[@msvcpdll3735]

well it's not like someone forces you to learn English but the pressure does exist and after I realised I've got pretty good English after a year and a half of constant studying it feels so satisfying and now i started to learn Japanese more for myself and we'll see how it goes😅

[@raykleiner3151]

I speak 5 languages fluently, and have lived in 7 countries, including in the Middle East. It has made me a citizen of the world for which I am grateful and was a blessing. The only way to connect to local culture is to speak the language, otherwise you will always be a tourist.

[@nerigarcia7116]

I traveled to Spain on my own and for two weeks I spoke only Spanish as a native English speaker. I had many years of Spanish, but I got a lot better using it everyday. I welcomed the loneliness aspect as it allowed for deep introspection and I learned a lot about myself during that trip. There's nothing wrong with some time to yourself and doing things alone, not everyone needs to thrive with others.

[@TheEsteban1979]

I'm a 43 years old argentinean. At the age of 21 I moved to USA. I spoke very little Ingles, whatever I learned in highschool wich was nothing I found my report carts with failing grades in English class. I remember saying to myself why would I learn English when I live in this small town and I'm so poor I cant afford to go anywhere. Somehow I ended up living in USA for 22 years. Learning English at the age of 21 opened a new universe. After 22 years of hard work I moved back home and I living my dream life. Now I teach English for free to kids that can't afford English classes while I reinvented myself studying computer science and it is a huge advantage to know English in this industry while I'm in Argentina.

[@namesurname7332]

I've managed to acquire English and it has changed my life dramatically, now every day is different and I don't even remember how I'd been living without it. And I expect Japanese to give me something of the kind. I've been learning Japanese for years now, thousands of hours, able to read and comprehend speech, but I realize I would be scared to death to talk to those people and it breaks my heart. I see how you deal with them and they're sweet to you, I do want it but something in me is terrified of going out and having a conversation with a stranger. The thing is everyone is a stranger in this world before you talk to them. I've moved away from my country and really feel so lonely out here most of the time, I can speak some and they can answer some, even have a laugh occasionally, joking around via 300 words or so. I don't really think loneliness is all about the language as I've seen people get together with only an online translator. It's deeply rooted in the fear of people themselves.

[@kyleclark8958]

I started using italki to learn Japanese back in December and it added so much quality to my learning and structure. I'm absolutely in love with the language and have been working hard MOSTLY every day to practice. Having someone to speak with 2 times a week for an 1hr and 45 minutes is incredibly helpful.

[@ggwp-mk4cw]

How long did it take u to get N3 lvl of japanese?

[@ntrg3248]

@@ggwp-mk4cw well it's pretty hard to say since I never did tests. So just now I tried a mock exam of the N1, and I got 7/16 right. So I guess I can at least call myself N2 level if I can kind of do N1 stuff, even though it's still kind of hard. I'm 2 months away from my 3 year anniversary since starting my learning process. If I had to guess when I was at N3 level, it was probably before the end of last year, because I have definitely noticed a lot of progress since then. I think progress is going to be a lot slower from here on out though, it will be even slower when I pick up a third language, but the third language will probably be a lot easier/faster to learn since my brain already knows what it's like to learn a foreign language, so I guess it's a fair tradeoff.

[@Danu0000]

@@ntrg3248 can you give me some advice of how to start learning Japanese ?

[@mathiaslovnes2667]

How much did you study per day or week? That seems like relatively quick progress compared to other people I’ve read about

[@ntrg3248]

@@mathiaslovnes2667 well I did have a lot of free time on my hands, but I didn't necessarily spend all of it on study. Most of the time I spent on Japanese wasn't traditional "studying" but more immersion, If I watched anime or read manga etc, that counted towards immersion and increased my vocabulary. A lot of people waste their time studying Kanji for months and not focusing on other aspects of the language, when you'll learn the kanji from vocabulary anyway. Instead of worrying about what was efficient I just dived in and went for it, and that ended up being what worked for me.

Knowing at least 2 languages changes all the possible life paths one can have. And, the perspective you gain from knowing how other cultures think and what they value are invaluable and insightful in helping you understand your place in the world.

[@samkgp]

I will never regret learning new languages. It gave me the opportunity to work when I thought I wasn't enough for job positions in my country. I also had the chance to meet people from other countries while I learned more about their cultures. I feel more curious about this world, and It opened the door to new knowledge. I hope everyone can have the chance to learn a new language.

[@Ran-nf7ot]

During the pandemic, I was bored and had nothing to do so I went on an application called Hilokal to just mess around (it is a language exchange platform). I only went there to make jokes and feel less lonely about the whole Covid thing, until I met people from diverse backgrounds who were very kind to teach me their culture. At first, when you don't know their language, you would really feel like a stranger to them, worse than that, a scary person. But after learning their languages, it brought me to different cultures and identity that I now share within myself. Now, I feel like I am a little bit Malaysian, Indonesian and Chinese (the languages I learned these past 3 years) inside. Their culture, tradition, music and expressions --- they all just become a part of you. The best part is that people from these cultures will always welcome you as you respect and value these gifts. I am very grateful 🙏 As to the question as to what happens if you already learned some languages; You might mix everything at once haha like, I tak tahu u zai nali yesterday talaga, aduhh Tak tahu -- don't know 🇲🇾 在哪里 (zai nali) -- at where 🇨🇳 Talaga -- really 🇵🇭 Aduhh -- expression like sighing (?)🇮🇩

[@armorbearer9702]

(10:10) True, I have heard some people who speak Japanese and English notice a slight change in personality. When speaking Japanese, they tend to be a bit more reserved. When speaking English, they tend to be a little more direct.

[@dummy03only33]

I studied Spanish as my 3rd language at 29 year old. I think the key is to constantly remind yourself the purpose of why you’re doing it and do it constantly. Talk to native people and incorporate your hobbies with the language you’re learning (songs, movies, games, etc)

Learning people’s own language is definitely important for relationship with them. The market's direction can swiftly change, with indexes frequently transitioning from a bear market to a bull market precisely when the news is most negative and investor sentiment reaches its lowest point. I came across an article highlighting individuals who achieved profits of up to $150,000 during challenging market periods. Considering this, I am curious about the best stocks to purchase now or add to a watchlist.

[@graywilliams_77.]

Within various industries, there exist numerous intriguing stocks that you may choose to track. It is important to note that you do not need to act upon every forecast. Therefore, I would recommend working alongside a financial advisor who can assist you in determining the optimal moments to buy and sell the shares or ETFs you are interested in acquiring.

Learning people’s own language is definitely important for relationship with them. Obviously, English is the most spoken language in the world and you can tell your thought to ppl and understand what ppl say. Boom. But, they are so happy if you speak in their language, even if it’s only few words. Like “How are you?” “Thanks” “Nice” Yummy” “Cute”. Or even if you just TRY, they smile and teach you.

[@genigalmeida2580]

My piece of advice is once you start learning a language you need to keep practicing by speaking it with someone. My 1st language was Spanish & I spoke it everyday with my mother until I married at 22 yrs old. My husband's family only spoke English. We moved to where he grew up & within 2 yrs of not practicing speaking Spanish I found myself giving my mother examples of what I was trying to communicate to her because I couldn't remember the "single" word I needed to say. So practicing your 2nd, 3rd.... language is very important.

[@DanielleBaylor]

As a Malaysian, I speak Cantonese at home, learnt Chinese at school, actively using Malay language for syllabus, English for general communication and Japanese for work. I can say, language is fun.

[@rockylopez1198]

Also be mindful in Japan people respect the elderly very much and you asking her age and “are you trying to kill me” might not be the best things to say. Also you can say “(dish name) kudasai” to order food. And “ijo desu” (that’s all) when you finish ordering. And then “itadakimasu” before and “gochisousama deshita” when you finish eating. The food dialogue is kind of the same everywhere you go in Japan.

This is an EXCELLENT Video. Something I never thought of. I am American and live in Brazil with my Brazilian wife who is bilingual. Since she is always there I don't feel lonely, however I also know that learning the language is only the start. I am sure we all know relationships we have had when two people don't understand each other even though they both speak English etc. Knowing a common language is always just the beginning. i remember being in an electronics store with my wife looking for triple A batteries. She asked the person in her perfect native Portuguese if they had them. After several minutes, only because he moved to the side, did we realize he had been standing in front of them all this time and thought we wanted an i Phone charger. Always remember just because you know the whole language book, you may not know the whole story. There is much more to communicating..

Learning something new is knocking in the door of the unknown. Opening this door carries you to a lot of experiences and opportunities you would never imagine. Learning a language is not the exception and this is my short story: My mother tongue is Spanish and already have a great English level because of my studies. 8 months ago, I had to choose my theses topic and I was so lost. However, as a universe signal, I came across with a Japanese song that I had listened to in the past. So, everything changed since that moment, I felt in love with that group and then decided to know what the songs meant. After that I wanted to learn Japanese, and I started my journey. I began to look for material online and I developed my own study plan. It worked so well; I just have 3 months of learning and I already can answer A1 exercises and write like 200 kanjis. This made me so happy and motivated me to transport my experience to my theses. Moreover, the next year I will apply for a scholarship to Japan... It seems like nothing much but for me means a lot and I know this will have a huge impact later in my life. So, I really recommend you to go beyond the knowledge you already have and go for the motivation of knowing the world through a different perspective :)

As my opinion ( my mother tongue is Vietnamese, I can speak English, Korean, and now I pick up Chinese - just because some Chinese managers couldn't speak English 😂) Maybe you have to adjust your way for learning language I guess so.

With Google translate you can point your camera at the menu or any other letters and see if in the language of you choice. Soon we will have neuralink in our brains and we will speak all languages in the world.

Perfect video

As someone living in Korea and trying to learn the language, it’s definitely already taught me so much. I now truly know how new immigrants feel back in Canada.

Perspective, man. This is so important.

@@Sprouht perhaps a side note, but it’s my dream to interview you on my channel one day. Whether back home in Canada or in another country
