Thank you Mr Super Japanese Accent man for letting me re-live the worst self introduction in human history. I'm flattered by your kind words - although it's no secret my pronunciation is far from good. Something for me to work on in the New Year!
@@KyokujiFGC I find it difficult already to compare native people who speaks better Japanese. As basing it from unpopular words that aren’t used in daily activities aren’t that very much great of a meter to base someones linguistics on.
@@w1z4rd9 He's not a native speaker,though. While his mom is Japanese, his own understanding and knowledge began as self taught and then academic courses played a part in it. He also took an exam ( honestly can't remember the name,I'm sorry) that grades his speaking/reading/kanji comprehension and he got the highest grade,which most natives wouldn't get.
@@birb8673 It's because English requires you to speak with more gruffness. For example, when I'm speaking Cajun French, my voice rises by a lot of octaves to make that lovely sounds that people love so much lol, but my voice is unnaturally deep in English. It doesn't make any sense how I could be normal in one language but abnormal in the other because of the octave needed to speak the language.
TheUmbrellaCorpX7[エヴ] I don't think bastardizing your language with loan words leads to good things, in regards to the language maintaining its identity/soul. Trust me, I experienced mine become more and more dull as time went on and some dubbed high profile tv shows often display something that is hardly grammatically correct or properly phrased dialogue as it was back in the day, and it's affecting everyday speech and news stations as well, with people genuinely believing that using loan words or figures of speech makes them look smart. I love Japanese, and it's be sad to see it devolve through this slippery slope.
@@zummone My opinion exactly. But I think he means that to sound just as one of the locals in this very moment people have to use many loanwords. If not they sound as he says as if from at least ten years ago. Though I have no problem with that. I myself sound like that in my native language too because I don't use very many loans.
I wish I could say I was trilingual... my english is definitely strong (native speaker), meanwhile i can speak chinese (cantonese, also native) comfortably in daily conversation but I may miss some references that fullblood cantonese kids get. And then I have mandarin which is dumpster fire.
He's like wielding a double-edged sword when he said that. It hit himself and me. I use English almost every time, all the time when I am alone; but because I have no actual person to practice my speech and conversational skills, I have no means to use it properly except by talking to myself. lol
@xikarra the reverse goes for me too. I learned so much English grammar learning Spanish and even Korean. I also learned a lot of English vocabulary from Spanish vocabulary. best thing ever.
I can't rate anyone's Japanese. but Chris sometimes sounds like a depressed Samurai in an old film. Other times he sounds like gonzo. He does this when speaking English too. But it gives him character. I like him.
He is very chill on almost all of his sentence that I can’t find something and it boggles me. (It’s like that emotional string tone that appears when you say something)
yes very sarcastic not much larf like jingles also he said he got abroad to change the chav state hes there in but I like the missile warning vid feels like just another baby blitz 2.0 the slogan keep calm and stay sample, but about samurai I would cite kaiservs vid about the duel, gondorora no uta for some oldies in taisho some old comedy legends in local id branch from uite wo arukou etc besides other honorable mentions fanarts
This is how I will speak when I become bilingual. I'll try to speak using only the second language, but if they don't have a word for it I'll say it in English without an accent.
in the trash taste podcast, apparently his Japanese is probably better than native seeing as he can whip out kanji that not even natives knows it existed
"投下" in fact means to drop something somewhere from the upper place. However, as I'm reading through her texts I can almost guarantee that she meant "投稿" which means to publish or to post. Although I doubt if there is anyone who has even noticed the difference other than me being Japanese...
What impresses me about Joey is how perfectly balanced his bilingual abilities are. As a person raised in a bilingual environment, the majority of us only speak one language perfectly and the other language just for everyday conversations
I have found that 8 times out of 10 people who claim to be ''bilingual'' are sort of partly bilingual, as in they have native pronunciation in the other language but their knowledge of that language is surprisingly superficial. For example, there is a US boxer called Andy Ruiz who was raised to speak Spanish, but if you watch an interview of him in Spanish, his Spanish is surprisingly limited and he relies on using the same phrases over and over again, like ''hice todo lo posible por....'' This seems quite common with people in the UK who are raised in a Punjabi-speaking household. They say that they are bilingual in English and Punjabi, but in reality their Punjabi is conversational and they have somewhat limited vocabularies. With Joey, it seems like he actually has the balance right where he speaks both of them perfectly.
Dogen, this whole video is gold. I literally couldn't stop smiling, you are hilarious. Also makes me want to continue my study of the language, I've only been studying for 2 years, and am still nowhere near your level.
@Bay Kuş Depending on what system of romanization you use, "gambatte" can be considered correct. I live in Osaka - なんば is romanized as Namba. 本町 is romanized as Hommachi. Live and let live, especially when you're wrong.
Dogen: Complaining that he's a complete failure because he can't talk in front of people when speaking his second language. Me: Accepting that I'll never be able to speak in front of others in my native language and avoiding human interaction at every chance. Also this content was NOT a mistake...I want to see you reacting to PDR and his wife!!!
Yup talking with others is a hassle, and I speak 5 languages. It's a hassle. 6 if we count Sign Language... Still a hassle, and I don't even enjoy learning languages.

Your Japanese is so authentic that I can only think about how long it would take me to reach your level! As for this video, with a script or without it, your videos are really interesting and you humor is just brilliant
Watching this after the recent podcast Joey & his friends did where he describes just how strict his mother was with learning him japanese is super fun!
your regular content is amazing, but it's cool to see this impromptu because the sense of humor you had in your other vids wasn't lost and worked really well!! your channel's awesome, keep rockin!!

I'm a Japanese and I think your Japanese is perfect watching this video. You are a very good example for people learning Japanese. You're a good English teacher for me too, I can learn English with your Japanese subtitles. Thank you!

T-Universe Gamer Yeah, he often translates the subtitles differently so that each language has their own jokes. You can only fully appreciate his content if you’re bilingual... R.I.P. _ONE DAY, I SWEAR, I WILL BE HOKA-I mean-I WILL SPEAK JAPANESE!!_
I love this video. Your humor flows so naturally. Although he hasn't uploaded in a while, I also recommend you review Filthy Frank's/Joji's Japanese, considering his ハーフ heritage. I think it'd be very interesting to hear your opinion on it.
Oooh, I loved this. It's quite different from your normal style, and sometimes doing something different from the norm can be a good thing. Speaking of Norm, can you crit him, REina, and Micheala? I'd love to see those in addition to those you already mentioned. Oh, and Sharla too ^_^ I forsee this as a fun little new series.
I am hafu, but was raised in the US with no exposure to my Japanese roots, and just started really studying Japanese recently in preparation for visiting my family last July. I learned a lot and got some great travel advice and recommendations (like Memrise) from Chris-san's channel. I love hearing him speak because it’s encouraging to hear someone who started later do so well, and with his deep voice he sounds like the reincarnation of a 500 year old Samurai. :) I am very excited to find your channel (thank you, algorithm!) because I sound very American when I speak! My only convincing phrase is currently, "Honto ni?!”
"Joey's Japanese uses too little English which is not good" I never thought of it that way, but hearing it out loud is hilarious to me. (I totally get what you are saying though since I studied abroad there for a year and speak fairly well)
1. Although I'm not Japanese I am in Japan, and I consider myself a fan. 2. Scripted or nonscripted your content is always both entertaining and educational. 3. My vein game could be stronger.
I found that to be thoroughly enjoyable. Personally I’d like to see a video series of you conquering the functional, conversational and impromptu use. Hope to see more of the cuff videos in future. Your videos have inspired me to take on Japanese and spend some more time on the pronunciation and tonal side of it.
I actually really enjoyed this less scripted style, it was lighthearted and fun, and the subtitles & editing really helped with the jokes. Great video!
Omg literally the thing with Japanese loan words is so true....I remember listening to my friend speak in Japanese, and literally I could understand what they were saying just because of the sheer amount of english loan words they were using in every sentence. It was so bad that sometimes I could hear loan words like.......after EVERY OTHER JAPANESE WORD. (Not all the time...but it has happened...) Its the same in Korean too. Some Koreans don't even know what the original Korean word is for something like "bus", or "juice" because they use the english one so often.
Honestly, Dogen, I LOVED this. Watching you speak without a script just felt more natural and made it feel more human somehow. Don't get me wrong, I love your scripted shorts, but this was a refreshing change of pace. I'd love to see more of this kind of stuff ❤️
My wife is Japanese, and we're moving to Japan by the end of the year. She's bilingual and speaks English near perfect without an accent, meanwhile I'm out here struggling to count to 10 in Japanese 🤣 I've got a lot to learn, but I'm excited.
I thought it's the Brits that are cynical. Neither, by the way. Also, it's more of a running joke about the purported desirability of Japanese women, but nevermind.
Dogen, you're brilliant. "I still can't talk [Japanese] in front of people which makes me a complete failure" I screw up my native language in front of, not complete strangers, but FRIENDS.
I am myself prefer public speaking in something other than my Native language. I seem to make less mistakes and I feel more confident. Which I myself find weird and my friends find outright strange.
We must practice and study 40 hours a day. We need ling ling practice for languages Edit: goodness gracious 48 likes? I didn't think anyone would even read my comment! ^ - ^
The editing of this video makes it look like I'm watching some topical daytime show on Japanese TV with E-list celebrities. the only thing missing is Dogen being forced to eat some region-specific spicy noodle dish
11歳離れた妹とDogenの動画ゲラゲラ笑って見てるよ！妹はあまり意味わかってないみたいだけど、どの動画も最高だと思うー！ That said to this impromptu video without a script, I also quite enjoyed the content and how your Japanese naturally comes out. I’m impressed by how much effort you make into writing scripts and teaching Japanese!! I’m a Japanese living in Tokyo and am a huge fan of your channel! I’ll keep recommending this channel to both my native and non-native Japanese friends 👍🏼👍🏼 これからも頑張ってーー！
You did great Dogen, I like how you delivered this impromptu evaluation speech. This inspired me to up my Japanese speaking game! I want it to sound more natural than just heavily relying to my email template and call spiels for work. Cheers!
Just started learning Japanese a week ago, so Im not gonna lie and act like I could understand much of anything in this video, but hopefully I'll come back in around a year and be able to understand most of the video at the speed they're talking.
こんにちはレンニさん! How are you doing? I started a month ago, and I barely managed to memorize the kana syllabaries, but I still hope I will do enough progress in the following 11 months, so that I will be able to re-watch this video and understand it without reading the subtitles. Certainly Japanese is a difficult language, but I'am not going to surrender, I'll see you there the next year and we we'll see how much did we actually "level-up". さようなら!
This video was unbelievably relatable. I am the exact same way: I use Japanese in a more scholarly way and am always paying attention to any mistakes I make while speaking (my anxiety level is also a factor). It makes it hard to have a natural, fluid conversation. I find I get a big Japanese level up whenever I'm drunk.
I absolutely love watching your videos. I'm studying japanese at university (2年生です)and this really helps me to surround myself with the language since I live in Serbia.

Yeah, he often translates the subtitles differently so that each language has their own jokes. You can only fully appreciate his content if you’re bilingual... R.I.P.

@@littlefishbigmountain yep. one day I hope to attain 上手の日本語, and be able to understand all the hidden jokes
I love this video. Your humor flows so naturally. Although he hasn't uploaded in a while, I also recommend you review Filthy Frank's/Joji's Japanese, considering his ハーフ heritage. I think it'd be very interesting to hear your opinion on it.
簡潔に言うとIt's perfect
well considering he did grew up in japan
目をつぶって聞いたら、、、

日本にいる日本人の視聴者です。いつも動画楽しみにしてます！
日本人として他言語を勉強すればするほど母語の難しさに気付いた。
特に敬語とか、ネイティブでもボロボロな人沢山いるし、外国の方で日本語話せる人って本当に努力したんだな〜…って毎回思う
日本人でも長文を正しくアドリブでスピーチできないから、イベント時はカンペを読むしな。
おっとカタカナ入れるとDogenさんに弄られそうだ。
こう見ると不自然な外国語むっちゃ使ってるな…俺らの会話
@@すっとんきょー全然ナチュラルな感じ
Oooh, I loved this. It's quite different from your normal style, and sometimes doing something different from the norm can be a good thing.
Speaking of Norm, can you crit him, REina, and Micheala? I'd love to see those in addition to those you already mentioned. Oh, and Sharla too ^_^
I forsee this as a fun little new series.
He hearted this, this gon' be gud!
I'm curious about pretty much all of the Tokyo Creative crew as well as Cathy Cat.
I am hafu, but was raised in the US with no exposure to my Japanese roots, and just started really studying Japanese recently in preparation for visiting my family last July. I learned a lot and got some great travel advice and recommendations (like Memrise) from Chris-san's channel. I love hearing him speak because it’s encouraging to hear someone who started later do so well, and with his deep voice he sounds like the reincarnation of a 500 year old Samurai. :) I am very excited to find your channel (thank you, algorithm!) because I sound very American when I speak! My only convincing phrase is currently, "Honto ni?!”
"Joey's Japanese uses too little English which is not good"
I never thought of it that way, but hearing it out loud is hilarious to me.
(I totally get what you are saying though since I studied abroad there for a year and speak fairly well)
1. Although I'm not Japanese I am in Japan, and I consider myself a fan.
2. Scripted or nonscripted your content is always both entertaining and educational.
3. My vein game could be stronger.
I found that to be thoroughly enjoyable. Personally I’d like to see a video series of you conquering the functional, conversational and impromptu use.
Hope to see more of the cuff videos in future. Your videos have inspired me to take on Japanese and spend some more time on the pronunciation and tonal side of it.
かなり日本の本とか読んでそうだから、雨降って地固まるを知らんのは意外だったな
「雨降って地固まる」は日本人の中では割と有名だしそこそこ使われるから、知っておいたほうがいいと思う。
''props bruh'' made me laugh so hard
When you mixed up げんざい and げんだい I really felt that.
I always mix up 時期 and 時代 😅

I actually really enjoyed this less scripted style, it was lighthearted and fun, and the subtitles & editing really helped with the jokes. Great video!

Omg literally the thing with Japanese loan words is so true....I remember listening to my friend speak in Japanese, and literally I could understand what they were saying just because of the sheer amount of english loan words they were using in every sentence. It was so bad that sometimes I could hear loan words like.......after EVERY OTHER JAPANESE WORD. (Not all the time...but it has happened...) Its the same in Korean too. Some Koreans don't even know what the original Korean word is for something like "bus", or "juice" because they use the english one so often.
Seems like the average bilingual person just throwing in the word that comes to mind
外国人が外来語（英語）を日本の発音で話すのがすごい。
ですよねー
Honestly, Dogen, I LOVED this. Watching you speak without a script just felt more natural and made it feel more human somehow. Don't get me wrong, I love your scripted shorts, but this was a refreshing change of pace. I'd love to see more of this kind of stuff ❤️
My wife is Japanese, and we're moving to Japan by the end of the year. She's bilingual and speaks English near perfect without an accent, meanwhile I'm out here struggling to count to 10 in Japanese 🤣 I've got a lot to learn, but I'm excited.
the real point you're making is "my wife is Japanese"
@@theSpian1 ur either japanese or youve been way too exposed to their culture. Your comment is so cynical it reminds me of japanese comment sections
I thought it's the Brits that are cynical.
Neither, by the way.
Also, it's more of a running joke about the purported desirability of Japanese women, but nevermind.
@@theSpian1 well perhaps the two islands have more similarity than most people realize.
That felt like recent felix Japan vlog
3:52 え〜〜！！！道元さんマジそんなこと無いから！！！😭🥺😭お世辞とかじゃなく上手いから！！！
この動画も英語なんか壊滅的にできない私が耳だけでエンタメとして楽しめる良い動画だし、母国語しかできない人間に言わせれば、英語とは形式も全然違う言語をここまで喋れるのはほんと尊敬しかないですよ！！！
日本語って基本日本でしか喋られてないマイナー言語だから、日本人の多くは外国出身者が少しでも日本語を理解しようって頑張ってくれてるのをみると応援したいし、感謝の気持ちが湧いてきます。それにほとんどの日本人は一つの言語しか喋れないから他言語学習者は尊敬の対象ですよ多分(私然り(笑))
結局何が言いたいかというと、私含め多くの視聴者さんが道元さんの日本語や動画が好きでもっと見たいと思ってるので、道元さんがやりたいことどんどん動画にして欲しいです！
なんか調子乗って長文書いちゃって申し訳ない....(しかも日本語で(笑)すいません)
これからも応援してます！
WHY DO I WATCH JAPANESE VIDEOS WITH ENGLISH SUBS WHEN I'M ITALIAN AND CAN'T EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH PROPERLY?!?!? 😂 😂 😂
Because you're a weeb
two birds with one stone lol!!! smart!
@@mrevilducky No need to be derogatory
Ce la farai
same bro, my english is terrible lol
This was great. I'd love to see more of these for sure. Even without a script it's still funny and informative.
"It's not easy to change my audience"
Yeah, what more for your shirt.
🤣🤣
この人めちゃめちゃ日本語上手
Not a single particle. You have won.
Dogenさん、言葉を考えすぎて古畑任三郎みたいになってますよｗ
是非このシリーズを続けてください🤣
既視感の正体は古畑任三郎かww
わかります！私はドーゲンさんと全く一緒です。
小さい時から日本語を勉強しているんですけど、文法間違ったり言葉が出てこない時もあります笑。
なので最近は話すことよりも、書くほうが得意かも・・って思っててブログを本格的に始めようと思っています。
無理なく、自分の得意な分野で活動した方がいいですよね。
なので、台本の件も全然ありだと思います。
これからも応援してます！

So did you ever start the blog? :)

Dogen, you're brilliant.
"I still can't talk [Japanese] in front of people which makes me a complete failure"
I screw up my native language in front of, not complete strangers, but FRIENDS.
I am myself prefer public speaking in something other than my Native language. I seem to make less mistakes and I feel more confident. Which I myself find weird and my friends find outright strange.
We must practice and study 40 hours a day. We need ling ling practice for languages

@@mayawitters I just had to write that. I had to. It just fitted perfectly
We’ll change “if you can play it slow, you can play it fast” to “if you can say it slow, you can say it fast” 😂😂
What makes me mad is I was so on board with your comment then I really thought and realized it said ''40 hours a day''
Ok！Time to die！
@@Astronaut_705 Meanwhile I am still trying to figure out what being on board means. I think I need to practice my English as well.
Honestly, I want more impromptu content. From the start, I was like, "He's really doing it, no script..."
Please make more content like this!
日本語が上手すぎてどこが間違ってるかわからないレベル。。。
He’s beating himself up about his Japanese but I’m literally using his Japanese to practice LOL
Same! Haha
いつもよりたどたどしいドーゲンさんが新鮮すぎてギャップ萌え案件なんですがどうしてくれますか？
The way you switch between English and Japanese is almost like two different voices
Definitely do more of this! It was super interesting and I loved watching the longer, more raw version of Dogen. :D
I like that Dogen is very positive and supportive of his friend's Japanese abilities. This video was surprisingly wholesome.
You are too modest. Your Japanese is almost perfect. I guarantee it.👍👍👍
フツーに日本語ペラペラなのに謙虚すぎます！
ことわざの部分で初めて「あっ、本当にネイティブじゃないんだ…」と分かって、
むしろびっくりしました！😳👏👏👏
The editing of this video makes it look like I'm watching some topical daytime show on Japanese TV with E-list celebrities. the only thing missing is Dogen being forced to eat some region-specific spicy noodle dish
今まで見たどうげんの動画の中でこれが一番面白かった！こういう感じの動画をもっと見たい！jump cutsの使い方とかもめっちゃうまかった👌
I laughed so hard when he says” ADVICE, do you get it?” That facial expression was perfect XD
日本語が母語の日本語教師です。初めて見たドーゲンさんのビデオが高低音のもので、わかりやすくていいな〜と思って即シェアさせていただきました。
私なりの感想ですが、
ジョーイーさんの日本語は本当に自然で、若者の日本語という感じですね。本当に自然なのですが "Knit-picking" 的な間違いを指摘するとしたら 『前の動画にも１回やったことある』(1:56) じゃなくて『前の動画でも１回やったことある』もう一つは『かわいいふさふさだし』(3:43) じゃなくて『ふさふさでかわいいし』ぐらいかな。日本人でもこういう間違いはよくある（話している途中で次に言おうと思っていたことを変えたりして起こることが多い）ので、特に違和感はないですが。彼が敬語で話しているところも聞いてみたいです。
クリスさんのは、聞き取りやすい外国人の日本語という感じですね。もちろん細かい間違いはたくさんあるのですが、コミュニケーションが取れる、面白い、という点で素晴らしいと思います。
ドーゲンさんの日本語は、間違いがあっても問題なく意味が通じるぐらいハイレベル。すごく謙虚（本当に日本人みたい）で丁寧で、聞いていて心地好いです。ファンです。もっと自信を持ってください。:D
日本語をここまで使いこなして日本人まで面白いと思わせる日本語力はすごすぎる
日本人の謙虚さを自虐風のネタとして今回の動画に入れてるし圧巻です
日本人と大差ないぜぇいw
凄く聞きやすい！
That's a lot of tongue.
YEAH CHRIS THAT'S A LOT OF TONGUE.
11歳離れた妹とDogenの動画ゲラゲラ笑って見てるよ！妹はあまり意味わかってないみたいだけど、どの動画も最高だと思うー！
That said to this impromptu video without a script, I also quite enjoyed the content and how your Japanese naturally comes out. I’m impressed by how much effort you make into writing scripts and teaching Japanese!! I’m a Japanese living in Tokyo and am a huge fan of your channel! I’ll keep recommending this channel to both my native and non-native Japanese friends 👍🏼👍🏼 これからも頑張ってーー！
You did great Dogen, I like how you delivered this impromptu evaluation speech. This inspired me to up my Japanese speaking game! I want it to sound more natural than just heavily relying to my email template and call spiels for work. Cheers!
Just started learning Japanese a week ago, so Im not gonna lie and act like I could understand much of anything in this video, but hopefully I'll come back in around a year and be able to understand most of the video at the speed they're talking.
こんにちはレンニさん!
How are you doing?
I started a month ago, and I barely managed to memorize the kana syllabaries, but I still hope I will do enough progress in the following 11 months, so that I will be able to re-watch this video and understand it without reading the subtitles. Certainly Japanese is a difficult language, but I'am not going to surrender, I'll see you there the next year and we we'll see how much did we actually "level-up".
さようなら!
This is one of the funniest videos I've seen in a while. It seems like it would take forever to edit, so I do not envy you lol.
This video was unbelievably relatable. I am the exact same way: I use Japanese in a more scholarly way and am always paying attention to any mistakes I make while speaking (my anxiety level is also a factor). It makes it hard to have a natural, fluid conversation.
I find I get a big Japanese level up whenever I'm drunk.
Finally, a crossover episode. The OVA sure took a few years but it was worth it.
I absolutely love watching your videos. I'm studying japanese at university (2年生です)and this really helps me to surround myself with the language since I live in Serbia.
