"Language learning isn't meant to be a stressful experience." I literally had to pause the video and cry. You are so right. Often times we are so hard on ourselves for not progressing "fast enough", and this leads to opposite feelings towards the learning! I needed this reminder. And I appreciate you and your channel. You are so inspirational! ❤

Aww thank you so much! I don't wanna make you cry 🥺😭😭😭😭😭! But I completely understand what you mean! Especially since I am uploading content each week, I feel as if I need to have made some progress...but its okay to take breaks or even just re-learn things because its fun! I guess the contrary is called counter productivity (or something like that)... I appreciate your support so much Konami 💕💕💕💕💕💕 Stay strong ❤️

I had to stop studying Korean when my mental health really went downhill in the middle of 2020. I've been picking it up again almost a year later and have to go over everything I already learned since I forgot most of it. I sometimes feel sad that I lost so much time and have almost nothing to show for everything I studied but I realize it's not a competition. We really should go at our own pace, and any progress is better than nothing ♥

@@yutassmilehealsme6572 yes. I’ve been on exchange to Japan (without ever studying Japanese) and after 3 months there, an Australian came who studied Japanese since first grade. Though her Japanese was really impressive and way better than mine when I started, I still spoke way better Japanese within just 3 months of staying in Japan. I don’t want to say Australians are bad at studying Japanese at all. I’d never be able to speak Japanese if I wouldn’t have gone there. It just shows how incredibly difficult it is to get to a decent level of Japanese without living there.

@hilecireyiz51483 жыл бұрын
hi I'm also turkish and I know there are many likeness between japanese and turkish; for anyone who would like to learn either turkish or japanese, here are some examples of the resemblance The grammar is over %95 the same! (such as both of em being agglutinative languages, both of em have vowel harmony, the sentence structure, word order etc) The way of thinking, the sentence form is the same, the way you put and even the form of the suffixes are nearly the same, even some of the tenses are! Such as "-mashta" is a past tense in Japanese, in Turkish this past tense is "-mishti/-mushtu/ -müshtü/" Also there is the past tense "-ta" in Japanese, in Turkish it is "-ti/tı" but also can be "tü/dü/di/dı" In Japanese there is "desu" which is pronounced as "des" and there is "dır" in Turkish; which is used in the same way and mean the same thing! Also in Japanese, that "desu" can be "da" and in Turkish, that "dır" also can be "da"! But it is not official and it is an accent. Such as "watashi wa ningen da!" and "ben bir insanım da!" but in Turkish, you usually prolong the "a" of "da", and usually older people who don't have an Istanbul accent would add the "da". In Japanese there is this "ari-mas/ (put a word) imas" form if you know, in turkish this is "var-mis/ (put a word) imis" In Japanese you usually add "ka" to ask questions and in Turkish you add "ki" but it is not that necessary. In Japanese when you want to say "a's car" (the car belonging to person a) you'd say "a no kuruma", in Turkish you'd say "a nun-nin arabası" Also, if you want to say "at the library" (it doesnt have to be library, im just giving example) in Turkish you'd say "Kütüphane de" and in Japanese you'd say "Toshokan de". Let me give you a sentence I've come up from a video. Let's look at the Japanese and Turkish version of the sentence "He-She had gone to/ went to university at Izmir" Turkish : Izmir de universite ye gitmishti (gitmişti; ş is pronounced as sh) Japanese : Izmir de daigaku e ikimashta" (And for ta/ti example I've given you earlier, for the verb go; it would be "itta" and "gitti") Or we have "o - i, ı" (which does not exist in many languages, but kinda gives "the/a/an" vibes to me, such as "Sakuranbo o tabemashita" (written as wo pronounced as o) and "Kiraz ı yemishtim" meaning the past forms of I eat a/the cherry Or their infinitive suffixes look the same "-masu" and "-mak" So there are many more examples but these are the ones I came up with. As for the origin places of these two languages; Proto-Japonic, the common ancestor of the Japanese and Ryukyuan languages, is thought to have been brought to Japan by settlers coming from the Korean peninsula sometime in the early- to mid-4th century BC (the Yayoi period) So it says Japanese language originated in Korean peninsula but I've also read articles saying Japanese language originated in Japan so I'm not quite sure. As for the origin place of the Turkish language ( all Turkic languages) "There are still disputes over it today but as mostly accepted; the Turkic languages originated in Eastern Asia spanning Western China, Mongolia and Southeastern Siberia. At the time the first Turkic languages were spoken, it resembled the modern Turkish language we know today very little. The Turkic people and languages clearly had a bond with the Chinese" (Some other sources say Turkic Languages originated in Manchuria) Oh and today however we dropped many Chinese and Turkic words and replaced them with the Arabic and French words, especially during the Seljuk Empire and the Ottoman Empire. Today, the Chinese words in both Anatolian and Cypriotic Turkic (Turkish) remained very little and we got these words thousands of years ago from the Chinese; we have the words çocuk(kid), yılan(snake), su(water), ev(house), inci(pearl) etc which managed to still remain today.

I regret neglecting my Japanese study after passing N5 (back then I didn't even get that high of a grade). That was around 2015 too, and now I want to kick-start my study again and hopefully pass N4 next year. I don't have any tutor and do all my studies by myself so this is very useful to me for study ideas.

Hey! I just randomly saw this video in my suggestions and thought I’ll leave a comment as a fellow Japanese language learner . I think you should definitely get that Try grammar book for N3. I am currently using one to prepare for N2 and it is so so so good ! Especially if you pair it up with a book filled with exam like questions. I find it really useful . I would also suggest to move on to studying for N3 if you feel a bit demotivated about what happened after you couldn’t register for N4. You don’t have to take every level to go on to the next one. I never took N5 or N4 and went straight for N3 however it did take me a year to get there and it just happened that JLPT was taking place when I was studying N3 grammar and vocabulary at that time. I just feel that maybe that way you might stay more motivated ? By learning new grammar and vocabulary. But obviously , as you said , language learning should not be stressful , so just doing things at your own pace is important😄You are doing such a good job already ! Good luck on your language learning! 頑張って😁.
