    Nice video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.

    I’ve been passively studying Japanese on and off for yeeears! Over a decade, and did one year or semester of Chinese in college cause I missed Asian languages. Wish I didn’t let my mom tell me what to do when I was in high school when it came to languages.
    Can’t wait for the day where I can prioritize studying again!

    Regarding your critique about wanting the book to be colorful instead of black and white, I have no doubt a ton of color would prove distracting. No doubt whatsoever. Lol. It would also make the book a little more expensive.
    Also, I am surprised you edited this and thought small white text on a mostly white background was fine. 😂
    Also, another comment. The 1000 kanji book is not for advanced learners. There are more than 2000 kanji in common use. 2136 iirc.

    you're the reason why i bought the "Understanding Through Pictures 1000 Kanji" back in October 25, 2021. And to be honest as of now I honestly don't know what to say about the book coz mostly said that its pointless to memorize individual kanjis and it's better to memorize compound kanji/vocabulary. What are your thoughts on this?
    P.S. Thank you for suggesting the book and giving it a review by the way!

    • @YumeiieArtt
      @YumeiieArtt Рік тому +1

      this may not be of any use to you now, (since this is 9 months later lol) but i found that learning the individual kanjis meaning helps so much with memorizing words and how theyre written- thats why i like that book because it explains the individual kanji then shows you other words that use that kanji. Its also helpful because when reading, and you see a word you dont know, you can often guess what it means by the kanjis individual meanings :3
