Japanese Speaking Practice with Mayumi 先生 on iTalki

[@jaytriestoplay3647]

After over a year of strictly immersion self study with an emphasis on listening and less on grammar and writing/reading, i was actually suprised i understood the sensei without looking at the screen! I was even able to answer in japanese as well (pretending i was on the call )😂😂😂 🎉

[@learnwithcindy9395]

Great! I’m happy for you! 👏🏻💁🏻‍♀️

[@Tyranthraxus78]

Wow I understood almost everything…currently studying “Japanese From Zero!”…well done!

[@learnwithcindy9395]

Thank you. I’m glad to hear that. Keep it up 💪🏻

[@MyRRRMMM]

Very interesting. I could understand almost all. But I don't think that I could answer so fast than you.

[@learnwithcindy9395]

Let’s try hard together. Just don’t give up. My Japanese isn’t perfect too. がんばれ 💪🏻

[@catsnekos5002]

Yeah same here. My understanding is ok but I suck at talking because I don't have anyone to practice with :')

[@gustavomacedo9918]

You speak really well. Can you tell me what's your study plan? I've been learning japanese for 1 month and I still in trouble with some readings (too slow) and I can barely understand people while listenning

[@learnwithcindy9395]

Hello, I’m sorry for my late reply. Thank You for watching my video. I don’t really have a study plan apart from JLPT. I mainly learned from Japanese dramas and talking to my Japanese friends via voicemail or sometimes phone call for listening and for reading, I read some of the stories that are made for kids. Sometimes I open KZbin and search easy Japanese stories and they read out loud for you and you can read along with them while reading the subtitles. That’s how I mainly learned. Hope that helps, best of luck 👏🏻

[@AnilSingh-ii3lh]

very nice video

[@learnwithcindy9395]

Thanks a lot

[@lightsummer-roblox6938]

I'm like a beginner in Japanese and barely know any. Do you recommend I use italki? Also cool video!

[@learnwithcindy9395]

I highly recommend. Choose the teacher, tell her/him your Japanese level and then have a class with him/her. They will definitely help you speak in easier Japanese depending on your level. Don’t worry.

[@MrWackydoodles]

this is so nice! I've just finished learning katakana and hiragana and have completed lessons 1-9 in in the minna no textbook, I've also learned 200 words so far, what do you suggest I do and when is the best time to start using hellotalk? Thanks a lot, would appreciate your feedback

[@learnwithcindy9395]

Thank You so much for the comment. I suggest you to watch more of Japanese films ( I recommend dramas but not anime) then repeat what the actors are saying, you can learn about speaking informally and communicating in casual way from films. I also suggest you to listen to Japanese songs. You will not be able to speak quickly if you rely too much on books. Most Dialogues in textbooks are not used in real life, same as watching Anime. (that’s what my native Japanese friend used to tell me). So that’s how I learnt to speak. Or you can also practice speaking by reading out loud the texts or use shadowing method. Hope it helps! Best of luck!

こんにちは、私は日本人です。私はiTalkiで英語を学んでます。語学は凄く楽しいですね。 がんばって下さい。😀 Hello, I`m a Japanese. I'm learning English with iTalki as well. I consider that learning languages makes lots of fun for us. Good luck.

[@learnwithcindy9395]

@@tyasu7793 Good Luck in learning English 👏🏻 頑張ってくださいね。

[@Nioren-p3v]

I recommend a movie called "Monster" og 怪物

[@learnwithcindy9395]

Thank You

[@Gantaipao]

iTalk is app to speak with 日本人? I wilk give it a try. You learnt till Lesson 8 & can communicate that much (Yes, Drama/Movies). Sugoi ne .. I am also learning from Genki Textbook + Movies/Drama/KZbin/Anime. XD 👍

[@learnwithcindy9395]

Thanks, I studied less with Genki. I used Minna no Nihongo textbook and I finished N5 level. I’m already in N4. And iTalki isn’t only for Japanese learning. It’s an app that you can practice your speaking in a target language that you’re learning. Not just Japanese. If you’re learning Korean too, you can select Korean and you can talk to native korean teachers.

[@jtrow5023]

What dramas do you recommend or do you think movies are better?

[@catsnekos5002]

I am curious : what is the approximate level of that lesson? I want to take a Japanese course and I would be at that level XD.

[@learnwithcindy9395]

That’s N5/4 level. I’m currently N4 in grammar but my speaking skills are still poor so. You can discuss with the teacher you chose before taking the lesson. You can let them know what your Japanese level is or they’ll probably ask you. For me, I told the teacher that, I’m pretty okay with reading & writing but only the speaking I need to work on. Then they’ll speak slowly depends on your level of Japanese by using easy words. Good Luck 🤞🏻

[@catsnekos5002]

Thanks :)

[@EasyJapaneseSL]

what is the screen certificate ??

[@paulwalther5237]

I think the other teacher complimented your pronunciation too. I don’t usually get that 😆. They just say I speak well.

[@learnwithcindy9395]

They always say ‘Your Japanese is good!’ even if you can only say ‘こんにちは’ 😂

[@moshicloud]

since when r you learning

[@learnwithcindy9395]

I started learning Japanese in 2020.

[@moshicloud]

@@learnwithcindy9395 wow and you could already speak like that 2 years ago. When you watched lot of japanese movies, were you watching with eng sub or japese sub using a tool like language reactor and looking up words?

[@learnwithcindy9395]

@@moshicloud Well to be honest, I just watch Jap films with eng sub cuz there's no way I could understand the actor's speaking, they speak way too fast. 🥲 I check the Eng sub, then I listen to their accents/speakings and I wrote down in my notebook. That's how I used to memorise new words or phrases. And I still use that method. I'm already in N2 level but I still can not watch Jap films without eng subs yet.
