✨ABOUT ME✨
I recently quit my job as a corporate lawyer to be a writer, content creator and coach. I live in Fukuoka, Japan, with my husband nicknamed 'Tanuki' and we love spending chill days between our home and exploring the country :) I have been sharing about my japanese language learning journey since 2019 on Instagram @ari_noyume 💌 I now study japanese at advanced level, mandarin chinese at beginner level, and russian at beginner level :)
I have been offering time management and language self-study coaching online since 2021.

I really love this kind of videos, it helps me to start reading in Chinese and it's really motivating ! It was much easier to begin with English, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian as I'm French ! I started with the first book of Harry Potter in each of these languages but for Chinese I'm beginning with The Little Prince as it's recommended for the level I have (HSK4). I remember when I started reading in English I wanted to read fantasy or sci-fi books as it's what I read the most in French so after the 3 first books of Harry Potter I randomly picked up The Bear and the Nightingale and it was so hard lmao I took like 4 or 5 months to read it because the vocabulary is so hard, it's a fantasy using russian myths, so I didn't know well the mythology behind it, there was a lot of russian words and the vocabulary about nature, plants and animals was so specific (there were whole paragraphs I couldn't understand lmao) when I told that to my friends they said that I was crazy but I really liked what I read and don't regret it even though it has been a bit painful 😂
The Bear and the Nightingale is also on my list!! 😍😍😍 and I support you on your great language learning journey you rock 😎
The way you talk about reading in a new language and your love for some of these stories - I've never related to something more 🥹 I learned English through reading just like you did and Harry Potter was a big part of that journey for me as well so I think during next readwithko challenge I'll be reading Harry Potter in Japanese 😂 Your journey is so inspiring because instead of settling for less exciting reads "at your level" you went for what spoke to you personally and it brought you where you are now. This is the mindset I want to cultivate more from now on ☺️
I think I’m so passionate about reading in general that when I find something good I’m sort of ignited from within lol 😂 I can’t help it!! Thank you always for your thoughtful comments and I support you for your HP reading challenge 😎😎😎
Wonderful video, thank you!! And very useful because I'm a fellow history nerd 🤓 (Even studied history at the university) I can't wait to reach a level where I can read about history in Japanese.
I think reading in Japanese gives a bonus benefit too: you can have such beautiful looking books!! I just really love how tastefully most of the Japanese books are made.
I agree with every single thing you said and I salute you too, fellow history nerd 🤓 although your level there seems to be much higher than mine, I’m only amateur 🥹🥹 thank you for your comment I appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have a few of the green books on my TBR as well so it was super helpful to hear your experience on how hard or easy they were to read. Gonna start with 星の王子さま soon (but the blue version) 😊
🥹🥹🥹 ohhh I’m so glad to hear this thank you for your feedback it’s always appreciated!!!
Je suis super contente d'être tombée sur ta vidéo, merci pour tes conseils ❤
🥹🥹🥹🥹 ça me fait trop plaisir merci infiniment
Thank you so much for your examples! I’ve started looking for the green series of books thanks to you. I am half way through one now, and have never felt so motivated! It’s such a relief to move on from graded readers ❤. Finally reading interesting things has made my N3 study way more exciting too! Thank you again for all that you do!!
Omg your comment made my day 🥹🥹🥹 I’m supporting you all the way in your reading journey you can do this!!! Which book did you choose??? 😍
@@arinoyume It is called 今泉先生のゆかいな動物日記. One of my special interests is natural history and biology. So I want to learn as many nature terms as possible, and maybe words regarding the scientific method. This is several short stories about a zoologist’s interactions with some animals in the field and it is a lot of fun! I am having to look up so many new words though 😅 so reading is verrrrry slow. I want to try reading fiction next!
I’ve never heard of this book but it sounds amazing! 🤩 it must contain quite specific vocabulary which might be the reason why you take more time to read it but you can do it I believe in you!
Je me souviens à l’époque de tes achievment, et de la vitesse à laquelle tu accomplissais tes objectifs ! C’était fou ! ❤
J’étais vraiment deter de ouf maintenant que j’y repense 😅😅 et aussi, merci de m’avoir recommandé le bouquin おおかみこどもの雨と雪 ! C’est grâce à toi que je l’ai lu celui-là ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@arinoyume ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This series is so helpful! Thank you for making it! I started reading my first Japanese novel, また、同じ夢を見ていた, a month ago and while it’s been difficult it’s been super rewarding. Your videos motivate me to keep going 😊
I also intend on reading this novel!! And thank you for your lovely comment ☺️☺️☺️
I have the books I WANT to be able to read and books I need to read on my level. I usually fall back on topics that interest me and that I know.
For English I picked up Harry Potter because I was annoyed of waiting for the German translation. Hence why I also picked up the French Harry Potter and felt gooood about it. I thought I can so the same for Japanese but got humbled pretty fast 😅
I got books from Japanese elementary school level qherre various topics are covered to learn vocab and variety
That’s a great way to go about it I support you!!
Hi! I love watching your videos. They're always really motivating and give lots of great, practical advice. And even though I'm not learning Japanese, my main goal of language learning (or my main motivation, I should say) is to read books too! But I was wondering how (or if) you tend to study the new vocabulary you come across when you read? Do you add them to a flashcard deck or do you treat it entirely as extensive reading and hope enough exposure will eventually make it stick? (Sorry if you have already explained this elsewhere and I missed it).
Haven't explained this yet and I need to do it soon because I received this question so many times now! Thank you for watching, your support and your kind words, it means a lot
Ари, спасибо за ваши вдохновляющие видео! Всегда очень интересно их смотреть.
Вы не хотели бы рассказать о том, как вы учите слова? Я помню, что вы использовали книги по словарному запасу, что вы выписывали лексику из читаемой книги. Но как именно вы прорабатывает эти слова? Используете ли интервальное повторение?
Многие изучающие язык рекомендуют составлять фразы с новыми словами или стараться сразу употреблять эти слова в своей языковой активности.
Делаете ли вы так же?
I can’t yet answer you in Russian but yes! I have actually just produced a new video about my vocab acquisition process in Japanese and it will come out very soon on my channel 😍
@@arinoyume Большое спасибо!)
❤ bravo🎉
Thank you for the video! You mentioned before that the green books have furigana included, what do other colors of books represent or include?
Thank you for watching and commenting! That helps me a lot!!! Regarding the different book collections, I am currently preparing a whole video guide about them, which will go up on my channel next month! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎊
Hello Ari no Yume! I love your videos and since I have discovered your channel I keep watching them. Now I have just seen that you have started a reading book series which is wonderful. But to make my question short, I wanted you to ask whether you know the book „窓のドットちゃん“? I am beginning to start reading books and as it is a children’s book it has Furigana which is very helpful. But as it has more than three hundred pages I’m not quite sure if I should go on this journey. I really appreciate your opinion about it if you know the book or if you can give me any recommendation for it.
Hello!!! No I don’t know this book, however I can tell you that however long it is, if it has furigana and you are intent on reading it then go for it! And don’t stop until you’ve reached the end!!
I started off reading manga because it was less of a time commitment, but when I tried to transition to children's books/novels it was a struggle. I get really overwhelmed with the size of japanese books and it takes me at minimum 3 months to finish one. The main problem isn't even that I don't understand what I'm reading and have to pause every page, it's more just a lack of motivation and really slow progress. If you maybe had a similar problem, how did you get over it?
Thank you very much for your question, I’ll have a think about the most useful answer I could give here because motivation was not a problem for me! thanks again and stay tuned, I’ll definitely answer soon in a future video 🙌🏻
Hey, I'm currently going through my reading journey. I did buy the physical tadoku books (L2-4) because they are smaller and built on each other in terms of vocabulary. They also have furigana on all the kanji. I tried to do an SRS system for them but it quickly turned into two hours some days so my goal now is to get through a level and revisit them as I start a book from another level, like partners.
I always read them aloud the first time and as much as I can after. Usually, the first time is about half an hour each. I didn't look anything up for the first run through. By reading aloud, it slowed me down so I would recognize each character and not get frustrated over not reading as fast as I do in English. L2 was right where I didn't miss much and I even cried real hard at one story in particular because I understood the tragedy coming. But, for example, L2 has monks come up in three of the books so I learned the words for two of their levels of seniority. Or three books in the first set of five have the word for stick.
The furigana has been a problem on words I do know because my eyes dart over there. However, revisiting the books at the beginning after the third time has been fast enough I have noticed I pass them. The website does have free books. But I would say short story bilingual volumes would work as well; my library has a couple of them in many languages and they are made to be short for students. (Though their estimate of time is usually after many visits.) If there is a word you are stuck on, you can write the furigana on the first two times it ckmes up and try to recall from there.
If I am having a rough day, I read an older one because it will be faster. But the goal is two a day. I plan on hitting up the bilingual readers next and I do have a few children books that have a smattering of kanji. I bought them (and "goal" books beyond my level at the moment) on Neokyo. They let you shop Japanese marketplaces and they will store your purchases for 45 days from their arrival to their facility so you can build up a package that's a bigger size worth sending. Just check the import tax laws in your country. The USA is rather lenient while Canada has a 20 CAD limit per package before tax (I think.)
I can't read even manga yet, but at least for English and French, changing the book to a story that absorbs me in helps with the motivation and has bumped my reading levels up as sometimes they were beyond my current level.
So finding a book that really speaks to you, where the difficulty and amount of time it'll take don't even matter because you just want to know what comes next, helps keep you motivated to keep on reading.
