[@danielesquivel8567]

I've been chatting with a Japanese language exchange partner for orver 2 years now and our secret to keep our friendship going is to chat in a way that's more like "postal-letters". Since both of us are constantly busy and the time zone difference is very big, we usually reply to each other's messages at about every 4 to 5 days. We usually speak about how it is going in life, or our country's problems or traditions, food, games, manga... and such in messages that are longer than usual so that kind of keeps our conversation slow paced but constant, and we never run out of ideas of what to talk about because this way it is like we're having a very prolonged conversation instead of saying "hi, how are you" and running out of things to talk quickly.

[@mayphoo3407]

Omg same! I also have a Japanese language exchange partner for about 1 year and just like that! I'm not so busy but they are.So I send them a message and a few days or maybe even a week later,they texted back.I'm not mad.But sometimes I think they are not busy and just bored to talk to me. We are in good terms tho

[@rukiichi85]

where did you find a person ?

[@TokuyuuTV]

I really like the advice of playing games at language exchanges. It gives an opportunity to actually learn candid Japanese WHILE breaking the ice so you can actually talk about interesting topics. Personally i found that 15% of my Japanese speaking/listening came from language exchanges, and 85% from making friends with people at the exchanges and just practicing on our own time while hanging out. Making friends is the MOST important thing you can do!! 🤧

[@gapedandamazed6988]

Lucky you. As for me everyone hates me everytime I meet someone on discord they block my ass after a while lmfao xD

[@imotosquid1692]

I think the romantic part which you talk about is so true. I’ve had heard so many times of people confessing on HelloTalk and I get the question “do you have a boyfriend” a lot which is why I decided to change my setting to only talk to the same gender… it’s like you’re not interested in language exchange after some time, because you’re able to communicate anyways

[@svetozavrik8163]

[@janapokorna3142]

Thank you, it was interesting. :) I have a good Japanese friend I met online and we've been chatting in English with some sentences in Japanese (because my level is low, around N5-4) and after some months we decided to do videocall once a week. It's been so much fun, we are talking in English most of the time but never had a problem with what to talk about. We regularly watch some anime videos with subtitles and we try to play some language exchange games (like explaining a thnig in other language, guessing the other persons character, guessing which sentence about him is true or false), but I have to say I am afraid to speak Japanese because my level is too low, so I get embarrassed I don't know much of the language. :D but so far it's been great experience and I can say it's better and better. :)

[@aphr0d]

Better to be embarrassed and speaking (and improving) than to not be speaking at all

I've been learning Japanese for a few months now and it's been a rocky, but fun journey! Language exchange sounds like a cool and fun thing to do, but I'm not good at talking to others (or making foreign friends) about ideas like: "hey I had this idea, wanna be a part of it?" usually because either the person doesn't have time, I make it sound weird (I try my best not to but I'm bad with communication, thanks introversion), or the person doesn't seem interested. This video gave me lots of positive things to think about for language learning! ありがとうございますオナマップ-さん！

[@shoham2792]

Thank you for this interesting video! I always enjoy watching your videos because they're very わかりやすい and actually brought me to a level where I can watch other japanese KZbinrs like hajime syacho . I have a few ideas for videos that will help me and others too, they're about japanese grammar mostly: 1. How to use ほど, I've seen a lot of ways but I don't really understand how to use it. 2. The uses of よう, it's also something a lot of japanese learners struggle to understand. 3. Maybe you could make a video about your favorite japanese snacks so when we'll come to Japan we would be excited to try them out!

[@xXDESTINYMBXx]

2. Isn't よう just an emphasis on the previously said topic. Maybe we mean different よう.

[@shoham2792]

@@xXDESTINYMBXx I didn't really understand what did you mean by emphasis, can you give me an example? Anyways it's has a lot of meanings and uses so it's not that simple.

[@tatamimatt_]

Oh wow, this video came at the perfect time! I did a virtual language exchange from about late October to mid December this past year with another student from my university, and a student from a Japanese university. I totally agree with how adding in games can be a big help; I tried to incorporate as many games over the course of our exchange and I think it helped to bridge the language barrier. In terms of actually practicing the language, I do think we're on similar levels of comprehension, I just get flustered or tongue-tied when speaking, so I often revert back to English or Japanese-English hybrid LOL. Fortunately, our Japanese partner is studying abroad at the university we're at, so we'll have a lot more opportunities to improve on speaking, and become even better friends. おのまっぷさん、教えてくれてありがとう！それで、あけおめ！

おはようございます！☀️ 明けましておめでとうございます 🎉 今度、ひときさんは言語交換について話したら、自分の経験と思い出しました🤔 たしかに、言語交換は不思議な感じがあても、大変な瞬間がありますね。 学校に比べて、言語の勉強はとても楽しくなるので、友達と一緒に、新しい知識を勉強しています。みんなは仲良くなって、言語の勉強の意思ができて、本当に素敵ですね。 しかし、もし相手のことが好きになってしまったら、悪いとことです 😔 友達だったのに、今はもう出来ません。言語交換のことを始まったばかりで、その間から、なにもできません。後で、言語の勉強も少し辛くなりますね。 とにかく、ひときさんの言う通りで、「自分のレベルに合った人を見つける」と言うのは、どんどん楽しくなりますよね。いいですね 😊 皆さんも、今から、言語交換しましょう！😉😁 ひときさんの同じで、言語で心配しましょう 😂 ひときさんが去年で厄年ができても、今から、良い2012年になりますように！🙏🙏

[@bbbeige]

The romantic part is so true TT I actually know this one person through Twitter; he plays the same game as I do, and I thought it'll be nice if we became a Japanese-English conversation partner. I ended up using formal words whenever speaking to him since I find out that he's older than me by 4 years. But he mistook me as a "genuine" person, his ideal type, etc. I ended up getting confessed by him and it made the whole friendship awkward ^^; I decided to only have a conversation partner with the same gender for now.

Yep that's absolutely true what you said in the third part. Some people just don't care about their partner's speaking skills of their language and just use them as a medium to speak that language. This makes the another person lose interest in learning. ちなみにあなたは人との交流がとても上手です

It is hard for me because how do you actually start speaking it? You need to learn enough to start speaking but then you are limited, then you will need to keep learning. Its like the egg and the chicken. Which comes first, you learn and then practice, but you need to practice to learn. Maybe i am just rushing myself..

[@JqiOng]

I really like the idea of playing games for language exchange but it's so tough to find people to do so. T.T I've recently been participating in a language exchange program online and I was able to meet many Japanese native speakers. While it's a good experience, I feel like I'm lacking so much. I have no issues understanding what they say, but I just can't articulate well what I want to say. The vocabulary magically disappears when it's my turn to speak T.T

[@keitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

Relate on this! I only have one language exchange partner and everytime it's my turn to speak (in Japanese), it seems that the amount of vocabulary that I know suddenly becomes the basic ones.

[@BeinThatGuy]

this happens for me as well, more reading out loud and being comfortable with patterns for speaking has been very helpful so far. Easier said than done, but not being hung up on being correct all the time is helpful as well.

[@LegatoCirion]

Don't worry too much about this! It's just what speaking in foreign languages is like. The vocabulary you can easily use while speaking will grown on its own if you continue!

[@JqiOng]

@@LegatoCirion thanksss. It's just a concern since I've been attending lessons.. and in a couple of weeks, I'm gonna start advance level too.. it's such a downer to realise that even as an advance level student, i can't converse yet =')
