Hi Amanda, Just starting my Japanese journey and I've found your channel. How's your Japanese going? All the best!

At first, I really struggled with learning Vietnamese. But once I started using Immersive Translate to supplement my language learning that was when everything changed. I use Immersive Translate to generate subtitles to my Netflix and UA-cam, and this has been a great way for me to immerse myself in my target language. I’m making progress every day and couldn’t be happier.

Thanks for your video

Thanks for the tips! I think jumping in and not being afraid to make mistakes is what I need most :)

As a native Spanish speaker, we make an effort to understand the foreigner who is making an effort to be understood, so we usually ignore the mistakes if it can be easily understood anyway. Therefore, as for us don't be afraid to make mistakes guys

Hello ma'am I am Raju kumar from India I want to do conversation with you would you like to do conversation with me I am learning English speaking skills ya if anyone interested want to talk with me

if my native language would be sweedish, i wouldn't care about other languages))

i have smth to say. for me actually, someone who speaks two foreign languages fluently in a decent way, i'd say that your goal has to be simply getting better rather than just 'getting fluent'. setting a concrete goal, working towards it and achieving it is more practical than hoping for an end without taking a path, and then i promise! fluency will come naturally. do you agree? looking forward to any answer.

random but your tattoos are so beautiful

one piece is the best!

This video is amazing! I do the same in my readings, but I look up the definition immediately right after encountering each new word, I don't wait like you. But what do you do after looking up the definitions? do you add them to any vocabulary list? Do you review them from time to time?

This is one of the most helpful video I've bee seen lately . Thank you for the tips.

astonishing content, plus the fact you have burned subtitles within your video, is even better. greetings from Colombia!

📚😊

I didn’t even know you were not s native English speaker! Your accent is great! Nice!

Nice girl

Thanks Amanda. ! Your advice is spot on ! So many videos here are full of completely useless advice from self appointed " experts "...! As for so called " polyglots "...😂😂😂 ...who speak 9 languages....Please...!?!? It hurts when I laugh.!!

That guy that called his friend an idiot for replying in English is legendary.

I have no goals associated with my Korean learning. WTF haven't I quit already 😂😂

Gracias señorita, necesitaba un poco de motivación extrinseca

Hello👋 Thank you for your tips,it really helps me and your videos motivated me to keep going😊

I’m starting this with children Greek books

Very interesting. I take a bit of a different method. I do a lesson on NativShark every day to learn grammar and phrases. Learn 15 new words/ review words in Anki. Then I watch some Japanese UA-cam videos and some anime while using the Migaku browser plugin to help look up words and make sentence cards for Anki. Besides my NativShark lesson, I don't really stress too much about grammar. I mostly focus on learning new words and getting as much input as possible per day. I spend maybe 1 hour on Anki and grammar and about 2 hours in comprehensible input. I plan to eventually start listening to podcasts once my listening skills level to a bit and I stop needing subtitles to understand the videos I'm watching.

I can't speak English yet 😢

Star is a difficult word.

Keep doing.

💕💜💕

Genki would not be the same without Tokini Andy! I was struggling to get through them alone. A must for self learning. Thank you for sharing your routine ❤

I will sub cuz u are vegan

Yay

Thanks for the mention. Hope you'll give us a read sometime -- The Crystal Hunters Team.

Thank you for this video. Could you please make a video how you register or practice vocabulary??

I am against using ANKI or any kind of flashcards. There are many disadvantages with flashcards: 1. They are time-consuming. It may take a long time just to write them. Then you have to read and keep repeating until you get the answers correctly. That can also take a long time. 2. They are boring, tedious, you may lose motivation. 3. They take the words out of context. It is much harder to memorize and understand them. Flashcards are completely inefficient compared to just reading. 4. The fact that you can answer all flashcards correctly doesn't mean you have learned the subject. Why not just read a book? In the same time you create and read flashcards you could just read a book. In one hour you can read several pages of a book. In the same hour how many flashcards can you write (and read)? Flashcards are much more time-consuming than just reading. Or, if you are studying something like Physics or Mathematics, you should just solve a bunch of exercises from a textbook. Most textbooks have plenty of exercises for you to practice. All you have to do is solve them. The book author already prepared all the exercises for you, you don't need to write them, unlike flashcards. If you are learning a foreign language you should read as much as possible. Reading is the best way to acquire vocabulary. You consult the dictionary for the words necessary to understand the text. Reading is much more fun, entertaining, engaging and pleasant than using flashcards. By reading you always see the words in context. In the case of JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) you should buy specific books for it. There are books on sale that specifically help you for the test, offering a bunch of exercises similar to the JLPT questions. It is a much more efficient way to study than flashcards created by someone you don't know. Even if you nailed all the ANKI flashcards, there is no way to know if the flashcards are actually related to the JLPT. Textbooks on the other hand will base their exercises on the actual questions that appear in the exam. I have been studying Swedish for 3 years now mostly by translating song lyrics. I have translated almost 500 songs. I listen to the songs while reading the lyrics, I get vocabulary and pronunciation at the same time. It is a lot of fun and pleasant, I never get bored. I don't worry about memorization, I only care about understanding the lyrics. In the beginning I was barely translating one song in one hour. Now I can translate more than 8 songs in one hour. And I never study more than one hour per day.

Thank you for this content ❤

This video is so well done, it has motivated me to keep going, thanks. You deserve much more subscribers.

So this first time I give comment to anyone I want to say you are soooo wonderful amazing I like to see you keep doing like that ❤

I have watched 1000+ hours anime but i didn’t know anything about japanese

I am exploring this with my language journey this year. Something i love about Japanese there is reading content❤❤❤

hi i would very appreciate it Amanda if u help me with this, any ideas how to keep going in german without my mind going blank and leaving everything behind followed by quitting ? and thank you so much

kon'nichiwa Amanda I have learned japaneese since july last year. If you want to learn japaneese first learn hiragana and katakana PLEASE! Do that. After kana use genki 1 this is very good book. Also you can use min'na no nihongo. Too good

Great content, thanks for the video. In the opportunity, I wish everyone here that Jesus, the Name above all names (Philippians 2), bless you, and may you feed from His Word and Salvation!

Currently self-studying Japanese and have a tutor. The hardest thing for me as an older learner is to dare to make mistakes. I'd argue that learning to make mistakes feels harder than learning Japanese itself! Thanks for this video! <3

I’m very grateful for this randomly rocking up in my recommended

Good luck!

this really resonated, great video!

P r o m o S M 👌

I try to do a little bit every day...even if it's just listening to a 5 minute podcast in my TL. It's really easy to get distracted, though. LOL Also, it's funny...you're a an English-speaking Swede who learned Spanish and is studying Japanese. I'm an American who speaks Spanish and who lived in Japan, and I am currently teaching myself Swedish.

"I'll see you in my next video. Sayounara!" I laughed. Wiktionary: *This term has strong connotations of finality, so this is not used when departing a place such as one's home, unless one intends not to return in the foreseeable future.* When I was using the audio CD from a textbook (maybe Genki), I found it amazingly difficult to listen to some tracks at full speed. Even slowed, it was so hard to hear all the sounds, which I decided was because of pitch changes. Basically, speakers of non-tonal languages have to learn to pay attention to tones, even if they're just an accent in Japanese and not really essential to meaning. I never got to try it, but a method that sounded really good to me was to basically learn entire TV episodes or movies, using Japanese subtitles (and a dictionary, looking at the raw subtitles for ease of input) so you know what words you're pronouncing. An easier step might be to just pick a short scene in each episode you watch, maybe 5~20 seconds long, and repeat the scene until you can pronounce all words in the scene at full speed. An easier step before that, since it might be hard to rewind within full-length episodes, could be to learn the theme song for One Piece (I assume each season has separate theme songs, like with other shows). It's a lot easier to find subtitles (English, romaji, and kanji) for a theme song than for a full episode, and a song is less likely to have bits of ridiculously fast talking.

Great channel Amanda , I recommend for learning asian languages to get into the world of Mnemonics ( memorization techniques ) to recall the kanjis and the japanese words , techniques like memorizing by association and the memory palace techniques are amazing for japanese language , I studied 3 months of mandarin chinese and these techniques really help me ,( I had to quir mandarin due to full work )but you can find , these techniques here in yt , take care great channel and content.
