      Man, this video was my first introduction to you and your content, and the fact that you're taking time out of your day to watch Athan's video and have that meet-up with everyone when you're such a big online personality really goes to show how genuinely down to earth and nice you are. Keep up the good work!

    Biggest thing to learn in learning Japanese is learning to pronounce the words correctly. No matter how you learn, always learn it out loud

    It’s nice to see you meeting new people despite being in a whole new country! If I traveled to a foreign country and wasn’t fluent in their language, I’d just hope nobody would talk to me😅

    I plan to move to Japan when I'm 18 years old, and I have been binge watching your videos and it honestly just gives me guidance and what to expect and what to do, and I'm so excited for my future to come. Thank you for these videos, you have no idea how much you inspire people.

    At this point it's safe to say I am binge watching your videos, they inspire me to follow my dreams because everyone here is telling me to forget about schooling in Japan mainly because of the language barrier but your videos inspire me and for that I want to say THANK YOU.

      yooo I'm so glad you said that!! that's exactly what I was hoping people would do! quick question for you, did the different vids like making it just in subtitles or the talking head trip you up? I originally wanted to make vids similar to my first 3 but then decided to experiment with different styles to get more reach.

    • @SantiskyGaming
      @SantiskyGaming Рік тому

      @@AthanWright I think a combination of both styles is really good like having the narrator come here and then and you still talk as it lets you still express your personality rather than it just being narrated

    lol I’m pretty sure the UA-camr Elijah Knorpp accidentally cameoed in the meet up. I just went to his channel to catch up and looks like the timing of his home coming from Japan is pretty spot on.
    Anywho, I wanted to pop on here to say how much I love your editing style. It really does remind me of those slice of life anime that I didn’t think the could be replicated in real life.. I am slowly going through “episode by episode” and am enjoying it so far:)
    Looking forward to more! I’ve already subscribed too!
