  • In this video I talk about my approach to language learning with a simple system of creating habits. I explain how to create habits for learning Japanese, what to learn and how to make progress during your studies. This is applicable to any language you may want to learn.
    Language learning is a lifelong commitment. Spending some time with your target language every day even if it is only a few minutes is the easiest way to become fluent.

    Studying longer hours is not necessarily better.
    Sprint may be better than marathon.
    By studying longer hours, you automatically become slower, you have to stop often to go to the bathroom, drink or eat or just rest.
    So by studying longer hours, paradoxically, you may be studying less.
    It may be better to study for a short period of time, but intensively and total focus.
    I have been studying Swedish for 3 years now mostly by translating song lyrics. I have translated almost 500 songs. I listen to the songs while reading the lyrics, I get vocabulary and pronunciation at the same time. It is a lot of fun and pleasant, I never get bored. I don't worry about memorization, I only care about understanding the lyrics. In the beginning I was barely translating one song in one hour. Now I can translate more than 8 songs in one hour. And I never study more than one hour per day.

    Hii! I really liked your video. I was kind of hoping to find some video giving advice about how to learn a language, but then I found yours. Then it came to my mind that these recommendations could also help me with another issue: my lack of organisation. For instance, sometimes I tend to forget things that I was about to do just because I didn’t follow any kind of order, so these are very convenient.
    On another note, I’ve enjoyed those brief parts where you drew the little stick men (2:40 and 3:58). I find them amusing and useful to explain your video. It’s a great idea.
    Also, if I were you, I would write on the video description that it may be helpful as well for people who are trying to organise their lives better.
    Finally, I was very invested in the video because the book you showed in the beginning has been on my reading-list since forever. I reeeally should start with it. Keep it up!

      Hey @mary_04, glad you enjoyed the video! You are absolutely right, the Atomic Habits approach James Clear describes in his book is applicable to a lot of other things in life 🙂
      Thanks for the feedback regarding the video description, I will keep that in mind!
      Thanks for watching!

    Very nice video. I am learning Spanish at the moment, and the tips will help me a lot. I definitely need to improve my exposure to the language, so I will watch more movies in Spanish now. I guess like this, it also makes it more fun to learn :)

    Hi bro. How many japanese words do you know now? And when you watch an anime episode (around 20 minutes length), how many new words do you come across per episode?

    • @johnbraat
      @johnbraat  7 місяців тому

      Not sure of the exact word count, but It should be between 12000 and 14000.
      Unknown words, or lookups highly depend on the difficulty of the Anime. I'm currently watching Jojo's and probably have around 0-15 lookups per episode. Some words I have already seen and forgotten, some completely new.
      Thanks for watching!
