#2 How to Make Friends with Japanese People【Japanese podcast】

[@JohnM...]

I really like the speed you speak at in these podcasts, and the clarity of your speech too - much easier to follow, understand and shadow that your sometimes faster paced videos. They’re marvellous too ;)

[@luki1611]

I am learning Japanese and your videos are really good for listening practice because you don't speak fast and I can concentrate on what are you saying, and tnx for the nice tips when I hopefully move to Japan

This video was incredibly insightful and well-presented! The explanations were clear, and the content was engaging from start to finish. Great job! I started Japanese in selt-study a while back but gave it up to due to a lack of time. Maybe I will pick up some evening classes when the time permits. Keep up the good work ❤❤❤

Great content Yuriko, fantastic podcast. meeting new people is always fun 🙏I believe respect is key & to be honest being yourself is the way forward ,try not to impress too much. Allow conversations to evolve naturally … if it doesn’t, it’s not meant to be ✌️

My experience in Japan is as you described. Japanese people, especially women, are very shy. That being said, of the few short conversations I've ever had on a train were with women who helped me navigate the train system - which I greatly appreciated. The Japanese train system is fantastic, but it's very intimidating the first few times I used it. このビデオを共有してくれてありがとう

ご理解とご説明に感謝いたします. One-sided dynamics will quickly burns out or swing the pendulum in contrast of the other after some time. I agree that you need balance and harmony in all parts of life. Including work, relations and friendships across. Interesting takes and points. I deeply believe more people need to rethink their approach on these apps overall. What they show and how you represent yourself overall. Personally I would not like people to judge me primarily by looks or the language I speak as a first gateway for communication. I believe people can do better than that. Keep creating and I look forward to listen to more! どうもありがとうございます！

My first trip to Japan in 2023, I would freeze when trying to speak my limited Japanese. I'd get nervous and say," choto matte kudasai " while grabbing my phone for Google translate. Second trip I was more comfortable in conversations. While riding in a rickshaw in asakusa (mii chan), the driver was helping me with reading Kanji. Next trip, I'll be using my phone less, as studying japanese continues. Loved your video/podcast. ❤❤ 2023年に初めて日本に旅行したとき、限られた日本語を話そうとすると固まってしまいます。私は緊張して、Google翻訳のために私の電話をつかみながら「choto matte kudasai」と言います。 2回目の旅行では、会話が楽になりました。浅草(みいちゃん)で人力車に乗っている間、運転手さんが漢字を読むのを手伝ってくれました。 次の旅行では、日本語の勉強が続くので、携帯電話の使用を減らすつもりです。 あなたのアイデア/ポッドキャストが大好きでした。 ❤❤ Looking forward to traveling to Kamakura next.❤❤ 次は鎌倉への旅行が楽しみです。 ❤❤

I hope this was translated correctly. 🤔 これが正しく翻訳されたことを願っています。🤔

When I lived in Hokkaido, I walked up to salary men in bars and asked to sit with them. It ended up with us dancing on karaoke bar tables and then never hear from them again. Was great. 北海道に住んでた時、バーでサラリーマンに行って、【座っていいですか】と言った。そのあとに、カラオケでテーブルの上にダンスしたよ。４時間の友達だけｗ楽しかったよー

[@ShiningBlastoise]

Doesn't sound like you made friends. Just having drunk adventures.

[@carloshernandez-ii2cy]

ハロトークで仲のいい日本人の友達ができたので本当に皆様にオススメします！！ とても勉強になる動画をシェアしてくれてありがとうございます！！ なんか日本人の外国語で話すのが怖いという気持ちは分かりますね😅 間違えたら馬鹿にされるかなとか相手に話が通じなかったらとか緊張しすぎて言葉が出てこなかったらどうしようとか、やはりそう考えると不安になりますよね。 でも、机の上での勉強だけしてたら上達することができないと思ったから重い腰上げてハロトークをインストールして日本人に話しかけようと頑張ってきました！！ 最初は失敗が多くて心が折れそうになることが何度もあったけど、諦めずに挑戦をし続けてやっと日本人の友達ができました！！ お陰で日本語を勉強してて良かったなと今は思えます！！ だから日本語を勉強してる皆さん、引き続き、日本語の勉強を頑張りましょう！！

[@elenaekanathapetrova2282]

amazing how much different you look like now! for me you looks more serious really even with this ears I'm not so good at making compliments but I would like to compliment you

[@florin-aurelmailat9729]

👏👏👏💖

[@richardmayes-re1xy]

Hi 👋 great video,you shouldn't always have to speak English, we should learn Japanese also, but it's difficult on both sides.keep up the good work xx

[@eddyvader22]

本当に役に立った動画でした。おつかれさまでした。私は外国人から、一つ聞きたいことあります。日本人アプローチの両方はどんなヒントありますか。日本人の友達を作りたいのなら、見た目も、声も、あまり侵略的にしたくない。(日本語はすみませんね、まだＮ３だからね😣。）

[@Homiloko2]

Honestly, although the video was good, it didn't tackle the topics I expected. It was more about "Where" to meet Japanese people and make friends, and not "How". What I'm more interested about is how to further deepen the relationships with Japanese acquaintances I have. How to gauge if they're interested in being friends or not? Should I be more proactive in inviting them to hang out more often? How far ahead should I try to schedule? What are some do's and don'ts that are specific to Japanese culture? Any tips that Japanese people would like to see? etc.

[@paolomartizzi164]

I think many Japanese worry too much about possible mistakes in their pronunciation/grammar when they talk in another language. It is very unlikely that a native person will correct your mistakes like a teacher, during conversation (at least I would never do that). If information is conveyed in some way, there is no problem even if you stop when you don`t know words/grammar :)
