How I learnt a lil' Japanese in 1 month on my own *in quarantine* 🇯🇵
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 тра 2024
- I finally got around to learning Japanese (something I’ve been wanting to do for the longest time) in quarantine! I have been studying completely on my own (and of course, for free online, oh the marvels of the internet!), and here’s where I am after 30 days. I am totally still at a basic level (welcome any feedback!) & may not speak great after 1 month of self-study, but I’m happy with my 30-day progress nonetheless, and am excited to see how far I can take Japanese moving forward. It’s not a fast process but it’s certainly possible and oh-so-rewarding, so I hope this video inspires some of you to start your own language learning journey (or continue it)!
Learning a language isn’t as hard as most people think - it’s really just creating a strategy, implementing it and having a ton of discipline + consistency. Let me know if you’d like to see videos of me sharing (1) my own language learning journey (I used to hate learning languages lol) or (2) tips on how to self-study a language or (3) just tips on language study in general :)
Maybe one day in the future I’ll do a video of how my Japanese progresses over time too.

Looking for an update on my Japanese progress? I made a video on that here:

Ok
I like how the title says "A little japanese" and not: "how I became Completely Fluent in Japanese in 1 month"
Just keepin it real! Thanks for watching :)
absolutetrash same. it’s good to stay positive, but you shouldn’t claim to fluency when you can’t have a real conversation with a Japanese person.
still miles ahead of my japanese after 3 and a half months oop
@@MrJohnIIIGaming its okay, everyone works at their own pace
@@MrJohnIIIGaming lmao I barely learnt hiragana and like 40 words in 3 months
So shes speaking ENGLISH throughout the video while learning JAPANESE but writing her notes in SPANISH. She amazes me
3:14: quick tip!
When wa is used as a particle (like it is after eki) we do not use the hiragana わ instead we use は but still pronounce it as wa! Takes time to get used to lol!!you will fully understand once you learn particles!
幸運を!(こううんを) ɢօօɖʟʊċҡ!
Yes I'm aware of that!! haha I realized it right after I uploaded the video, oops. Thanks anyway!
@@VictoriaLim aha lol
Goodluck with your future studies!
@Gillwinglol wonder why
こんいちわ or こんにちは and わたし or はたし like idk when to use them?
@@_suika_ In words like こんにちは and こんばんは they always use the hiragana wa, but for わたし it is wa or the kanji for it.(私)
However, when you start to learn about particles, the particle は is pronounced 'wa'. I know that that is more than you asked for but I'm telling you so that you don't get confused later on. 幸運を! goodluck!
She writes her Japanese notes in Spanish. That’s next level
Spanish isn’t the hardest language tbh looks a lot like english
@@hypecacw wtf Spanish does does not sound a lot like English
@@hypecacw it’s amazing, you are 100% wrong
@@imsorryforarguingbut4555 I meant writing it
@@cartrex2437 I meant writing Spanish it’s easy to break down words to English
Oh my god, i'm so impressed. I've been studying Japanese for almost 1 year while living in japan and it almost feels like we're the same level of speaking. I'd even say you're better than me on speaking. My listening is kind of good at the moment, but my speaking is horrible.I get very insecure. I will use you as inspiration and study harder. In 1 month i've been in japan for one year, and my goal is to start talking before that. If you manage to learn this much in 4 weeks i should definitely be able to start talking in a month lol.
Hi love, it isn't a competition! Everyone learns at their own pace, and as I mentioned in the video I've had experience learning other languages (including Asian ones!) so it may have been easier for me to learn compared to someone who has only ever spoken English.
With regard to speaking, I would suggest you not be insecure and just go and start having conversations!! That's the only way you will learn and get better. Trust me, people in Japan love it when you speak to them in Japanese, no matter how broken it is (speaking from experience)! Take advantage of being in Japan to really immerse yourself in the language and speak. You can do it! :)
Go places you know foreigners won't be and try to meet people that way. The more you expose yourself to people who don't speak English the more you'll push yourself to try and talk. I've learned more from Japanese people who don't speak English than ones that do. The app HelloTalk is also really good for talking with Japanese for language exchange. I stopped using HelloTalk though for Japanese once I could understand more. And stream on a Japanese streaming site called Twitcasting.
頑張れ!
The way she writes in Spanish while learning Japanese 😨
But how this is really hard😨
@@h-o-n-e-y2974 I do that too but in english lmao, my first language is spanish but all my japanese notes are in english so I dont forget my other languages as well
@@Ilovedallthepeople omg sameee
I do but not rly cuz bothsucks lol
@@h-o-n-e-y2974 My first language is French. Learning Japanese from English videos. knowing pronunciations and grammar rules from both French and English does actually help a lot.
In my opinion, Japennese is the second most beautiful language other than French. Great choice during the quarantine!
Thank you!! I think all languages are beautiful but Japanese indeed has its own charm ✨
T'aime les bonbons ?
Imo Arabic is the most beautiful. I know french but still, i also think japanese would be more on the cute side.
@@ek2211 How about korean tho

i just wanna be able to watch anime without the subtitles😭
we are missing to much by reading subtitles my brother T^T

Same, but i still think its cool if i knew another language! I really want to learn it so i could tell something bad to my bullies😤
@@courtneycadle LITERALLY 🧍♀️
I feel you
Your itaki teacher was brilliant. She was so patient and seemed to have a very warm presence.
Not sure if you aware, but Japanese sounds similar to Spanish, Italian and Greek. It has a lot of vocals, long words with many syllables, etc.
I'm currently studying Japanese as well but I'm kind of struggling with the grammar :( Looking at your notes they seem really well organized (So envious XD) ! Do you have a structure or tips on studying grammar?
I would advise to get one textbook and stick with it! What I did was a bit disorganized. If you really can't find / get access to a textbook, would suggest following the JLPT syllabus closely here nihongoichiban.com/home/jlpt-n5-study-material/ (this is for N5, but pick whatever level you're at!). read through the concepts that are tested in the JLPT and then study the concepts you aren't familiar with through youtube videos or blog posts :)
I would also suggest practicing verb conjugation! This is a good site to do that wkdonc.github.io/conjugation/drill.html
All the best!
We all learn differently. Some people learn a language by focusing on grammar first, others just listen to hours and hours of audio cds/podcasts everyday. There’s a good ted talk about polyglots/people who learn a lot of languages you should check out. Me personally, I noticed I started focusing on grammar when I began learning Japanese.
I’m a bit of a grammar nazi when it comes to English, so this made sense to me. Make it fun and make it consistent. I’ve only been learning Japanese for 6 months but I’m pretty confident in the small amount I’ve learned. I know it’s going to be several years of consistent study before I reach my desired level of Japanese.
The problem with most textbooks, and 90% of other material out there is they teach japanese in the context of a european language, which messes up your understanding of the fundamentals. You need to find someone who teaches japanese AS japanese. Genki, Japanese from Zero, JapanesePod101, are all guilty of teaching it as if it's a european language.
just studying everyday and if get bored just listen to the music so we can get inspired
I’ve been trying Japanese for I think around 4-5 months... I’ve been doing pimsleur courses which I like, + a Japanese dictionary app I use to save words I hear watching anime lol (I use the premium subscription for the pimsleur app, they are 30 min recordings + flash cards,etc. but I spend probs around 2 hrs on each lesson) It really helps with pronunciation and speaking and gets you to really remember simple words and grammar/sentence structure. I’m almost done with 3/5 levels, and I plan to buy a grammar textbook once I complete all 5. I struggle to study more complicated grammar still because I still don’t have much vocabulary. I end up getting confused by sentences full of words I don’t know. I’m hoping in a couple months I’ll have enough to really be able to get into grammar. That’s just my personal and limited experience so far!
I think Japanese grammar is not that complicated. But the speaking part really takes a long journey. I mean you can easily read Japanese sentences, but when you write or speak, it's a different case. It's harder than you thought it'll be. I suggest if you are practicing a foreign language, you converse it with a native speaker a lot.
I think Its same for every language. speaking part is the hardest part
not easily when therws kanji😂😂
Literally me, I learn Japanese and French
My French reading and writing isn’t so bad but speaking... I’ll pass 😭
Im okay with the listening and reading, but I have issues with the writing
@@user-oc8zn4me6i hmm
language learning with netflix is actually so freacking cool oml
it is !! i use it to learn a lot ; and it also lets you slow vids down so it helps when i watch saiki kusuo no sai-nan it helps a lot and i learn a lot more
Yeah, but it would be much cooler when paired with something like Yomichan (Japanese).
Here's my study plan incase someone needs any ideas:
Part 1
40 minutes of Japanese from zero. (Or less but I have to cover two topics)
10 minute lecture from easy Japanese website
5 minutes of JLPT5 listening practice
5 minutes of childrens book reading practice
30 vocab words flash cards (I don't try to memorize them instead I rely on repetition)
Break
Part 2
Flash card revision
1 video of let's learn Japanese basics from youtube (i gives me confidence to know that I can understand what natives are saying and it's good revision)
*btw now that my summer break is over and uni is reopening, I've simplified by routine.*
40 minutes of JFZ (when I wake up)
2 episodes of Sailor Moon for listening practice (after uni)
Memorizing all vocabulary that has been mentioned in the chapter (before I sleep or anytime during the day)
Got the sample on kindle gonna buy Japanese from zero soon
@@jadaharris5190 Best of luck :)
fatima sohail khan arigato gozimasu (lol did I misspell)
thank you so much for this, I always need guidance to study :)
@@AmandaOliveira-ci5ii no worries. but remember to tone it down if it feels like too much. After 1 month I always have a week where I dont feel like doing much. so I just do some random exercises/leasons. but I still dont miss a single day!
this has inspired me to try harder during quarantine to learn japanese!! thank u :))
also when u said "si" I laughed out louddd
😅😅 that happens a lot... even when I speak in English lol
When she’s say (si) ??
As someone who mixes up English and Spanish (both are my main languages and I stink at both), I felt that😅
I'm currently learning Japanese for about 2 days and I already master the hiragana and katana. Thanks for your tips, I will do my best :3
Omg!!! I cracked up when you said "si" and then quickly realized it was Spanish! I confuse Japanese and Spanish all the time. Especially "demo" and "pero". They're surprisingly similar, aren't they? ^^
I really enjoyed this video!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
YAS finally someone who understands! for some reason I say "como" a lot too hahah. I sometimes mix "etto" and "ehhh" as well (as the filler sounds)
I barely know any Spanish so once I get pretty good at Japanese it’s gonna be less confusing
@@sootekko as a spanish speaker, i am pretty confused at Japanese xD
oh my gosh i also get the two mixed up all the time!! i am learning spanish in school and always mix up my japanese with spanish 😅
@@kateraprohaski Hahahha polyglot struggles
Bro I would have crapped myself trying to talk to a real life person, but ur teacher was so sweet towards u, I nearly cried lol. U became so good in 4 weeks, I think I speak for everyone when I say, I'm impressed.💐💐💐
The only way you can get good is to make mistakes! I love to have conversations even when I’m an absolute beginner - it can be frustrating to make mistakes, but use that as fuel to keep you going 💪🏻
Do any of you have languages you would like to learn, or have any language learning stories of your own? :)

僕が日本語勉強してるって言うけど、実は全ての言語まだ学んでるよw
メキシコに生まれたから、スペイン語わかる
でも、スペイン語をマスターできる前に、アメリカに移住したから、英語も学ぶ必要あった
だから、今も英語とスペイン語に苦戦してる (自分の言語はないw)
そのうえ、1年半以上間に日本語を勉強してきて、まだ下手だよw
ソノウエ、大学のコースに取るのが始めた(まだ高校生だのに)
でも、チャレンジ好きから、大丈夫よ :)
Digo que estoy estudiando japonés, pero en realidad todavía estoy aprendiendo todos mis idiomas jaja
Nací en México así que puedo entender español
Pero antes que pude dominar el español, me mudé a los Estados Unidos, y tuve que aprender el inglés
Por eso aún tengo problemas con el inglés y el español (no tengo idioma propia jaja)
Además, he estudiado japonés por más de un año y medio, y todavía soy pésimo jaja
ADEMÁS, comenzé a tomar cursos universitarios por la primera vez (aunque estoy en la prepa)
Pero me gustan los retos, así que todo está bien :)
I say that I'm learning Japanese, but I'm actually still learning all my languages lol
I was born in Mexico so I understand Spanish
But before I could master Spanish, I moved to the U.S. and had to learn English
So I'm struggling with English and Spanish (I don't have my own language lol)
On top of that, I've been learning Japanese for over a year and a half, and I still suck lol
ON TOP OF THAT, I started took college courses (even though I'm still a high schooler)
But I like challenges, so it's all good :)
Sorry for long message lol
I try to learn a little of language before going on holiday. I learnt German and French at school. I learnt a little Italian before going to Italy and a little Polish before going to Poland. We plan to go on holiday to Japan in a couple of years, so I have just started learning Japanese through UA-cam and duolingo.
i’m learning korean
This 'conversation with a Japanese speaker' is the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. Like, you're doing so well
I decided to learn japanese in this quarantine as well, sometimes I want to give up, it's not easy but maybe is I was not organized and didn't use the right resources, thank you for sharing your process, it motivates me to keep going! :D
You can do it!
Same ☹️
Honestly: bless your heart for being chill in the title.
Hi! I’m Nick and I’m a trainee of professional Japanese teacher! I found this video and I just wanted to say you’re amazing because even if you think it’s not enough, but studied all hiragana in three week and you actually speak and you can also introduce yourself real quick plus, you can have a conversation with native speaker. That’s very impressive!! You got me an another subscriber here and I’m looking forward to see how you’re gonna study :)!!
Thank you so much! I don't really foresee myself doing too many new Japanese videos, just fyi, but your comment meant a lot :) Thank you!
All your tips help me a lot to continue learning another language! Thank u so much ❤️❤️
This was so inspiring. I haven't been super structured with my Japanese language learning but I am inspired to get a little more organized with my language learning.
With アメリカに vs アメリカで, で is used when you're talking a bit more about where an action takes place. コンビニで水を買いました。(I bought water at the convenience store.)
に functions a little more like giving additional information, but can pretty much cover all the bases. アメリカに住んでいます。(I live in America.)
When in doubt, use に, but you'll get more familiar of the nuance as you grow more familiar with the language. There's a similar thing with は and が. Don't worry too much about it, because you'll be understood even if you say the wrong one.
Thank you! I now understand the difference between でand に, but が and はare admittedly more challenging for me still haha. I’ll keep learning tho!!
@@VictoriaLim I figured you may have learned it already 😅 With は and が, use は when it's the main topic, and が if it's a detail about the topic. が is also usually used when there is a は omitted.
(私は)猫が好きです。
I like cats
But naturally, you'd say, 猫が好きです。This is a case of the ommited は
Thank you, for inspiring me to study Japanese further. When you mentioned "instant gratification", I felt caller because I knew it was a problem for me to solve🥺🥺. Alright, がんばって!!
Me: I want to learn Japanese too
Also me: *studies one letter* aight time for a break 🤧
There is a “learn all hiragana” and “learn all katakana” video by japanesepod. When you learn a new row of letters you can also practice with realkana (it’s like a flashcard website)
1% is better than 0% 😉
😳
@@mixup2216 or just search up hiragana and katakana alphabet on google it's easier
You’re inspiring me to continue 😆
I’m more inspired now to relearn my Japanese 😂❤️
Hi Victoria :)
I'm from Brazil and I'm also learning another language, but in my case it's English. Thank u so much for the content ♥️
All the best with studying English! I would love to learn Portuguese one day :)
@@VictoriaLim yukata! Finally someone who gets it
Can I ask you which is the second lenguage to learn in Brazil, is it spanish?
@@SI-tl1zb In Brazil they speak Portuguese!
@@VictoriaLim I know, I mean in schools which is the option they have to study. For example in Mexico (I'm mexican) we have the "option" to learn english as a second lenguage. I thought in Brazil it would be spanish since almost all their neighbours are countries where people speak spanish
I've been teaching myself japanese for a year and you're already better than me 😭😭😭. You are really good at studying, I've just been using duolingo and some other apps 😭😭
Refold site ;)
I’m here because I still can’t decide between Korean and Japanese so I’ve been browsing different experiences with the language and many different learning processes 😰
Either one you learn it’ll become easier to learn the other in terms of speaking and listening as the grammatical structure is the same. However learning to read and write is easier in Korean as the alphabet is really really simple.
Same here
KPOP motivates me to start learning Korean, but it's the same with anime >.<
I can't decide
@@saikikusuo3012 lol same
WE ARE LITERALLY IN THE SAME BOAT 😭 I’m thinking Korean because it’s slightly easier and my mom said she likes how it sounds slightly more
@@dxubty i kinda find this funny as i also want to learn korean but im currently studing Japanese but to me korean alphabet looks quite hard instead of japanese
WHA-
I’ve been learning for 6 months!! I can’t speak that well. 😭 😂
Well you probably shouldn’t speak until you’ve gotten tons and tons of input in Japanese, I tried to speak recently and I was not really that successful. Remember to get lots of input everyday, even if it’s just passive listening.
I can relate to the part when your speaking a new language and proceed with answering with another language. That was so funny. I happened to experience that when I spoke to my aunt in Malay casually and proceed to answer her in Chinese naturally during our conversation.
Hahaha problems when you speak multiple languages
Glad to hear you're starting to learn Japanese, it's a really fun language! In my opinion, being able to write it is the biggest hurdle, so don't feel bad if you don't have hiragana and katakana down yet! As long as you can recognize the characters, you'll be fine! 頑張って!
Just a small tip: I noticed you used わ as the topic marker in your sentences. While it is pronounced 'wa', the 'ha' character is used to mark the subject. は
Same thing when you used え as a location marker. It's pronounced 'e' but the 'he' character is used. へ Often, people just use に anyway.
And once again with お. It's said 'o' but 'wo' is used. を
I’m currently self-studying Japanese and I’m sadly doing a slow progress 😅 but I feel really inspired after watching this! I’m very amazed with your skills and I feel jealous! LOL
Thank you for the tips! I feel like I could really use them a lot.
Also, that woman (tutor) looks so kind and patient :) I just really find her nice and warm.
I’ll continue to do my best and study harder!

Well you shouldn’t learn 3 at a time.
Beautiful video! I took note of a ton of the resources that you mentioned. Thank you so much for the tips! I got the extensions and have been playing with them. Love it.
Girl you nailed it, you learnt so fast I'm impressed. Keep on the good work!!
this is really insightful! have always wanted to learn Japanese but have no idea where to start.. this sure gives me a little motivation indeed. Really appreciate the sharing of your learning progress with us :)
Wow this is amazing! I am also starting to learn Japanese language. First time to saw your channel and I immediately subscribed. I saved this video and noted the tips and useful tools and websites you mentioned. I am loving your content. Keep it up! 😊
videos like these are motivating me so much to start learning Japanese, thank you for this queen
One of the best videos I've watched regarding this, thanks!!
I’m planning on going to college in Japan in two years and this is such great motivation for me to continue learning the language. Thank you 🥺❤️
I think youre doing so great!! Im amazed at how much youve managed to cover in just 4 weeks, especially being able to speak to your italki tutor!
i loved this video!
and yes, learning a language through another one you’ve already mastered enough is a good idea! it helps to keep your languages kinda ‘fresh’ in your head 😄
I'm also self studying 日本語 while working from home. This video I really an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing this.
You inspired me so much!! I'm still a beginner, and I totally agree with you on your method of studying. I'm studying in the same way as you. Congratulations for being that fluent in just one month.🤩🤩
i’m watching this now as my 1 month of studying japanese is approaching and my learning is exponentially decaying but this motivated me a LOT more to speak often so thank you!!! you were so amazing at it at one month of learning🥺
Omg i've been here in Japan in 2 years and still cant japanese too well, u r my inspiration. Im going to study a lot now. Love you 🥺
Thanks a lot Victoria, your video was actually helpful for me, as you put actual usable information.
Thank you I am really trying to learn Japanese and you have given me lots of revision tips!
I just started learning recently and you have definitely, 11/10 inspired me to keep going ✨
awww you did amazing, it's definitely inspiring to see what you can do in a month. very cool
Thank you very much. I hope I can achieve more in 1 month as well. This really inspired me.
I love watching how others learn their target language! I wish you luck on your Japanese language journey! Im learning mandarin and i definitely need to get better at it. Currently studying and reviewing grammar and i need to practice my listening skills. I will practice my speaking later since i know i will not speak to any chinese people at the moment (plus its so nerve wracking!!) Finally, HUGE thanks for the language extension! I was trying to find this for a little while now! :)
Edit: your teacher is so adorable! 😭❤ She seems amazing!
Fantastic video! Very inspiring and it helps my studying become far less intimidating in my journey to complete the N5. Looking forward to the next video!
The teacher/woman you spoke with was so cute! Very patient and encouraging 🥺🥺
I think it's incredible how far you got in just three weeks!! Keep at it, 頑張れー!
This is the video I needed 💜💜💜 I've been thinking about learning Japanese for years but I had to learn other languages for the different jobs I've done... Now in quarantine I need to learn German but this video has given me high hopes that after German I'll be able to start to focus on this quick guide. It was also very helpful to see you speak with the native speaker! Thank you for your effort 💞
You’re honestly so inspiring.
💗😘💗
Great video! Thank you for showing!😊🇯🇵🌸
Wow wow you've done an amazing job! I am just starting to learn Japanese myself, it's been about 2 or 3 weeks of *cAsUaL* learning, with lots of Anki flashcards and learning random kanji + hiragana and katakana. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your italki lesson, I am so anxious to even try that sort of thing so it's awesome to have an idea of what that might look like if I decide to give it a try :) ありがとうございます!

Well done. I have been learning Japanese for years and yes it is a hard language. I agree just absorbing yourself in the language via films and TV does help a lot. Keep it up

i’ve been studying japanese for a couple years with a combination of university classes + selfstudy. im impressed you were able to have a conversation after one month of studying, even if it was simple 😊これからも頑張ってね!応援しています
I just love the way you speak, present, edit, and many more thing I just got attracted to you and I subscribed ❤️
I’m just starting to try to learn Japanese on my own. Thanks for the tips.
This is awesome! I started learning japanese just for the fun of it and it became something I really enjoy now. Your tips are super useful! I’ve been doing the Anki flash cards and online textbooks but all the extensions are something I’ll definitely try. Thank you!
Glad the vid helped! All the best for your own journey :)
I'm a student in college rn and I was lucky enough to have more free time as this is my last semester. I just started this sem 3 weeks ago and that's when I decided that i wanna start teaching myself Japanese (One of my goals is to study abroad in Japan). Watching this video gave me the inspiration to work harder to learn the language. I'm amazed by how much you were able to learn in 1 month and that made me look back at how slow my learning pace hehe. After this, I'll try harder :))) Good luck on your language journey!!
This is amazing progress after one month!
I loved this video. I also started teaching myself Japanese over quarantine. I have never learned a second language before so I love to see how others study. Your video was very inspiring. You made a lot of progress in those 4 weeks.
what a second language to pick, Japanese sure isn’t easy for any learner, even advanced language learners haha. Keep it up! ☺️ it’s really rewarding in the long run :)
