I have some questions:
1) I didn't understand what is the diagram of ya yu yo + the consonants called.
2) Why can ya yu yo be nest to only consonants with the vowel "i"?
Hope to have your answer soon. Thank you!
XOXO Law
P.S. Big fan, love your work
Who else is trying to learn Japanese through English, but English is your second language?
Italian here 😊
I am 😅
I'm an Indian
Trying my best after Turkish and English. But here's an advantage: Japanese is similar to Turkish, because it's an agglutinative
language just like Turkish.
Im Hungarian... And so far it's easier then English for me
I am Japanese but I think Japanese is difficult.
Everyone, please do your best to study Japanese. I will do my best to study English
ganbarimasu :)
thanks hope it goes well for you too
thanks dude and do your best
Arigato homie i just finished learning hiragana and now onto katakana

Spotted a few mistakes including cooking (Ryouri not Ryoui) and Japanese yen (En not Un)
What’s my reason for learning a language?
1. Anime with no subtitles
2. When people attempt to talk to me I can pretend to not speak English
lol
Duuuude same here except for the english
I curse people secretly🙊
I want to do that:3
JeninTheTurtle I’m going definitely going’s to do this to my siblings. Except I’m not giving them anymore heads up about it. When I get good enough at 日本語, I’m just going to start speaking it all of a sudden and blow their minds.
everyone just stop for a second and appreciate that this is free, ok?
True. Thats so good.
Grateful!! Thanks for the reminder 🙏
I am very grateful. 💗

Honto honto this is a great opportunity as well to learn Japanese.
This is the first Japanese lesson I've ever watched and I'm so excited to finally learn Japanese.
I'll try to update on how my Japanese is going every few months, I'm really determined to learn this language :)
Edit #1: 07/24/23: I just learned all kana and I can now read any non-kanji text moderately quickly. I also just learned how weird Japanese grammar is and the existence of different vocabulary depending on how close you are to someone... This journey's gonna be tougher than I thought, but I won't let that discourage me, and it shouldn't discourage you, either 😁
Edit #2: 08/21/23: I just entirely filled my first Japanese notebook, and I also finished mastering writing the language!! (meaning I know when to use っ and 濁点/半濁点, when to use kun'yomi and on'yomi, all katakana combinations, how to read and write very large numbers, how to read and write dates and time, I could go on. I just meant to say that I didn't master the language, just the "read and write" aspects, sorry if that sounded pretentious lol), and now I'll start learning the grammar, which I'm *hyped* for.
I'll also write down my thoughts:
1) I'm very surprised by how much I was able to learn in just under a month!
2) I have to say, I'm very scared of going back to school, because not only will I have way less time, I don't know if I'll have the mental energy to keep studying after I've been studying all day, but I'll do my best and study hard while I can!! 😁
Edit #3: 26/08/23: I'm updating very quickly after the second edit, but I know I need to say it; I'm gonna be changing my method for learning Japanese. All I used to do was just some traditional studying for about 1-2 hours a day, and sure, I was making progress, but there's no way I was gonna reach my goal within 2 years. So I'm gonna change to this plan:
-Studying kanji from the Kanji Study app everyday by following the JLPT program
-Reviewing what I know with Tango's N5 Anki Flashcards Deck
-Traditional study from a PDF of Genki I textbook/Watching a Tokini Andy video (Whatever will feel more instructive)
-And most importantly, consuming *ONLY* Japanese content. Watching Japanese videos, reading Japanese comments, attempting to reply in Japanese, and maybe reading a few Japanese books every once in a while to use Japanese as much as I can. I know it will work for me because that's how I learned English practically by accident, by simply consuming a lot of English media without actually ever trying to learn the language.
I will mention though, that I am very scared of the different levels of politeness in the language. Japanese speakers will obviously use different levels depending on the situation, so I'll get a lot of mixed signals. But it's definitely gonna be way better than before.
I'll keep you guys notified for anything that happens!! 😁
Edit #4: 30/09/23: Going back to school isn't nearly as time consuming as I thought it would be, of course I don't have nearly as much time to study as before but I still do meet my daily goal of 1 hour and 30 minutes per day of study, bare minimum. I should also mention that immersing as early as I did is a bad idea as it's very time consuming and exhausting to do anything because, well, you have to understand what you're seeing/hearing, and at a beginner level, you don't understand ANYTHING, so you don't end up retaining much. Instead, I spend *all of my free time* (carefully) watching GameGengo's vocab series, which is not the most common or even best way of getting input, but it's the only way I enjoy getting input, which does make it the best way for me because it's much easier studying when you enjoy it than not, and I already learned quite a bit from him. When I finish his series though, I think I'll just get input by watching Japanese TV Shows/playing video games in Japanese. I'll keep you guys updated!
Edit #5: 15/11/23: I'm done with N5 material, which marks my first milestone! I'm so excited to study N4 Japanese!
I've been loving studying Japanese, even more than when I started. In fact, I loved it so much that I even considered making a career out of it at one point (I would still love to, but it's unfortunately not a promising career choice because of AI, and it would require me to actually *live* in Japan for a few years, which I really don't want to do)
I'm gonna try to study for a job that I enjoy thoroughly, but that also gives me enough time and money to visit Japan during the summer. Law school certainly doesn't lead to a job like that for me, so I'll have to reconsider my options (which means I don't have the pressure of having to be as good as possible before I go to law school!)
I wish I could update you guys more often, but since I don't have unlimited characters, I think I'll start editing every time I pass a JLPT level.
Edit #6: 17/01/24: I'm done with N4 material, and that means I'm gonna immerse myself in Japanese! That has been my plan since I've been studying for N5, but I'm kind of scared to find out how it will go now that I actually have to do it 😅. My reading speed has also drastically improved, I can read any text much more comfortably than I first started (as long as it doesn't have too many kanji that I don't know), but I'm still far from native level haha.
As for you guys, I responded to most of your recent questions (I'm sorry for leaving you guys hanging!!), and I've also included my daily study plan which should be the 60th reply of this comment :)

I love how she teaches using visualization things. It really helps me a lot to remember all these hiragana words
I made up my own visualization for example ka as in karate and then I thought of the strong arm of the character so each symbol I thought of a Japanese word that was easy so I learned a simple Japanese word for each character at the same time
But it did take me some time to think of these words and visualization so not everybody will want to do that.
Yep

Progress report : Took me 20 days to complete this now i know every hiragana and can read basics without any trouble , planning to read more hiragana to understand words.
Started at 10th june 2023
Ended at 24th june 2023 (took 4 days of break in between)
Hiragana done, Onto katakana
5th january 2024 update?
@@BluJellu unfortunately I didn't get to continue I started katakana but my college started as well and i have taken French and it's really confusing learning Two languages at once so I focused on french for my grades
Why i want to know Japanese:
-Anime
-Flex knowing 3 idioms
-Also flex in front of my family
-To know more people
-To feel smarter somehow
-To play that one mobile game that is only in Japanese
I think I know what game u talking about lmao I’ve seen its ad like 50 times and I would love to play it but ofc it’s only in Japanese ;(
Leyyree which game is it?
lucid _ I don’t know the game cause it’s in Japanese (katakana)
Ooh, that's literally me with Twisted Wonderland 😭
Meanwhile I'm trying to learn so I can read a Light Novel because it will take years for them to translate them otherwise
Dont worry Anime...I'm coming...no subtitles...
hopefully one day all this hard work and you can then finally watch 1080p fullscreen anime!
I'm already good enough without subtitles. But technical stuff and other complex sentences is still no good
Learning to speak japanese is easy, writing the shit with 3 alphabets is damn impossible, it would be easier to learn hebrew or arabic
@Brock Lesnar Alpha Male I hope you're trolling or you really think anime is really for kids? And it's more incredible than fucked up, to a person learn a language with so little gain or passion for the language itself.

Took me 4 days of grinding .. but I finally learnt the whole hiragana 🎉
About 4 hours each day
4 day!? I’m going on like 4 weeks lol
@@omgnoi remembering the symbols wasnt hard .. the pronunciation took most of the time .. although I still feel I have some of them wrong still. Lol
So in other words :
Hiragana : basic alphabet and sounds exactly the same
Katakana : Use for foreign words
Kanji : SSS tier difficulty words with infinity meaning
X+ difficulty where there are thousands of characters each with a different meaning and an average of 3 years to master
Most Japanese people dont even know all of em💀 how do you want me (A trilingual person excluding Japanese cuz I cant speak it yet) to learn all that Kanji shit and not forget the other 3 languages😐 IMPOSSIBLE PERIODT
I learned chinese from kindergarten or first grade all the way to sixth grade. I only know a few. The rest forgotten. Reduced to ashes
@cotton candy Nah it can be even more confusing since they share the same characters but different sounds and meaning. E.g 先生 means Mister (Mr.) or Sir. in Mandarin but Teacher in Japanese. The easiest way of learning Japanese from another language is if you learned 注音(ZhuYin), a method of writing a character via formation other than writing (strokes), 部首(BuShou) which uses the "category" of a set of characters to find the right one or 拼音(PinYin) which uses the sound to find the character. It is a common method of typing or reading used in Taiwan. Japanese is derived from Mandarin so it is easier but as long as you do not use existing knowledge, it is at most, A- tier difficulty. Hiragana and Katakana are parts that Mandarin does not have, making Mandarin the only system that has sounds which presents 10 to 100+ characters each.
Help I decided to start learning Japanese while I'm learning Spanish, Latin and Mandarin in school. Why do I do this to myself?
Anyone else learning Japanese because they have nothing to do cuz of self isolation....
meey
literally me, but then you get made fun of by you're parents T~T

I have learned so much from just 13 minutes into the video, 13 min has been 1 hour of me writing and studying. I will continue watching but I am thankful for this video. I’m so excited to learn💙
One important thing I wanna point out is う is mostly used as an extended/long sound of the character before, we do not pronounce them!
for example: とうきょう (Tokyo)
う (u) is not pronounced at all, it stretches the sound of と (to) and きょ (kyo).
In katakana, we use "ー" as the long sound symbal. Hope it helps yall if you got confused by the う sound in some words like me.
That helped a lot. Makes a lot more sense now!
Thanks!
ありがとう ございます

thank you so much! this has taught me more than what duolingo has for the past few months… this version is much easier to understand and it has improved my reading skill greatly!
I am Indian and hiragana matches with( varnamala) hindi alphabet when you pronounce them. This makes me 10 times easier to learn and relate. 🎉
How much time it takes to learn? How are u doing and from where?
Can you specify how those two alphabets match? What you say sounds interesting.
@@HansDunkelberg1 Well actually.... The letter あ and आ has the same pronunciation. And the क with an आ ( का ) is almost the same pronunciation as か and there r a LOT OF syllables that r literally the same or almost the same pronunciation
@@gsjgdkgdhksgas a tamilian, hindi was soooo easy to learn because it has basically the same letter structure as tamil. You have your vowels and your consonants and then you have combinations of them. And now with Japanese the grammar is quite similar to tamil for me and the sounds are similar as well. Very epic.
@@Wishtelle tbh the Japanese hiragana and katakana were easy to learn. I mastered them in 2 days. But the grammar and kanji and vocabulary is sooo hard. Well I'm progressing quite well on vocabulary because of Anki but the grammar and kanji is really hard 😭😭😭

Pen and paper helps a lot,I'll just write everything over and over for like an hour and it's been helping me recognize the symbols easier,as well as some "muscle memory". Phonetics is a different story.
Ya it’s been a month now and I’ve mostly gotten the vowels down. Sorta kicking myself I waited till now to start learning. Have always had an interest in Japan (no not cause of anime). And have wanted to visit. Guess as a kid that seemed unattainable so I never bothered to learn. But now as an adult it’s doable. And I’m a believer in if you go somewhere you should at the very least know enough of the language of where you’re going to be able to communicate at a basic level.
Edit:
First week was rough, but then bought a note book and started writing the symbols and the pronunciation.
I finished both lesson 1 and 2 in a day 🤷
@@faina_yevheniia omg
I tried learning hiragana from duolingo, and although I managed to learn most of them, I missed some explanation on why they are the way they are, like the logic behind them. This video helped me a lot to complement my studies. Much love from Brazil ❤

I literally can not believe how much easier learning these is once you compare them to something kinda silly to remember them! That was one of my study tactics in college to help me and it always helps me learn so much faster! Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Why I want to learn Japanese:
-watch anime without eng subtitles
-impress people I know
-read mangas in Japanese
-go to Japan so I can communicate to people and go to anime places :D
Same :)
Hi5 but i have way more reasons 😂😂
Mine are
-watch anime without subtitles
-impress people
-read Japanese stuff in anime
- prepare for my isekai harem
So nooow we won't have to wait for Manga to be translated, we can get them bad boys right when they come out
Litteraly everyone lol
Risa: try this long word
Me: いいえ
Lmao I love this 😂
Xdd
hahahhaha
Severly underated
lol
Hahaha I remember watching this vid and learning hiragana for the first time 9 months ago, and now I enrolled for the N3 exam, I understand most anime and japanese vlogs, I read kanji and I laugh when I remember I used to struggle trying to read one hiragana, guys please continue pushing yourselves it is only hard in the beginning
Update jan 2024 : I PASSED THE N3 within one year, and I am taking the N2 next July :))
9 months?! You either have an incredible mind or you studied very hard, either way congrats, I hope to be in your spot one day :)
well idk if its my mind but Japanese is the 4th language that I learn so I give the credit to the experience, I just knew the best approach to learn languages, learn the basic grammar then immediately consume native content, do not waste most of the studying time on textbooks and boring stuff, yes its important to study grammar to understand what you are consuming, however most of your time should be listening and enjoying the language, and trust me when you just finish the beginner stage it becomes easier to continue @@dot2184
Amazing video, this is my very first attempt to learn Japanese and I'm honestly amazed how quickly I remembered the alphabet! It's when she started putting the characters together that threw me off. Definitely need to rewatch this a few times.
LOOK ANIME! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME
I blame Black Clover for me embarking on this endeavour. It's finally pushed me over the edge.
That's the reason we're here😆
Dude I feel ya when you understand Japanese but can't write lol
😂😂
I blame that one guy who spoke Japanese in an entire vid.
He’s so cool.
“You now have mastered the 5 first characters”
Lesson two begins....
Wait what was it again?
i feel you brother
I created flash cards for all the characters
It helps
A toooon also if you just read them in random words or just recognize them they become easy to know at just a glance
Man I thought I was the only one!
I have Japanese classes in school and it’s so difficult so I started using UA-cam to help me study cuz I don’t want to fail lol.
"mastered"
haha...
XecuteEledrocute * same pfft
Ah man finally finished watching the Hiragana video. Took a little while to grasp the concept of writing but now I'm fairly confident in my ability to write as well as speaking/reading characters. Seriously, thanks for making this.
Hey Flyback, great job! I also have some killer Hiragana lessons and all sorts of fun Japanese for beginners on my channel too! Would love to have you in the Udon Classroom! Come pop by sometime!

Haha, so true
LMAO... Me too🤣🤣🤣

I appreciate ! that you show all the different writings for each hiragana
Hiragana is the friendly elder that guides you on your mission, katakana is like your first easy boss, and then kanji is that final boss that you can never defeat.

I'm gonna pass this game damn it!

Real life "Dark soul"
How to learn Japanese as a fluent mandarin speaker:
1: guess the meaning of the word
2: w r o n g
Some of them are pretty similar! Like the words for "sun"
@@mowsea Haha yeah they are! Even though it's confusing, I'm glad I know how to write simplified Chinese, because while not all of the words are the same it's much easier to guess the context because they have similar/same meanings! :D
Thank you for making this very informative video. I found learning Hiragana from you, Risa-sensei, extremely easy and fun at the same time. Thank you and I look forward to all the other Japanese lessons you put out
My reasons for learning:
1. One language is limiting
2. I listen to Japanese music
3. I watch anime
4. I want to suffer 😭
I love Pokémon so that’s why I’m learning it
And I also want to go to Japan
Same i love anime and anime song and i wanna learn another language.

“I just learned all 26 letters of the alphabet. Now I can read and write English”
“Great job! Have some ice cream as a reward!”
“Yay!!!”
In Japan:

“Hold up, you still got katakana and the basic 2,500 kanji.”

This is the best explanation I have had. I have learned more from this than I did from a week on my own with the apps.
when she said she's gonna give me time in answering..
time: 0.1 seconds
my brain processing time: 30 seconds
Brain transplant time!
Yejin Unicorn It takes time but if you keep memorizing it and identifying it. Your brain will be able to process it at a faster pace. The reason for the brain that’s processing slowly, is because it lacks experience. So that’s why it’s adapting in learning.
@Zilo Lewis LOL Cheater :D
true i need to pause it haha
literally me, i had to start pausing it to process lol
I can finally read hiragana. Yay!
Now I just need to understand what I'm saying.

Thank you very much for this video. I just started to learn Japanese. I always wanted to have a conversation in that language. This is a wonderful introduction to my new target.
This is a very information - packed video! I'm halfway through the video, and it's taken me 3 days to get here. I'm kind of excited already, because I can look at a Japanese keyboard or writing and I actually recognize symbols and can put sounds to them. This is going to be a tough but interesting journey!
I like that she teaches easier ways to remember the character. Unlike duolingo
@@MelDX Agree that's what I do too ^-^
I use Busuu to me its alot better and more effective than duolingo

@@ayooochill8889 Another Busuu user!
Not to mention duo lingo makes you use hearts like a stupid ass mobile games

-impress my friends/family
-be able to read manga before translated
-I think the language sounds really cool
-go to Japan
-sing the song “summertime” without it sounding like gibberish
-and to suffer throughout my learning

SO! I am so happy. A little over 100 days ago I decided to try to learn Japanese. I first watched this video and was like what? But watching this now, I'm shook at how much I've learned. I make sure to practice a little everyday even if for just a few minutes. It's really trippy to me. I can read/write Korean - so it's like that. Just seeing characters and being able to read them literally feels like unlocking a power. Anyone reading this: KEEP GOING! ~
Thanks man❤️
So inspirational, after mastering Japanese, Balinese is next and then Korean.
@@wheresthetreasurechamber760 if you learned japanese korean will be even easier, less letters and the writing is easy. GOOD luck
thanks for inspiration
thank you so much for the motivation!!!
Amazing video. Can't believe this is free. i don't think learning Japanese like this gets any easier or better. Thanks a lot!
I started learning Japanese, and this is the best video I've seen! Thank you!
i finally learned hiragana after 3 days, no one cares but im happy
Congrats dude. I learned hiragana in 1 day 15ish hrs and I think im gonna rest my brain for a couple of days before tackling Katakana. I better get ready coz' after Katakana the nightmare starts...Kanji and it's 2100+ characters
This makes me feel extremely stupid
A Milanie don't feel stupid, it's just easier for some of us. don't worry you will learn them, it might just take you a little longer
I learned it now I just feel stupid about katakana thanks though
I care you gave me hope that I can learn to thanks dude
Man the comment section made me motivated. Good luck guys!!
And? Did you learn hiragana?
