Japanese Guy Has FIRST EVER English Lesson

[@AbroadinJapan]

I'm a simple man. I see Natsuki, I hit like.

[@dragonpuppy9555]

Same aaaand done. :) Only, I'm a girl. Can't wait for Natsuki the Movie!

[@kekerosberg1654]

Yep. I have a japanese friend who is like natsuki. Her english is similar and Im tutoring her and she is tutoring me.

[@undercoverscab5570]

Abroad in Japan I am like, I Natsuki hit, Simple man see

[@xinr]

f**king cleaner

[@systemcm6978]

句無 Ouch!

[@St_Rizla]

I bet Natsuki never imagined he'd become famous from a random English lad he bumped into on the street one night.

[@St_Rizla]

IngLouisSchreurs A night out leading to that is something you'd never expect.

[@Kizylle]

butterfly effect

[@gabrielaureliyo1841]

LMAO

[@St_Rizla]

I don't get how that could have anything to do with the butterfly effect.

[@Kizylle]

Either you're being sarcastic or you don't know what the butterfly effect means.

[@AbroadinJapan]

I won't lie I was pretty god smacked at Natsuki's ability to hold a decent conversation, given his lack of English study. HUGE thanks to Charlie for tutoring him over the course of the hour - I'd like to point out for the sake of keeping the video a reasonable length, I cut out most of Charlie actually correcting/teaching Natsuki unfortunately. Charlie has a free ebook on language acquisition which you can find here (bit.ly/2iTGfvI) - it's a really interesting read. For those of you learning English, he's also got his own channel called "Real English with Real Teachers", which you can check out here (goo.gl/XkbUFL)!

[@josephk6869]

Abroad in Japan Looking forward to a progress report on Natsuki's God smacking English speaking abilities. Soon I'm sure he'll be the dirty dog's bollocks! Anyway, speak to you spoon Chris!

[@lawlie95]

awesome! more content daily :}

[@AshThunor]

I love how this guy Charlie tutors people with bad English all the time, yet Natsuki still made him laugh all the time.

[@Quifuh]

For the Sake? Faku Sake!

[@SLOBeachboy]

For some reason this reminds me of an incident which happened when I first lived in Japan back in the 80’s. At the time I had a Japanese friend who had lived in the States before and on this particular night we were on a double date at a restaurant with two very innocent and demure looking Japanese girls who didn’t seem to speak a word of English between them. My friend on the other hand spoke perfect English and, as he was also very well versed in English slang, he decided to it would be funny to play a little joke on the girls. Basically he would whisper some raunchy English slang into the ear of my date and tell her to repeat it back to me out loud, then I was supposed to do the same with his date. It was really awful stuff too, like “I want to suck your c#ck” or “please lick my p#ssy”. Anyway, hearing those words come out of the mouths of these sweet, innocent, and very clueless Japanese girls mouths had me laughing so hard that I literally nearly fell out of my chair. It’s just a shame there were no portable video cameras back then.

[@nopass6247]

Natsuki actually has really good English for a non-native speaker without education beyond high school. He can follow a conversation and has a really strong vocabulary. It's a long way beyond punk-rock lyrics. He'd have no problem getting around the UK alone, when people spoke slowly and avoided colloquialisms (as they would do with foreigners).

[@GwyndolinOwO]

i think that's somewhat common with people who learn- its a 50/50 on "i listen very well but can't speak it well/quickly" and "i can read and write it well but not listen or speak it". considering how long (or not that long) he's been learning English he's been doing great! and i know both him and chris are pretty busy people so that just makes it even more cool to me that natsuki wants to try something like this.

[@observer4916]

"We are now going to do word association" "Word station" "...yeah"

[@x3TUNA]

I heard that as "Word situation" xD

[@franktheballer23]

Wot in tarnation

[@franktheballer23]

i think youre on the wrong video

[@joeysukhi6889]

[@hammy1470]

[@EthanfromEngland-]

Tutor: Are zombies religious? Natsuki: ...Treasure...

[@markbv591]

Ah, that was great.

[@forteandblues]

Do you have dogs bullocks?

[@nessamillikan6247]

Lol, when the tutor mentioned zombies and Natsuki mentioned a crucifix, he was probably thinking of vampires in between but couldn't explain it. Zombies and vampires, vampires and crucifixes.

[@666HeroHero]

The tutor probably did not know that priests/clerics can use Turn Undead. Smh. XD

[@jefforymitchell5697]

I mean Jesus was literally a zombie, so it makes sense to me.

[@tripplehelix]

"I went to shop and I ask for dogs bollocks" ... He learns very fast.

[@alexcarter8807]

doughnuts - dog nuts.

[@Chipster971]

"I want to go to Croydon" That's the first time that sentence has ever been said in the English language

[@spacechimp3199]

Maybe it’s where Chris is from! 😂

[@jonathannoble7845]

At most, people HAVE to go to Croydon.

[@JustinJurazick]

@@jonathannoble7845 I assure you this applies to the Croydon in Pennsylvania as well

[@XTh3Joker25X]

Lol considering that my area

[@IndianaJonas96]

NATSUKI THE MOVIE???? IVE NEVER BEEN MORE READY IN MY LIFE.

[@joeysukhi6889]

VIBuddy IKR I'M GODSMACKED

[@n.w.2579]

Most definitely the dog's bollocks!

[@CtrlAltPotato]

I want it to be VR

[@BlGBenY]

"Zombies are strong. So, they are religious?" Natsuki: "Yeah, licious"

[@tatianaabramovskaya8765]

That Charlie guy doesn't follow. The cross is definitely an association with vampires (zombies = vampires), like a protection against all that's unholy and impure. That tutor sucks at his own game.

[@bakerwilliams12]

THERES A NATSUKI MOVIE COMING UP??? *deceased*

[@AbroadinJapan]

It'll be fucking mental. I can promise you that.

[@AsheCyberia]

theycallthewindmariah じゃ。 Time to expand dong

[@AsheCyberia]

John Malkovich as well as devastation

[@AsheCyberia]

Yuta Miura also respect

[@LeiChaobruh]

Abroad in Japan oh shit boyyyyyy

[@selinatokatligil14]

I love how Natsuki wanted him to drive an hour for 10 pounds 😂

[@malovent538]

Mans not in England he's already started haggling 😭

[@aa-yt7wo]

A taxi from Shinjuku to Haneda airport is about that time/distance and costs 75 pounds or so

[@wayward4657]

He's not used to the currency probably. He most likely knows a pound is worth more than yen, so he just overshot how much more

[@DeliciousPigeonCheez]

Yeah, in a black cab £10 won't even get you 10 minutes.

[@HodgePodgeVids1]

I think the car heavier than 10 pounds.*

[@AbroadinJapan]

So Natsuki: The Movie is very much a working title. I'm sure the finished documentary will have some really clever name with a pun in it somewhere. Filming starts in May in London, and we'll also be filming in Tokyo and rural north Japan. There's a possibility we may put Paris in there as well. I'd be lying if I said we had it all planned out at this stage, but one thing remains for certain - it should be bloody entertaining. Hopefully it'll take Natsuki one step closer to his goal of being a famous rock star billionaire. For now though, thanks for your support guys - I'll speak to you spoon.

[@WyomingGhost]

Love your videos Chris, so happy for you and all your success.

[@AbroadinJapan]

Many thanks :-)

[@PerMortensen]

I I quite like Natsuki: The Movie as a title.

[@slickrichie]

a man from Japan goes to landan. in that cockney voice sort of way

[@fish4penguins]

Please do a London fan meet up with Natsuki!

[@TheSupar]

'I want to go to Croydon' those words have never been said before this hahaha

[@elwick_photo]

im sorry, but natsuki trying to work out what Bollocks means has made my day XD

[@Mantzy_AUS]

yeah mate, It was totes the mutt's nuts innit

[@ShinDMitsuki]

"Cheers for that" "Dogs bollocks" "Chinwag" "Gobsmacked" Man this is just as much a lesson to me as it is for Natsuki...

[@AbroadinJapan]

LET'S HAVE CHINWAG.

[@cowsarefun123]

Abroad in Japan you rock, keep up the videos! The production quality had massively improved over the past few months!

[@jacobjohansson6536]

Hello! I have a great idea for a video, as we know Japan love fish. BUT! Do they like Surstömming? Whould love the see if they do or dont!

[@kerrymccarpet]

How do we in London get to meet Natsuki?!!! HOW?!! x

[@mrdoolio]

CHINA WANK

[@left4play]

What is the name of that outro music?

[@Dzinglamon]

I found out about Abroad in Japan around month ago, and now I can't wait for every video to be released, I love the humour in this channel and the Natsuki :D Man, can't wait for the Natsuki THE MOVIE! Best wishes from Lithuania!

[@giulia2051]

Please Natsuki, never ask a shop assistant if she has dog's bollocks 😂😂😂

[@DragonRidingHood]

Or horse meat for that matter 😂😂😂

[@harudakanzen7945]

Min Yoongi deserves the world I'm from Japan and didn't know much English before and when I visit U.K. they tell me to say "I want fucking items" to the cashier, I got in a lot of trouble

[@sub4rctic]

Or a vacuum cleaner.

[@hijack69]

石川俊哉 That's hilarious...lol

[@matts6805]

Min Yoongi deserves the world I'd pay to see that though I have to be honest 😂

[@zachariahswartz5970]

I love the teacher they got for him.. he should have his own channel and they need to do a follow up as natsukis english gets better!

[@lukealexander5109]

So proud of Natsuki! I've tried learning languages in the past and know how difficult it is. Go Natsuki!

[@robertgallagher1130]

I was going to make a comment asking why Chris couldn't take Natsuki on as student, but then I realised there are probably some ethical and legal problems around taking on someone you've done Wanko Soba with as a student.

[@h.mansari8802]

Robert Gallagher I don't even know how to reply to your...well.

[@morningcoffeecat2271]

I'm new to the channel but what is Wanko Soba?

[@h.mansari8802]

Liam Cahill it's a noodle challenge I believe, food related. And the man above made a horrible pun.

[@Vertex_Draco]

I didn't even know about this Natsuki movie, or the crowd funding. How could I have missed this.

[@AbroadinJapan]

Poor promotion on my part perhaps! (It's here): goo.gl/XXog4C

Maybe I just have a terrible memory and forgot. Well, I do have a terrible memory...

"Zombies are strong, so they are religious?" "Yes." HAHAHAHA

[@bitting619]

I would be gobsmacked if the shop assistant actually had some dog bollocks for sale. Great video Chris. i'm currently using Memrise to try learn some basic Japanese for when i go to Japan in August, better to know some than none at all. Natsuki you are doing really well, keep it up!

[@batbby3015]

This is just SO PURE. Japanese-English is an amazing thing & well done Natsuki!!!

[@brooklieburn]

"Speak to spoon" XD lol

[@morningcoffeecat2271]

Ikr

[@eggymixes]

He actually knows quite a lot of words, can understand what’s being said to him and can reply to at least keep a conversation going. Not bad tbh.

[@danielsingleton9743]

If there is not a scene in 'Natsuki: The Movie' where Natsuki asks a shop assistant if he has dog bollocks, I will be extremely disappointed!

[@alastorcrow2180]

italki is amazing man. Been using it for a few months now. I started studying Japanese a little more than a year ago and one of the first channels I've subscribed to was this one. Always entertaining and a lot of fun watching your videos.

[@RookieCookieWookie]

a great way to start my morning!

[@amplifymysound]

this is the greatest thing i have ever seen. This needs to be a constant segment PLEASE

[@Elzilcho87]

I kind of want to see how well he'd get on without any english lessons at all. The entertainment factor would be off the charts with netsuke constantly repeating punk rock lyrics at people in engrish as his only way of communicating.

[@AbroadinJapan]

Haha, don't worry - I suspect not even a handful of English lessons can prevent that from happening.

[@Grace-es9fc]

Abroad in Japan is he going to get a duolingo account

[@fezza73i5]

+Abroad in Japan Oi, I'm fucking Natsuki 😂

[@threestepssideways1202]

Yeah, Natsuki sitting in a cafe: *Waitress* ''Morning sir, what can we get you today'' ? *Natsuki* ''The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in Meltdown expected, the wheat is growin' thin Engines stop running, but I have no fear 'Cause London is drowning, and I, *I live by the river* !'' That would make my decade to hear Natsuki get his chops around that.

[@tams805]

No, no, no. He needs the English lessons, so that he can learn and remember some English phrases that he can then inadvertently use in inappropriate situations.

[@Neferit]

Took me 4 days and an abundance of data usage on my phone but now I've seen and liked every single video on this channel and your 2nd channel. 10/10 would do again. Best regards from yet another Swedish pirate!

[@Miss_Nimbus]

Well done Natsuki! My secondary school French wouldn't allow me to hold this level on conversation. It would pretty much end at bonjour!

[@keepXonXrockin]

anna williams "Bonjour.... eehh... je..... Au revoir."

[@roxas_rucksack1042]

Lol 3:51 Tutor: "word association." Natsuki: "word sitchayshun." Tutor: "...yeah."

[@argo12]

Natsuki is just friggin' adorable! I am SO READY for the movie!!!

[@heidihudgins4793]

I love how you said he learned English from punk music, and he says, "Nevermind the bollocks!" Sex Pistols reference! Very cool, Natsuki!!!! I cannot wait for this movie! You two are so funny! Your dry British humor and his earnest Japanese humility are a stark contrast. What a duo!

[@kokonots]

Your channel is like cheap yogurt between luxury cars.

[@-TK-]

Why would a car dealership serve yogurt?

[@PHAileyANIME]

no no no no...its much more like cheap cars between luxury yogurt.

[@Momochan144528]

Good luck Natsuki on your studies! Thank you Charlie for tutoring our Natsuki! and thank you Chris for providing us new video and being awesome~

[@crypticvega88]

The fact that Natsukis english is not perfect but still has confidence is why people like him.

[@cyber-eye1152]

Natsuki is so hilarious. I think I must have replayed the beginning where Natsuki says “special”about 50 times... guaranteed to make you laugh in to tears every time.

[@tkttnk2546]

Chris, I am Japanese and big fan of You. But I am not good at English(especially listening). Could you make Japanese subtitles?

[@AbroadinJapan]

There will be subtitles later this week! Sorry for the delay!

[@tkttnk2546]

Thank you so much!! I love you! I especially want Japanese subtitles of ''4 Ways Living in Japan Changed Me" video!! P.S. I like UK and your British accent because of Premier league !

[@sjtez]

For somebody that says they are not good at English, your English is outstanding! Your comment is more well-written than the vast majority of KZbin comments I'd say.

[@tulirongtuliro]

sjtez its easy to understand english when you write it.

[@tkttnk2546]

sjtez9 thank you,mate. But strange to say, for many Japanese (including me) , reading and writing English is OK, but listening and speaking English is terrible :_( This is because of f*cking Japanese educational system!(too much focus on grammar) Probably Chris knows that well. so I will try italki like Nastuki :)

[@Lu-xw6cy]

I like how even the tutor couldn't help cracking up half the time, Natsuki is such a gem

[@tinkier]

it's so cool that natsuki learned most of his English from punk music! that explains his affinity for "justice!!!!". what are some of his favorite bands???

[@xaIlGG]

Hey Chris. I found your channel lately (I believe through the NK video), and I really like your content. I'm always sceptical to learn much through vlogs/blogs as many are often only showing the positive side, so it's hard to get a real glimpse. But with your vlog, I feel you genuinely love your new life and found your place there which is inspiring! Happy for you and keep it up "Otsukaresama deshita". PS Natsuki is hilarious. Is it even possible for anyone to not like this guy haha, I find it hard to believe.

He did pretty well. My college has a lot of international students mostly from Japan. They arrive with some ability to communicate in English.
