    My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!

    I just started learning Japanese writing sytem yesterday and I was planned to practice 3 hiragana and 1 kanji everyday since I'm not on the rush. I downloaded a tons of apps and I tried to practice to write on a paper sheet, and they looks ugly 🤣 Especially I'm having a hardtime to make my letter "a" looks beautiful and pleasant to the eyes. This video was really helpful, I can now beautifully write them and I will use this video as a reference for my studies everyday.

    hi guys, i’m an antarctic - greenlandic born soldier who’s been serving in the japanese army since 1821 and i just wanted to share my story. so basically, in 1803 i went to fight against the dumb samurai who thought they can govern! in 1802 i helped meiji rise to power and i killed the tokugawa shogunate! then i went to ww1 and killed 100 Million algerian soldiers and after that i was quite young so i got shipped out to Poland and I had to fight some Polish resistance in the 1940s. Then I moved to Trinidad and Tobago. I spent my entire teenhood there until I finally decided to move back to おさか.. I forgot the language since I’ve been in so many different countries for so long and my brain couldn’t take up all the capacity so I watched this video and it really helped me with regaining my knowledge on my own language, but now I’m currently learning texan and I’m trying to embrace my culture man thanks for listening.
    Edit: THANKS FOR 200 MILLION LIKES! IVE NEVER HAD SO MANY BEFORE! ME, MY NEPHEW (Alexander the Great), JULIUS CAESAR AND NAPOLEON AND MY GRANDMA THREW A PARTY FOR THE LIMES THANK SO MUCH 👍 btw im still learning anglish (japonese) so sory for tge grandmer

      @@narutoninjagoandtheflashar4256 You possibly don't need to follow the steps of drawing hiragana from this video. I mean, nobody actually comes to see what way you write, right?
      In hiragana and katakana, most of the letters have an inconvenient start, which makes it harder to follow the correct order and remember it. It may only add to the burden and slow down the learning process.
      For example, have a look at か in this video. The first step is っ-like part at the left bottom, and then, the next is 丿-like part. Difficult to remember, right? In a long run, it becomes harder to write if you write all the hiraganas & katakanas like this... I mean, why draw a person from foot-to-head, while drawing the same person from head-to-foot is wayyy more easier?
      Edit : So, which stroke you begin with doesn't matter that much. Trying to create the easier ways to "draw" them according to your own taste would be a lot better rather than just following the correct order.
      Edit 2 : The correct order comes handy, only if you are in one of these situations someday. Whether to use the correct order or not, that is your choice afterall :-
      ❈ You want to read a real Japanese dictionary. (Because, in real Japanese dictionaries, the words are arranged according to the number of strokes and stroke order.)
      ❈ You want to become a Japanese calligrapher. (Following right stroke order gives some comfort, as it goes according to the flow (sequence) of the brush in calligraphy.)
      ❈ The person you are speaking to is not being able to understand you because it's not clear from the context in the conversation. (In Japanese, there are many words which are pronounced the same, but carry different meanings and kanjis. So, the speaker might write the kanji on the palm of their hand to make it clear. In this case, a fixed stroke order would come in handy, since the listener obviously can't read it afterwards. That would be a very specific usecase, though.)
