personally Subaru is in the hololive's english tier of "can read, 80% understood". like she can read but she doesn't understand the most of it but by further scanning she gets the gist of the sentence.
Of all of the JP girls, her reading is pretty good. Same for Fubuki. Korone got massive dedication to go through things, even if it takes a while. Miko's Elite English™ is on a different level, but then it's Miko and her pronounciation isn't the best even in japanese.
I don't understand her, but love hearing her speak, sing, laugh, screaming from scary things, and watching all her energetic actions like jumping, sidestepping, and especially when she sits. Plus her personality, and quirks are a huge win. Always golden. Lady Subaru.😍
Japanese is pretty Frankenstein as well. Kanji has inconsistent pronunciation that’s based on context and loan words are peppered throughout the language.
@@andrewli6606 English feels like it was made by a drunk person Japanese feels like it was made by a teen that doesn't care about anything Spanish feels like it was made by imperialists that felt important and self righteous, but then their civilians took over and made up a bunch of words out of nowhere for no reason, and it became tradition to make up new words every year Italian feels like it was made by comedians or trolls, just to mess with foreigners, but that's probably because I knew spanish before I knew italian. Australian..... mesopotamia. (Yes Australian is different from English). Mesopotamia is mesopotamia
I sympathize pretty heavily with her point about how sentence structure is different between English and Japanese. That's part of why it's been difficult for me to learn Japanese, even though I've been studying it for about a year.
I used to have this old horror stream of hers bookmarked where she was reading in game English notes pretty well. None of the JP girls have any real reason to go out of their way to try and speak English, but it's really heartwarming to see them do it just to be closer to their fans.
@@phrophetsamgames No this was a really long time ago. Well over a year. She was still using her first model. It might've been one of those weird jump scare JP flash games. I know Korone's stream of The House got deleted/privated so it might've been that one.
Considering how many fans come from Anglophone countries, it's a very smart move to make yourself accessible to both fan bases. I'm sure the biggest reason why Pikamee is the most popular VOMS V-Tuber is, not only is she sufficiently fluent in English, but she developed a habit early on of repeating herself, first in one language and then the other. Very smart move.
I'd like to know about Watame's Japanese accent...I'm sure she's talked about it before (don't quote me, but I'm sure she once talked about a job not working out because of it...or something like that, I couldn't quite catch what she was talking about exactly) and Marine said a couple of weeks ago that Watame sounded 'like a foreigner that spoke really good Japanese'...so I'd love to know what it is that's unusual about it.

4:32 - this is actually a very useful piece of advice if you're trying to translate from a language that has a sentence structure different than yours. Especially the part about treating a sentence like a puzzle is very clever. At the end of the day, languages generally include the same elements in sentences - nouns (those can be divided into subjects and objects at the very least), verbs, adjectives, adverbs, particles and so on. Once you identify them, it's a matter of rearranging them in the correct order. My Japanese teacher often tells us to start from the back of the sentence if we struggle to translate a Japanese sentence into Polish.
Except, as an English speaker it’s very hard to learn Japanese this way, because the subject is almost always implied. I’m kind of like Subaru in this sense - I can read basically Japanese but listening is pretty hard, especially with longer sentences. I can never figure out what the subject is so I just hear all the verbs and particles and stuff and I have to guess how they are interacting with the nouns.
@@on10n64 I'll admit, it's easier for me because in Polish the subject is usually implied as well. I imagine in case of English the trick is to switch from the subject-oriented thinking - typical for European languages - to topic-oriented thinking, which is more suitable for Japanese. Basically, instead of focusing on who/what performs the action, you switch to figuring out who/what's the main topic of the sentence.
@@anbi7418 Thats basically how it is. Unfortunately I have not yet found a reliable way to do it but I guess that’s what studying is for. The road to fluency is long and difficult.
@@on10n64 Oh my goodness, when I realise how long I've been studying English, it actually feels a bit scary xD I don't think there is anything I've spent more time in my life than studying English. Best of luck with studies ;)
@@anbi7418 Thank you! And, I’m sure you’ve already been told, but if it makes you feel any better, I would have had no idea you haven’t been speaking English your whole life if you hadn’t originally said you were Polish.
It's her sheer confidence when she speaks English that I find most endearing. It doesn't matter if she isn't grammatically correct, she BELIEVES she's correct, and speaks as if it is so, and so I believe her. 👑
She reads English starting “from the middle” because that’s sort of how Japanese grammar works. Like Korones famous “water in the fire why” she’s trying t say something like “inside of the water there is fire, why?”. Japanese people speak a little bit like Yoda from Star Wars. George Lucas took a lot of inspiration from Japan and did that to make him sound like a mysterious guru master.
Yoda's dialect was a creation of Larry Kasdan and Irvin Kershner though, and it was meant to sound like the early modern English spoken by lower medieval writers like Henry Chaucer, whose chivalric romances inspired a lot of the _Star Wars_ mythology. The only line Lucas specifically wrote for him in ESB was _Try not; do, or do not. There is no'try'."_
It was one of (if not the) first collab Kiara did, and she hadn't sat up the equalizer for her microphone properly. She had all the settings wrong for the first month after debuting
She used to get nervous while doing collabs with other jp members so sometimes she couldn't keep her bird voice, her off-collab with Matsuri is a great example
Subaru has been through so much, she embodies the fight for freedom and success, and she is a vtuber with a duck voice, that is beautiful, and inspiring. If Subaru sees this, we love you very much, best duck or swan, whichever one she chooses
Of the girls I've watched, I think Pekora, Korone, and AZkI I think will be the next to follow Haachama in being conversationally fluent in English. They seem to be able to both read and listen to English pretty well, understand it, and have enough of an understanding that they can have complete, if small-scale, conversations. Their pronunciation is also really clear (sometimes clearer than Haachama's). Then there's the next tier with Subaru, Miko, Matsuri, Marine, and Fubuki, where they can mostly understand English and know some phrases really well, but maybe can't carry a full conversation yet on any scale. Then there's Luna and Rushia, who I have heard speak English before, but I haven't seen enough of to judge their skill properly. Then there's Sora, who God bless here she's trying, but is way behind her peers despite being the very first idol in the company. Then there's Botan, who I've never heard even attempt English before, and most of the time I don't even understand her Japanese because her accent is so thick. Which sucks, because I love Botan. She's one of the chillest streamers out there. But she literally sounds like a pallas cat choking on gravel. Most of the other girls I haven't seen enough of to even try to judge.
I think Subaru's English is quite underrated. She's right below A-Chan with her English skills since she's aware of how a sentence is constructed and she can very much easily convey what she wants to say in basic, quite broken English. I remember her It Takes Two collab with Moona. They were both speaking English 90% of the time. Just shows Subaru is actually a lot more fluent than all of the girls that isn't Coco or Haato.
Subaru and Miko trying english is just great. "Duck" - "lets stop" - "okay" Both realized nothing would come of it. And Miko using her 3D model to the fullest with her hands.
How cute that Subaru doesn't just mention her own fans wanting to talk to her in other languages, but her OWN connection with wanting to support American actors despite not mastering English yet. Her relationship as Idol with her overseas fans actually mirrors her relationship with her own overseas idols.
The way Subaru looks at English is the same way I look at Japanese. Just because the sentence structure can be really confusing sometimes like: Anatta wa poteto ga suki desu あなったはポテトがすきです Literal (ish I'm still learning): You potato like is Actual: You like potato Alternatively Anatta wa poteto ga suki desuka あなったはポテトがすきですか Literal (ish): You potato like is? Actual: Do you like potato? Both sentences are exactly the same but only the end "desuka" turns the statement into a question. You like potato - a statement I have used no punctuation for but you know is a fact (that I made up) Do you like potato - I don't use a question mark here but you know it's a question So you have to tear it apart and then put it back together in your own language (at least thats how I notice I do it). If anyone does it any other ways, let me know! I would love to know an easier way :)
The end actually makes sense to me as someone learning Japanese. If something is a positive or negative statement is usually at the start of our sentences, whilst Japanese has it at the end. "I *didn't* go to the convenience store today." 「今日はコンビニを行きません」 (Today convenience store go not) I tend to accidentally skip over if it is masu or masen (Positive or negative statement) since I'm used to that information being presented immediately. (Not a LOT but definitely more than I shoud) It's definitely difficult wrapping your head around a new sentence structure. Since every time I see a comment like mine, someone asks "how do you learn?" I'll just put an addendum in advance: 1. Duolingo helps you memorize basic writing. 2. Being a weeb who plays a lot of JRPGs and watches anime will familiarise you with common vocabulary. 3. I have a playlist for learning Japanese and Chinese, I recommend binging that after the first 2 had reached diminishing results for you. 4. When you're at a high enough level, you can read stuff in Japanese (Games with JP text, shows with JP subs or straight up raw manga) to practice what you already learned.
@@morningstarlink From most to least likely: Reading -> Writing -> Listening -> Talking Obviously this isn’t always the case but, I’d say it’s true 90% of the time having lived in Japan.

@@Kniquolas nice
She actually pronounces "r" and consant clusters like "str" really well.
Japanese persons normally use “r”, though. They mix it up with “L” in English.
Japanese has a sound that is somewhere inbetween R and L in english, but not both sounds seperately. That is what makes it so hard.
@@HappyBeezerStudios Oh, interesting.
I noticed that too! That's especially impressive! I imagine that kind of thing is quite difficult for Japanese speakers to get used to doing.

Thank YOU
The way Subaru looks at English is the same way I look at Japanese. Just because the sentence structure can be really confusing sometimes like:
Anatta wa poteto ga suki desu
あなったはポテトがすきです
Literal (ish I'm still learning): You potato like is
Actual: You like potato
Alternatively
Anatta wa poteto ga suki desuka
あなったはポテトがすきですか
Literal (ish): You potato like is?
Actual: Do you like potato?
Both sentences are exactly the same but only the end "desuka" turns the statement into a question.
You like potato - a statement I have used no punctuation for but you know is a fact (that I made up)
Do you like potato - I don't use a question mark here but you know it's a question
So you have to tear it apart and then put it back together in your own language (at least thats how I notice I do it). If anyone does it any other ways, let me know! I would love to know an easier way :)
this is a pen, this is a appo. aa, 'pineapplo'
The end actually makes sense to me as someone learning Japanese.
If something is a positive or negative statement is usually at the start of our sentences, whilst Japanese has it at the end.
"I *didn't* go to the convenience store today."
「今日はコンビニを行きません」 (Today convenience store go not)
I tend to accidentally skip over if it is masu or masen (Positive or negative statement) since I'm used to that information being presented immediately. (Not a LOT but definitely more than I shoud)
It's definitely difficult wrapping your head around a new sentence structure.
Since every time I see a comment like mine, someone asks "how do you learn?" I'll just put an addendum in advance:
1. Duolingo helps you memorize basic writing.
2. Being a weeb who plays a lot of JRPGs and watches anime will familiarise you with common vocabulary.
3. I have a playlist for learning Japanese and Chinese, I recommend binging that after the first 2 had reached diminishing results for you.
4. When you're at a high enough level, you can read stuff in Japanese (Games with JP text, shows with JP subs or straight up raw manga) to practice what you already learned.
