Thank you brother keep up the videos :)
Appreciate the support!
great Video King Han! Love the quality improvement. I don't have that much time to dedicate to learning Japanese I will definetly be returnig to this video when I have more free time! Keep it up!
So glad to hear it! Always appreciate your comments!🙏🏾
Came across the channel through a home page recommendation, great advice! Been learning for about 2 years now and moving to Tokyo at the end of the year.
Ayyy so glad to hear it! Best of luck with your move to Tokyo! Hope you learn a lot and make memorable experiences🙏🏾
Great Vid
King Han this is too inspirational!
Appreciate that brother🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great video. it would be awesome if you could make another video going into each step with more detail. for example a beginners guide to learning hirigana and katakana. anyways loev this new style of content!
Appreciate the comment! I’ll definitely keep that in mind. I’m thinking of keeping the nitty gritty details of the steps into YT shorts vids. Still experimenting with this channel tho. Nonetheless, appreciate your comment!
I 100% AGREE ON ALL YOUR POINTS! Those are honestly all really good. I've been learning Japanese everyday (like 2h a day) for about 5 months now, and even got my Japanese teacher teaching me every friday. I also go to events where Japanese and other people just have discussions in Japanese and English. I know pretty much all of the particles' uses (I still get が and は mixed up sometimes lol that shit's annoying) but I can understand and connect sentences pretty well. I'm pretty sure I passed the N5 level and can consider myself N4 level although I haven't taken the official test yet (but I passed my Japanese freshman class)
But yeah I can't emphasize enough on the immersion and speaking part. Like those are basically what you're gonne need the rest of your life. Conjugation, particle uses, etc are stuff you learn once and will use it but speaking and immersing are what you're constently gonna do. And I know it because as French native speaker that's how I learned English in a relatively short amount of time. It's basically like flowering a plant; you gotta keep doing it everyday or it's gonna die
I think the hardest barrier to break when learning Japanese first is learning the Kana. A lot of people at first think they're not as useful but they couldn't be more wrong lol, it's like saying we don't need to use our roman alphabet; without it you can't do shit 😂
But good points, I like your attitude too xD
Thanks so much for watching and for the thoughtful comment! Good on you for staying consistent and taking the initiative to go to language exchange events. and yeah the は and が had me so annoyed too at first so you're not alone lol.
I appreciate how you explained that learning the basics is a one time thing but immersion is an everyday for the rest of your life thing. This couldn't be more true! Immersion is the thing that keeps you progressing and moving forward. You can only learn grammar so much, but if you never actually SEE the grammar in immersion, then good luck lol.
And yeah I don't know why people think that they can away with only knowing romaji. Learning the Kana is not hard lol. I think for a lot of people Kanji is the main thing that steers people away from progressing in Japanese but even that can be learned with a proper system in place.
Your definitely on the right path and judging by how your English is really good, you know what your doing. Really impressive that English isn't your first language! Best of luck and lmk how you progress!
@@kinghan26 sure will, thanks! And good luck to you!
Very good video! I'm trying to get more serious with learning japanese and this was a pretty good refresher of what I know I should do but I'm not doing. I can't get myself to start immersing and I'm stuck doing nothing else but anki and watching content about language learning. Do you think I'm really ready for immersion if I know ~1000 words, basic grammar and general feel of the language?
Your definitely more than ready to start immersing!
You already know a lot of words and vocab but just haven’t spent enough time hearing and reading it in its natural state without English subtitles.
Understand that when you start immersing your going to have a period of time where you find it hard to understand anything and that’s totally fine. Get used to that feeling as it’s a part of the process. But because you already know a lot of words, this period should be very temporary. Of course your going to find new words but you’ll be able to understand a lot with what you know.
Your definitely ready to start immersing and I wish you the best! Hope this helps!
@@kinghan26 Well I guess I'll just have to give it a go instead of just sitting in my comfort zone of doing flashcards and watching UA-cam videos 😅
@dawt2098 I was in that exact same situation so I know how you feel. The sooner the better and the more hours you put the faster you’ll reach your goal.
Flash cards aren’t bad but they can’t be your only source of learning. Instead view them as a supplement to immersion.
Let me know how it goes!
my experience was a bit different. I partially immersed regularly for so long that when i started studying in earnest after 10+ years, i got to an intermediate level very quickly.
But the tips here are solid!
Hey thanks for sharing your experience! 10+ years is a hella long time so massive respect to you for doing that 🙏🏾
@@kinghan26 Thanks! Yeah, I've been actively studying since the very end of 2019, and though I haven't been studying much the past couple years, just talking to my wife and reading a lot, I'm around N3 probably?
I wrote out a long comment with all the stuff that helped me get started, but I think UA-cam though it was spam for some reason rip
Damn bruh rip. What were the main point of what you were tryna say?
@@kinghan26 I try again and leave out what I think got caught in the spam filter(which was probably a melon themed anime watching site lol)
pronunciation is really difficult if you have other patterns from your native language...
Who has recomendations for that?
Really the only remedy to that is just practice. My first language is French, and French people are known to have terrible english pronunciation. However when I moved to the United States (also went to an American High school) I had to talk english there all the time. If I'm not mistaking in about 5 months I had the english accent, but again going to school 6h a day for 5 days a week got me pretty far in English. It's not easy for sure, but doable
shadowing! listen to content in your target language (movies, shows, podcast etc.), then do your best to copy how they say it syllable for syllable, pitch for pitch. practice this overtime and you'll improve greatly.
