Well, I got 95% of this video. My skills are improving! I noticed when I started re-watching Gntama that I understand a lot of the show as well now. Language learning is strange because it does not often feel as though you are making progress more times than not. But occasionally something happens and it is like an epiphany.

[@user-wc7hl6sw8j]

Same for me, I started immersing myself a couple of months ago, while I knew a lot of words I couldn't understand even the most basic sentences. I definitely don't understand everything now, but I have improved massively without even really noticing

[@burjalmadre]

Thats so cool! Ive been trying to study as much Japanese as I can from here in the US. I'm doing a pretty decent job at picking up Kanji, reading, grammar etc, but what would you suggest for listening comprehension? I'd love to be able to watch something like this and understand 95% too! Any recommendations on sharpening listening comp?

[@ChrisCrous-bq1cf]

The cleanliness of Japanese rooms always makes me feel happy

[@guitarsaremyfriendzzz7077]

The toilets are very polite and will sing to you as well.

あけましておめでとう。とても良いビデオですね。私は13年前に日本に住んでました。当時 日本の会社に勤めていましたから 日本語がペラペラでしたが、帰国して以来、日本語を話す機会があまりなくて 能力がちょっと下手になってしまいました。だから今 KZbin で日本語会話 ビデオを見ながら練習してます。このチャンネルのビデオはとても分かりやすくて便利です。今年3月にまた日本に観光旅行で行くつもりなので会話を練習するチャンスがたくさんありますね。次のビデオを楽しみにしてます！😊

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

3月の旅行、楽しんでくださいねー！　たくさん話していれば、きっと13年前の勘がもどってくる気がします😄

[@pluviophile1988]

日本語もう上手ですよ！日本に行ったら全然問題ないと思います！十分ですから

[@jackbussy3133]

私は68歳で、フランス人です。40年前、日本で3年間働き、真剣に日本語を学び始めました。残念ながら維持する時間があまりなく、だんだん忘れてしまいました。 マンガを通して若者が日本語に興味を持つようになった今、手軽に日本語を聞いたり読んだりする機会がたくさんあります。 でも、フミ先生のビデオが特に好きだということは認めざるを得ません。いつもとてもクリアでモチベーションが高まります。引退間近になった今、次のステップは京都で家を借りて実践することです。 セカンドライフを与えてくれてありがとう先生。パリに来てください、私があなたのガイドになりたいです!! 素晴らしい仕事をしてくれてありがとう（そしてあなたの声はとても楽しい!!）

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

京都で家を借りるのはすてきですね！　ぜひ実現してください。 私もいつかパリに行ってみたいです😄

あけましておめでとうございます🎉❤動画に撮ってありがとうございます

[@teklaroma9645]

Three weeks ago, when I first watched this, I only understood around 30% of it; three weeks later (now), I am up to 80-90%. It constantly amazes me because even when I don't feel like I'm progressing, a few weeks later, when I watch a video I didn't understand, I can see that I've made progress and realize how much easier it is now. Let's continue the path into fluency! I appreciate your videos! ♥

[@sakurachaan972]

That’s so inspiring! Keep up the good work! Would you mind sharing your Japanese studying method and frequency?

[@teklaroma9645]

@@sakurachaan972 Hi, I learned Hiragana and Katakana and then watched "Comprehensible Japanese" on KZbin, including "NihonGo Learning". These both alone give you over 100 videos and therefore over 2000-4000 Words to memorize. I also love to listen to "naru 💫日本語の先生" on KZbin as well as Daily Japanese with Naoko. Right now I'm learning through Videogames and Mangas. I do 50 Kanjis a day (Few new, rest is repeats) from RRTK, 1 chapter of Manga (Yotsuba right now) and 3 Videos of my choice (I'm watching Japanese Let's plays - Right now I'm watching: mkのゲーム実況ch Search for him on KZbin, he's explaining everything he does numerous times and speaks clearly. I also love to watch "Game gengo" on KZbin. He's Explaining Grammar, Vocabs and even JLPT related stuff through videogames. I therefore do: "Kanji, 1 chapter of Manga, 3 videos of letsplays / animes" per day, so roundabout 2-3 hours a day related to Japanese. And it helps :)

[@benlane7282]

Hello, just wanted to say thank you so much for these amazing listening practice videos! I’ve been studying Japanese in Japan for 7 months or so but soon I have to go back to England. I can understand a decent amount but movies and things are too fast and difficult to understand, so these videos are absolutely perfect for me seeing as I will no longer be exposed to hearing Japanese as much. Please please keep making them if you can and I will watch every time!

2024 seems to be a rough start. I hope that the rest of this year will be a good one sensei, I also pray and hope that the people, especially in Ishikawa prefecture will get through this and come back stronger.

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Too many things happened at the beginning of the year. Thank you, GK-san!

本当に良かったです。ニュースで地震が大きく揺れたのですが、皆さん無事にしたので本当に良かったです。

[@nurbaiti_hikaru]

Your voice is so soothing. Because your Japanese pronunciation is slow, it is easy to understand. Thank you.

[@Overkill2002]

I actually just watched Godzilla Minus One the day before you posted this! I thought it was really interesting, and it was helpful for practicing with listening to Japanese. Not only that, I'm very interested in history, and a lot of what was portrayed of post-war Japan is something we don't discuss much nowadays.

[@mgrzx3367]

My father got into the U.S. Navy in 1946. He was in the Pacific on a Sea going Tug. He taught me his great appreciation for the Japanese people. He said he was happy to give his Red Cross packages to Japanese people, because they were starving. When his ship docked in Japan, the ships dog would run onto the dock, and so many Japanese men chased the dog with knives in there hands. I asked why. Father said, if they caught the dog, it was a meal. Father never said a bad thing about the Japanese people. He taught me never to hate anyone.

[@susmeetayourfav]

すごい❤❤❤ so clear voice ☺️

[@ashokembd]

It's a very nostalgic video for me. I had been to Shinjuku, Meiji Jingu and Yoyogi Park 15 years ago. Very happy to see those places again. Your descriptions about culture, customs, etc are interesting. Surprised to hear about Omake. In most of the countries we do the opposite - tip. I need to watch it again to improve my hearing skills. Thanks for the wonderful video.

So happy you and everyone you know are well. I did worry about the Earth quake. I live in Ohio so the only quake I ever felt was a 5 on what ever scale is used. I just thought a big truck drove past my house. Thank You so much. I have seen posts by who I subscribe to in Japan so I know they are well. It will only get better? 🤞🌸🌹

[@user-hg1bk3vs6h]

[@elyssaduran]

11:25 wow. i guess it is "just how it's done" but the cashier actually intentionally made them search for the 3 yen (took 5 seconds + whatever was cut), and took the 3 yen into her hands before awkwardly returning the 3 yen, instead of just verbally waving off the 3 yen and saving the time.

[@Max_tax07]

あけましておめでとうございます。😊I really like your videos, just out of curiosity since you headed to Tokyo so early in the morning ( at least for my standards) I was wondering If you waited for the stroke of midnight the night before or went to sleep early.ln my country usually,it is customary to wait for midnight to celebrate the new year and then wake up a little later the next morning .

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

Thank you, Max-san, for your support! There's a bonus footage at the very end of this video after 今日の単語（Today's words) at 13:07. You'll see what we did at 12 am on New Year's Day. Usually, people wait until midnight and say "あけましておめでとう" to each other, then go to bed.

[@Max_tax07]

@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally It is always nice to see what people from other countries do in various countries , where I live people go to church on Christmas morning and have a hearty dinner on new year eve around midnight, then especially young people celebrate all night long until morning going clubbing I think young people in Japan do that too

[@Ditronus.]

I saw Godzilla Minus One two weeks ago. I enjoyed it. I understood .03% of what was being said 😅. I dont see many japanese films, but one thing that stood out to me was how the main male actor cried in the movie. It was very dramatic and loud, like he was screaming. Is this how Japanese men usually cry? It is very different to the more subdued sobs of Western men.

[@SpeakJapaneseNaturally]

I don't usually see Japanese men cry, so I'm not sure. However, he was suffering from PTSD, so he could cry in anyway, I guess.

[@guitarsaremyfriendzzz7077]

It is rare for most men to cry like that. XD Part of it is Japanese films like to dramatize scenes heavily. This maybe be due to influences from Kabuki theater but I am not sure. It was an amazing film though. I was lucky enough to see it on release day here in Japan. A literal dream come true for me.

[@Ditronus.]

@@guitarsaremyfriendzzz7077 good points. Thank you. That would be cool to see there!

[@JesusChrist2000BC]

Like another comment said. It was done more for drama than anything. But also by that point in the story the guy had lost almost everything. So was just mentally done at that point.
