[Multi Audio] Shadowing Japanese | Improve Your Japanese Listening and Speaking Skills

[@anleyy2010]

When Fumi sensei making these videos, not only our Japanese is getting better, but also Fumi sensei’s English pronunciation. I can realize that is getting better than her first video 🥺🫶 I love how you are always so kind to share these videos with us and try to improve your videos day by day 🎉🎉🎉本当にありがとうございます❤

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

That's so sweet. Thank you! But now I’ve realized that I speak too slowly. The next thing I’ll work on is speeding up!😄 いっしょに、がんばりましょう〜😄

[@shizuokaBLUES]

ふみ先生、このビデオのタイミングはちょうど良いです、師走が来たので、😂 集中して練習できる良い機会になりました、 ちなみに　私はふみ先生の指導に対する考え方に同意します。 本当にありがとう

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

ロブさん、今回は全部日本語でのコメントですね！！ ありがとうございます！ 師走は、ロブさんは忙しくないんでしょうか…？😁 練習、がんばってください。Pronunciation Challenge の課題文は、ロブさんとのレッスンから思いつきました。ご参加、お待ちしてます！✨

[@shizuokaBLUES]

VERY good video! Shadowing is a very powerful tool. BTW, your English sounds amazing!!! You practice what you preach. 👏

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

I'm glad to hear that! Thank you😄

[@MarvelousMadDog]

What you said about speaking Japanese uses different muscles in your mouth.. that’s 100% accurate. I do a lot of shadowing and whenever I do so, I notice my mouth/jaw getting a little sore from speaking for an extended period It’s similar to when you are working out in the gym and get sore from that.

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

MadDog-san, So you're now training your muscles! Wonderful!!😄

[@CuriousMouse1988]

やった！好きな先生は新しいビデオがあります。

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

よろこんでいただけて、よかったです😊

[@ervinang8203]

I have discovered the shadowing technique and have been trying to do it with ChatGPT voice model, but I like the way you talk about recording with your voice and reviewing it 3-6 months later as comparison. I hope I can improve with this technique, thank you 🙏

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

I hope so, too, Ervin Ang-san!! がんばってくださいね😄

[@colinjames2469]

フミ生さん。素晴らしいだった! ありがとうございました。

[@colinjames2469]

フミ先生. Please excuse my Typo in Japanese!

[@colinjames2469]

I know you should never say San for a teacher.

[@Carol61347]

Thank you so very much for sharing your techniques with us. I have tried shadowing, but until your explanation, plus steps to take, I was getting the whole idea wrong. This led to becoming frustrated and giving up. I am starting your method this morning and look forward to seeing improvement in time, I so appreciate your very helpful videos 🙏🏼🫶

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Carol Dowling-san, I’m glad my video inspired you to restart shadowing. But please don’t expect too much in a short amount of time. Language learning takes time, and even if it feels like you’re not improving, you’re making progress beneath the surface. Please don’t give up! 😄

[@frankousaka]

I am studying Japanese trough English while being spanish native. Please have mercy. 😶‍🌫 PD: Thanks for your efforts Fumi sensei.

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Wow, FranKousaka-san, That's very hard ...!!😂

[@UncleSoth]

Since the Japanese syntax is strongly based on particles, I feel like my biggest problem as a newbie is to "glue" the particles to the words they follow... I tend a lot to "mark" strongly the particles, putting a heavy accent on them instead of the word or the whole phrase. "Gogo hachi ji NI, Shibuya DE, tomodachi TO, asobimasu". It's so hard to not seprate every piece of the phrase! 🤣 Thank you a lot for these helpful advices!

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

You realize your problem. That's a good start! That'll be your focus point when you shadow. Ganbatte!! 😄

[@recteck]

I learning Japanese using Minna no Nihongo and also Irodori. And in Irodori, there are shadowing lessons in every chapter, and shadowing really improved my Japanese language skills. But, after I finished Irodori, I didn't do shadowing anymore and focused on renshuu for my exam. This video really helpful for those who want to learning about shadowing. But it seems like I can't sleep before I finished the video if I must do shadowing. Maybe, I just want to do a listening as usuals😅

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

I guess that's because I speak too slowly... Speeding up will be the next thing I'll work on😅

[@recteck]

@SpeakJapaneseNaturally At first, I felt that your way of speaking was not too slow for me. But after listening to a lot of audio in Irodori and Minna no Nihongo, I feel that your speak is quite slow. However, maintaining the current speaking speed is also good, especially for beginners. And if they want to hear faster or slower, KZbin provides a playback speed feature😉

[@carlwagner5610]

Thank you so much for your input, it is very helpful for all of us that are trying to get a grip on the japanese language. I myself am just starting out and wanted to do some shadowing to avoid building up bad habits. The only problem is that I feel like I am still missing too much vocabulary to be able to find good source material. Do you maybe have a suggestion regarding natural-sounding material that is easy (-ish) to understand? Many recordings go very slow or exaggerate their pronunciation when recording for beginners. 教えてくれてありがとう! 😊

[@truthserum3050]

your voice is just heaven

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Thank you!!😊

[@DeepMoonWave]

I hate how my own voice sounds on recordings T.T but I agree its a great exercise, I'll muster some courage to keep improving, thanks for this valuable advice! 頑張ります！

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

It's been six days, have you record your voice?😄 I know the feeling, but you'll get used to it. Ganbatte!😊

[@kensanokaeri]

マルチオーディオでふみさんがフランス語とかドイツ語も話してる！😄　ふみさん、いつの間にpoliglotになったんですか！！😄👍　めっちゃおもしろいです！

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

そうなんですよ、おもしろいですよね、私も笑っちゃいました。 しかも日本語へんですし😂 でもこれを聞きたいのでこれからも英語の動画を作らなくちゃ、とも思いました😅

[@udomsakkongmueng2542]

ふみ先生は英語で教え方が上手ですね。かなりわかりました。でも現在七十一歳です。いつも家にいます。たまに朝友達と一緒にテニスをしました。誰でもタイ語がはなせます。一回だけ起用しさんと一緒にテニスをしました。事項紹介。。初めまして、ウドンムサックと申します。うどんと呼んでください。ノンタブリーから来ました。どうそよろしく お願いします。しつれいですが、おなまえわ。あとできようしさんはこちらこそ、よろしくといっていました。起用しさんです。日本人は親切な人です。日本人は歩くのが速いです。申し訳ございません。この書き方は長すぎで、それで終わってしまいました。先生の説明が好きですからどうもありがとうございます。

こんにちはフミ先生！ I love the shadowing method to learn a new language and I was thinking about a model to speak like and I chose you but your videos are too long and most of the time way beyond my level 😅 Having that said, お願いをしたいのですが😁 would it be possible to in your playlist some videos to practice shadowing?

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Hi, サユリさん、 I'm sorry for my late reply. Actually, you can use some easy parts from my existing videos for shadowing practice. Have you tried this app? miraa.app/ Using this app, you can easily repeat a sentence over and over again. So you can find a sentence to shadow, and practice shadowing the sentence. This video is relatively easy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5XQoJuPhcaGepY Combined with the app, I think you can start shadowing😊

[@ヤマナ_サユリ]

@SpeakJapaneseNaturally I logged in to the app you suggested, but I don't know how it works... Do I need to buy a subscription to use it?

[@USLofiPulse-w4u]

シャドーイング、意味を考えないでやっていましたね。気づきをありがとうございました。

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

気づきがあって、よかったです！😄

[@EclipseTruestay]

Fumiさん、素晴らしいビデオやコンテンツを作ってくださって、本当にありがとうございます。 日本語を始めたばかりで、シャドーイングは少し難しいですが、先月より音のピッチが良くなってきました。 FumiさんのチャンネルとFumiさんに、とても感謝しています。 (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

𝙴𝚌𝚕𝚒𝚙𝚜𝚎-san, わ、すばらしいですね！ ぜひかんたんな文でシャドーイングをしてみてください！ これからもがんばってくださいね😊

[@jeffery021]

Are we supposed to pause the audio or rewind for parts we are unable to repeat fluently, before continuing? Or do we do that after the end of the exercise?

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

I'll repeat the same parts until I can say it before moving on. But if the parts are too difficult for my level right now, then I'll skip them.

[@정진명-m1o]

「為れる」と「為さる」の違いは何ですか？

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Do you mean 「なされる」and 「なさる」ですか？ We rarely use that kanji any more. Both なされる and なさる have the same meaning, it's a respective form of する.

[@tjarrett09]

でも私は馬鹿です笑🤕

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

自分のことを馬鹿って言っちゃ、ダメですよ！ 自分に優しくしてください😊

[@rossriver75yukon27]

Fumi-sensei, I hope I can use your teaching without reading Japanese. I can’t see well. However, I do have quite a lot of Japanese vocabulary. What do you think? Thank you.
