    Nice spotlight, I like the emphasis on different levels of Japanese comprehension. Now I just need to get the confidence to actually talk to people instead of just "practicing listening" by sitting ontop of the buildings in Popiyoko (pigeon moding)

    Thanks! I wanted to install VRchat but didn't know where to start or what server to play. Your video gave me a way to practice both my English and Japanese, given that I do not even speak with anyone in my native language 🤣

    I was gonna write a comment earlier about how nice the video was, like other people said (though I can't add more)
    then I sort of jumped the gun and entered EN-JP first
    I met a lot of people there and did spot your name at some point but my memory didn't recollect it was you the video maker
    that may have happened as I told people I came here today by a really cool video recommendation that came at the right time
    and it was so much fun so thank you!
    (and like others said I'm claiming my before fame ticket)

    thanks for the video
    im neither a native english speaker and japanese speaker,
    and i also dont have experience in vr,
    but i always wanted to improve my japanese speaking skills
    and make jp friends, so i will give en jp world a try.
    what i learned from travel to japan before was that,
    understanding sources like songs, dramas, and vtuber streams
    are totally different with making a real time conversation with japanese people.
    its like, i can maybe easily order a food at izakaya, or talk to staff,
    but cant even speak 20 seconds with some ojisan next table.
    i just cant print out my mind in a japanese sentence.

    • @nerazawa

      enjp is definitely a good environment to get the ball rolling, you just gotta keep speaking to get more confident!

    I have been learning Japanese for one year. I was in a bit of a unique situation where I did not have electronics or internet AT ALL for the first 10 months of my learning. all I had was textbooks, so I couldn't practice conversational at all. So my reading and writing is WAY better than speaking. I just bought a quest 3, and I think going into VR Chat is going to help me a lot!

    • @itsCatMeme37
      @itsCatMeme37 3 дні тому

      @nerazawa Part of it is my desire to remain an introvert. I can get lost in reading and writing practice for hours and hours at a time and be perfectly happy doing it, but suggest that I SPEAK with a real person and the anxiety is too much. ESPECIALLY in a language that I don't have a good grasp in. But the funny thing is, that's one of the things that attracts me to Japanese culture is that people typically aren't overbearing and trying to touch and talk to you all the time like they are in America.

    Thanks for the recommendations. I was looking for some places to practice my outputting skills in VRC and these look good. Are JP people ok with foreigners in worlds like Nagisa/Fujiyama? In the past, trolls from other countries have made a lot of JP people leave regular publics so I was wondering if some people have an issue with them or if you've run into anything like that?

    nagisa is so awesome. a random guy at fujiyama showed it to me. tho it is kinda sad that almost every conversation you have resorts to talking about countries/ where you are from/ differences between japan and ypur country, etc. i'm not mad about it since im hardly an N2, but the amount of speaking you can do there is veeeery big.

    • @nerazawa
      @nerazawa  2 години тому
