This made me realize how much harder it is to read JP when it's in handwriting instead of computer text. 3:14. Especially your で. The true end game of reading must be Japanese doctors handwriting if they're anything like ours. Excellent point about learning from native speakers. Another channel I like watching made a similar points, though in regards to learning text books instead of anime. Text book Japanese is also unnatural according to him... understandable, but unnatural! I value kanji quite a bit because all vocab attached to one has a much much higher retention rate in my memory than other Japanese words. The special/unique symbol attached to it helps it stick. Instead of learning to write every kanji, an excellent short cut and middle ground is getting good at drawing the few particles.

Your English accent is so lovely and calm, you speak very elegantly! I'm from London, currently studying Japanese and Korean while living in Seoul ☺

[@MGlanguages]

That’s so nice of you to say ;) You seem like a real Korean culture lover! And I can tell from your accent that you are British ;D it was so nice to knowing you! Good luck with your journey too 🇰🇷🇯🇵

Just found the channel, great tips! Been watching videos like this for awhile 😅 so I've heard them before but not everyone brings these up! How do you think phrases compare in slice of life anime? Are those still too risky to glean phrases from or are there specific anime from that genre that are great for phrases? I enjoy videos of cultural differences, even between Japan prefectures so I'd definitely watch those! One thing I'm fascinated by with Kanji that I think would help with overall study is its etymology. I don't hear this talked about much though. I know there are books for it.

[@MGlanguages]

Thanks for your comment ;D yes that’s true as you said it also depends on the genre and what kind of Anime you watch. It’s quite hard to say though. But I’d say it depends how close to this modern and real world, how much closer to the reality. For example, one piece is quite a different world compared to this modern society. So there are often used Anime versions of phrases. But on the Haikyu the volleyball Anime, it's a less used Anime version of phrase. I’ll share someday if I find any updates about this! The culture part: I often get culture shocks in Japan even when I visit other prefectures :) It's interesting for me too! The etymology: it’s true. We learn those all when we are at elementary schools. But it’s getting harder when it comes to high levels of kanji. Like .. 人(easy), 難(difficult), so people often lose their motivation on that stage, I suppose. But my kanji teacher loves learning its etymology. So people who are good at Kanji, they learn its etymology for sure! That makes sense. Good luck with your journey ;D

[@jakiru8783]

​@@MGlanguages Updates would be great! Oh, do most students learn the etymology of about 2000 Kanji? That makes sense students well versed in etymology are good at kanji. :O ありがとう! がんばって! ;D

女性が「あついわ」のように語尾に付ける「わ」は終助詞です。日本の義務教育で習う文法のひとつです。ジェンダーフリー教育のせいか若い世代はほとんど使いませんが、中年以上の世代はけっこう使います。柔らかい感じを与えるため、女性らしい言葉とされています。

[@Verbalaesthet]

Do not learn Japanese phrases from anime. - Now you might be like: 何？！ P.S. Your English pronunciation is excellent. I'm not sure I've ever heard a Japanese pronounce it that well.

[@MGlanguages]
