Learned Japanese in 30 Days to Watch Anime Without Subtitles

I challenged myself to learn Japanese in 30 days to watch anime without subtitles. It was difficult at first but I started to get the groove on it. Here are some of the websites that helped me along the journey. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Nobody can learn Japanese fluently in 30 days, so don't feel bad. It's a long, long road, but keep going!!

[@arizona_iced_out_boy]

I'm 3 years in, living/working in Japan and I still feel like dumb child. It's a hard language, but I enjoy learning it still and reading feels rewarding. I don't think I got to a point where I could watch anime comfortably until like recently tbh. Even then, I have to have Japanese subtitles on to read along with, but it can be just a case of my reading is way stronger than my listening.

i was like 5 mins in and expected this guy to be a huge youtuber with like million subs but i looked down and 148?? cmon, dude deserves more fr

[@PARZ90s]

@7:18 I like how honest this part is. I see a lot of videos saying they learned a language within a week, while some may be true because they are used to studying languages, is this the case for most people? Of course not. Learning a new language takes a lot of time and effort to keep in your muscle memory. Good luck on your journey.

Find a throwback like Inuyasha. All you have to know is "Dog, demon, half demon, idiot, fox, wolf, and sit". You'll score a 90% easily! 😂

[@DanielGolding1337]

I'm on day 1000, averaging 3 hours a day. Still can't do anime without subtitles. I mean I can understand a lot, but there's a lot missing, and it's mentally exhausting.

[@itzhippo2072]

Are you still going? How’s the progress?

[@DanielleLaRocca]

I’m learning Japanese as well to be able to watch my favorite actor without subtitles.. lol it’s hard but I think being consistent helps for sure. You’re way further than me, but it’s nice to see someone else going through the same struggles while learning a new language.

[@journey2b_a_master]

Ik I'm late, but you should continue. I would love to see your progress

[@0831Onkei69]

Language learning is a long and time-consuming process for everyone. Even for polyglots... You can say you did your best with this super short term challenge.

[@oosmanbeekawoo]

The subtitles will be there but we just need to watch 'em without! You never know when the next episode's subtitles will be delayed for an hour or two. Gotta prepare our entire lives for this moment where we will truly shine! xD

[@PlayerReatreat5837]

Wow. Thank you for the Tofugo webaite and your experience to study japanese. Thanks for make my Spirit up to learn Japanese 💪🏻💪🏻

[@yunnnnnno]

It took me about 4 months to master Hiragana Alphabet, and yeah mastering hiragana will make you learn katakana very easily. And now I'm struggling with Kanji

[@lauraidv341]

Do u learn by ur self or join a japanese course?

[@yunnnnnno]

@@lauraidv341 by myself

[@turbosnail6119]

@@yunnnnnno Can I ask what resources you used? I've tried Duolingo but I've heard that Duo's Japanese course isn't good and to use LingoDeer instead. However I think once you reach a certain point, Lingodeer cuts you off and you have to subscribe to continue the course. Also so far with my experience, Lingodeer doesn't explain anything. You just fail over and over and it doesn't tell you what you're doing wrong or gives tips.

[@fearthebearu9855]

Weird i learned myself too but it only took me 15 days i can read write katakana hiragana writing part still needs more work though

[@yunnnnnno]

@@fearthebearu9855 15 days and you still need to work more. 4 months for me to master Hiragana and Katakana, which I can fluently speak and write without hesitation. So what is so weird about that? 😫

[@shimewaza]

It was a nice challenge but there is no way you're going to be able to understand an anime without subtitles in 30 days. Might be possible to do it in a year if you are super-dedicated and immerse yourself in Japanese everyday for hours (and have a natural talent for languages).

[@smithyjake]

Only if you are a Korean who speaks Mandarin or Chinese who speaks Hangul, then, you have a chance to learn Japanese enough to watch anime without subtitle in 30days. The SOV structure is brutal to english speaker.

[@kinkin8330]

I'm not English native speaker but for me learning Japanese is more easy than learning English,as Japanese grammar is the same as my native language, and I can just translate it directly however when it's come to English I have to translate it from the last word or middle words

[@siyacer]

what language

[@DaughterofPersephone0630]

Kin kin what is your native language?

[@AntiTheBird]

@@DaughterofPersephone0630it almost certainly has to be Korean, I don’t know any other languages that have same grammar as Japanese

[@Gikkou]

I learned all hiragana and katakana in 4 days, the hardest part is learning all the jplt 2 kanjis 🥲. I would recommend after the alphabets start with the particles, then kanji with vocab

[@davevanfunk8917]

20% is a great start, and Anime will help you learn current slang. Plus you'll be able to read Manga. Gambate, Armondo!

[@ramikla_146]

Master the basics in a week The thing is you don’t have a professional teacher that uses comprehensible input as one of his/her methods of teaching And you’re not learning a language like Portuguese

[@shinzo1444]

すごいですね😂

[@NEKUSOOK]

It took me 5 weeks to remember all of hiragana, HOW

Underrated acc. Just subbed tho

[@DonovanSlue123]

i got both genki texts for free.

[@yoshihasascended]

Are you still going ? I really hope so because most people do 30 day challenge get burned out, see no result and conclude that they cant learn japanese. It's really just a long journey, the key here is consistency which a 30 day period is not enough but in a consistent 365 days you can learn your first 1100 words and go more in depth in grammar and sentence mining in anime

[@yoshihasascended]

if you still dont have anki i recommend getting it and install the 2k/6k deck

[@armandosky]

I’m still learning 👍 I’m struggling here and there but it’s all part of the process

[@_uchiha]

​​@@armandosky could you do like a 60 or 100 day check up video to show your progress nevermind I saw this video was made 6 months ago 💀

Why missleading Title!!!! not right thing to do bro.

[@sierracomix]

You got further in 30 days than I have in 6 months xd I'm back on top, learning stuff again (I took an extended break) I'm (kind of strategically) avoiding practicing joyo Kanji, because once I start that, it'll be awhile before I'm done. If I miss anything important, I'm stuck not knowing it very well until I'm done

[@Kidfishstick1]

Copy of cole hashting?

[@SherrifOfNottingham]

This has never been a good motivator for me Being somebody who's been in theater (though I was personally on the tech side I was around a lot of acting) learning the japanese I did made me disappointed, Japanese voice acting is... frankly awful. Lip flaps don't usually match up and the actors over act AND use a lot of words and expressions that are extremely abnormal. It also showed me how glaringly inaccurate subtitles actually are, and how dubs OFTEN have dialogue that matched the original script better than the subtitles we get. Frankly learning Japanese made me become almost exclusively a dub watcher.

[@randomchumbud121]

アニメを見るなら必要なら、日本語には勉強するべきところと勉強しなくていいところがあるから、そういうのも知らないと難しいよね😅
