Just to be clear, I gain nothing by promoting UA-cam premium; I just genuinely think it’s a good service.
If you accidentally watch some English videos on your target-language account, you can always *WIPE YOUR VIEWING HISTORY!* Find out how here: support.google.com/youtube/answer/95725
UA-cam Vanced on android lets you play youtube in the background without ads. You won't find it on the play store though.
@@oDHAOSo I was just about to comment this. I don't Matt should put that in his videos since UA-cam hates the app and aggressively will take down anyone who even lightly promotes it
Thanks, I can also download Japanese videos.
you can use brave browser and still play videos while ur phone is locked
@@wanderingdoc5075 I use pinyin
You said the words “separate account” and I facepalmed at how simple the idea is and I was mad I never thought about it 😅
I have known that one SHOULD do it for a very long time but I only did it the other day when I was looking for French music and it was more powerful than I thought.
It has all these cascade effects too, like, hard to go into in a comment, but yeah, you'll find the same effects,
Exactly the same here
As a UA-cam addict I feel dumb for not having thought of this before lol
Language and Programming Channel Same. I think this method is a good way to spend more time watching Japanese content
I did it. This channel was supposed to be a science channel. Nauka means science. Idk from where I got the idea tho. Maybe just because I subscribed to too many people on the other channel.
Oh and I want to experiment if my name "nauka" will feel natural, and has the same feel as my real name
I liked 5k videos in just about 6 months. I probably have already watched 20k videos on this channel lol
Almost all in English, that's probably why I'm able to type and understand English well
You are one of the few UA-camrs out there offering good language learning advice. Nice job.
That's absolutely right
Hey matt, I have been doing "MIA" for almost 2 years now(precisely 23 months and 30days.). My navite language is portugues and my target language is english, this means that I can watch your wonderful videos to immerse myself xD. I have watched all your videos a lot of times and you have helped me a lot. I started outputing a little bit after 1.8years or so. I may make a video of me speaking english and showing how MIA has helped me achieve great results in a short period of time. Keep up the good work. Love you Matt
wow, that's awesome! Are you learning Japanese as well?
@@calebmclarnon6211 nop bro haha. Just english xD
Another Portuguese native speaker here. You can count on me to watch it. Looking forward to it
@@gabrieldesouzaoliveira9556 thx mano =)
would love to hear you speak english considering how great your written english is
this is pretty much how i learned english as a kid. I would watch minecraft commentary videos in english all day which helped me slowly pick up on the language
its really crazy how many people in the world have been basically mia’ing english this whole time without realizing and yet they still cling to the old ways of language learning while trying to give people advice
You can keep UA-cam playing on Chrome for free, at least in Android. Open UA-cam via the Chrome browser, set the page to show the PC version, press play on the video and lock the phone. It might stop initially but just like a music player it will leave a notification bar on your lock screen with buttons, and pressing play there will allow it to keep going even after the phone is locked.
This is applying the path of least resistance when you're immersing leveraging UA-cam's algorithm...RAD! There's a reason why I keep coming back to your content.
I've been waiting for this, before I've just used private mode and set my country to my target language, this is a really good idea though! quarantine time immersion time
Matt is right. English is not my first language but thanks to UA-cam I was eloquent enough to skip a class in English. I am still the best in my class. My next goal is Japanese.
As someone studying Japanese - I'd like to add a helpful tip. As most of you probably know, UA-cam videos usually come with closed captions. More likely than not, the Japanese videos you watch will have closed captioning. However, more likely than not, these captions will be auto-generated. Good news, I've found a few Japanese UA-camrs who have taken the time to add their own subtitles into their UA-cam videos and into the closed captioning.
Example: Tokyo Veg Life / Miku Real Japanese (some videos) / Sayura Saying
Next step I recommend. You can extract the closed captions (google how) and add those closed captions to a reader of your choice - this will help you with your immersion, reading, and allow you to look up words you don't know (if the reader/app you use provides that feature of course).
Thanks for this Matt. These immersion tips are why I subscribed to the channel in the first place, way back when.
This is just what I'm doing with this account
Hi
As they say walk like a chicken through the fields and you will become a hen
@@animeandstuff5377 uhh I seriously didn't get that
@@midoriyanoutanch.8874 haha think u can trick me mr.sarcasm
That's a beautifully simple yet incredibly effective tip!
I did this with my Netflix Account too, it really does wonders
How did you manage that?
@@ThaThree Create a new Profile, go to Account → My Profile → Language. You should be ready to go!
@@danilosilvapereira9014 ah!!! But what video content are you presented with? The same but with Japanese titles?
@@ThaThree The new profile starts fresh. I mostly watch anime (and Terrace House) there, so the algorithm recommends me more related stuff
@@danilosilvapereira9014 not bad. If you had a VPN to Japanese Netflix would be the endgame
That Filthy Frank nostalgia though
really useful idea, thank you!
Very very helpful I've been using this channel for everything, one minute I'm listening to ラジオドラマ then dropping out the immersion next
Thank you, it was very helpful
never thought about it man. thank you, great video.
Thank u so much for the jp youtuber recommendations, I've found it hard to find good ones because of the english videos I watch and music playlist I have on this account.
Great video Matt!
heard this on the stream the other day and tried it out. i was having trouble finding interesting immersion material and this helped a lot. thanks.
I've done this for months now and I can confirm it works perfectly.
French youtube is big and amazing, a lot of content all the time.
LionRS2014 any channel recommendations?
@@luk8627 French youtube? lmao Mastu, Amixem, Squuezie.. Etc.. the list goes on and on
@@Eruptor1000 please, could you give some channel recommendations, and by some i mean, all you can recommend
@@dariollanos Bruh that sounds like a lot of damn work.. just go on UA-cam find a channel and start subscribing.. you'll get recommendations good channels. It broadens for you.
Pretty useful thanks Matt
no, I have never heard this tip before. thank you! it helped a lot😊
Good stuff. thanks man
Thanks, I'll try it out!
I've been debating doing this for a while, and I realized I clicked this video while immersing.
I think I might just go do that real quick.
Thank you man you are really cool guy
Really useful idea!
Great tip!
Nice idea
Tip: If you want to avoid logging in and out, you can use "Firefox Multi-Account Containers". Simply create a "Japanese" container and log in. Now on a "normal" tab you're on your standard YT account, but when you open YT in the "Japanese" container tab you're logged in to your Japanese YT account. You can be logged in to both your accounts (in separate tabs) simultaneously.
great idea!
Good stuff
Ah yes I should do that 👍
Wonderful plan
Oh my goodness this is awesome!!! I would always find it so annoying getting recommended English videos from a French video on my normal account. Thanks for this!!
brilliant
This is an awesome idea! I'm too lazy to handle dealing with multiple channels though. I, thankfully, am pretty decent at making sure I watch things in my target language because the channels I've subscribed to I can't find English equivalents for.
dope idea
Learning Ancient Greek. Your advice was so good I just subscribed to your JAPANESE channel.
Good luck vs Japan.
Wow
So simple
Never thought of this.
UA-cam is really powerful guys!
that's my main activity in language learning and that has helped me a lot :)
Wow such a good advice! I did it and it worked so easy! Yeah the videos not i really like but the goal is achieved. I think over time yt will find videos i like more. Thank you ^-^
Best channel on UA-cam
I live in small town in the middle of Russia and back in 2009 when I only started to discover UA-cam for myself, there was so little content in Russian so I pretty much had no choice but to try to watch videos in English. The majority of channels I'm subscribed to are in English and even though it's been 10 years I still don't have many recommendations in Russian. Never been abroad (not even to Moscow lmao), never met a native English speaker. But thanks to this happy "accident" now I can enjoy content in English and probably would be able to even hold a conversation if needed (even though I make lots of mistakes and may sound way too off :D)
Was about to ask what your favourite Japanese UA-cam channels were, and then I saw it in the description and heard it in the video at the same time. Well dang. Thanks! (BTW, new viewer here - came here from Dogen and very happy that I did)
I'm not an english speaker but i watch your every video. And so i can say, that your approach is 100% efficient. I have taught myself english and german and even if i can't speak fluently(just for now!), i easily watch netflix and english/german youtube. Thank you Matt for your work! :)
okay, i just did what you recommended and goodness me it's working. i've only been doing this for about 15 mins and i feel WAY more immersed than my typical one account method, and like everyone says here, I am also mad that i have never thought of this despite being a binger 😭
The best idea I've ever heard!!!!
thanks
Omg new Matt video. Yay, I dont have to rewatch the old ones today :)
MIA French - I actually do use a second youtube channel for french :D PS: MIA/AF(J)ATT for french is one lf the mlst powerful things that you could imagine, since the French are famous for their chronic incomprehensible slur tornado of words - but thats exactly why MIA works with French so much! Just in 80 days I am starting to differentiate more and more words, repping sentence cards and such and I already understand more real French than my ultra smart friends who studied French for more than 4 years...
So... Cheers ! I owe this to you :-)

UA-cam Vanced by XDA Developers for free youtube premium on android only ;)
UA-cam++ for Iphone or something like that.
dude this is genius!
what japanese youtubers do you recommend?
read the descryption
i didn't know it was this easy... i have only had a si gle account haha thanks so much!
Honestly dont know why I didnt think of this before, and I have youtube premium already so I'm gonna go and make that account. Thanks for the advice
woah i have separate accounts for other things but making one for ur target idea is such a great idea. i went and made 2 for italian nd japanese and subbed to the channels u recommended even tho i have no idea whats going on in them lmaoo
Just an hour before watching this video I thought it would be a good idea to create a whole separate account. The fact that you just mentioned that it would be a good idea makes it all feel like I'm on the right path. lol
I did this months ago and then started subscribing to all my English channels again on that channel lol
Ok at least I realized this one myself years ago 💪:3
I'm surprised Mentalist Daigo wasn't in the description. As soon as I heard you say you'd be recommending youtubers I thought of him since you seem like you'd watch him. Good for high level listening practice too since he speaks pretty quickly.
Ahh I've been doing this for months and was about to make a video about it! Beat me to it
”I dont watch this guy lol"
Not an argument.
You have violated the NAP, prepare yourself.
I'm glad I waited to the end of the video. I have UA-cam premium but I didn't want to switch accounts because I didn't want to give up youtube premium. I had no idea you could have multiple accounts agle to access it from one email.
Thank you, I created a second channel and it worked great. Now I am roaming Japanese UA-cam and delighfully immersing myself.
This is amazing! Do you guys have any channel recommendations?
This was the first thing I did when I started active immersion haha
Hmm... never considered this. Good idea.
here it goes, I've been trying to get a grasp on this language for about 9 months now and still have not made much progress. Today marks DAY 1 of my AJATT journey. I finally got Anki set up properly last night and read through some of the AJATT table of contents so I can figure out what i'm supposed to be doing. I have a good feeling about this. Thank you Matt, for sharing your experiences with everyone!
you got this!
so, how has it been?
It's a lot of hard work, you are warned
Hello, I am a Japanese English learner.I started immersion learning after watching your UA-cam.
I'm having a hard time choosing the subject.
I will do my best from now on.
I’ve been doing this for a long time, and this is my account for English, but it’s already my main because i speak english fluently already and can just entertain myself here hahaha, i have also norwegian one
I've learning English just by watching videos on UA-cam and doing vocabulary.
UA-cam it's very useful to learn a new language.
this one if my English account and created it was the best thing that I could have done
Thanks a lot for the great tip!
Which Chinese youtube channels would you recommend btw?
Hope your language learning is going smoothly! 加油!
changing the country does it to all my accounts!
So when I change it to japan, when I go back to my main account it's also in japan
Same in the otherside if I put it back to my country, when going to my immerse account it's located in my country
You’re a genius.
This video was for me
You very much look like top-tier speedrunner MrLlamaSC bro
Thanks for the tips, youtube is a pain in the ass for putting background device playback behind premium, when I first noticed this I was bewildered I swear remembering being able to do so otherwise in the past. The good thing about being an android user is that you know theres probably an "an app for that" and well yeah, its called UA-cam Vanced.
Thank you for this advice!! Btw ..which country would you recommend for chinese beside from taiwan. Thank you !
I have been learning japanese seriously for about a month now. I have gone through everything on the MIA site and I am going to start with the recognition cards. I don't really know where I am in terms of skill level but I can understand simple anime like シロクマカフェ without any english subs and n5/n4 podcast on spotify to some degree around 70% I guess. My listening skill is way far ahead of my reading skill (maybe I should say kanji skill, because if things are written in hiragana I can understand them pretty well), this is probably because I have been watching anime and listening to japanese music for years although I never really was focused on learning the language at all, and also that I already have experience picking up a language through immersion though I never really thought it was a thing, I just had no real choice since I was just thrown into a foreign country and never had anyone actually teach me the language. I am not really sure where I should be in terms of the MIA level of studying, should I just go straight to sentence mining after kanji recognition?
Any recommendations for Japanese channels? Like news outlets or something?
Something not too distracting that I can have in the background while I work
I came across this English language video as it was suggested to me whilst doing immersion ....
lmao the stephen molyneux disclaimer....the shitstorm that could have ensued without it
Another useful feature with UA-cam Premium is that you can download videos which you can then listen to on the go without any connection to the internet! With this, I’m able to continue my immersion when I’m at work, running errands, going for a walk etc.
oh, this time I was faster, been doing it with this account for some while :D
Haven't watched an English video in a while. Hearing Matt speak English right now feels so weird lmao been listening to only japanese for 4 weeks straight
Sora is everywhere these days, not that I'm complaining lol.
The guitarist? or the troll?
@@anonymousname2651 They are indistinguishable at this point.
I did this ages ago for a different account. This current account i'm using is also for learning Japanese, but not strictly entirely in Japanese, although I still watch stuff in Japanese. I have 3 different account specifically because of the algorithm.
Nais
There is a trick to play UA-cam on the background for smartphone users (for android, did not test this on iOS), just open UA-cam on chrome, exit the app, and then just press play on the notification panel/lock screen ;)
Heh, you’ve been watching the lily healthygamer vid. Good stuff.
Have you ever heard of Marvin Brown?i think Aj Hoge asked you about his learning language theory but i’d like you to go into more detail about that..thanks Matt..as always your videos have very interesting contents..🇮🇹
You can also click 'not interested' for the random English videos you might get recommended. Just hover over the thumbnail and click on the 3 dots that appear on the righthand side. I've found it works quite well.
HOW DID I NOT THINK ABOUT THIS!?!?!
I personally have a channel for my native language and one for English, Japanese and Spanish. I am beginner at Japanese and i can understand Spanish cuz it looks/sounds a lot like my native language.
I’m actually upset I didn’t think of this...This wont even be good just for my L2 but also keep me from wasting time...
The best part is you've identified the approach.. Now, comes for the fun part of using the technique and just enjoying yourself.. The fact that you got upset means you're care so much about you're improvement, which is laudable.. All The Best!!
Amazing tip, I am just splitting off my subscriptions now but takes a bit of time to unsub and the resub on the new channel. I recommend people to use something like Firefox container tabs if they want to manage this more easily and don't want to keep switching channels.
