Biblical kaomoji
There's an AI on Line called りんな you can use her to practice. She uses a lot of texting slang.
“Which keyboard should you use? QWERTY. You’re going to use the QWERTY keyboard.”
I literally laughed out loud 🤣🤣🤣
This is very grass like the kids say
When I started to learn Japanese I made myself use the flick keyboard early on and now I'm pretty fast at it. It's so simple that most people could learn it as fast as they learned hiragana.
*hi five*
Given that I suck at using a qwerty keyboard (on mobile/desktop) despite having a CS background, I have massive doubts that my flick keyboard attempts would pay off if I stuck with them, haha. With that, impressive work 🫡
I didn't know you could use qwerty until this video, and I've been using the flicking one all this time. The key is on using the suggested words at the top
This video needs to be more popular

日本人です。外国人の友達のために分かりやすく説明しているビデオを探していたので、これを見つけて驚きました。
私の友達は、私がフリックキーボードを使ってるところを見ていつもびっくりしてます笑
あと、最近あんまり顔文字を使う人はいないかも。共通の絵文字が普及する前にメールやインターネットで流行った古い文化だから。
とにかく、とても面白かったです！
LINE関係の話でいうと、「How to end the conversation in Japanese with text chat(Especially on LINE)」を友達と議論していたので、それを海外からの視点で解説してほしいです！
役に立ててよかったです！顔文字は確かに絵文字やスタンプみたいに使われていませんね。とはいっても、たまたまLINEで使う人はいるし、オンラインではある程度使われていると思うし、動画に入れることにしました。まあ…それよりも個人的に顔文字を気に入れているから色んな人に使ってほしいという気持ちもありましたけどね笑「会話を終わらせる方法」に関しては「相手を無視すること」は一番流行ってるのかな笑
4:48 After finding out about Japanese flick input, I was so impressed with it that I installed a third-party flick keyboard for English called MessagEase. I can now personally attest that flick input is truly optimal, and I can type faster on a phone now than I ever could before, with just a little practice...
...Problem is that this only applies when I'm texting in English. My Japanese flick input typing speed is still around 0 WPM.
にょろーん
haha, that sounds interesting. The way everything works in Japanese seems to make a lot of sense given how spelling is so consistent and most sounds come in pairs. Is MessageEase like the steno machine of phone typing? Yeah... there is some small part of me that is like...hmm... maybe its worth learning how to use the flick keyboard... And then the pragmatic part of me is like, I'm not slow at typing in Japanese in the first place and I'm not entering some competiton, so what is the point, haha. Also there is the benefit of being able to use the same key board for all languages. Especially so when you want to type romaji in Japanese (which qwerty is made for).
@@lazyfluency I'd say that MessagEase is a lot easier than stenotyping (not that I can stenotype). The tapped letters are the nine most frequently used, and the flicked letters are all bunched together in the middle. Japanese flick input on the other hand probably would've been easy for me if I'd had the gojuuon beaten into me since childhood, but in this timeline where that didn't happen... it's hard enough to think of れ as "ninth row, fourth column", let alone translate that to "third row, third column, then swipe right".
--Incidentally, MessagEase did create its own version of the Japanese flick keyboard, but that layout also frankly looks like an absolute pain to learn. If MessagEase made a romaji-to-kana/kanji keyboard, then I'd be all over that, but alas, they have not.
PS: At least for me, input methods and keyboard layouts can be pretty interesting or fun to learn to use, to learn about, or even to design, even if there's no real point to any of it. Useless skills and knowledge is the spice of life!
@@Erikatharsis hmm, I'll have to look into MessagEase as its hard to imagine. Honestly I suck at any and every keyboard tbh. Despite majoring in CS (and Japanese), I still have a slow ass typing speed for what I should have (60-70 WPM). I assume that not thinking of れ as two characters put together helps a lot... But as a native English speaker... yeah, that's never going to happen. I'm all for learning impractical things, haha. Japanese is hard enough as it is though, so I take the easy approach wherever possible.
A great video. If long paragraphs are a no, I'm making zero texting friends. 草
This video can also be thought of as a PSA, haha.
It works for SOME Japanese people , trust me lol. I’ve been texting one in Tokyo and we both send each other long ass Harry Potter paragraphs depending on the topic
wwwʕ⁎̯͡⁎ʔ༄
oh wow i didnt know that needy streamer overload was accurate
i honestly acomldated to the flick, i luv it
Not using emojis being compared to not wearing clothes to the grocery store. That just sounds like a loli-kami reference.
Don't know who that is but cheers!
Why this channel don't have tons of subscribers already whaaaatt
i am absolutely eating up your every lessons/advice video. I low the formating, condensed yet detailied. THANK YOUhhh for sharing your knowledge/experience on these subjects!!!
no prob!!
im enjoying your videos! the kaomoji tip was nice
Koomoji is lenny face! Haha my fave
(✿╹◡╹)
ワーイ♪＼(^ω^＼)( /^ω^)/ワーイ♪
Nice video, i learnt something new today)
I couldn't stop laughing while watching this video, nice job👍
Thanks Joey and Ayami 。Now we know how make Japanese boys and girls knees weak through line stickers 😈
Yessssss you can buy any stickers you like on Line sticker shop to either intimidate or please people 😏-Ayami
めっちゃおもろかったよ！^ ^
(人´∀`).☆.｡.:*ありがとぉ☆彡(*´ω`*人)
日本語を最近ん勉強しているだから、この動画は面白すぎてよー😅
冗談ぽく色々説明してたけど、情報は事実に基づいてます。ご心配なく！

@@lazyfluency大丈夫!この素敵な動画を作ることがありがとうございます!
ありがとうございます
Haha I was using the flick keyboard and it was such a pain. It was such a relief when I finally caved and just used qwerty.
すごい~ありがとう😆💕✨
Commenting before watching the video. Died at Megalovania text noise. Continuing on.
That was actually just a coincidence... or was it??? 🤔
Ah! This vid was worth the wait!
Awesome job on the sound effects!
I didn't get the 笑 thing. Why is 笑 abbreviated as "W"? Because of the pronunciation? Isn't it the opposite of abbreviating to switch between languages just to abbreviate it?
I love kaomoji! Especially because when i started communicating online that was the only option. Also, being a westerner, i always assumed "emoji" is some Japanese mispronunciation of "emotions" (╯_╰”).
What keyboard do you use on desktop? Virtual keyboard?
Yes “w” came from 笑う(warau)
We used to use 笑 and w first, and 草 came out later from ネット民!! -Ayami
Glad you enjoyed it! As is apparent at this point, I'm still doing a lot of stylistic exploration. Although I like 2d animation and sfx, it is very time consuming. The thing that actually took the most time in this video was making keyboard models for each type of keyboard so that I could animate the keyboards in whatever way and speed that was necessary. The previous youtube channel I ran was actually 100% 2d animation, and so working with film and being on camera has been a big shift, haha.
Weird instances like this W situation is one of the reasons I put romaji in the first video on this channel as part of Japanese, haha.
Desktop is no different for me than text. I use a qwerty keyboard.
Joey
I actually love the flick keyboard, and it's the only way I type in Japanese on my phone! I've actually been looking for one in the same style for western languages, a kind of superpowered T9 from olden days mobile phones.
Consider me officially impressed, haha.
@@lazyfluencyYou and a couple of Japanese people when we were in Japan! They watched me type and seemed genuinely impressed. And not just in a 日本語上手 way. I don’t think they had seen tourists type that fast before.
I actually recently participated in an escape room in Japanese where a large part of the game was about typing an answer out on a tablet. I am obviously comfortable, typing in Japanese.... but not with a flick keyboard. Without a Japanese friend there that experience would have been 5× more difficult, haha.
Coming to here from an interview with Japanese girls who said how much they hate kaomoji from guys …
Woman just don't understand the charm ｷｬ━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!
flick is the best and easy. Took me like about 20 mins.
I think I just suffer from being bad at typing😂
This is surprisingly accurate
haha, despite my joking tone, this video was made in part through my experience texting a lot of Japanese people, plus cross checking with Ayami.
Joey
@@lazyfluency thank you for doing your job seriously and effectively, I love it!
I maybe just picked this up from my wife, but I tend to use a double 'Wara' -- 笑笑
If I don't want to meme it up and use a super cute grass stamp I have instead.
Bro this video could be 5 seconds long, all u need to do is type 50000 W's
I facepalmed so hard after 10:33 the whiplash bruised my fingers.
Goddamn that's stupid WWWW
I biggest fan JAPAN! ->(* ^ *)
I'll start calling it koomoji from now ^^ instead of Lenny face
so same as in every other lang, ok
yes, but no😂
if you do this on discord i will find you
I always assumed you had to live in Japan to use Line, for some reason.
Nope! Although as far as I know it is only really useful for communicating with Japanese people.
Joey
@@lazyfluency all of my Japanese friends are on fb messenger so I've been lucky thus far. Wonder if I should get line anyway 🤔 🤔 🤔
@@littlered6340 Any chance these Japanese friends live/have lived outside of Japan? As far as I know, Twitter, Instagram, and Tiktok are the most common forms of social media in Japan. In terms of messaging though Line is head and shoulders above any other option, as I said in the video, for people in their 20's, 97.7% use Line as a main form of communication. Kinda crazy.
@@lazyfluency most of them have only lived in Japan afaik, some of them have come to America. I'm guessing the ones I know just happen to use both, it's not like it would skew the numbers on Line if some Japanese citizens use FBM and Line.
Thinking about it more, the sort of Japanese people willing to communicate with foreigners probably have some other form of communication installed, so it might be self selecting.
Maybe i'm just dumb, but what is a period?
I can't tell if you're messing with me 😂
@@lazyfluencyit's just because english is not my mother language 😭
oh period refers to "." The punctuation you use at the end of a sentence
This is a very informative and helpful video about Japanese texting in today's generation. Big help for m ╰(▔∀▔)╯
Hehehehe.....日本語話せます
I mainly use flick cuz my thumb is big af
あやまひまやら
🥹 nothing learned but hey can't win em all
That's a bummer :(
This video was primarily meant for beginners, so I can see how it might to be basic for some. My most recent video might be more up your alley! (Also, the video I'm currently workkng on, haha)
