LIVE Radio Interview Speaking Only Japanese (English Subtitles)

OPEN THE KZbin ENGLISH SUBTITLES. I first came to Japan for short term language study in 2015 after living in China. Since then I have lived a combined total of 2 years in Tokyo. My Japanese and Chinese are fluent but will never be perfect. Making a short video buying food or just doing a self intro will not show the depth of my knowledge or the grammar mistakes that non-native adult learners all make. Here are clips from me speaking Japanese during a 1 hour LIVE radio interview where I talked about living in Japan including my biggest mistake here. The woman interviewing me is Japanese living in America and I am American living in Japan. This should be fun.

OPEN THE KZbin ENGLISH SUBTITLES. Adult language learners, do not be fooled into thinking your goal is to be “perfect”. Unless you are just having a short simple conversation or are writing a short message, the little mistakes will come out and that’s ok. I did an hour long live interview in Japanese and posted it to show you my little mistakes. And that’s ok! I read and speak Chinese and Japanese at a university level. Let’s LEVEL UP here on KZbin from ordering food, to an in-depth cultural conversation challenging enough to hear a few mistakes.

[@speedyg2012]

Note to self: Don't invite any girls who don't know you well to love hotels...

[@alexshawe1990]

I'm currently learning German and I find that difficult and there's you who can speak Japanese and Chinese, yet you dont have an ABC alphabet. Very intelligent indeed.

[@Eric-le3uu]

I agree. Also, in case you haven't seen any of Steve Kaufmann's videos, I suggest checking them out. He talks about imperfections and similar topics when it comes to language learning.

[@OrientalPearl]

Rabbit with a sun tan Exactly! If I only show you me ordering food, there’s no challenge to that. It’s easy to speak “perfectly” for a few minutes doing a simple conversation. I want to show people what fluent and perfect actually mean. People should be trying to get fluent, not perfect. I argue that no adult language learner will ever be 100% perfect in every aspect. But the most important thing is language proficiency in speaking, reading, listening, and writing.

[@Greensky02]

Without someone else to point out my mistakes and guide me as I speak, I would definitely be paranoid about my pronunciation and tone. ALL the time! >.

[@patrickretsel7048]

Thanks so much! I wasn't very good at switching languages in the beginning. It took a lot of practice. But there were many Chinese people in my Japanese language school in Tokyo, so we switched all the time and I just got used to it.

[@charlieb6526]

Oriental Pearl well that explains it. I have been watching his channel quite a bit. Thank you for the response and I look forward to your next video.

[@PentragonCosplay]

Listening to you speak these two difficult languages is somehow so beautiful and also very motivating! I am German and can only speak english so far, but I started with japanese one year ago. But it´s a struggle to remember all these Kanjis, sometimes it feels as if my head can´t fit more than 100 of them, haha. It´s really a matter of constant repeating and I of course it´s easier to learn if you live in the country and you are surrounded by the language. Anyways, you sounded very fluent and confident in this interview!

[@OrientalPearl]

Thanks so much for watching! Japanese is a big challenge. I listened to her podcast for many years until I got the courage to go on the show. Learning in an up hill battle. But Kanji can be learned and mastered with a lot of dedication and hard work.

[@duomax100]

Very good interview. I love it so much. You did converse well during the interview. Keep up the good work and good luck with your Korean study.... 😄✌️🙏🙏🙏...

[@SasuwuVT]

I don't know why but finding out we're from the same area has got me motivated to pound Japanese into my head, if you can do it so can I!! I'm 23 and hoping it's not impossible to at least learn a baseline ❤

The interviewer was right, you are going to get to and then get past 10,000 views. Pretty soon you won't be able to reply to every single comment on your vids! I think you present yourself in a very genuine way that I really appreciate, and I also have the impression that you have poured yourself into achieving as much mastery of your languages as possible. Keep making videos as you have time, you're going to gain a following, I guarantee it.

[@OrientalPearl]

You are right about keeping up with the comments. But I'm trying my best to keep up with it. I want to chat with you!

Increible story about the old man! Carefull please. Nice channel and God bleedsyou. My english is not perfect because i'm basic. Im try to watch yours video to learn more english.

[@OrientalPearl]

Thanks for checking this one out and I'm glad you knew how to open up the subtitles.

[@user-rs1wc9qs3n]

Fantastic interview, you did so good. It's easy for me to feel like my Japanese is worse than it is, I'm at n3 trying for n2. It's easy to feel intimidated or not good enough from other speakers. It's awesome you can speak Chinese and Japanese. I think Chinese sounds so cool but I don't actively try to learn it. Maybe I can watch more Chinese movies and stuff though to hear it. I'm trying to teach myself Korean too. It's such a slow process self teaching.

[@OrientalPearl]

Live interviews are pretty hard because you never know what to expect and there is no time to plan out your answers. But it was fun. I was nervous too. Don't think I'm not nervous even if I don't look it.

[@michaelt3308]

FANTASTIC! I think you have more courage than most people including myself. I studied French in High School and College and lived in Montreal for 3 years. My proficiency is decent but nowhere near your Chinese. I think fear holds a lot of people from learning a new language AND travelling abroad. I give you tons of credit for pursuing your dreams regarding both

[@OrientalPearl]

French is such a beautiful language though. It just sounds so cool. Even just a little bit of it.

[@bennri]

When I'm complimented on my ability to use chopsticks - which is not great - I know it's not sincere. The more profusely they apologize, the better an actor they are. I think it begins to affect mental health: "what is the real me?"

lol then it might drive you crazy to live in Japan

[@bennri]

@@OrientalPearl that's why I think I was there too long. The first year is "wow, Disneyland!" The third is, ugh let's get through this. The tenth is: if I stay here any longer I'll go crazier than I already am.

[@alexshawe1990]

Brilliant. Your accent sounds so fluent to me and I honestly cannot tell if you're speaking 'good or bad' Japanese! It sounds fantastic to me. It was so cool how you managed to speak to that lady from the podcast, too. Keep up the great content 🔥

[@OrientalPearl]

Thanks, that's the problem with multilingual videos. People watching don't know all the languages being spoken. I have been so impressed watching those people that say they speak 30 languages only to hear their Chinese and Japanese and question everything I just heard.

I wish he did. I want to know how he did it.

[@chrismac3696]

YES, Americans say "sorry" for smaller/quick mistakes. If you bump into somebody on the subway, you say: "Sorry!" But, if you spill your coffee on somebody, on the same subway, you must apologize and then...RUN, as soon as the doors open!!! I remember one time, I went to a movie theater and got a pack of popcorn. As soon as I got back to my seat, by mistake I poured/dropped the whole buttery popcorn on top of the person sitting in front of me!! I DID APOLOGIZE 100X!!! I DID NOT RUN, THOUGH!! Love your channel! Keep it up!!!Chris/NYC

Awesome interview!

[@speedyg2012]

Really cool. We can all learn new skills if we find a way how to whether we're young or old. 'Practice makes perfect' maybe a misnomer sometimes with languages as you said. Practice makes you a better each time is better imo.

[@OrientalPearl]

Exactly! I started very late, but it didn't matter in the end. And I know more vocabulary in Chinese than a lot of American Born Chinese, even though they might have a better accent. There is so much more to languages than surface level stuff.

[@OrientalPearl]

I'm glad that you opened the subtitles. A lot of viewers couldn't figure out how to do that lol

[@Paul_Wetor]

Your best skill is your willingness to make mistakes. You are skilled with two languages, but you don't worry that you are not perfect at them. That's what holds many people back, I'm sure. I was in Shanghai once and I was afraid to even say "Ni hao" because the person might assume I knew some Chinese. There should be a stopper word to indicate "don't expect any more than what you just heard."

[@OrientalPearl]

That's true. I don't want adult learners to get discouraged because they can't be perfect. And I don't like when other KZbin channels say they learned as an adult and proceed to tell people their Chinese or Japanese are perfect. That is simply not true. I heard them speak.

[@LeslieAmato]

Wow just one month and already monetized wooow huhuhu

[@OrientalPearl]

They approved it really fast, like just 3 days. It usually takes a month. I think it was fast because I removed the copyrighted content and also I have very few videos. It's easy to reviews.

[@bladedspokes]

Wow she went right for the jugular didn't she? And you killed it! You don't have to speak perfectly. I think people just appreciate the effort when you take the time to try to communicate with them in their language. :)

[@OrientalPearl]

Japanese and Chinese? You got it going girl...it dont matter if you think your Japanese isn't perfect you can do both and that's awesome!

[@OrientalPearl]

Thanks so much. Both languages are on university level, but saying perfect is a step too far in my opinion.

[@BoStark]

Do you speak any Korean? I found that language to be super interesting. Wonder how hard it would be to learn for someone who speaks both Chinese and Japanese.

[@OrientalPearl]

Korean would be easier to pick up after Chinese and Japanese, but I am debating whether to learn Korean or not, because I don't just like to study languages to a basic level, I want to learn to a university level, which is a toooooooon of work. And it requires living in that country.

[@ThoseBackPages]

How great was this??!?!!? You mentioned you did not start learning these other languages until you were an adult. Now that you are officially a KZbinr (on the bring on 10K subs, btw!) can you please make a "how i got here" life overview? Pretty please? :)

Hello, may I ask whether your Japanese, especially the Japanese culture, is mainly learned in English or in Chinese? Because I saw you said before that you also took a Japanese language courses in Beijing, then I guess it was instructed in Chinese. There are definitely HUGE gaps between Chinese, American, and Japanese cultures. It must be extremely difficult for you to learn Japanese in Chinese (cuz I’m learning German in English as well). If you like, plz share some feelings about this kind of unique experience. 最近日本的疫情也越来越严重，take good care and wish you all the best!

Thank you for your concern. The schools recently closed down in all of Japan because of the virus. Learning Japanese in China was interesting. The teachers used a lot of Chinese and it kind of felt like Chinese class. So, I switched to a Japanese teacher's class who only spoke Japanese to us. That helped a lot.

I learned one world in Malay while visiting there: Kelur (probably spelt it wrong) I think. It means exit.

Have you ever tried to get JLPT or HSK exams? If so, could you tell me which one you got? I was just curious.

[@OrientalPearl]

I passed HSK6 in 2015. I have never taken any JLPT tests because I had no reason to take it. I think HSK is more accurate because it has an essay writing part at level 6. JLPT includes no writing part.

[@ronniejamesdio6889]

@@OrientalPearl Really? Doesn't JLPT help you to apply for a scholarship in Japan or finding a job? Which parts does JLPT include?

A love hotel? Is that a place where you can rent a room an hour at a time? Fill us in on this piece of culture. In fact, do a video and take us inside one. Bet that gets a lot of views.

[@OrientalPearl]

Ha, there are lots of videos out there about that topic. Do a youtube search.

How the heck did you learn Japanese at a university level for only living here for 2 years?

[@OrientalPearl]

Cool as Cucumber Gooooood question. I studied outside of Japan as well, mostly at a Japanese language school in China before coming to a Tokyo. I’ve studied Japanese since 2015 to be fair. Lol

The crazy cultures of the world.....Too Proud to Say You’re Sorry? In Japan You Can Pay a Specialized Agency to Do It for You. ... They have these ‘apology agencies’ through which you could simply pay someone to say sorry on your behalf.

[@OrientalPearl]

YES! I'm impressed that you know about that. You must have watched some youtube videos about it. I learned that from Asian Boss.
