Our Family Speaks Only Japanese for One Day - Again | Life in Japan Episode 157

[@gm130s]

Impressive. I'm a Japanese-Japanese dad raising kids in the US in the deep south, trying to have kids learn Japanese but your kids speaking far better (granted ours are 6 and younger). I love the positive vibes y'all cast out. Thanks for inspiration.

[@LIJ]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jackmehoff4429]

its easier to learn the language when u live in the country that speaks it.

[@cardboardclub]

Hi! I'm hafu and managed to stay bilingual in both languages and what helped was having one parent speak to me exclusively in Japanese and the other in English. Knowing both languages securely is one of the biggest skills my parents gave me and I'm so grateful. I've seen many other hafu children forget one language overtime and I find it really sad since I feel like knowing the language is what allowed to me stay truly connected to people from both countries.

[@drelvod]

Hey, so i am fluent in Portuguese and Spanish despite being born in and growing up in the US. The reason for that is: my mom is native spanish speaking and my dad is native portuguese speaking. as i was growing up, they would only talk to me in their native language and would only listen to what i had to say if i responded in said language, even though they had already learned how to speak english. it was frustrating .. but i'm glad they did it.. cuz i'm fluent in 3 languages and i can say i grew up speaking all three

[@romy1223]

Please speak to them in Japanese as much as possible … they will learn English because everyone else speaks it … but I have so many friends who have parents that speak one language and they can barely understand or speak it and the parents are In the same boat with English … it just feels like a waste of a culture, education, and tradition. As an adult learning languages I would also appreciate having learned more as a child.

[@zendjmix]

子供達が日本語ペラペラなのはわかるけど、パパ＆ママも結構理解してるよね！ いくら住んでいるとは言っても大人になってから全く違う言語を身に着けるのは難しい！

just amazing how much more easily kids can adapt to a new language.

As someone living with depression, I'm honestly so baffled and impressed by how positive and lively you people are. So many people talk about how hard it is to become part of Asian countries' society and culture, and while I know you probably also face your challenges too, it seems you're just kind of gliding through it and taking it with the exact right attitude. You're like "how it SHOULD be". But you actually ARE. I can honestly say you are guarding your children's mental health very well in this world somehow. Where you get it from, I have no clue, but it's impressive. I don't know what it's like off screen, but I still think you're doing a lot better than most people. So yeah kudos to that.

[@LIJ]

Thank you so much. It can be a real challenge to stay positive, but guarding our priorities has been key for us. We prioritize our relationship with God through Jesus Christ (we are Christians so that plays a key part in how we live and what you see) and our relationships with others (our family, our community, our church, etc). While we try to be the same onscreen as we are offscreen, but now that everyone has got so used to having a camera around that I think we get their natural reactions (like Becca's reaction at the end of the video). I pray God's blessing on you. Depression is not a fun battle to fight, but it's worth fighting! Thanks for commenting.

Japanese is easy to learn and difficult to improve, especially the honorific system, while Chinese characters are much easier, especially if you have learned Chinese, you will know how simple a language is. Overall, the Japanese language world is well-deserved among the most difficult languages.

You say that this family is a model family for foreigners living in Japan but you must consider that there are a lot of foreigners that moved to Japan already when they reached the adult age! These kids were either raised there or born there (idk since this is the first video I’m seeing from them) so it is easier for them to learn the language. You are right that it is nice when foreigners can speak Japanese but you can’t expect that from all of them!!

[@danhill1186]

I love these kinds of videos! The bilingual skills of the children are just amazing. It's a pleasure listening to them talk Japanese. But the parents' Japanese is great too! Absolutely admire how you are putting the effort to learn the language - I've been learning Japanese too, but it's been quite difficult for me since I don't always find the time for it while having a full-time job. Your family seems to effortlessly embrace and live in two cultures and languages, and this absolutely is something to celebrate!

Being able to speak/communicate in another language is an amazing gift. I have yet to reach the level where I can hold a conversation in another language other than English (my native language). Japanese is on the list of languages that I want to learn, currently, I'm using Drops for Japanese but I'll have to search for additional resources to help with learning the language.

As a Korean living in America, I wish I took more care to retaining my native language. While I was 4 or 5, I only knew Korean while I started in America. But now I am in college, I know only English (while studying Japanese). It's so helpful living in another country that is different from your native speaking one. I hope your kids retain both English and 日本語！

[@spacemono5419]

its really great you and your wife speak japanese and speak it with kids at home! I think a lot of times when westerners (or anyone migrating to a different country) but especially when it is a mainly homogenous country like japan that has a very different culture, it can be hard for young kids to find an understanding and assimilate to the differences of their home life and school. But by bringing Japanese into the house, it alows them to feel more comfortable and not have to worry about living almost two seperate worlds. Ive heard stories of families from e the US to Japan who have very strict no japanese and only english rules in their house, but that could be hard especially for young kids who see their friends at school talking one way and their family completely different. Its important to have a balance which its great you have
