Hi friends! I know this is an old video but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the all the love and support that this video is getting. 🤗 I’ve been getting a lot of corrections on this video including the “こんにちわ” and my pronunciation and I appreciate all of it. I’d like to think I’ve gotten a little better now as I’m doing my best to constantly improve. ☺️ For an updated Japanese learning routine, please check out my newer videos: How I Study Japanese for JLPT: ua-cam.com/video/fZSUKkpYOno/v-deo.html How I Study Japanese Using Online Materials: ua-cam.com/video/CX5uFciGKOU/v-deo.html My Daily Study Routine for Learning Japanese: ua-cam.com/video/jUDO7HUTIgQ/v-deo.html Again, thank you and stay safe always my dear friends! ❤️
Thank you so much! I started teaching myself hiragana/Katakana while in quarantine and I would really love to be able to speak Japanese one day because, to visit Japan has always been one of my Life's dream. Hope it sismt too late.
Thank you for this video! I've been teaching myself for 2 years now, but I gave up almost 6 months ago just because I got busy and burned out. This is the motivation I needed! どもありがとうございます！
My three reasons for learning Japanese: - Anime without subtitles - Learn a new language and acquire knowledge (which is always good 😉) - Traveling (someday) to Japan
I'm Chinese, I've been studying Chinese for about 11 years now (I'm 16). One trick I learned to practice Chinese or Kanji is to just write them as small as possible. You're so focused on trying to write them that you end up focusing on each and every stroke. Use this trick if you want to practice or when you want to improve your handwriting. :)
I like your last name!! Also, I write pretty small already and look forward to learning Kanji later on after I master Hirigana and Katakana >,< I just got to stay committed to do so.
@@soyal__exome4157 Good luck! Also, people sometimes confuse my last name sometimes lol. One time a Japanese person told me that my name meant "lotus(?)" and it took me a while to know they were talking about.
@@soyal__exome4157 I've only really attended weekly Chinese classes so I'm too familiar with other programs. I guess you could try things like Duolingo or watch UA-cam videos. For beginners, the hardest thing to learn I think is the basic characters and radicals. They're some of the most important things to focus on first, even knowing a few can help you learn a lot faster. As for grammar and pronunciation, read some books or essays written by Chinese students. Listen to music, watch TV shows and films (I tell myself to do this more but I keep getting distracted by anime lol). This probably doesn't exactly answer your question but it's more about how you're learning rather than where you're learning.
My reason for learning Japanese is because 10 years ago, I had a childhood friend who was a Japanese. We used to hangout a lot, until she returned back to Japan. Though she spoke perfect english, I still wish to communicate with her in Japanese. It's been 2 years since I've started learning, and I still haven't told her yet. We've kept in touch through out the years, and I'm travelling to Japan hopefully next year to meet her. I'm still at N2 level, but I hope to reach N1 before this year ends Update: My flight is on June, quite nervous now Update 2: We met last monday and had lunch. She was so suprised I ordered in Japanese, and kept asking me when did I start learning, even both her parents praised me to how good my Japanese was. She was sobbing in the restaurant when I told her I learned Japanese for her, and said it was the sweetest thing someome did for her. Update 3: We're dating now! Well, I haven't replied to this tread for quite a long time now. But I moved to Japan, and are living together with her. Its been a ride learning Japanese, to everyone who is learning. Keep on going! Thank you for replying, I forgot about this post Also, English isn't my first language so sorry for the grammad error 😅
to be real.. this is one of the better "how i study japanese" videos. it's hella budgeted and anyone with a phone and some paper could do these. really helpfull... and radwimps are fire!
Hello mak! Thank you so much for watching and supporting. I am so glad you find these tips helpful. Best of luck on your studying journey! And yes, Radwimps are fire! Haha. Stay safe always!
Try your local library! Maybe I am lucky because I live in Chicago. The downtown library has like 7 floors. And they have many books for learning Japanese. Hopefully your library does too.
Actually, going from Chinese to Japanese might be good! You know the characters in Chinese right? Kanji is like Hiragana and Katakana with Chinese characters! Like you do know “yi” right? (One in Chinese) So in Japanese one is “ichi”. Then in kanji, you can use the same character of yi, for ichi!
learning japanese as a chinese is a sort of upperhand, you can make good use of it (especially if you have the drive to learn japanese), even if you are uninterested its fine, just learn whatever piques your interest i guess also, im a chinese as well haha
Thank you for your comment! Means a lot to me! ❤️ I had a mindset when I first set foot to Japan that I will pass N4 on July 2019 and then pass N3 on December 2019. It was stressful at that time since I was juggling work and study but it was definitely worth it. ☺️ Anyway, best of luck on your studying journey! Stay safe always!
@@LifeofMori Thank you for reply! I see... I'm Japanese and I'm studying a foreign language about 1 year. Your video and your comment motivated me! I wish that good luck for your studying journey too! Thanks!
@@LifeofMori Is there value in watching anime with English subtitles? Some people say no, some say yes. What's your opinion please. I am just a beginner in Japanese study. With no English subtitles I am unable to understand much. Thanks. Shawn
Yall lets be honest that we dont just learn Japanese so that we could use it when we travel to Japan but instead we want to use it to confuse the heck of our relatives, fams, or friends and have that devilish smile after XD
Reasons I wanna learn Japanese -There’s a 75% chance I’ll move to Japan when I’m old enough :) So I’m just now finishing out about the government in Japan. Thank for those who informed me. I probably won’t be going unless my family decides.
my reason for learning 日本語 are •my goal is to learn 8 different languages •visit my good friend in japan and surprise her with how much i’ve learned☺️ •be more culturally diverse •AND BECAUSE IMA WEEB 😂
8 languages that’s a lot. I‘m only speaking two fluently studying one for 2 years now and studying japanese and Dutch for a few months. But 8?! Well good luck
I think it's because these people are more confident in their learning of japanese than your regular person that only uses duolingo or only has JPLT N5. Learning the characters is already halfway through learning the language when it comes to those that don't use italic letters.
It's brought up so often because, most of the time, it's the absolute best option. Being around the language that you're trying to learn helps you make more connections to how tone changes the meanings of the words. It forces you to pay attention and familiarize yourself more
Those reiterating that it’s the best option from an educational standpoint, looking at it in a vacuum, and mischaracterizing her actual comment, you’re avoiding her whole point.
Mori!✨ this was incredible! Thank you for sparking that want to learn japanese again. Loved all the music recommendations. I can’t wait to venture into them 🙏🏽✨
OMG! I’m a fan! 😍 Can’t believe you noticed me. Thank you so much for watching my video. I’m glad it helped you in some way. I also can’t wait for your next uploads. Stay safe always! ❤️
I would really recommend learning how to write in Japanese. Once you’ve memorized the symbols, studying gets easier and it’s really, really fun to write ^ - ^ Edit: I know it isn’t necessary… I just find that it has helped me because I’m a sensory learner. Do what works best for you!
@@mamaluigi6949 writing is pretty different to just using a keyboard. i will barely ever use handwritten japanese and i still memorized the writing systems lol
@@mamaluigi6949 yes.. especially if you don't have any basic writing in this kind of character. As for me I have basic skill to write kanji as I have learned Chinese
Reasons I wanna learn Japanese. -Anime -anime -more anime Actually Yes but no -I wanna learn it so i can flex how many languages I speak. I currently know 3 languages -I wanna listen to Japanese songs -The writing is so cool 😎
So much on the anime, I just started but it's entirely Anime-Driven. Now I can put all those hours to good use! If only I watched that many spanish shows...
ありがとうございます！I'm working on studying Japanese and this video gave me some great ideas on how to get out of the rut that I've been stuck in for a few days :) Your vibes are so cozy and pleasant, too!
I took Japanese level 1 this semester. I didn't expect it to be this hard and trying to remember hiragana and katakana has made me cried few times😂 but my sensei make it fun to learn. I'm not gonna give up! Nice video! Can't believe i just found your channel randomly. I'm subscribing! Goodluck to y'all who's learning Japanese
Try mnemonics for the kanas or apps. It helped me a lot. Things to google: Hiragana/katakana mnemonics tofugu Hiragana/katakana associations Apps: Japanese dungeon Let's write japanese Katakana master Good luck (☞^o^) ☞
@@Syhirahysf you're very welcome^^ I tried a lot of different resources for studying until i found what works for me, so if you need any other links/names, I can try and help
The main reasons I want to learn japanese - it's a hecka cute language (in my opinion) - so I can yell at people and they dont understand me - so I can flex ●~● - anime bois - I just overall really like japanese culture:)
Ay man if your learning japanese, personally I use this method called the mass immersion approach created by this guy on youtube called MattvsJapan. He has really helped me in drastically improving my japanese really efficiently and this might be helpful for you too.
reasons i wanna learn japanese: - it's a mandatory school subject... - for translating stuff, mostly music - i surprisingly have quite a lot of japanese/half-japanese relatives, talking to them in japanese would be pretty cool - so i can talk shit lmao
I really want to learn Japanese to just grow my knowledge and make me feel like I'm accomplishing something as well as indulging my interest in another culture and a new world. I know Arabic since I'm born in the middle east. So I thought that going on a journey to be multilingual might be nice as well. I'm just 14 but I do want to learn a lot and I'm interested in languages.
Reasons I want to learn Japanese: 1. I’m trying to learn more languages so I can travel after the virus is gone 2. I want to be able to understand Japanese songs 3. It’s something to do during my free time 4. I want to move to Japan in the future
@@Rabarbaraaa it is a reason but not as important to me than the rest of them :) plus I’m more used to dub since I usually do something else while watching anime
after drilling through Hiragana and Katakana, I'm beginning Kanji now, and I really have no idea what I'm doing!! I really have no idea where to start, but I'm grateful for encountering this video, it was a surge of motivation lol
Hello alyanna! I just recently read your comment. Thank you so much for watching and supporting! 🤗 It’s really hard dealing with Kanji for the first time. What I did was start with the Kanji’s from the JLPT N5 level. Now I’m studying Kanji’s from both N3 and N2 level. Best of luck on your studying journey. Hope this helps! Stay safe always. ❤️
I suggest starting by learning radicals. Wanikani has a pretty solid method and the first 4 levels are free without about ~100 kanji. It gives you a really good method you can use even if you can’t pay for the rest of the levels, so I think it’s worth a try
me wanting to learn Korean and Japanese but also ended up being lazy ㅜㅜ but thank you for this, now i want to stop myself for being lazy to learn the things i want.
RF Thank you so much! 🥰 I wish you well on your studying. I’m also focusing on Kanji right now as it is really the hardest part in Japanese. 😅 Stay safe always! どういたしまして！
Quick tip the 「ございます」part you only use when you are talking to your elderly or someone who is like your upperclassmen or something like that. Try using just ありがとう to friends or people in general except they are your elderly
My reason to learn Nihongo * TO TRAVEL IN TOKYO SOMEDAY * GET A JOB IN JAPAN SOMEDAY *TO WATCH ANIME WITHOUT SUB * TO STUDY AND LEARN TO DRAW TO BECOME A MANGA ARTIST
If u wanna draw ani.e and manga personally I think you should do your fav anime and manga ad well as 90s anime such as dbz or sailor moon The drawings are cute and are not very hard compared to the extremely detailed stuff
Thank you so much for this! I've been studying for about half a year now and I was wondering what more I could be doing to improve. My studying routine is very similar to yours, so I felt very reassured! Plus you showed me some new methods to try too! I'll make sure to keep studying every day. Thanks again!
@@diavens Well I've certainly fallen off of my studying since commenting on this video, but I've learned most of the basics. Hiragana, Katakana, and some vocab/grammar. But I'm slowly getting back into my routine, and that's gonna focus on Kanji!
It’s not really impossible, just incredibly difficult and not a good idea because you could mix things up between the languages. Here's a nice article on it: www.brainscape.com/academy/learn-two-languages-at-once/ Edit: Some people don't seem to realize that learning multiple languages as a child is far easier and much more achievable than learning multiple languages as an adult. If you learned multiple languages as a child, it's a different story.
I started learning japanese about a week and a 1/2 ago, and i’ve been currently losing motivation for it, but this just reminded and encouraged me to continue! I wanted to learn japanese so I could watch anime without subtitles, and sing some japanese songs that make me happy, thank you for encouraging me again!
Reason I want to learn Japanese - just because learning a language seems fun -To impress my friend and family -to visit Japan one day -every time I watch an anime that is in sub I don’t have to look at the caption
This is like UA-cam is threatening me to practice Japanese by recommending videos like these since I haven't practiced in 2 weeks. However, I love this video, and remember to keep up the good work! 👍
This has really motivated me. When I 1st started studying Japanese, I was doing great, but after 6 months I started slacking. I’m at a year of studying now, and I can tell I’ve learned a lot but I haven’t been consistent so I forget a lot of things. Thank you so much for sharing how you study! 頑張りましょう‼︎
Mori: i've been studying for over a year and a half and i've passed the test for n3 and n4. me who's been trying to learn for only a few days: sweating profusely
the aesthetic of this video is so cute! i'm a small youtuber and i am interested in learning japanese as my third language. thank you for this video 🌸 otsukaresama desu! (i'm not sure if i use it correctly here)
I stopped for a 2 months learning nihongo (had a 4 month streak) forgetting my inspiration and losing my motivation, good thing i found this vid really helps me to be pumped up to actually learn it again. Thank you
im only learing hiragana and i have yet to learn katakana but dont fret! language learning is not supposed to be stressful, take your time drink some water and continue learning! ♡
@@ducklingscap897 yeah, in Germany we learn at least 3 languages: German, English and French. In 8th grade you can choose between Italian and Latin as well (at some schools even Chinese and Spanish). But my lazy ass refused to start a new language, lol
a few of my reasons to learn Nihonggo is; 1. so that my family wouldn't have to spend extra money for a translator when we go to Japan haha (since i keep bugging them about it) 2. so that i can translate videos/tweets of popular/underrated japanese creators 3. so i can multi task while watching anime at the same time haha 4. so that i can make friends online and communicate with my favorite singers, artists, and seiyuus ^-^ your video helped me a lot! ありがとうございます！今日も明日もがばりましょう！(*^_^*)
Never lose that hunger to learn Japanese. Those are great/valid reasons, if I do say so myself... and I do. Hehehe! Good luck in your language journey!
There's this one Japanese artist that I really like and she's currently making a manga. There were no Eng translation for it. When I told her I hoped there's going to be English translation for it, she responded she couldn't afford to get an accurate one. I was saddened by it so now I'm trying my best to learn it.
This does come as a surprise when all you say is: 八時に学校へ行きます。 And your friends are like: WOAH! SO COOL! You are a great inspiration to my Japanese learning.
my reasons for learning Japanese: A. I love the culture and traditions (especially kimonos. SO PRETTY!) B. I plan to move there one day (like everyone else in this comment section) C. I don’t like English to be honest D. I have about 5 years of my life to waste so why not learn a language? E. ...as you guessed...ANIME WITHOUT SUBTITLES LOL F. To confuse my family G. bragging rights lol ✌️🙂✌️
@@Reforming_LL Mainly because I don't enjoy speaking and learning it. Japanese is the main language I use now simply because I enjoy speaking it much more than i do English. Sounds weird, I know.
why i learn japanese: - easiest foriegn language(my native language(korean) is very similar to japanese) - i luv its pronouncation - im language lover - it can be helpful since im a conlanger - beautiful writing system(hiragana&katakana) btw am i only learner who don't really watch anime? lol
Hello! Yes, studying Japanese will be easier if you memorize Hiragana and Katakana. Learning Japanese through Romaji or Roman character will mess up the pronunciation. 😅 Best of luck in your studying journey. Let me know if you have other questions. ☺️
I'd have to agree on this one. For one thing, you won't mess up the pronunciation. Properly pronouncing the words is a big step in the right direction.
My inspirations for learning Japanese! • I want to live in Japan + work in Japan when I'm older • I want to speak multiple languages, including Italian, Spanish, and Korean (I only speak English and French) • I love the Japanese culture so much. I really wish I was born in Japan 😂 • Bragging rights ...💀 • I want to listen to Japanese music / write music in Japanese / write stories in Japanese. It *looks* cool, and English is really basic and kinda ugly :') So yeah, those are my reasons for wanting to be fluent in Japanese! I have a long way to go but I anticipate the ride :) 🤍
Latina learning Japanese here lmao- aight I just started learning today (on duolingo 😳). Ima write some of the stuff I know with hiragana :) “くもり” “なつ” “よる” “やさい” “しろ” and “くろ” (which translate too uhhh- “cloudy” “summer” “night” “vegetable” “white” and “black”). I only know about 1/4 of the hiragana alphabet (is that how you call it?). Anyways wish me luck ya’ll ✌️🤪 im bringing takis to school tomorrow if y’all want some 😏😏 my reasons are: •For flexing (you don’t see latinas speaking Japanese 👀) •Ill feel better about myself •I get jealous when I can’t understand someone •I have no idea where to start but I always like starting fresh •うんち
You should try Imabi (Website, Lots of vocabulary and grammar explaining) Has helped me alot on understanding Kanji, sentence structure, particles and more. Also use Anki for flashcards, it helps in remembering kanji.
12:12 "If you are planning to start a new language, this is the sign you've been waiting for" It starts with the kanji 左右 and I can't make out the rest :D
hiii, i just wanted to let you know that “konichiwa” is actually spelled こんにちは i was surprised when i learned this because it’s “ha” instead of “wa” but pronounced as “wa”. i hope this doesn’t come off in a condescending way, i just wanted to let you know :)
@@petrichorrs This is 3 weeks old so you might have found out out already but incase you haven't... こんにちは derives from 今日は 。今（こん）日（にち）は（助詞 particle). I don't know why the spelling changed but this is why it's spelt the way it is, because は kept its spelling as a particle. However there are a few native japanese that spell it like こんにちわ
• My reasons for learning Japanese: - So i can travel to Japan one day - so i can understand their culture better (bc Japanese culture along with Chinese truly fascinates me) - So i can learn a new language and be proud of myself
marga Yey! So happy you enjoyed the video! 😍 Please excuse my squeaky voice. I just love NiziU’s song. Haha. The drivers here are really kind. They teach me Nihongo, and I teach them English in return. 😄 Good luck on your studying journey. Let me know about your progress! Stay safe always! ❤️

This is the best "How I study Japanese" video I have ever seen. I really want to be a professional surgeon in Japan that is why I am studying nihongo. I also want to become a voice actor in Japan but uh, I think its a no-no for my fam. I've got a loooooong way to go but I believe that I will make it. You too! We can do thisss hihi

I have a question for you. You say you want to be a surgeon right? Then I want to a an ultrasound technician and I want to go to Japan in an internship. Is that possible? I mean I live in US. I don't know if anyone knows... I'm also learning Japanese 😊
My inspiration for learning Japanese is: Watch my favorite romantic movie without subtitles and *cry in Japanese* 😁😂 I like that movie since I was 11 years old and now I'm 16 and I think that gonna be my favorite movie forever😁
Hello vilu isi! That’s great to hear! Would you mind sharing that movie to us? Sounds like a great movie. ☺️ Anyway, best of luck on your studying journey! Stay safe!

And I love Japanese culture!
Wow!your japanese voice is look like a native speaker.I also want to fluent like you.I'm also learning japanese.I started learning japanese last 6months ago.Now,my level is N4.When you write Kanji,i am so amazing like oh!You can write Kanji quickly,but I can't.So,I feel a little bit dispressed. Your video makes me feel encouraged to continue japanese.Thank you very much for explaning how to continue your japanese.
My reasons for learning ✨日本語✨ are: • Because I want to watch anime without subtitles. • So I can read manga without translation. • Because I have family living in Japan and I want to visit them someday in the future. • And so I can learn a 3rd language. Thank you very much for your video, I really enjoyed it :-)✨
I really liked what you've made for all of us. I must admit that my notes and notebooks are way too simple compare to yours hahahhaa... This 2021 I decided to learn Japanese apart from the one I'm already studying, which is English. I'm currently studying English pedagogy (this is my 4th year). My reasons to learn Japanese are as follows: *Learning languages has become important to me 'cus it helps you understand more about yourself and who you truly are. *Japanese culture is quite interesting and I really enjoy watching anime and movies in Japanese (Always with subtitles). *Japanese is totally different from my mother tongue (Spanish), so it becomes not only a challenge, but also a motivation for me to undestand how languages are learnt if you put effort into it. *I want to demostrante to my future students that you can learn anything if you are willing to do it. And more importantly, I wanna learn Japanese using a variety of tools and in different ways to use them in my future practices, so my students will never get bored at all hahahahaaha. Have a beautiful 2021 and enjoy the little things. And always remember... Practice makes Perfect

Your handwriting had me floooored. It's amazing
Hello Kiki! Thank you! This means so much! ❤️ Stay safe always!
@@LifeofMori what sort of stationary you use for studying Japanese can you please answer
Ture. My handwriting looks like a kid randomly drawing symbol or writing his imagining language. I'm just a beginner though.
Ikr. I have a hard time writing kanji in a smaller way as the other kana since they have more details.
kool love hello! I am using a mechanical pencil (Pilot Super Grip 0.5) and then the notebooks are all from the ¥100 store (Seria). ☺️ Hope this helps!
The urge to study Japanese:
The fact I’m already studying Mandarin Chinese: *are you sure you want to confuse yourself*
Opposite for me, I’m learning Japanese but I’ve started to want to learn Mandarin Chinese 🥲...
Actually, going from Chinese to Japanese might be good! You know the characters in Chinese right? Kanji is like Hiragana and Katakana with Chinese characters! Like you do know “yi” right? (One in Chinese) So in Japanese one is “ichi”. Then in kanji, you can use the same character of yi, for ichi!
learning japanese as a chinese is a sort of upperhand, you can make good use of it (especially if you have the drive to learn japanese), even if you are uninterested its fine, just learn whatever piques your interest i guess
also, im a chinese as well haha
I'm Chinese and my parents don't want me to study Japanese bcoz of this :")

-There’s a 75% chance I’ll move to Japan when I’m old enough :)
So I’m just now finishing out about the government in Japan. Thank for those who informed me. I probably won’t be going unless my family decides.

my reason for learning 日本語 are
•my goal is to learn 8 different languages
•visit my good friend in japan and surprise her with how much i’ve learned☺️
•be more culturally diverse
•AND BECAUSE IMA WEEB 😂
good luck
8 languages that’s a lot. I‘m only speaking two fluently studying one for 2 years now and studying japanese and Dutch for a few months. But 8?! Well good luck

her voice is so cute-
for real! I was so impressed!
Step 1 for every video ive ever seen when someone is learning Japanese: Go to Japan, or live in Japan. Ah yes. Money I never possess
I think it's because these people are more confident in their learning of japanese than your regular person that only uses duolingo or only has JPLT N5. Learning the characters is already halfway through learning the language when it comes to those that don't use italic letters.
It's brought up so often because, most of the time, it's the absolute best option. Being around the language that you're trying to learn helps you make more connections to how tone changes the meanings of the words. It forces you to pay attention and familiarize yourself more
Yeahhh practice writing a page of Japanese a day and watch Japanese childrens learning shows on UA-cam helps me a lot
Those reiterating that it’s the best option from an educational standpoint, looking at it in a vacuum, and mischaracterizing her actual comment, you’re avoiding her whole point.
Most Japanese citizens are rascist so I don't think I can go there sadly
this comment section/video is the most wholesome thing ever

- so i can talk shit lmao

Hey, can I ask where you live that it's a mandatory subject for you? That's interesting!
@@isabel8352 indonesia! though it really depends on the school. some schools have german, some have french, but mine has japanese
@@chmnydktr Oh ok and thanks for answering. That's awesome :)
I really want to learn Japanese to just grow my knowledge and make me feel like I'm accomplishing something as well as indulging my interest in another culture and a new world. I know Arabic since I'm born in the middle east. So I thought that going on a journey to be multilingual might be nice as well. I'm just 14 but I do want to learn a lot and I'm interested in languages.
Reasons I want to learn Japanese:
1. I’m trying to learn more languages so I can travel after the virus is gone
2. I want to be able to understand Japanese songs
3. It’s something to do during my free time
4. I want to move to Japan in the future
Since Ururaka is your profile picture I was expecting the “none subtitles anime”
@@Rabarbaraaa it is a reason but not as important to me than the rest of them :) plus I’m more used to dub since I usually do something else while watching anime
For number four: Me too!!
Same i want to move to japan too
Same. I feel like the only person Thats not learning japanese because of anime. I actually hate anime
Why I’m learning Japanese:
Writing system
Culture
Anime
Bragging rights
Same😭well I WANT to learn
me too brother the most part i really want is bragging so i can look cool
@asdf I care but it’s fine if you don’t :)

after drilling through Hiragana and Katakana, I'm beginning Kanji now, and I really have no idea what I'm doing!! I really have no idea where to start, but I'm grateful for encountering this video, it was a surge of motivation lol
Hello alyanna! I just recently read your comment. Thank you so much for watching and supporting! 🤗 It’s really hard dealing with Kanji for the first time. What I did was start with the Kanji’s from the JLPT N5 level. Now I’m studying Kanji’s from both N3 and N2 level. Best of luck on your studying journey. Hope this helps! Stay safe always. ❤️
Life of Mori can you please help me on where to start!?!? So many places to start yet I don’t know 😔 also you’re Japanese sounds really good!
Have a book called nihongo challenge, you can begging for this its n5 and n4 kanji.
I suggest starting by learning radicals. Wanikani has a pretty solid method and the first 4 levels are free without about ~100 kanji. It gives you a really good method you can use even if you can’t pay for the rest of the levels, so I think it’s worth a try

*TO WATCH ANIME WITHOUT SUB
* TO STUDY AND LEARN TO DRAW TO BECOME A MANGA ARTIST

If u wanna draw ani.e and manga personally I think you should do your fav anime and manga ad well as 90s anime such as dbz or sailor moon
The drawings are cute and are not very hard compared to the extremely detailed stuff
But that's just how I got good. Drawing simpler anime that I was also obsessed with
Haha me too
we have EXACTLY the same reasons
Thank you so much for this! I've been studying for about half a year now and I was wondering what more I could be doing to improve. My studying routine is very similar to yours, so I felt very reassured! Plus you showed me some new methods to try too! I'll make sure to keep studying every day. Thanks again!
What did u learn so far? Kanji is the hard part for me..
@@diavens Well I've certainly fallen off of my studying since commenting on this video, but I've learned most of the basics. Hiragana, Katakana, and some vocab/grammar. But I'm slowly getting back into my routine, and that's gonna focus on Kanji!

It’s not really impossible, just incredibly difficult and not a good idea because you could mix things up between the languages.
Here's a nice article on it: www.brainscape.com/academy/learn-two-languages-at-once/
Edit: Some people don't seem to realize that learning multiple languages as a child is far easier and much more achievable than learning multiple languages as an adult. If you learned multiple languages as a child, it's a different story.

- i luv its pronouncation
- im language lover
- it can be helpful since im a conlanger
- beautiful writing system(hiragana&katakana)
btw am i only learner who don't really watch anime? lol
Not really, but there are really few people who didn’t attempt to learn Japanese because of anime.
nah lmao
Will things be easier after I memorize hirigana and katakana
Hello! Yes, studying Japanese will be easier if you memorize Hiragana and Katakana. Learning Japanese through Romaji or Roman character will mess up the pronunciation. 😅 Best of luck in your studying journey. Let me know if you have other questions. ☺️
I'd have to agree on this one. For one thing, you won't mess up the pronunciation. Properly pronouncing the words is a big step in the right direction.
me: already dominate hiragana and katakana in one day, the rest will be simple!
Kanji: 草
yeeees
Yes.
My inspirations for learning Japanese!
• I want to live in Japan + work in Japan when I'm older
• I want to speak multiple languages, including Italian, Spanish, and Korean (I only speak English and French)
• I love the Japanese culture so much. I really wish I was born in Japan 😂
• Bragging rights ...💀
• I want to listen to Japanese music / write music in Japanese / write stories in Japanese. It *looks* cool, and English is really basic and kinda ugly :')
So yeah, those are my reasons for wanting to be fluent in Japanese! I have a long way to go but I anticipate the ride :) 🤍

Ima write some of the stuff I know with hiragana :) “くもり” “なつ” “よる” “やさい” “しろ” and “くろ” (which translate too uhhh- “cloudy” “summer” “night” “vegetable” “white” and “black”). I only know about 1/4 of the hiragana alphabet (is that how you call it?). Anyways wish me luck ya’ll ✌️🤪 im bringing takis to school tomorrow if y’all want some 😏😏 my reasons are:
•For flexing (you don’t see latinas speaking Japanese 👀)
•Ill feel better about myself
•I get jealous when I can’t understand someone
•I have no idea where to start but I always like starting fresh
•うんち
You should try Imabi (Website, Lots of vocabulary and grammar explaining) Has helped me alot on understanding Kanji, sentence structure, particles and more. Also use Anki for flashcards, it helps in remembering kanji.
What’s Unchi?
The last point truly shows that you are a woman of culture. 😏
wait but why poop..? i’m confused ;v;
Learning Japanese seems cool! I’m stuck on learning that or Arabic, haha
YOUR HANDWRITING IS SO GOOOD!!
12:12 "If you are planning to start a new language, this is the sign you've been waiting for"

Love the video but no one is talking about the *important* thing- _Your singing is so good!_
hiii, i just wanted to let you know that “konichiwa” is actually spelled こんにちは i was surprised when i learned this because it’s “ha” instead of “wa” but pronounced as “wa”. i hope this doesn’t come off in a condescending way, i just wanted to let you know :)
Oh yeaa! I remember learning that and getting quite confused 😞
oh yea that it's because "は" can be pronounced both ha/wa right?
when i learned it that confused me 😭
its just a particle, it says that whatever is before me is the topic of the sentence/phrase, its also the most common particle
@@petrichorrs This is 3 weeks old so you might have found out out already but incase you haven't... こんにちは derives from 今日は 。今（こん）日（にち）は（助詞 particle). I don't know why the spelling changed but this is why it's spelt the way it is, because は kept its spelling as a particle. However there are a few native japanese that spell it like こんにちわ
• My reasons for learning Japanese:
- So i can travel to Japan one day
- so i can understand their culture better (bc Japanese culture along with Chinese truly fascinates me)
- So i can learn a new language and be proud of myself

I spent a few minutes admiring the handwriting, i really have to improve it. This video was very helpful ありがとうございます！
I really liked what you've made for all of us. I must admit that my notes and notebooks are way too simple compare to yours hahahhaa...
This 2021 I decided to learn Japanese apart from the one I'm already studying, which is English. I'm currently studying English pedagogy (this is my 4th year).
My reasons to learn Japanese are as follows:
*Learning languages has become important to me 'cus it helps you understand more about yourself and who you truly are.
*Japanese culture is quite interesting and I really enjoy watching anime and movies in Japanese (Always with subtitles).
*Japanese is totally different from my mother tongue (Spanish), so it becomes not only a challenge, but also a motivation for me to undestand how languages are learnt if you put effort into it.
*I want to demostrante to my future students that you can learn anything if you are willing to do it. And more importantly, I wanna learn Japanese using a variety of tools and in different ways to use them in my future practices, so my students will never get bored at all hahahahaaha.
Have a beautiful 2021 and enjoy the little things. And always remember... Practice makes Perfect
