EVERYTHING you need to know to START READING in JAPANESE 🇯🇵📚 | RIJ Ep. 5

[@craftly_Bixie]

I picked up the graded readers for Japanese schoolchildren and find them challenging enough. What I also did: I purchased Sailormoon in Japanese and read it with my German version as a "dictionary". I still struggle with the vocab in Japanese but having the German back-up is amazing and soothing. I can always fall back in case of uncertainty.

Thank you hiragana is easie I struggle a little bit with katakana. I love japan and I feel so familer to this country . This language as so much emotions and feelings more then English is something else. I'm really sure that I lifed in pastlufe like a japanese girl❤ we have more then one life

I've been self studying Japanese for 19mos. Mostly thru reading and watching native shows. The only thing that I'm still struggling when reading and listening is katana words. It's keep breaking my momentum and most of the time the sound doesn't make sense and difficult to guess😅 The key is consistency. You need to read everyday so you won't forget the reading and meaning of kanji. Eventually, you'll start to hear those words when watching native contents.

I really agree with you, the key is consistency!!

I loved it. I've been feeling that I need to read in Japanese more, but had no idea where to start in other ways than reading texts directed at native Japanese speakers. Your video filled some gaps in an organized way and I'll check out your recommendations. Take care! 🌸

[@arinoyume]

I am sooo happy to hear this you have no idea!! I try to structure my videos in the most efficient way possible to ease comprehension and to make sure I cover everything I want to cover 🥹🩷🩷🩷 thank youuuu

[@claire_450]

I'm not even learning Japanese but I always find your videos very relaxing 😅. It's also great to know some of these things because I can talk to my Japanese students about the differences between English and Japanese. Great video as always 😊

[@arinoyume]

Thanks so much that is super refreshing to hear!!!

Thank you so much for your information on reading Japanese books. I’m using Duolingo and I love the game and repetition it gives me to learn the language and getiting used to Kana and now Kanji. From a far, I always thought the language was difficult but like all things if you start small iand stay consistent, learning the language feels fun thanks to the 'game nature’ Duolingo provides the learner. Your information is sooo useful and I can’t wait to read all the books I’ve collected over the years and the ones I have no idea about, yet!! Thanks for the video and keep them coming!!

[@arinoyume]

Thank you very much for your comment! You're giving me lots of motivation to continue!

[@koiturnbull5700]

@@arinoyume So,So,So worth it! Thanks for your info, it’s been a big help

Wonderful video!!! I'm a Japanese Language Teacher and you gave excellent advice. Also, thank you for all the recommended apps and websites. I'm always looking for new resources to recommend to my students. Thanks and have a great day! ❤

[@arinoyume]

Thanks so much you made my day! I understand the struggle I’m always on the lookout for good recommendations myself 🤗 thank you for watching!

[@bjqstorm]

Great video I’m glad I found your channel. I just started trying to learn Japanese a few days ago and I am still trying to learn Kana but my goal is to be able to read manga, understand anime and, also I want to be able to speak it because I want to go to Japan.

[@arinoyume]

Thank you so much and I wish you the best of luck with your studies!!

[@nadaqueocultar]

Incroyable vidéo ! Après avoir appris l'anglais et le coréen, tes vidéos m'ont donné envie de commencer à apprendre le japonais, tes recommandations sont très utiles pour démarrer !

You’re welcome!!! So glad you liked it!!

Merci pour la vidéo, tu m’avais dit dans une réponse que tu faisais une vidéo sur comment acheter des ebooks à l’étranger, mais je m’attendais pas à une vidéo aussi copieuse. Merci aussi pour le descriptif de la vidéo avec tous les liens. Ça a dû demander un sacré boulot.;

[@arinoyume]

Ah oui je voulais essayer d’être complète 😅😅 désolée pour la longueur !!! J’espère que ça t’a plu !

[@AncaBenca]

Awesome video! This maybe a little bit controversial, but Google translate (photo function) is actually pretty awesome for a quick translation. Sometimes I just don't have energy to search 'compound kanji words' individually, especially if I do not know furigana. Furthermore, I am not sure if this counts as reading, but visual novels are also neat source of reading practice. It is way easier with voice acting and visual images to accompany the text. Recently finished Starry Sky and I feel huge jump in my vocab and overall comprehension.

[@arinoyume]

No no it’s not controversial I think! Google translate can be good to understand a text but not to learn how to read, unless you’re using it to check your understanding of a text 🤗 and as for visual novels, they definitely count as reading!! However since those usually contain spoken Japanese (which is not exactly grammatically correct and contains lots of idioms) they do not tend to be recommend to beginners ✨🤗 this is a generalisation however and you can definitely find things that are more literal and easier to understand (especially with the help of the images like you said ☺️)

[@Medalea]

Hoping you'll make a Mandarin version of this video in the future 🤞🏻

[@arinoyume]

I absolutely will!!! 🩷🩷🩷

Hi! Thank you for the video. Can I ask what book is the one you show on 10:22 with the vocab in yellow? Looks really interesting

[@arinoyume]

This is the vocabulary book 15歳までに知っておきたい言葉1800！ this is a book for Japanese teenagers (between 13 and 17) with lots of vocab around N1 and N1+ level! This was only for illustration that I inserted this b-roll in this video because it is not a book for beginners 🤗

[@lucytryingthings]

​@@arinoyume thank you! I have passed N3 and am now studying for N2 but I think I'll check it out.

[@rei6463]

do you use ereaders like a kindle when reading Japanese books? I wanted to know if there’s a sort of middle ground from satori reader to a physical book where I can still use a dictionary but without the amount of help satori reader gives 😖

[@arinoyume]

Yes I use the kindle app connected to the Japan Amazon bookstore!

[@rei6463]

​@@arinoyume ooh! then I would suggest a "how you use the kindle with reading Japanese media" to add to the series😁😁 I'll definitely watch it! This series have been so helpful with helping me learn💞💞
