[@aquamedicalruh]

your channel is so good I swear you're the best youtuber, I learned Japanese basics and I can understand you because you speak slowly and your content is sooo interesting. Whenever I don't understand something, I just turn on the subtitles for a few seconds then I turn them off, and you put some english on your video on the difficult words. Huge THANK YOU !!!!

[@jay5010]

My motivation is pure, unadulterated spite. I was told you had to be born with a gift to learn languages to get even remotely good at a second language, and that I'd never be good at English. So I became fluent. I'm planning to become fluent in at least 3 more languages, just to rub salt in the wound.

[@Onomappu]

Thank you for choosing Japanese as your 3rd language✨

[@TTMS-Khaz-kun]

You show 'em who's got the last laugh! It's absolute BS that you'd hae to be born a certain way to learn languages. I've struggled with learning Japanese, but I barely struggled to learn English since my childhood and I'm able to speak it fluently.

[@JM-kj3dx]

omg yes, none of the people I know speak more that 2-3 languages (B1+) but I've already know 4 (2 of them completely self learnt, and 3 more OTW)the only person that I know that knows more than 2 is my sister XD

[@soullesscadmium30]

Gifts help but trust me, hard work matters more than talent. An unmotivated lazy talented person can never do as good as a person who works hard.

[@Connor-db3ii]

I know it’s a year on but I got told in school that learning a language isn’t for me when I failed French class but loved everything Japanese so I decided to learn a more difficult language out of spite…I’m with you ✊✊

[@steffimeier3238]

“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.” that's my motivation! I want my crush to feel at home even though he's far away from Japan. No matter if he likes me back or not!

[@facundocesa4931]

I don't have a lot of motivation for studying japanese. Just the pleasure of understanding a little more each day. I also have no discipline, and no habits. I have another thing. I have FUN. I'm having fun watching this video. I understood almost everything. I have fun reading a little manga in Japanese (with furigana, and I read manga when I've already watched the shows, so I already understand the story). I learn songs because I have fun doing it. I watch japanese shows paying attention to the dialogues, because that's fun for me. When I stop having fun, I stop. I'm not the quickest learner, but I haven't suffered at all. That's my humble advice. Try to find things for which you need no motivation or discipline at all. Things you get drawn to because you're actually enjoying. Then you won't stop.

[@user-kl3pl1gf7x]

I'm not quite sure I agree with that. Maybe it works for you, but even with the things I love more than anything else, I do still need discipline and motivation to meet my goals. I could study Japanese just whenever I want to, but it would take so long to get anywhere that I'd probably give up in the middle. ^^;; I think realistic goals, discipline, and motive are the three most important things. You need a strong reason to learn a language (such as just simply loving the language), plus some good goals i.e "I'll learn ten words every week" and then discipline, which usually comes in the form of a good habit i.e "I'll review my flashcard deck every day." That's how you remain a pretty quick learner without suffering, at least in my experience. I wish you luck though!

[@facundocesa4931]

@@user-kl3pl1gf7x well, MOST language learning in the world, by far, occurs without discipline. It's done by children, who just need to understand and communicate. Well, I have a pleasure of understanding more and more. That's how I learned English as well. I found pleasure in understanding books, songs and movies. I actually never ever speak English. I just read and listen to it a lot, and I write a little.

[@saymyname2618]

I understand what you are saying, that if you are unable to be a disciplined person you use the fun to make you learn, like when you cant convince a child to do something speaking but if you offer some candy they do it immediately, so in theory if you never stop feeding the child with candies they will never stop doing what you say. But we thats not how it works. Ideally you should have BOTH discipline and fun, because if you are getting bored, lazy and even with all your determination you cant stand reading one more page of the textbook then try something else that is fun, to keep you engaged. However you can't rely on that to get things done forever and that were disciple takes place, the nearly unstoppable force of habit, built with patient and time, like muscles in a gym. If one fails the other is there, like a couple of Gigachad and ... Female Gigachad.😂😂😂

[@user-kl3pl1gf7x]

@@facundocesa4931 Yeah, children absolutely need to learn their native tongue in order to live their lives and are surrounded by that language and constantly being interacted with in that language, so it's easier to learn. They NEED to learn it, whereas most of the time no one needs to learn a second/third/non-native language. They just WANT to. What you're talking about is immersion which is a really good way to learn a language, especially English since so much content is in English. But for, say, someone who speaks English natively and is learning Japanese... Technically there aren't many reasons you'd have to learn Japanese, and it's hard to find opportunities to use the language when you live outside of Japan. That's where discipline comes in; and it's especially important in the beginner stage of learning, because beginners cannot really have fun consuming content in a different language when they don't understand a single thing. For example, I created this account イフェラ with the interest of only consuming Japanese or Japanese -related content with it. English is easier for me to understand than Japanese, so my natural tendency is to watch English videos because I can follow along easier -- but I have discipline, so I watch mostly Japanese videos. This is what allows me to improve enough that I can enjoy more and more content in Japanese, and without discipline, I would have given up before I ever got the chance to enjoy it.

[@aguyininternet1317]

In my case, I stay motivated because I feel enormous frustration listening to music in Japanese and not understanding anything. Also when I study Japanese I feel nice on my chest and I like that feeling

[@keerthanashanker8489]

I used to feel stagnant when learning Japanese because I tried to do everything simultaneously (listening, speaking, writing). Nowadays, my daily Japanese practice is just listening to podcasts and jotting down words I don't understand. I might not learn much in a day but it is sufficient for me to remember and understand them. I'm a very slow learner and when I see people being able to speak Japanese fluently in a short period, it gets me really demotivated. However, I've come to a realization that I'm not competing but learning. Reminding me this makes me enjoy the learning process a little more and go easy on myself.

[@user-kl3pl1gf7x]

Agreed! I was the same way, burning myself out by trying to learn everything at once. It's really exhausting to put 100% effort into learning everything you possibly can, every single day. I think if you spend enough time listening to podcasts and learning new words, you'll absorb a lot of other things (like pitch accent and grammar rules) naturally, and you'll be fluent in no time! You might want to consider keeping a Japanese audio diary or finding a Japanese friend to call, though. I learned the hard way that even if you have great listening comprehension and understand pitch accent, proper grammar, etc., you can still really struggle to actually speak in the language. :'D

Originally my motivation for learning Japanese was to be able to play a certain video game in Japanese. I picked it up last time I was in Japan and brought it home... and found out it was English dubbed all along 😂

[@purpleplays69420]

I just straight up switch the language of an English game to Japanese if Japanese is an option

[@funpheonix9752]

I’m looking forward to the time I can watch your videos without subtitles 🥰 my motivation is the fact that I love so many things about Japan and the Japanese language.

[@Jeff-sc1hf]

My motivation to keep going is a bit corny. I was going through some really tough times, and the song "やめるなら今" by Higuchi Ai which kinda snapped me out of it. My hope is to one day be able to write to her and thank her in Japanese.

[@elfchild9]

That's actually an awesome motivation. (Also, thanks for the song rec!)

[@Loreccino]

this kinda strengthened my motivation behind wanting to learn japanese (I haven’t started yet but I’m planning to do so next month), it’s basically 3 things: 1) fulfilling a long-time dream I’ve had, I’ve been interested in learning japanese since I was a teenager (I’m 26 rn), 2) wanting to understand more about the culture through language (which is connected to #1 since I’ve been interested on it since younger), 3) and more recently, to understand japanese media in general since I like some celebrities lol... and I’m also interested on getting into j-music and entertainment so I’d love to be able to consume content without depending on someone else to translate it.

[@ネコタガワ]

My first reason I started learning Japanese was I was addicted to manga wasn't translated into my language. So I tried translate it myself (just for me, to understand the story). And after first try I decided to learn Japanese because it interested me and was completely different from the languages I had learned before😅 I think it's a little bit strange method of motivation, but when I think someday I'll be able to read without translators and dictionary... It gives me strength and desire to learn💪 But, of course, this is not my only method of motivation, it's just the most effective for me now :)

For me I have several motivations. First I want to travel to Japan one day to visit and second I watch a lot of anime in Japanese with subtitles and would like to be able to understand more what the characters are saying. I've picked up on some words and phrases just by watching anime but I also realize I have to be careful because real life Japanese and anime Japanese are different from the way its spoke.

[@anyutasanchez360]

Honestly, and it's not just being educated, your videos are a huge motivation. Just take it. I think that without discipline no way to just base the whole studying on motivation. Even if you can do just two words a day, you establish the discipline that helps you move forward.

[@orozcocarmonamariafernanda0914]

My motivation to learn Japanese is because I have a "platonic love" for a Japanese voice actor 🥰 (lol) and I want to understand what he says (for example in interviews or radio shows) a little better, but not only for that I learn Japanese, it's also because I've made friends with several Japanese girls and I'm currently enrolled in a Japanese association and I like to interact with the Japanese people in charge of that association 😊✨ But in addition to that, one of the requirements to graduate from the degree I'm currently studying is to speak and have knowledge of two languages, fluent English and some other language at an intermediate level (there are two languages you can opt for, French or Japanese) and I opted to continue learning Japanese (I started learning Japanese before I entered university), so that's also a motivation to continue learning Japanese ✨

I mainly watch your videos to try reading the Japanese captions, so I’m basically trying to hear pronunciations of kanji and if I can’t fully understand every syllable of the said kanji then I tell myself “I’ll figure it out eventually” Right now I’m learning Japanese similar to how a toddler would learn words and what they mean, I watch Japanese KZbinrs, they say a particular sentence I want to use at some point, I listen closely to try understanding every word said and repeat it a few times until I’m confident I’ll remember that sentence A few words and phrases I learned while using that strategy 入りたくない I don’t want to enter 来て come here ボニー、優しい心を持っている、僕のお父さんい同じている (I randomly thought of saying this sentence when I was playing a horror game on rec room which is a knock-off version of The Joy of Creation, I don’t think you know much about it but you can research about that game if you want, it’s a FNAF fan game is all I’m gonna say, the horror game on rec room was called “Ignited Bonnie” I believe and when I said that sentence I was in a corner and there were two hallways on my left and right, I was facing diagonally to the corner of a wall, I was hearing Bonnie’s footsteps from the left hall and I said 「ボニー、優しい心を持っている、僕のお父さんに同じている」 a second after that I saw him charging at me full sprint so I ran through the right hall and right before to caught up to me and killed me I shouted 「あんたの赤目目はきも」if you English speakers are wondering what I said “your red eyes are cringe” and the other sentence “Bonnie, you have a kind heart, it’s just like my dad” I said that because Bonnie’s endoskeleton chest was exposed and had no heart and also the joke of your dad leaving to go buy something or go somewhere and hasn’t returned in years or decades, I don’t think the dad leaving and never returning joke is a big thing in Japan so a lot of Japanese people would be confused if you made those jokes, I basically said something usually sarcastic in English but said in Japanese which doesn’t have a whole lot of sarcasm, not saying Japanese never has sarcasm, they do, just not as much as English, so you wouldn’t sarcastically say “perfect, just great” in an inconvenient situation, in Japanese, you’d pretty much say “this is bad” or anything along those lines in any bad situation)

I'm stuck in a limbo between beginner and intermediate. That kind of level where you just have to force yourself to immerse into media content, read manga, books and listen to as much native content as possible.

I agree with the karaage person. Not that karaage is hard to get/make, but the feeling of accomplishment of learning a language I love and eventually moving to a country (fingers crossed) that's more suited for me, all by my own efforts... picturing that right there is a huge motivation. It helps that I am having trouble digesting our own cuisine as I grow older (too spicy for me) and Japanese cuisine might just let me survive lol. It also helps that Japanese is the sweetest sounding language of all languages I have heard, and the only way I get exposure to it is when I actively learn. My mother tongue sounds ROUGH, like someone is constantly swearing at you. English sounds meh and I had to learn it against my will anyway.

My motivation is because I want to travel to Japan, and being able to speak with the natives. Also because I watch anime, and I love the language and the culture. In my opinion if you love the culture of a country, it's easier and funnier to keep learning. Also, on some days it's really hard to keep learning, keep your motivation high, there might be worse days, but it's really worth it once you reach your destination! And the process, the journey which makes it so worth it and fun.

Some of my own thoughts about motivation: 1. JLPT would be a total waste of money. I don't even have any English related certificates because I simply don't need them at all. 2. I don't actively learn any kanji at all. I mostly use OCR and learn them passively when I encounter them enough number of times. 3. I have less than 0 motivation to study and use keigo. It's simply not in my style. 4. Before graduating from the university I could relatively easily get a good passing mark on Japanese subject to increase my overall grades' avarage. 5. After learning Japanese for so many years at this point I can't get myself to stop anymore ;)

I'm learning Japanese because I was jealous of my friend who can speak japanese well eventhough he didn't learn at all and also because now I can speak to Japanese people through vrchat easily to practise. also I picked up some japanese while watching little anime so might as well just learn how to have conversations.

Study for enough years than when you loose motivation you look back and think: "Well, I cannot give up NOW, or else I would have wasted so many years! You're in too deep to get out now, bitch" Tested and proved method by yours truly

I already speak 3 languages on fluent level, but my dream, is to become a physic scientist in Japan, on CERNish places, where I can make some discoveries in elementary physics, as Peter Higgs and many others did
