    I am only 18 minutes in, and I feel so much more at ease with the idea of learning Japanese now. I have been wanting to learn for years (I am 38 now) but it’s always felt so incredibly overwhelming. 18 minutes in, and I love how clear you are in your guidance and explanations. It feels much, much less overwhelming, and the idea that it is just object first and verb second, can make a structurally sound conversation, it feels very much a relief.

    Tips to learn Japanese more efficiently:
    - Trying to learn multiple languages at once may be risky, especially if they are orthographically similar, since it may be difficult to differentiate which word belongs to which language. However, it doesn't hurt to try to conciliate both. If in doubt, learn the one that you're most interested in.
    - INTENSITY ≠ EFFICACY. Avoid studying too intensely for prolonged amounts of time. Your brain is built to gradually (not instantaneously!) learn new things.
    - CONSISTENCY. A fastened learning process has scheduling. However, don't take this too seriously, since there are days when learning languages is not suitable.
    - REST. Your brain cells use electrical connections to bring data (knowledge, memories, processes) and apply them to do whatever you are doing right now. The process of learning consists of creating new connections. New connections are created when you SLEEP, which allows your brain to aggregate what you learned throughout the day. Sleep plentifully. This won't just be helpful in your leaning journey, but will also have positive effects in your body and mood.
    - Repeat every letter/word/sentence out loud to get a closer pronunciation (tip from Duolingo).
    - Use headphones to get used to the language sounds quicker (tip from Duolingo).
    - Avoid trying to learn everything at one sitting to prevent yourself from forgetting words.
    - Following kana/kanji stroke orders are ideal to make your calligraphy look more aesthetically pleasing. However, don't feel too pressured to memorize everything.
    - If you feel unmotivated and/or tired, take a break and proceed your learning after a while and remember: you can do it! I highly believe that you *will* succeed!
    - Watch Japanese cartoons and comics and practice singing in Japanese. They will help you to increase your vocabulary.
    - Try not to skip the difficult parts of learning. They may be essential.
    - Get yourself a partner conversation from the beginning.
    - Use your Japanese knowledge in daily occasions (Example: whenever you're going upstairs, count every step in Japanese).
    - After finishing your studying session, make a "diary", by writing out everything you have learned so far, physically (pencil and paper) or virtually (note pad app on phone/computer) (tip from Duolingo).
    - Keep watching this video as many times as possible for days or weeks. It is not possible to learn everything in a few moments.
    - FAILURE IS NATURAL. You are a human. Humans are designed to learn by failing, since 100% of them have failed at something at some point in their lives. Blaming oneself for failing is a burden NO ONE has to carry. Besides, how many "successes" would cease to exist, if it wasn't for the "failures"?
    *You have a potential, waiting to be unleashed! It might not be easy, but most of all, have fun while learning! Now, I wish you, the reader, a very happy learning, and give it your all! がんばってください!* 💪✌️

    here are some of my tips!!
    • listen for a few days or weeks, you cannot learn a whole new language in 4 hours, especially japanese
    • try repeating these words, sounds, sentences to yourself DAILY doing something random
    • STUDY!! i know it's boring for some, but in the end it will be worth it (plus you'll feel smart, trust me)
    • listen to Japanese podcasts, songs, tv shows, ect. to get the sounds down
    • watch anime (with Japanese audio of course) this helps get the talking part down and you can find new shows !!

As a Japanese living in the states currently, I always find myself having hard time explaining the basic of Japanese to English speakers including my girlfriend. This video really nailed every single important steps to understand Japanese from scratch. My girlfriend couldn’t pronounce らりるれろ ra ri ru re ro at first, but now she can pronounce it without any issue. To those who started studying Japanese, I’d like to thank you all as one Japanese ! It’s only used in Japan and definitely is not widely used language in the world, but it’s truly interesting language and there’re so many ways to describe things that you can’t English like I studied English and came to the states, I learnt so many things that could never be seen and described in Japan and Japanese language. Learning new languages literally broadens your horizon :) I hope you guys will come visit Japan and have an amazing experience talking to people out there and all!

    Japanese seems much easier as a Hindi, Bengali and Assamese speaker. I could find more similarities between Japanese and my native languages than I could find trying to connect English with Japanese. It must be tougher to for English speakers 😅 when I translated the Japanese sentences in Bengali, I instantly understood how to construct a sentence.

      When Japanese learn american English, the first phrase they learn is "hey, a--h-le"
      To ask if you need to pay at the register or at the table, "hello? can I get some service over here. Ain't got all day." Or, you can just say "ain't got all day" as the waiter passes by.
      To get by or respond to a bump, "what's your problem, d--khead?" Any variation of "d--khead, a--h-le," etc is allowed and encouraged.
      When there is a slight disagreement, "awe, hell no." Or "you trippin'"

      @@thatbrownweeb1132 it can be said that monolinguals, bilinguals, trilingual and multilinguals all know the same number of words. It's like:
      Let n be the number of languages you know,
      And x be the total number of words you know.
      For monolinguals, their vocabulary consists of n words
      For bilinguals, the vocabulary in one language is n/x= n/2
      And since they know 2 languages they have same vocabulary as monolinguals.
      And so on...
      This is what I don't like I'm multilingualism. My relatives and friends who know less languages (everyone knows at least two languages where I live) know so many more words in their respective languages than me in mine. I want to forget one language.

      I am currently teaching Japanese if you are interested. The first 10 people to be enrolled don’t have to pay any fee for their lessons, everyone else must pay £2 per lesson. Cheap, right? I don’t care about the money I make, I care about helping other people learn their passion even if it’s without my help. I currently have nobody interested so if anyone would like to learn Japanese, you should tell me, only 10 can study for free! I can teach you the alphabets, and essential phrases you need in real life convos, etc! JapanesePod101 is one of the main reasons I chose to teach, they inspire me. If you would like to learn Japanese with my help, check out my first video for more information.

      so what, you can still learn foreign languages, doesnt mean you have to write or speak them perfectly. Thats why the education sucks so much, of course they need to look at the mistakes you made because thats the only way how they can give you a grade.. but it doesnt mean that you are bad at it. Hell, you can write a book and have tons of mistakes in it, when the story is good they just let the editor fix your mistakes. Our education system sucks.

    *Why should you learn Japanese*
    My logic: *to be able to understand anime and manga, to be able to say whatever you want in front of your family or friends who don't know JP, to be able to write a diary so that none can understand*
    Edit: My actual reason i to master this unique and ancient language and learn the cultural terms of the japanese society. Its not just about anime or secret diaries. I just wanted to be a bit sarcastic.

I kept wishing to restart from the beginning of Japanese school (kindergarten), but the only option was quitting, or continuing. The only person in my family who speaks Japanese everyday is my grandma. My grandma is pretty old, and I feel bad that I can’t understand her, and she can’t understand me. So, I made it my goal to learn Japanese before she passes away.

    As someone who has lived in Japan and studied Japanese to limited extent, I found speaking in and listening to Japanese is significantly easier than reading and writing in Japanese. Hiragana and Katakana take a little time to get used to, but it is Kanji that really frustrated things for me. To help tune your hearing, try watching Japanese films, TV and sports, especially if it has subtitles - but focus on what you hear. It helps tune your ear to the sentence structure, and you might even spot some differences between what was said and the subtitle translations...

      Even still. Though it may not make me as fluent as a Japanese child. There are still several words that I have just memorised after hearing it for more than two years in anime. Not saying I can hold a proper conversation. But it’s because of anime that I actually knew a lot of the stuff the video was going on about in the beginning. So saying “not even by a little bit” in itself seems Inaccurate.

    I've spent years trying to learn Spanish since I figured it would be the most useful second language for me living in the U.S.. I've had an interest in Japanese culture ever since I discovered anime and manga. It motivated me to read some Japanese history and that made me even more interested in the culture. So I figure now is as good a time as any to work on learning the Japanese language. Liked and subscribed. : ) Thanks for the video! Domo Arigato! : )
