    So far, this has been the most frustrating aspect of learning Japanese. People teach you how to say things in "Japanese," but then it turns out they are completely unnatural sounding to natives and completely different from what people actually say in real life. Like wtf

    This video is the best express crash course I’ve ever seen that debunks (conversationally) unnatural Japanese from the textbooks! A lot of these things I had to speculate about from my experience… but I feel so reassured now! Thank you Miku sensei! Every Japanese beginner should watch this video when they start learning Japanese!
    BTW, listening to Japanese children talk to each other is an amazing way to learn true Japanese… they rarely use polite (keigo) language with each other.

    This is a great advice, specially to intermediate-advanced learners. There are books that teach more natural japanese as you progress. For example, "TRY N3" (by japanese publisher "Ask publishing"), teaches a lot of informal japanese used in daily life.
    I found "classic books" like Minna no nihongo, arcaic and unpractical; I often encourage people to not use these kind of books.

  • @adin-lee

    From my experience textbooks gave me the required basis/understanding of Japanese to be able to learn efficiently and correctly. I would say that I learned the most from just listening to people speak, but if I didn’t have the textbooks I don’t think I would’ve learned as well at that point.

    I little Note about へ and に。
    へ is about direction
    に about destination.
    For example: When you say you won't go anywhere, you say like: どこへでも行きません。 Did you think why you use へ instead of に? Because there is no destination like "where". Where is abstract concept, you can't go to "where".
    So when you are asked "where you go to today?" If you won't to be precise use へ instead of に.
    People actually use へ. Just some people don't know how to use them correctly.
    PS. Same goes for 誰. You can't say 誰は, because 誰 is not a person it's abstract concept. That's why you should use が。

    This is extremely simplified. There is so much textbook and (University) language lesson bashing among online "teachers". Textbooks are good. But somehow people think that that is where teaching or learning should stop. No one ever said that. It should have always been textbooks AND.
    On top of that: Studying by yourself is NOT easy. Keeping up your motivation all by yourself, without tests and people who struggle along with you is incredibly hard. And being around others who enjoy learning the same language and share the same passion makes the experience so much more enjoyable.
    Also, huh? Why do you keep saying informal language is "real life" Japanese? As if there were no instances where Keigo is more than required? I have noticed this a lot with Japanese online teachers. We don’t just study to speak casually. Most of your points concern spoken and casual language, but when you go to a Japanese University you have to write a lot of formal essays and e-Mails.
    Like I said. It should always be textbooks AND.
    I do wish we had had an extra lesson for spoken Japanese that could have taught us better communication. But I‘m glad I also learned how to understand formal language and write formally. Nothing you mention is in any way an argument against formal
    language or textbook education, you only bring up valid points for improvement.

    I think it’s good to learn a more formal way first (even if I can’t communicate/ understand anything in the country) When people learn German or English and I can obviously tell they are beginners it’s very awkward to hear them only use casual forms of words. It feels quite inappropriate because you don’t always use those forms (even with friends...)

    So far the only reason I can see about that textbook teaching background which actually is still present in all sort of language courses around the world and is not commited about the real thing is: a limited mindset ruled by ignorance. In other words they haven't evolved their approaches and are just like children unable to deal with a more adult like real language affair.

    Actually i would never say 何見る? and I would be confused if someone said it because I have difficulty dealing with ambiguity. Does it mean 何が見る? or 何を見る??
    Maybe you can make a talk about how Japanese fill in missing information in sentences.

    When you begin, you're told that the structure of the sentence doesn't matter "as long as the particles are in the correct place". Then Intermediate Japanese, "we rarely use particles during daily conversation". Inter-intermediate Japanese, you realize that you DO have to know that the particles WERE there to understand the context, then purposely leave them out "to make it casual". Hm.
    English is no different, absurdly complicated, and swamped with irregularities, so I don't "moan" - though it's my national birthright as an Englishman. I've found Japanese to be quite a logical language made complicated by any English explanation or comparison!
