Had a really derpy moment. *sees すし* Me: "Sushi. What the heck is that?" *sees Sushi* Me: "Oh. Right"

[@andrewle7429]

i personally have more of those moments with katakana, first situation that came to mind was at a Japanese supermarket, 「パンコーナー」, read it, then was like "wtf is pankoonaa" until i looked at the stuff under the sign and just face palmed myself. then theres occasional contracted/shortened words written in katakana, most of the time you get used to some cause they are used fairly commonly such as 「コンビニ」、「パソコン」、「サンド」etc. some of the interesting ones are words written with both katakana and hiragana, the first that i think most will learn is 「サボる」which most will learn is to like "to skip class" and is speculated to have come from the word "sabotage". other words will be introduced as a hiragana katakana combo but later turn into a kanji hiragana katakana combo, like 「けしゴム」ー＞「消しゴム」 the road of studying Japanese is long and never ending～

[@andrewle7429]

@@ritsuspendstoomuchtimeonth7907 like what 命 said, its "bread corner", so under that sign had a buncha different types of breads and bread products. convention wise, i typically add 「・」when separating words using katakana, unless its a set like 「パソコン」, which in my opinion helps non-native Japanese speakers. so in this case I would write it as 「パン・コーナー」 but thats just me, and i do more reading than writing (if you can call it writing by typing lol) nowadays anyways.

Why don't you try to everyday doing a little of japanese exercise? With simple things in the day. For example: (I woke up at 6am) 今日は六時に起きました。 (My mother is doing the breakfast) 私の母は朝食をしています。 Now, I'll eat my breakfast (今、朝ご飯をたべます。) My breakfast was bread with coffee (私の朝ご飯はパンとコーヒーでした。) I'll go to the school (学校へ行きます。) I'll study. (勉強をします。) Really, with this simple things you will practice your japanese and then will feel that you are really learning the language, y'know? What I like to do, that I like too, is creating history, girl!! I'm doing such fanfic of my two favorite composters (リストとモ―ツァルト), now, our beautiful Liszt are learning えい語 by the the Paganini, annnnddd, Mozart likes Liszt, but he doesn't know how to confess to Liszt, Idk when this will happen (probably when my japanese came at least at N3 lol) Did you get the idea? The text could be just a simple one, just talking. When I read my first japanese text (that I used a lot of Google translate) and compared with this text that I'm doing know... I really can develop they relationship!!! Before I wasn't able to say simple things, because of that, they relationship was so cold, but now... Finally!! Mozart could call his love to a restaurant (LOL) poor guy ,__, Try to use what I said, you don't have to do complex things, what is important is using the language, focus on using the language, not studying several hours. Good luck my dear with your studies 💪🏻💪🏻⚡⚡

A tip - if you are confident with the words but want to test your reading ability within sentences, make up short stories using the words, translate them (make sure everything is in hiragana), and then try and highlight the words in the sentences you recognize. Here were my stories, using every word in the 2-character hiragana section- I am in the house, in my room. It’s the middle of winter, and there is snow. I am reading a book with my cat on my lap. I see my garden outside, with many flowers, and a mountain in the background. It is summer. I am swimming in the sea. I look down and see an octopus. The sky is blue. I walk down the road. I am going to a store in my town. I arrive at the station and wait for my train. When I get to the store, I buy salt, a cloth and another thing. I then go and eat sushi at a restaurant, and also get a drink. I am writing a song. I get my paper. Another person is singing the song. They have a good voice and a pretty face. The song is about a tiger.

[@thomasrobertson2225]

My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!

@@TOMOsensei Hi Sensei. Thanks for the response. I just have a question though: ふ from other YT videos says that it is pronounced Hu. Why is it pronounced FU here?

[@TOMOsensei]

There are 2 most used ways to write romaji, Kunrei system and Hepburn system. The Hepburn system is used in my hiragana lessons and it shows the pronunciation of ふ /fu/. So /fu/ and /hu/ represent the same pronunciation, but just the notation is different. However, the pronunciation ofふ is neither fu or hu sound actually. It is close to the sound with your upper teeth close to your lower lips and saying 'who'.

I started learning hiragana 3 years ago but stopped when I was about to learn Kanji. 3 days ago, i started learning again from the start, and i made 3 mistakes in this video. I think i did pretty well. Ill start using this everyday :) ありがどうございます！

[@TOMOsensei]

どういたしまして! You've got this!😄

[@sssss1n095]

Guys i totally failed this!!11!1!1!!1!1

[@not__pcy4513]

I started learning Japanese almost a month now by myself and with the help of yt tutorials. I can't believe I read most of the words.

[@lilyisadinosaur415]

I actually looked for this to test myself

[@TOMOsensei]

Great! Hope it was helpful😊

[@CaseyMusic2306]

This is great, this helps me realise how far i've come with learning Japanese. ありがとうございます

[@TOMOsensei]

どういたしまして! Glad it was helpful!

[@veronicapharque4866]

I missed 2 words overall. This video was really fun to test my reading skills!! ありがとう せんせい ^_^

[@TOMOsensei]

Great job!👍 I'm so glad you enjoyed it! どういたしまして。がんばってください！😄

[@ethansinger5962]

This is day 4 learning Japanese and I'm proud of my progress. I can get most of the two character words in 3 seconds, and even a three character word. Definitely shows me what characters i need to become more familiar with, but this was really fun practice!

[@TOMOsensei]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@lovearcimunoz9837]

Yes! I got all correct, even i don't know the meaning, i'm happy:)

[@TOMOsensei]

Wonderful!👍 So glad you enjoyed!!

[@latifa317]

Me too

[@alohi67]

Thank you, Sensei, for posting these videos. The 3-second testing really helps.

[@TOMOsensei]

So glad to hear that it was helpful! 😄

[@randomchronicle]

I only got 1 wrong, and I started learning 3month ago, dang I'm proud of myself

[@TOMOsensei]

Great!👍 Way to go!

[@theleelife313]

Took Japanese about 11 years ago. Glad I still got some it engrained in me.

[@user-xy7le4nb1p]

I'm used to read ko as something like this "z" but with the space on the middle

[@TOMOsensei]

Haha it looks like! Nice idea~ 😄

[@mudsludge]

learned japanese in high school until i graduated in 2016, and i didn't bother learning more that i've started to confuse similar looking letters again. i did better than i thought actually

[@TOMOsensei]

Great!👍

なんで日本生まれなのに見てるんだろー？w

[@sdavid27]

Thank you very much for the confidence boost, I just finished learning hiragana yesterday and got almost everything right. I was super worried that i wouldn't actually be able to read quickly.

[@TOMOsensei]

That's great!

[@IcecreamCat23]

For all the people just starting to learn Hiragana. Here is a tip: Learn it until you can point at it and take a few second to read it, then don’t worry about it too much. The more you go into your studies, the more you will see them. You will become familiar with them so much, in two to three months (if you study at least two or three times a week), that you could glance and read them. So don’t stress about it too much 😉

[@TOMOsensei]

That's right! Practice makes perfect!

[@OXEJXD]

Thanks so much. I was just practicing hiragana for 4 days and I'm getting confused about reading because there's almost the same character but I keep getting wrong. But ur comment helped me much about it thx for informing ;)

[@theresaschuldt3915]
