“minimal kanji” is still 2000 different kanji tho, and most of them have at least two different readings. 生 has the highest number of different readings at like nine or twelve or something. so getting baqua level reading skills still takes quite a lot of work. *cries in japanese major*
@@moderth95 A few hundreds should be enough 'survive', like understanding signs, having no problem with shopping, transportation etc. Knowing 2000 is already at the level of some Japanese people / highschool students.
A great example of Aqua being Baqua. Tho i can't speak since i only know like 1 or 2 of the questions. Hi to the best host A-chan, 2nd gen - Shion, Friend, Aki, Neko, and HAI. Kinda want that Neko headband irl.
Don't worry! They´re purposefully hard. The kanji for America is unused and アメリカ (amerika) in katakana is used instead. Same with france and some of the others from here.
Its mostly kanji with multiple reading and it's not the common reading. Younger japanese usually won't use or see such words in their studies or daily lives.
Writing France or Paris in Kanji is definitely unusual, so that can be excused. Forgetting the Kanji for crocodile also makes sense, because it's often written in Kana, and how often do you read about crocodiles anyway. Reading 首都 as 都市 though, when both "capital" and "city" are words that an adult should encounter quite frequently, is 100% just Aqua being special.
See Japanese can not speak Japanese properly, "Maybe I should give up learning too...". Anyhow, this match up is actually interesting, because as Aqua is not good at reading Kanji and English, Ayame is very quick witted with pun and words, Choco-sensei is knowledgeable, so these two are already the best at solving Aqua "problem". If they can't answer then no one can.
Ayame and Choco-sen not only have to answer the questions, but they have to guess the questions as well XD
Aqua speaking language that no one ever heard. Event the translator need two years to translate this clip. Well done Aqua. Well done.
Ayame's Washington DC pronunciation was so good
This is amazing, I can't imagine answering questions asked by Aqua like that. Choco-sen is so knowledgeable.
Again Chocosen to the rescue decoding things lol
Having to deal with children on a regular basis for a prolonged period of time, obviously 😂
Ayame answer correctly out of no where, how smart
>the city of france is "miri" (Aqua)
>what is the city of USA? (Aqua)
Ayame: Washington DC
Nah. She got it right because the first half of the question was irrelevant. It was literally just; "What is the capital of USA?"
@@azerosblank5036 but still aqua didnt say any "capital"
Reading is hard for an onion...Thanks for all the Aqua subs! You're doing Gods Work!
This is what Aqua's BGM has done to her
I like to see more clips from old stream
At least what this tells me is I can survive in Japan with some minimal kanji xD
I studied Kanji but when I saw the mixed Kanji readings... I felt that I wouldn't be able to do much better than Aqua, maybe even worse xD..

@@moderth95 Ahh yes, 生... I'm only at the 1k Kanji since I've only started to study last year.. Gotta go to 2k Jouyou Kanji next year..

i'm really impressed with choco understanding any of this 🤣
Just found the channel the other day and I gotta say The intro is fucking golden. I just cant get enough...
I’m kinda embarrassed that ayame answered “what is the capital of the USA” correctly first than me, I said New York XD
Lmao
I also answered New York too😂
Oh wow a clip from a 2018 stream. Aqua's Japanese isn't too bad, she'd be the 3rd best in Hololive English.
Aqua is doing her best www
That ending fit the whole video perfectly
Gigantic brain onion
haikyu gosen
Baqua strikes again.
A great example of Aqua being Baqua.

Kinda want that Neko headband irl.
The kanji in this video gives my Japanese learning brain great levels of fear
I'd say "Relax! Even an onion can read it!", but she can't. So best of luck, I'd guess, Hingle McCringleberry?

Me can't read Japanese
Aqua as Japanese herself can't read Japanese too
Wth! That's my role!
Wait isn't ojou and choco-sensei really good ??? That's barely a question 🤣🤣
damn it. 1st question and i already spat my coffee. i should've listen to choco-sen that they are worried about smth.
this is so cute haha
Nice
Baqua strike again
The ultimate reason to learn japanese
were they using especially obscure kanji or is aqua just special..
Yes

Nihongo hardo
Lesson of the day: Kanji is hard

Wait, why was it too hard for her to read? Her japanese reading comprehension can't be that bad....or am i missing something here?
kanji can have multiple meaning i quess.....
I think it's rarely used kanjis. Some of the words like France, Paris, USA, crocodile are most of the time written in kana.
No hahaha kanji is just so hard as it can have different meanings
she's... she's japanese, right?
Nothing new to see here... just bakua as usual
