Hi I am a native Japanese. Many thanks for learning Japanese. Do not worry, everyone is the same level, I mean from zero, when starting studying foreign languages. Especially listening and also speaking skills. Just find your favorite UA-cam channels for learning Japanese.
I honestly think that doing Japanese at a university is the worst way to learn Japanese. Sure you may get an N1 at the end of it but it is only an N1 in paper.
I think studying from books makes language study harder. The impression of knowledge on the books so weak, it doesn't stay in the memory. You must already memorize "Kamado Tanjirou" or "Urokodaki" without effort. If you see the anime, you can't forget the faces of them. And their names are said repeatedly, no need to struggle with learning. Kamado=furnace(which is related to fire) uroko=scale taki=water fall(which are related to water)are not the knowledge that is hard to remember, I guess.There're many such words and phrases you can easily learn on the internet.Many a little makes a mickle.
I agree! If it’s enjoyable or something memorable, it sticks without effort. I’m going to be trying the “watch anime and Japanese sitcoms” method to see what sticks with me :0
The best way to pick up on a new language is putting yourself at the level of a small child. Just think of the way babies pick up on a language. You don't live there, so learning the language by practicing it continuously is not an option, so go with the second best option. Just listen to lullaby's and children's music and reading books for children with lots of visuals in them.
Sarah Loves Japan i’ve heard of an app where you could trade practice with someone who wants to learn english. They’ll do 30 minutes practice in their language and you could do 30 minutes practice with them in English, i think thats free, and you pay if you spend the whole hour learning their language. I can’t remember what the app is called though.
If you're still struggling you should check out Matt vs. Japan's channel, his Mass Immersion Approach is by far the most natural and best way to pick up Japanese. It's working great for me!
I also plan to move to Japan one day. I would like to live in Hokkaido for a few years. Ideally though, I'd like to settle back down in Central Texas. It's the only place I can see myself raising a family. ８月に北海道に行きます！
That’s awesome!! I’m not sure where I’d want to live in Japan yet, I think Hokkaido is too cold for me 😅 and I think the same way about Texas, but who knows! I may love Japan too much and have to stay!
@@SarahLovesJapan I think I could learn to handle the snow. I just like the fact that it's a different Japan than what most people experience. It's not the human anthill that is Tokyo or Kyoto. It's not the subtropics that are Kyushu and Shikoku. There's also the Ainu, which I find very interesting. Most of the places in Hokkaido actually maintain their Ainu names, just written with Japanese characters.
Don't worry Sarah-san.If you go to Japan you'll learn Japanese much quicker than you think and be able to speak(understand) Japanese in 1~2 years.There are many ''senpai'' from English speaking countries and some of them are very good at Japanese .Nowadays about 10 youtubers(girls)from Russia ,making videos only in Japanese,maybe learned Japanese for 2~4 years before they came to Japan.

Great advice. I’ve thought of this method before, I’ll probably try it in one of my videos!

Wow thank you so much! 💕
