeee

Which language school are you going to?

Which school are you going to?

Kosatsu looks amazing! I am collecting ideas for a future trip so this is going in the list. Great video, fun to see your trips!

Thanks again for going to Disneyland with me! It was seriously so much fun and I got a lot of footage I'm compiling into a vlog soon😁 Wish you could have come to DisneySea too, that one is really fun. Come hang out in Thailand, we'll eat all the vegan food!

Only to follow the red lines on the ground in the Tokyo Station 😂 Life would should be always easier like that, isn’t ?

Habe auch überlegt Erdbeer Pflücken zu gehen, bis ich die Preise gesehen habe haha Falls du nach noch mehr UA-cam Freundinnen (zum gemeinsamen Video bearbeiten) suchst, ich freue mich über neue connections :)

das Erdbeer gewächshaus scheint sehr sauber zu sein~Unterscheidet sich Disneyland Tokio vom Disneyland Deutschland?

Ehh? Strawberry picking in the winter is something I've never heard of. What a nice thing to learn about :D

Have you visited Disneyland before? What’s your favorite ride? 🎢

I truly like the open and hounest way you make your videos. They motivate me a lot to keep up with my japanese yourney eventhough i struggle with it a lot. Thank you! And the new language will be Korean??? No I just read in the comments its not Korean and not my language Dutch. So I am going to guess swahili :)

I have also ADHD (inattentive type) but don't use any medication. I saw that your personality type is ISFJ and wondered if you ever did a personality test (big 5 model)? That could be very interesting. I recognize your perfectionism, but je level of detail and organizing seems very high from your video's. Did you train yourself this way? I'm sorry but I'm just very curious🤷‍♂️

Hi I'm new to your channel. In July I'm trying for JLPT N3 and hope I'll will pass. I stopped with my language school and continued with selfstudy. I'm not sure wich books are good. I have the Try series, Quartet series and Tobira. I'm still deciding if I want to go for N2 & N1

I used the kanji book to study the N5 and N4 kanji before I took N4 back in 2019, I actually really liked the Kanji book, starting from 0 it broke them down into more simply manageable chunks which made it easier to stick with, I remember for the N5 kanji I would write them all down in the order they were in the textbook everyday and I liked how it actually taught you write the kanji unlike the soumatome series which I guess there just isn't enough space. Tbh I didn't even know there was other Nihongo Challenge books, I thought it was just the kanji one, either way very 懐かしい

Hey celine i learn english from your vedio by reading subtitle . My english is improving day by day because of you .

been binge watching your stuff. I'm going to ALA in Tokyo in April. I'm scared, nervous, and excited all at the same time :)

I’m also applying trough go go nihon so excited

No offense but this doesnt strike me as a very typical example of what its like to move to Japan as a student. She got sponsored, she never found her own apartment, didn't get a part time job and didn't seem as intent on learning the language as her peers.

This video was very helpful to me. I'm teaching in Japan, but I often think I'd like to attend language school during my vacation time (3 months). I also have trouble with ADHD and pursuing perfection. Plus, I'm introverted with a low social battery and get really frustrated with teachers who like to use humiliation to motivate their students. You helped me figure out that I probably don't want to try language school in Japan.😅

ICLC in Okinawa ♥️

thank you so much for sharing your story!! I do agree, with your statemants about germany and mental health. If you were nerodivergend up to 10 years go, you were the "strange" kid, or the teachers just gave right up on you. (I saw that happen to other kids and heard it from friends). So getting a diagnosis as an adult probabaly took you a lot of courage! You have my respect! I probably would have just paniked with the doctor asking "have you watched to many videos about ADHD?"... because... YES.... :D And talked to friends with ADHD... How else would we even know anything about it?! The exact types (and not jsut streotypes) and symptomes arent talked about in germany at ALL! So, thank you so much for sharing your story with us!! <3

What a year it has been, following your journey in UA-cam, your experience is a rollercoaster ride. But you stayed, you were consistent, and you pushed through with everything. Very inspirational and encouraging. 🥹 Your 2025 goals is for the whole year or for the first quarter? I didn’t see the plan to take the JLPT this year? I’m guessing you are going to try to learn Spanish? Excited for all the other things you are going to share here. Keep your chin up!

Do you have any good kanji practise web or app recommendations? For N5 🌸

Hey seriin! MilkyLyrics here again 😋 thanks for sharing your 2025 goals.. i should make my own list of goals actually because i expect my life to change a lot this year haha. As for your new language... I'm just gonna guess my own mother tongue; Turkish haha. It's probably a long shot but might be possible because of the amount of Turkish people living in Germany as well as the language similarities between Japanese and Turkish. Would be super exciting to follow if thats the case!

Thanks for sharing your goals! My language guess is Italian! 頑張ってください！

You should be so proud of yourself for everything you've achieved so far ❤🎉 I'm not learning Japanese but I find your videos so relaxing and relatable to an extent, as I'm self studying Chinese 😊 Also, my guess is that your next language will be French? 😅 Warm greetings from Poland 💕

My language guess is Thai ❤

For every step that you’ve taken toward personal fulfillment, congratulations🎉. I’ve only very recently tuned in to your language-learning journey. Very exciting! My guess is Dutch as the new language. I hope all things work to your benefit

👏👏👏 for making so many hard decisions! Also excited this video is so long. Did you ever mention which podcasts you're listening to? I'm really interested in recommendations 🙏 I'm surprised you're planning on finishing the 中級へ行こう book since I had the impression you didn't like it. But maybe I remembered that wrong hehe I'm taking a wild guess and saying you're planning on studying Swedish or French. 🤭

I think I heard you mention a new language a while ago, is it vietnamese? Love the video really inspired me to think about my goals for this year too! (I’m quite spontaneous with Japanese study and I just do what I feel like lol) Good luck with the rest of language school💗

Congratulations on all the study goals and progress from 2024!! Let's see...a new language that's not Korean or Chinese...Hmmm...Portuguese??

Is the new language Chinese? It seems like that's a natural bridge for a lot of Japanese learners. Either that or Korean. 😀

What lessons did you learn from 2024? And what are your goals for the new year? Can you guess the language? 😊

Hey ! I finally arrived in Japan... And I started language school last week. I understand your pain lol, I have 2 kanji tests everyday in my class ^^" I try to keep motivation. Some days are nice, some others are very overwhelming (like today)... If you come to Tokyo don't hesitate to tell me, I would be happy if we can meet and/or study together (studying alone everyday is very さびしい...) Force to you !

Dealing with perfectionism is not easy. I also worked my way to burning out at the end of 2022 / beginning 2023, and now I also see the signs when it's coming again. Perfectionism, at least for me, comes from the desire to be better as everyone else. But comparing is the end of every happy feeling. The thing is, we, as japanese lerners, ARE getting better and better in the language. Maybe it doesnt feel like it, because after we have mastered around N4 or N3, we suddenly have the feeling that we are not progressing. But if you think about it, beeing able to speak and read a little bit of a language shorty after you have started learning it feels great, but at some point we have the feeling that nothing moves forward. This is not true. Like blowing a balloon, in the first blow the balloon gets quite big, but the last blows feel like it is not getting bigger anymore. My way of thinking right now is: "I will be better as everyone else, but in my own pace. Not today and maybe not tomorrow. But as I work in my own pace, which gives me the opportunity not to burn out and enjoy learning, I will be better than anyone else. It's a marathon." Wishing you very nice and fruitful 3 Months in Japan! Kind greetings from your former study colleague Richard!

I went to German language school in Frankfurt. It was very pleasant. Nothing like this.

Was arbeitest du denn?

I'm so sorry you are having a bad experience. I currently am also studying in Japan and it hasn't been easy for me neither. Ein Unglück kommt selten allein. Or however the saying goes. So much respect for you! I'll be rooting for you :D

Foreigners come from all over the world, with all sorts of different values, for all sorts of purposes, and with all sorts of different levels of Japanese language ability, so I think it must be hard for teachers to teach them. If teachers don't produce results, they'll be fired. If you were to be a teacher at this school, would you be confident that you could do it well enough that no one would complain? I think it's difficult to teach classes that satisfy all the students. If you want a kind teacher, you should have taken private lessons that are tailored to your level. I don't think you should have gone to a school like this.

Oh noo I think I am going to the same school as you in April for one year and now I am even more nervous! I thought these schools were well vetted through GoGoNihon 😭 😭

I really don't know what tell you as someone who hates courses and language schools and a big belivere of "you can learn a language by your own". But I'm sorry that you and your classmates has been going through this bad experience and I hope it doesn't affect your perspective on all the japaense teachers cause I'm sure there are good ones out there!

I cannot imagine continuing in a setting which has made me beat myself up about stuff. The fact that you decided to finish your studies means you have some fight left in you. As you said, don't try to aim for perfection. Just try your best and don't put pressure on yourself too much. If you feel like you learned more than you did prior to language school, thats the biggest accomplishment 💪🏻 頑張ってください!! Also thanks for the reply on your previous video ❤️ and for being transparent about your experience.

oh nooo Serin... so sad to hear you got into a bad school... 😞 keep going and try to make the best of the remaining 3 months

I started language school in Tokyo the same time as you in October and I've had a lot of the same experiences. One of my teachers would pick on us so much that one of my classmates filled out a complaint.

Be careful who you associate with. There are dishonest people in Japan who take advantage of foreigners who don't know the law. Since you are paying the school, the school is supposed to treat you well. I think it is very suspicious that the school teacher may be rude to you. You should be free to quit the school any time you want and perhaps find another school. I have never been to a Japanese language school, so I don't know how they work. I attended for a short time a free Japanese course run by volunteers. I thought it was very good, I had no troubles with them.

🗻⛩🥰 Love your channel, a must watch 🤗

I went to language school in Japan too and I understand you totally. I really felt stressed all the time, although I did Japanese language just to get the visa. Language schools have to be kind of strict, I guess, put up pressure, it´s the idea to give your best and also make sure that the students give their best. Of course, they could do it differently, but that´s Japan, with its good and best sides. Dealing with stress isn't easy, but just think of the fact that it´s only 3 months and you will learn something. After leaving Japan, I even miss language school.:-) When you are there, you don't feel it that much, because you get used to living there. Therefore: Ganbatte ne...you don't need to be the best, just do it for yourself. Everything will work out and the experience of living in Japan will prevail...

I'm looking for Japanese language schools in Tokyo and am dying to avoid the one you're talking about. Any chance you could please share some level of detail? Maybe general area within Tokyo?

What school is this?

which textbook did you use?
