[@janbonte6422]

Don't agree, i have all those things and i can still sneak in half an hour every day. I just don't waste too much of my time watching tv or playing games. Plus if it's something you love doing then you'll find time for it

[@pablodm9]

But you do have time to watch a video about learning japanese, and I'm sure is not an uncommon occurrence

[@rehakmate]

That is me

[@meghanhowk]

I understand what you’re saying. My brother and I are both learning Japanese. I have a husband, an 11-year old child, a demanding job, and I just bought a fixer-upper house. My brother barely works, has no spouse, no kids, and lives in an apartment. I am able to commit about an hour a day to Japanese, my brother can commit 5+ hours per day. I think, often, videos like this one don’t show the sheer amount of time some people are putting into learning the language. It can be unrealistic. I think focusing on moving the needle a little each day is more important than speed-running.

[@OKOKOKOKOKOKOK-zn2fy]

I study 10 minutes of an anime in several passes. 1. Japanese audio with English subtitles. ( So you know what's going on. ) 2. Japanese audio with NO subtitles. ( Immerse yourself in the sounds and images. ) 3. Japanese audio with Japanese subtitles and pause every line to take down the vocabulary and kanji. I also shadow the speakers and repeat everything they say, exactly as they say it. ( Get the pitch accent too. ) 4. Load everything you copied in step 3 into Anki and study it. 5. Re-watch the anime in Japanese with the Japanese subtitles. ( You will understand everything this time. ) Shadow the anime line for line. ( I put my mouse next to my chair and pause frequently so I can have time to repeat everything. ) 6. When you finish the anime, come back and re-watch it every other week with shadowing. You will get bored with the anime, but you will own every line 100% . Input only works if it is comprehensible input. When your mind recognizes that it has some memory of a word or phrase, you know it immediately and get excited. After a few months, you will have learned hours of natural Japanese dialogue.

I’m in my third month studying Japanese. I’m a 75 year old retired educator…determined to learn the language as a mental challenge. My wife and I will visit Japan this summer. Using Italki tutor.. lesson 3 Genki… lots of other apps. I can read hiragana and katakana, but I can’t write it. IS IT NECESSARY FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO WRITE THE KANA? It is a challenge to learn all of the new vocabulary, and to wean off of romagi. I’m also trying to use Japanese readers, and I am looking into the Satori reader. Thank you for the video…. Any suggestions for me will be much appreciated. Best, John

[@ryuzakikunl]

Satory reader it's really good! Im still using it after a year, it really helps to learn a lot of different vocabulary, ways to speak, express yourself, kanji and so on. You shouldn't worry about writing kanji unless you find a meaning in doing so. Just keep doing it and have fun. That's how I learnt English back then, but well actually japanese it's quite harder but not impossible.

[@doublemint3664]

Writing can be fun for personal development, or for memorization techniques. but probably similar to your home country, there's not a lot of times in your daily life you're going to need to be writing things down outside of schooling. I would say if you're trying to maximize your understanding in a shorter time, don't worry about writing them so much, unless you feel like writing them out helps you memorize them.

[@Pinflim]

I am living in Japan and am in my same conversation and word patterns since a while. So your tips how to break out of them sound really helpful. Hope they will work

[@ancientmage2669]

THANK YOU! A child doesn't learn a language by reading or writing at first, that comes after 5 or 6 years, but I see many videos pushing for it which I disagree on. I learned english by listening and speaking bits at times. Took me a good 8 years I kid you not to be fluent and be able to translate and interpret 😊 Now at 54 I am on the quest to learn Japanese but at my own pace and no pressure. I appreciate you clarifying this point😊 Cheers from Panamá 😊

[@ClulssCrs3310]

I actually have heard to not try to speak for a full year. Only listen. After that, start reading.

[@wrathofcorn]

It's also impossible, even native Japanese people don't reach N1 for over a decade.

[@TheStrataminor]

@@wrathofcorn No...but learning N1 in a year probably assumes some background and that sort of thing. However N1 test can be studied for. But no, you don't need 10 years...hard ass work you can do (with efficient study methods,,none of that text book rubbish)...this guy is right....dive straight into listening on KZbin of proper stuff, learn words from there in context....forget flash cards, memorizing etc is all slow and ineffective...

[@wrathofcorn]

@@TheStrataminor OK, so if you've already been studying for a number of years, you can reach N1 in one additional year. That I can agree with lmao. If you want a realistic idea of language learning goals as well as much more thought out tips, I'd recommend Steve Kaufmann. If you're learning Japanese with zero prior knowledge, don't beat yourself up by comparing yourself to someone lying about being able to reach N1 in a year. It's an impossible goal that will only ever be uttered by snake oil salesmen.

[@TokyoXtreme]

@@TheStrataminorFlashcards are neither slow nor ineffective.

[@KoreKaraPodcast]

@wrathofcorn Does the belief that learning Japanese is extremely difficult serve you? Which belief do you think will be more conducive to getting fluent in the language? N1 is an extremely low level for a Japanese person, a middle schooler could pass it drunk

[@misteracid234]

Nice video man. I started learning via textbooks in 2022, did Genki 1 and 2 but then gave up due to other commitments after 3-4 months. I started again in January this year, however going down the full immersion route. So far I have done 5+ hours of intensive immersion per day and have been mining sentences for grammar/vocab. I feel like I have made 10x as much progress from this method, however, the early grammar from the textbooks definitely gave me a good head start. Keep up the videos and godspeed to you.

This might be the absolute best advice I’ve ever heard for learning Japanese, and frankly, in my opinion, any language. I’ve been living in Japan for years now, I’ve been stuck at an intermediate level forever and I didn’t quite know how to punch myself up to the next level. That last third of the video is perfect advice. I showed it to some friends fluent in both languages and they enthusiastically approved. I will be fluent in kanji reading in a year thanks to you.

おかえり

[@kamfuku]

Honestly you could and probably should make a whole vid on a change of mindset, it’s applicable not just to Japanese (surely) but there are so many people who are frustrated and on the verge of/have given up and I think it would really encourage people that it really is possible to attain fluency

[@moyga]

Going to do homestay is such a great opportunity. There is a huge difference between that and going to a meet-up. Most Japanese people at meet-ups want to speak English and youre not using Japanese out of necessesity or seeing them use Japanese in a variety of situations. You really need to be in an environment where you are forced to use Japanese all day everyday, not making yourself study, but just incidentally as part of your everyday life out of necessity and seeing other natives using it in normal everyday situations. Except for homestay, there are not many other chances to be in that situation.

[@Arctagon]

This is really good advice. I think the notion of working on domain comprehension (mentioned during the game plan part of the video) is something that most people are not even aware of, and is severely underrated in general. It's a shame it was only mentioned in passing. Another thing that I wish you would've elaborated on is the mindset shift. That section was so short you'd moved on to the next before I even quite understood what the simple action actually entailed. For example, what do you really mean when you say ‘actually commit’? I personally don't think it's a good idea to make a flashcard of every single word you come across that you don't know, but on the whole, this is arguably the best video on learning Japanese (and probably any language in general, since it's basically the same process) that I have seen. Great job!

[@RAPHAELBIJ]

Good to see you back man! Very useful video!

[@KoreKaraPodcast]

[@KenaiPaani]

I like that you promote immersion a lot because it really is super important. I went to school to learn Hawaiian, if not for the fact that I could talk with my friends/teachers I would only be gaining vocab from music or old voice recordings. The main thing I would do after reaching some baseline of speaking proficiency was asking how to spell a word they used, define it (in that language), or write it down to look up later. Studying the vocab itself was largely useless without it ever coming up in conversation. Always start with the words that you are actually going to use first and ignore EVERYTHING ELSE for the time being.

2:26 as someone who took Japanese in high school, the way we had that set up was the first week (along with beginning to learn to communicate in general) was dedicated to hiragana, and the second week katakana.

Dude... talk about a motivational video. I'm still very new, like Duolingo new and this was exactly what I needed to see. I haven't been passionate about really anything in a long time but learning a language has been surprisingly fun. I know my pronunciation is probably horrible but the fact that I can even say the words and sentences I do know roughly is such a good feeling. I've never been good at learning especially in school but now that I'm doing it on my own time willingly I've found a passion for that, so I don't think I'm gonna have a issue on the commitment side of learning the language. My biggest hurdle is gonna be when I hit the full immersion stage, I have really bad social anxiety and don't do good talking to people even in my own language so that's gonna be something that's gonna be more trying. Sitting in my room learning and watching anime will be no issue though.

I've been grinding japanese for 2-3 weeks from 0. ajatting 90% for a week. Game Gengo, Khatz and this KoreKara keep me going. ♥️ I don't recommend ajatting from scratch. Just learn hiragana and katakana, then learn grammar and sentence structure. While you're learning those two things, you're gonna pick up vocab naturally. Most important tip: DON'T DO THINGS THAT FEEL LIKE A CHORE! Always make it fun, otherwise you're not gonna remember anything important. I literally just finished playing re4 remake in japanese and that was fun af even though I didn't understand 95% of it. That means 5% I understood and I'm proud of that. Don't give up. If my dumba** can do it, so can you.

Thanks for all the tips! As a full time working dude with a family 1 year is as good as impossible for me. But I'm happy I finally commited myself to learn japanese. It's been a lifelong dream of mine, and last summer I actually made japanese a daily habit of my life. On good days I invest 2h a day, but 15min is my absolut minimum. The first try to learn it was 2010.. I was young and had the time. But lacked the Conviction to really want it. 😄

[@AlexSels]

I’m a bit confused. You’ve been learning Japanese for well over 2-3 years. You have videos dating back 2 years ago to 3 where you are still studying japanese. It just makes it hard for me to believe you did everything in 1 year and passed N1. I studied very hard myself as well and I think passing N1 in one year even with your methods would prove impossible. It’s just me. But as always great content 👍🏻

[@KoreKaraPodcast]

By the time I made the video I had already passed 2-3 years ago. I also had the opportunity to live in the country for 4-6 months and was living in Japanese all day + grinding anki for 2 hours per day. It would be hard to not pass imo. That being said my Japanese wasn't perfect, I could communicate no problem with anyone, read novels, and function. But far from Native after 1 year. I guessed many questions, many words I didn't know, and made many mistakes. But I also interviewed the doth + harry who passed under 1 year and got near perfect scores. So it's not impossible if you set it as a goal

Learning the grammar is relatively easy learning hiragana and katakana is very easy i cant say the same for kanji but ive managed altogether i like seeing how different people explore our language and learn in the best way they can keep up the good work

[@Kaze_Gus]

The key point is to be persistent when learning Japanese. When I was just starting out, I find kanji to be the easiest part to learn since I am fond of memorizing stuff. Anime also motivated me to keep on absorbing new knowledge each day. As long as an individual builds a solid foundation through the right approach, then he/she can gradually become fluent in a new language over a period of time. All the best to everyone. 😄👍

[@Alaiqkse]

for example, if I watched this vid just a year ago, i would have not been able to understand anything due to your fluency in english despite the fact i really know english. But I bought a vr headset and spent all of my days with natives englishes and that can sound kind of weird but I usually talk to myself in english (Im french) so I gained much more fluency.

I so agree with your points and moving from the beginner stage. I noticed with Japanese, unlike other languages, that one beginner grammar point opens so many other beginner grammar points - small ones, and it is so easy to go in circles and fall into some kind of Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole where you repeat the same beginner material when you feel like you are forgetting something slightly - you never progress.

[@eigojiyouzu]

Great advice imo. And really great job on music choice and timing. Editing was enjoyable. I got flashbacks watching the part about using the language before you are fluent. I too would recommend this. I've been living in japan for half a year and at least once a month i embarrass myself heaps and i can always laugh about it although it can be a bit traumatizing. Know i think of using the language is the same as trying to sell something to someone, the more failures you have the closer you are to success.(a sale or in language - fluency or something near it). This and learning to say that you don't understand and ask someone to repeat themselves (politely ofc), if that fails learn to ask for the meaning or similar words. When you get into this pattern you are truly learning on the spot and just as he says - your brain will do whatever it takes to remember what is being said in order to avoid embarrassment in the future. Currently my hairstylist and i speak for an hour straight and he almost knows zero english so it's always a bit nerve-racking knowing that i will be expected to use japanese for an hour straight even when im not in the mood to struggle, but most often we both end up having some good laughs and it goes better than expected.

I can't read or write as i've never tried to learn the characters.But I can hold a conversation very well. The same goes for English. I first learned it for educational purpose but when i started watching Eng cartoons and movies (as well as songs). I pretty much got the native tone. I tried to talk to a native Eng speaker for the first time, I clearly understood whatever he was saying. So my question is if this same method will work for the Japanese or not.

This is really great, but I only have one question. For the basics, you said 3 months so if Im learning in the middle of genki, Ill just stop or do I have to learn everything in that 3 months. Please answer this question, I really need to know this.

Hi Korekara, I am from India, and I searched for Genki 1 and genki 2 but the problem is there is a french edition and japanese edition on amazon, isn't there any other way for me than this because these resources are not available in india.

I’m kinda stuck in the endgame where I have enough vocabulary to have a conversation and I know enough to understand everything I need to whenever I watch a drama or an anime in full Japanese, but I don’t have anyone to practice with consistently and nobody to net enough focus to expand my vocabulary vastly enough to reach past business level. I could be consistent on my flashcards, but it’s weird because you don’t want to farm flashcards all the time and just want to learn words you know you’ll actually use organically.

I cant seem to find that Japanese - English dictionary app anywhere, is it a different app icon on android or does it just not exist?
