    3) Speaking and Communication with real Japanese People (although this step can start from the very beginning)
    4) Writing Essays and Reading Japanese News Articles

    I think the actual most important thing in learning a language is that, just like everything else in the world, it's totally okay to make mistakes and it's totally okay to seek help when you don't know something, so long as you're trying your best.
    In this regard, the schooling system we've built fails miserably, as it fosters a negative environment where you may feel that "everything you do must be absolutely perfect or else you're an abject failure". This can be especially true if you have anxiety issues or you take your studies perhaps a bit too seriously or something like that. But thankfully the everyday world is not nearly as cruel.
    So in my opinion, one of the first and most important things to learn when learning a language is to prepare yourself to be wrong and to know that that is okay. It is a part of growing and nothing catastrophic is going to happen to you because of it somewhere as mundane as in a class or at a language exchange. The world is not a cruel closed book test being presided over by your least favourite teacher, but rather a partner or group research project where if you are willing to put in the effort, any decent person will be more willing to meet you halfway and help you out.
    Good luck in your studies everyone!

    Some psychological factor about learning language:
    There are 4 aspect learning language (RLWS - Reading, Listenting, Writing, Speaking) this 4 aspect devided to 2 groups, reading & listening r the aspect where you only receiving the language, the other 2 (speaking and writing) is completely opposite, you are producing the language by ur own knowledge. This is 2 completely different process in our brain.
    And mostly when we study, we only read and listen, well and few writing. In order to be able speaking in other language, we have to practice producing language spontaneously, either writing or speaking. But ofcourse best way is practicing to speak, bcs speaking requires to think faster compared to writing.

    このビデオをありがとうございます。I've been studying Japanese in Shinjuku for the last 2 years and I can only speak a little Japanese. I think the reason I don't use it very much is because the school pushes so much grammar and very little real conversation. They just say go out and start using it. My biggest problem is there is so much grammar in my head that when I try to speak, the grammar gets in the way and I freeze and stop talking. It's SO frustrating!

    • @yo2trader539
      @yo2trader539 2 роки тому +4

      We have the same problem in Japan when we learn foreign languages. (It's commonly said the language education since Meiji period was focused more on understanding foreign books, contract, manuals, etc...because the opportunity of having conversations was rather limited for most people.)
      Having studied English, German, and Chinese in Japan...I think it comes down to the same thing in any language. If you want to be able to speak, you should listen a lot of music, tv, youtube in that language. If you want to be able write, read endlessly.

    • @falco830
      @falco830 2 роки тому +2

      Don't feel bad, there are people that spend years and even decades in Japan and still struggle hard with the language. There are many cultural and grammatic barriers that keep Japanese and English learners from understanding and learning from each other. The real challenge is finding people to talk Japanese with in Japan, as ironic as that sounds it is much harder than you realize since the cultural barrier is usually what limits the social interaction.

    @geekexmachina 2 роки тому +214

    I think for me mt biggest barriers to language are Speed I find it hard to keep up with Japanese as the rhythm frequency is faster and I miss things while extracting the meaning. Similarly its hard to hear the separations between words sometimes. When learning and practising it is common for people to slow down to help you but this doesnt help when listening normal speed.
    So easy sentences are not bad and enough to get by but beyond that is more difficult. I also sometimes have vocabulary gaps in unexpected places. The other difficulty is my full time job gets in the way of study however i can cope well enough for a holiday but Im not likely to become fluent.

    I've been studying Japanese for over two years now even though I understand the grammar, know a lot of vocabulary, particles, verb conjugation and everything else I still struggle way too much when creating sentences longer than 5 words.
    As a native in Portuguese and Fluent English speaker I know exactly why. It's not just because japanese is a different language compared to latin and germanic languages it's actually because japanese speakers think about how communication works completely different from these other languages i mentioned, my japanese skills only peak when I forget about how i think communication should work and start to imagine like a japanese speaker and how he would think about communication.

    Point 1 is so true!
    I really thought I had to memorise all the grammar points before I start practicing how to speak but I’m really quite dumb(I can’t just study like this. I learned my times tables through songs when I was a child and I still recite them by singing the songs)
    I’ve realised I don’t remember what I’m supposed to say. (And I’m only like just over a month in, it’s only the basics of the basics)
    I’m self learning as I’m doing my degree and there are other things I need to remember. This makes it really tough to apply what I learn.
    Regarding point 2, I was so so so scared of burdening people since I’m such a beginner. I’m really quite thankful for my exchange partner on Hellotalk who didn’t mind taking some time off to do a language exchange and even run through the basics so I’ll be on my first call tomorrow 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

    I felt really stuck when learning with textbooks such as Genki. They bombard you with grammar but I don't know how to practice it after that. You have some excersices on the book but it's not enough to imprint it in your mind.
    Now I'm trying with the Pimsleur method and I'm drilling day-to-day conversations in my mind so at least I have some leeway when speaking. I'm finding it quite useful, and I just change the formal speech with informal speech and search on google how some sentences are constructed

    Tienes la razón por completo en las ideas que expones en este video! Me encantaría que pudiéramos practicar tu español al mismo tiempo que mi Japonés. Hace unos meses, recibimos en mi casa a una japonesa de Fukuoka y me ayudó muchísimo a mejorar mi nivel de conversación porque tuve que forzarme a explicar mi idioma natal en japonés y muchas veces tuve que comunicarme a través de señalamientos, aunque todavía me falta muchísimo gracias a que conviví con ella mejoré muchísimo y me encantaría volver a intentarlo contigo!

    That may explain why I'm still stuck in N4~N3, the grammar gets more nuanced and I start to feel like applying it on phrases apparently disconnected from context isn't enough anymore. I'm trying to keep reading stuff in Japanese, for instance, so I think I get a better grasp on how the language is really used. From my experience, grammar books usually do little in that aspect, you really have to go out there and practice with someone else until the grammar point gets stuck in your head. Also true for vocabulary. That was particularly why I learned English quite well, talking to people, as troublesome as it is sometimes, is indeed the thing to go for.

    Love your video. I was trying to find a video that is able to improve my listening skill. Some podcast is a little advance for my level. Yours is just nice. I once heard from somewhere, the easiest way to learn a language is to speak to the person who you are interested in/attracted to. That person was able to master the language in 6months (yes, master it) My understanding is that we need to put ourselves into the environment in order to master a language because we are forced to speak the language. We all should know that what is learned from textbooks is different from actual daily conversation.

  • @vampyresmiles713

    I have a double whammy against me when I speak. Even in English, I have a hard time understanding what people are saying sometimes, and I don't like my voice. So I don't want to talk out loud unless I have to, and I'll hear something and be unsure what exactly the person said in the first place. Having a conversation is hard and answering is hard. But I don't want to give up on learning other languages, especially Japanese. But maybe I'll learn sign language next and get around both issues ^^;

    That's great advice! However, I'm WAAAAAAY too scared to talk to people in Japanese, even if it's just writing. I'm mortified by the idea. I always hate the fact that I can't express myself properly, and that I look like an idiot. Maybe I just detest that I'm not skilled at what I'm doing. This is super dumb, and I have to break this inner barrier. I mean, I also was able to speak English at one point, even though it took me a long time. Only when I became proficient at reading and listening, I felt confident enough to communicate with it. But even then it was still a huge struggle in the beginning. For Japanese I really need to change my attitude, or I fear I'll never reach a useful level of proficiency...

      Japanese people are amazing and they are sincerely impressed and grateful even when you can speak only a little Japanese. So they'll always encourage you, always! I think one way to look at it would be, yes, I'm speaking like cr*p but at least I'm having fun learning new words in a language I love.

    • @lottevannoort1211
      @lottevannoort1211 2 роки тому +6

      I found that it helps if you practice with a Japanese person speaking English, so you can switch. You can ask them to talk back in Japanese as much as possible, so you can hear them speak. When you hear the nouns and subjects of what you're talking about it gets much easier to get into the conversation, and easier to talk back in Japanese. And even if you get most particles and grammar points wrong, if you just say words with a verb in the direction of what you want to say, it is already a great exercise to actively remember vocabulary and train your mind to start thinking in that language. And then if there is a specific word or sentence pattern you don't understand you can ask them to say it in English, which is very helpful.

    • @mojabaka

    • @ProvocativeSloth
      @ProvocativeSloth 2 роки тому +8

      It's worth remembering that Japanese is a niche language, in that there's only ONE country on earth where the language is spoken. Japanese people are often baffled why you'd even choose to learn Japanese. Then you tell them you love the culture, and then they feel genuinely flattered. So if you speak Crapanese, they're just impressed and will try to flex some random English words at you.

    I can watch this video without subtitles but couldn't hope to hold a conversation at any level approaching that for a long time yet.
    What you say is true though, in English teaching theory there's a lot of discussion around 'negotiating meaning' as an incredibly important aspect of language learning, and a lot of us miss that when we're sat in our darkened rooms analysing grammar.

    03:32 Same. I start out by learning the language, its structures, grammar, common expressions, and some extent of practical vocabulary that applies to my daily life and my interests. THEN I begin to try to form sentences to describe what I'm doing in my daily life while going about my routines, look up any words I have forgotten or have yet to learn. Once describing my daily life becomes easier, I move on to THINKING in said language (I limit myself to the vocabulary of that specific language), as a casual "game of daily life". NOTE: I take breaks from this "game" when I interact with strangers.
    When I have interacted with my surroundings, I try to think of ways to describe what this interaction was like and how the conversation may have sounded like in the foreign language I'm attempting to learn.
    Little by little, a few words a day (or one completely new sentence a day), through revision and challenging myself day by day, I learn a little more.

  • @emilyvalentine4565
    @emilyvalentine4565 Рік тому +3

    The "learn the grammar first" strategy really only works for people who have a background in linguistics in my opinion. For example if in Korean, Mandarin, and Japanese particles/ suffixes mark verb aspect, knowing what those are and how they are used lets you plug the particles into sentences very easily. If you don't know what those are though, the various uses could be much more confusing and it could be difficult to remember all the particles.
