Man you sure know how to keep yourself busy. Learning Japanese, creating youtube videos, game development, weight lifting, drawing etc. It's pretty cool to see that in addition to learning Japanese you also seem to keep on top of your other hobbies/responsibilites. After I started learning Japanese my other hobbies that didn't have anything to do with Japanese kinda went out the window. I look forward to seeing more content from you! Even stuff non-related to Japanese. :)

[@Nameshouldbehereplz]

I really do love this channel! I'm looking forward to your video of resolve, but I'll probably watch all of them in due time. I apologize in advance if you already covered this, but do you have any tips for learning without getting overwhelmed or paralyzed in fear? That's my biggest issue.

[@Livakivi]

I think my 10 motivation tips video kind of covers maybe something like that, but not sure if its that specific. And thanks!

I like how balance your regarding your learning gols. You're not obsessed over it. And plan thinking only in the long term.

0:01 woah it definitely doesn’t feel like a year ago because I rewatched your 2021 summer “challenge” videos 4-5 times 😳

[@megaboy2811]

oh my god its insane how much i can relate to literally everything your channel is about, osu, mechanical keyboards, japanese, gamedev (recently thought about switching to godot as well) drawing, weightlifting, creating youtube videos and I even thought of switching to resolve from vegas pro 13 as well as premiere just seems weird to me. The biggest difference seems to be that you have your shit together tho, I just always end up procrastinating on all of those things :( Instant gratification sucks man... Definitely interested in your future videos, keep it up, you're one of my favourite youtubers at this point ^^

[@Livakivi]

Damn lol

[@Kyjor_]

I’ve been watching since your first video but I don’t think I’ve commented yet. I am a software engineer and hobbyist gamedev and would definitely be interested in seeing more of that content from you. I finally started seriously studying Japanese every day 3 months ago. I took it in high school because I wanted to learn but never took it seriously. I just wanted to say that I’ve watched your progress videos quite a few times over now. You are hands down the most inspiring person (in my opinion) when it comes to learning Japanese. Every time I feel my motivation slip I rewatch your videos and it helps a ton. I think I’ll create a video soon on my 3 months of progress in hopes that it’ll help inspire other people like your progress has done for me. Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to create everything you have so far. I’m excited for whatever you post in the future

[@Livakivi]

Thanks, and cool, I hope you do!

[@user-mx1rb2vz3v]

I've been learning japanese for a little over 3 months now and even though there were many days i felt like quitting, right now i am enjoying a lot the learning process, making my own cards, sentence mining from my favorite songs and animes, in only 2 weeks I already got 400 words in my personal deck, making an average of 30 cards, learning has never been as fun as it is now

You were one of my inspirations to start learning Japanese. I'm 1 week in, so far have learned 200 kanji with RTK and Anki. Going to jump into Genki 1 after I finish all 2200 kanji or get bored with RTK. :) Thanks for motivating us, appreciate the effort you put into your videos!

I guess the more you get intertwined with a language, the easier it is to remember a word. For English, you can remember some words after like 1 or 2 looks, but Japanese is so much harder for me

thank you, because of you I just reached about 21 days of consistently using anki and it feels so good to see my progress and I feel like ill actually be able to finish it

[@Lukarrem]

What a awesome video, dude! I really love every video that you have made. You've been making a lotta progress since your first video and also a source of motivation for me. About 7 months ago, I started to learn Japanese, so there's a bunch of moments when I put myself down. Your videos made me feel that I can achieve it if I keep constant about my learning. I hope you're doing good and hope your next video.

[@marquisdehoto1638]

I stared using Anki for learning Spanish and I got further than I have been in the past. Thanks a lot for that! And your videos always remind and motivate me to continue to learn :)

[@kikolektrique1737]

I’m really happy to have found this channel! You really are the best and I’ve started to learn Norwegian in duolingo because of you! Thanks! I learn Japanese once I get a hang of Norwegian

[@saiyanrivals1612]

I used Resolve for some school projects over the years and it definitely gets the job done well. Though, I never went crazy experimenting with effects so I can’t speak on that. I’d definitely love to see some fitness vids since that’s one of my main passions. Looking forward to whatever you put out!

[@sir3337]

Your series about learning Japanese is pretty useful and also motivating. I have to check out the migaku add on. (P.S. Your editing is pretty nice and also like your the use of shibas lol)

[@DanielAvocardo]

i had been ''learning'' japanese for years now. Meaning i learned the Hiragana and Katakana, bought the Minna no Nihongo textbooks and then just never touched them and gave up. However i`ve been actively learning japanese again for around two months now and your videos have been a great motivation. The way i initially went about learning vocabulary was through learning how to write each individual Kanji and its contained radicals, but that was molasse slow and still didn`t guarantee i would remember the words. But after watching a few of your videos, i decided to give Anki a try and even though i`ve only been using it for like 2 weeks or so, it feels like my progress has sped up tenfold. I know i`ll slow down eventually, but using Anki has especially helped me with consistency and motivation and more importantly, i`m now at the stage where learning japanese is genuinely fun and not just something i tell myself is fun so i don`t quit. I`m still happy i learned to write the radicals, because it gives new Kanji a lot more structure in my mind, but without starting SRS, my studying would still be way too inefficient and time consuming. I hope that i can continue on this path and ultimetely get to my endgoal, which is to have such solid basics that i can mostly ditch studying again and keep/ improve my level just through immersion, but right now i`m actually enjoying the japanese learning grind, so that endgoal can still wait.

[@808florida6]

Hey Livakivi, you really inspired me to start taking language Japanese seriously and it’s starting to pay off. Thanks for making these videos

[@jasean1]

Livakivi osu! let's go!!!! I will watch anything u make ur videos are the best

[@ObliviouzRomantic]

And here I am still trying to remember how to count to 10 . . it has been two weeks. Kill me.

[@matrixyst]

ur a huge inspiration for me in a lot of things in life, so I hope i can somewhat return the favor by providing at least a little bit of useful insight about the vegas -> resolve transition! my use case is a bit different from the kind of content you make (and you're a significantly more versatile editor), but I'm really glad I made the switch! i do miss some things about vegas (funnily enough I actually prefer the keyframing system to resolve's, though that will probably go away once I become more skilled with it), and it really is so unbelievably frustrating to continuously get stuck and drag through things while thinking "this would've been trivial if i were doing this on the program I'm used to", but it's definitely been worth it. resolve's potential is kind of ludicrous, it's such a powerful piece of software and the fact that it's free, stable (unlike premiere... that was a fun few weeks), and gets frequent updates really just made the switch a no-brainer. I've only made one serious project so far and I already feel like I'm essentially at the level I was with Vegas, and I'm sure the things I can't do at that level yet will come soon enough. I'm super guilty of romanticising the whole ordeal, but it really does feel like there's so much more potential to unlock now that I'm using resolve. hope this was marginally helpful, keep up the great work! :)

[@Livakivi]

Hopefully it will be great!

Hi Livakivi! How often do you focus on handwriting? Are you putting in any effort to learn handwriting or is it something you're not really focusing on? Loving the videos of your japanese progression!

[@Livakivi]

I haven't done any handwriting :D

[@VictorGabriel-uh8ne]

If you do want to try handwriting, you might check out the Kanji Study app, i'm learning kanji through it (instead of RTK like everyone else), it has flash cards and handwriting lessons with stroke order, pretty useful imo

[@JudgeJeana]

I would love to hear your thoughts or tips on time management! How can you balance work and all your hobbies? How could you learn 5 h Japanese a day? I can't seem to figure it out for myself. 😢

[@Livakivi]

I learned 5h a day only for 3 months during the summer when I didn't work a full time job. When I was working full time, I was mostly just doing Anki during commutes, in the bathroom, during other idle times when I needed to wait, etc. I didn't have much time for immersion, but thanks to being able to do Anki during such aforementioned idle times, I managed to manage it somehow.

I wish I had the time to also learn edititng, blender and get better at drawing during the summer. But I work all the time so I only have time to focus on language learning :,(

[@user-vf2sq6pt7p]

I thought I was the only one doing 20 new cards a day, glad I am not alone. Well certainly there are people who might be doing even more who knows

[@vali69]

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I'm 45% done with core6k. I do a lot of reviews daily, ~100, with a constant +10 new cards per day and I have been doing it for 125 days or 4 months and a few days. I like to just go straight into the card because if I can't recall the word after 5 seconds, I won't remember it after even after a minute, and since I started I have kept a rule of hitting good on newer cards until it tells me that by hitting good they'll reappear within more than a month, if I remember everything on the card, I'll hit good regardless, if I don't remember the card that well, I will hit again. Like I kept new cards in a cycle, just not a daily one. I also have to mention I've also done a tango n5 deck normally, and v2k which I'm 60% done and doing concurrently with core6k. It's also much easier than v2k so I get less reviews for it. My main goal is to learn new words so I'm not too focused on kanji, also since I've found that I somehow ingraine them in my mind with the words I hear, so I don't focus on how they look, their subparts and radicals, I just remember the words when seeing the kanji. Which is exactly what Matt vs Japan said will happen, that you'll look at kanji and immediately know what word it is, similar to how we look at words in the language we acquired and don't go letter by letter but instead we can immediately tell what the word is. Anyhow, I think that with this approach I've taken I'm able to slowly acquire the words together with the sentences but with a larger pool of words, while with the tango n5 deck I was able to learn all the words in there(to the point where I don't even hit again anymore after 8 months with the deck) in 4 months but with a lot of daily repetition that sometimes brough 150 reviews daily. Now I can get exposure to a whole lot of words and slowly learn and acquire, which I find especially effective when I get a card I already know and remember seeing the words within it in my immersion. Like, with all this I tried to adapt to myself. I, most likely than not, have ADHD and probably also Asperger's, and can't focus on anki for more than half an hour, I'm not able to recall cards that I hit again on to repeat in a session. Something that I did a lot while trying to learn kanji in the rrtk deck which ended up making me hate the whole process because at the time I didn't know I had ADHD or it's symptoms or that it meant that my inability to remember something short term is caused by it and I can't do anything about it and the fact that someone could tell me to do something but I would immediately, like after 5 seconds, forget what they told me to do either entirely or partially so I would end up asking them to repeat what they said. I don't even know why I wrote all of this, I guess I just want someone's approval and being told that what I'm doing will in fact help me acquire Japanese. I've spent like half an hour on it also, so I'm not going to delete it.

[@Livakivi]

Experimenting with different approaches and finding what works for you can be fine, there are no rules on how this tool should be used. Think for yourself and just try things out, and see what works.

[@deathdoor]

Nice, I'll be waiting for godot.😉😉

[@VictorGabriel-uh8ne]

Hey man, how did you study grammar? I'm doing it by reading Tae Kim's Guide, but I feel like I already forgot a lot halfway through it, and there's no good flashcards for grammar like there is for vocab. How did you do it? Awesome videos btw, seeing your progress is pretty motivating.

[@Livakivi]

I read through it and forgot most of it too, but over time I just saw the grammar points in the wild during immersion, and sort of remembered something from the book, or read some chapters again.

[@chiefsosaya7869]

After effects > SV 13 > Everything else imo AE has unlimited creative freedom which makes it perfect for artistic people like me (please do game dev vids btw, it's one of my favorites of yours)

AE is great, but its definitely not meant for timing/cutting/handling audio for like 32 minute videos, which is what Premiere is for, but with SV its way more annoying to use both at once for sure.

Hey liveakivi you’ve mentioned before you learn all your kanji through vocab so i wanted to ask should i drop my rrtk deck? if my retention rate is horrible on it cause my vocab deck has a 88.5% past month retention rate and my rrtk has a 65% retention rate, i think it has a lot to with sounds

[@Livakivi]

Its up to you, but yeah, I personally don't really like learning kanji separately. I did actually use RRTK for over at least 600 cards I think, but I just deleted it because it felt like a waste of time to me, and I'd rather just keep it simple. Some people say it helps though, so its up to you.
