    31:25 I think it telling you what the sign says is the feature that is disabled due to a bug.
    Edit: Just looked at one of the videos on its steam page and it most definitely is. In the video, they look at a poster and it gives the japanese audio and writing in plain text with the english translation next to it. Hope that gets fixed soon.

    One of the most surprising and amazing things about learning a new language to me is how you’d go from not understanding a single thing let’s say in a song to understanding the meaning of it. It’s mind blowing to me how with enough practice you can completely change how you hear and see things. This game looks amazing!!!

    A game like this is exactly what I was looking for when learning Japanese. I’ve wanted to learn Japanese for years now and have been trying but losing interest multiple times do to it being difficult and boring (due to your typical books and straight forward lessons) but a game like this that actually keeps you engaged and entertained is what I needed. I hope the devs continue to add upon what they have made here!

    • @drawingdragon
      @drawingdragon 10 місяців тому +1

      At some point in the past, the Japanese language adopted the Chinese Kanji into their alphabet - but since they already had their own words for the ideas those Kanji recognized, they just attached their own existing words to the symbols; that's why they're pronounced differently.
      I don't know anything about Chinese; I'm curious if most of the ideas are the same even if the pronunciations are different? Like can you understand the symbol for "mountain" but just pronounce it differently?

    It would honestly be really cool to see more players and youtubers play games related to language, a lot of them are very interesting on the planning and the way the creators can make a whole new vocabulary using unique symbols
    If you'd like to see one that's focused on discovering and understanding unknown words, I could recommend "Chants of Sennar", it's pretty fun, don't know how much do you like puzzles and stealth missions but it's still a very fun game

    This game is ADORABLE.
    I've been learning Japanese just very casually over the last few months, mostly alphabet and grammar, so I'm struggling a lot with vocabulary and pronunciation because I've been doing mostly textbook stuff. This looks PERFECT for just moving at a casual pace for fun and making your own little memory games out of it. I missed how much the game costs, but I will probably give it a try, especially if they're still working on it and expanding it!
    Also the borrowed English words pronounced in Katakana was one of the funniest things I didnt expect about Japanese lol. The amount of words that are just English words pronounced in a heavy Japanese accent was unexpected and honestly really funny. The onomotopeia are hard to remember at times but also really interesting; I didn't know "fuwafuwa" for "fluffy" and that's adorable

    Mike might be the only person who learns japanese because of anime whose journey I actually respect because he takes it seriously, he dives deep and doesn't just learn the usual shounen terms, he's not a show-off and thus not annoying. ofc if you're like this too I feel the same. this is part of why I hate the sub vs dub argument, people who argue against dub are the people who are annoying about speaking a little japanese, and I prefer dub because I don't want to learn japanese but I want to understand wth is going on, and I'll admit it, I'm a slow reader. But honestly this game looks so fun, if I ever change my mind about learning japanese I'll be sure to buy it. Better than the owl app for sure

    7:50 that is actually quite wrong. When I started learning japanese I was looking for some tutorials and tips/tricks and I stumbled upon some chinese girl that tried to learn japanese kanji in a month (or something like that) and she actually tought it would be really easy because chinese has kanji too but aparently they are different so she had trouble with it too.

    • @drawingdragon
      @drawingdragon 10 місяців тому

      Basically, a very very basic explanation is that Japanese consisted of Katakana and Hiragana alphabets already - then after coming into contact with the Chinese, the Japanese language adopted the Kanji symbols. BUT since Japan already had its own words for existing Kanji, they simply took the visual symbols but attached their own original Japanese pronunciations. They didn't do this for every single Kanji, and instead adopted some of the Chinese pronunciations too, which is how you end up with multiple pronunciations for Japanese Kanji. And then of course over time, the Japanese language adapted like any language so you end up with compound Kanji that dont exist in Chinese, or Kanji that are archaic in one language and still used in the other...
      In short, a Chinese speaker might RECOGNIZE Japanese Kanji as looking similar or even identical to their own Chinese Kanji, but it's very unlikely they'd be able to actually translate it 1 to 1.

    • @BijuuMike
      @BijuuMike  10 місяців тому +4

      Well if she is trying to do something like that in a month of course its going to be hard. I never said its super easy necessarily but they do use a lot of the same symbols so its a huge head start when you compare it to an English vs Japanese. At least with Chinese and Japanese they do have overlap in terms of reading. When it comes to speaking its a completely different story.

    Learning a language is hard. I used to have bursts of "ooh, I'm gonna learn this language, and then this one and that one..", and it didn't really get me anywhere. I guess for pepople like that, you should pick a language or two to be the main ones that you're gonna learn, try to focus mainly on them and take your time.. I would totally be interested if Bijuu started teaching japaneese though! that would be more effective than doing a lesson on duolingo once a year......
    Also I really didn't expect getting scrub of the day!! I'm so happy I won't be able to get any sleep-

    But when writing there's no skipping that and it huuurrts, atleast the japanese keyboard spares me by giving me the kanji when i write it in hiragana ,but if i write it on paper it takes alot of time which's alil frustrating at times. But when you break down some kanji into parts you see repeated across them i found that it makes it easier !
