I think this would be really helpful, as it's a good way to check your level in different areas. I find the N4 listening and reading to be easy, but when I think about what I can spontaneously produce, it's probably around this level. I think there will be the most demand for N5/N4 videos, but it would be nice to have a good number of N3 videos too, and at least an example video for N2 and for N1

It's an interesting phenomenon, being able to comfortably understand everything that's being said, but knowing that the relatively advanced phrasing would never have occurred to you to say yourself. Guess that's just how it is when there isn't anyone to practice conversations with.

[@Shiojiri22]

Wow that's exactly what I was thinking. Since Japanese isn't my only second language, I'm very familiar with this feeling of being able to comfortably comprehend whatever is being said, but realising that I wouldn't be able to speak like that myself. It's just a symptom of not practicing speaking the language. It happens with your first language too, but the difference in comprehension and skills and speaking skills isn't much since you would have enough practice. It's interesting how our brains work lol.

[@Suedeash]

That's why if you can, use apps like HelloTalk, or try and find conversation groups near you. The other option is to just talk to yourself like you're insane which is what I mostly do, but you can only really go so far with that (but it helps because you need to practice speaking and constructing sentences). Failing all the above, just blow your life savings and go to Japan, that is truthfully the most effective way to learn rapidly.

[@connorsmith3282]

With enough listening, speaking will come rather easily later

It's soooooooo helpful that the english subtitles are of the actual japanese spoken and not an "englishified" version which makes more sense in English (4:38 is a good example, read in English on its own this sentence is wild lol)

[@gacha.annamation]

It's true, it's very helpful! But actually the sentence you mentioned was the only one I didn't quite understand, so could you explain it to me pls :)

[@guydht1]

​@@gacha.annamationLol It basically means "I need to think about what can I do in order to keep it from being eaten" The "avoid *it* being eaten" part is inferred by the context, hence the english sentence says "to avoid being eaten" Japanese is weird, no context is the norm

These videos are super helpful in letting me know where I stand, and I would love to see more N4 videos to help me bridge that N5-N4 gap more adequately. I actually understood the clips better in increasing order, as in the first clip was the toughest and the last one about gomi, the easiest. Thank you Mochi-sensei!

[@rain.6881]

Is the difference that big? I've never learnt Japanese, I only watch anime, but with that knowledge this wasn't that much harder. For me, it was pretty much the same. I mean I couldn't perfectly understand everything, but like 70% of every stories (including the ones from the N5 video).

[@nicuraiach]

Well, if we are just talking about getting the gist of the message, sure, it's not too hard. But imagine having to speak it. To do that at the same pace and with the same phrasing, I know for a fact I can't do that now. There are many technical aspects of the language she uses here which I'm not yet familiar with. Plus, we are only just talking about listening here. Speaking and writing would be a whole other game.

This is super weird. I have never put any effort into learning Japanese. But I have been watching anime with subtitles for 8 years now. With just that, I was able to understand 80% of it all in the first attempt itself. And I could figure the other 20% immediately within the context. I can already speak 3 languages pretty well. My mother tongue (Telugu), and the two most understood languages in my country (Hindi and English). So maybe being a multilingual makes learning a new language easier?

[@notcyfhr]

I never studied grammar I’m not saying it doesn’t work because it does but don’t try to brute force memorize it because your brain will have a huge conscious time lag. Idk how much you understood but definitely shouldn’t take long with 5 years of kanji study. Did you only study the writing system? Because I would imagine you would’ve read or watched tv shows or something because no grammar means little to none traditional school and textbook study. Because even a little vocab, kanji, and input for, I don’t wanna put a number on it but let’s say 1-2 years should easily get here realistically if your not like me (lazy) it can be done in less than half a year. I assume tho you meant you understood it but the grammar was elusive making it ambiguous or a “I know the words but not the sentence” moment.

[@j.a4196]

​@@notcyfhr thanks for taking the time to write your comment. Yes, I understand several words here and there but my brain doesn't register the full meaning of the sentence.
