My Japanese teacher did warn us that when Japanese people say the know “a bit” of (Spanish or English etc) they usually mean good enough to hold a social conversation. So you shouldn’t say you know “a bit” unless you can hold a somewhat coherent conversation because you’ll be expected to understand more than you think.

[@dutchik5107]

Which is honestly good. Because why are you saying you know it when you know 10 words that probably won't come up anyways. Or just how to say hi.

I think the child's first language question is nice. When they're younger, it's easier to learn and memorize all the languages as long as you keep talking to them in those languages. My parents are Japanese, but I was born in the US so I would speak in English outside, and at home it would be Japanese. Just make sure to also teach them how to read and write because I can't read and write Kanji that much. I really like Japan, I'm happy to see you're having fun there!

they’ll be able to as they’d attend school in japan-i think that’s the difficult challenge of parents outside of japan! we’re a nordic and mixed japanese/cuban married couple, and i definitely want to teach my kids to read and write in japanese in the future! i think it can be hard to feel connected to our culture when living away from japan, so knowing how to speak, read and write as well as visiting often can be so important for kids to feel immersed in their culture. you can always pass it down! ♥️

[@tomatodamashi]

2 languages is not a problem for a young child. 3 or 4, you may start running into problems. Typically with foreign children in Japan, they enter grade school without a lick of Japanese. It's a tough first couple of years, but they'll pick it up naturally from then on. If you bring them to a Japanese pre-school, there won't be any issues. If you send them to an international school, they'll use English past the point where they can pick up Japanese naturally and will chafe against learning a second language. I say this as an Elementary school teacher in Japan for 13 years and counting.

As someone who lives in Asia, speaking English to a foreigner is actually not racist, it’s quite the opposite. We are trying to be accommodating since most foreigners we encounter just don’t speak our first language. We go the extra mile to learn and speak English just to interact with the other party and make them feel comfortable. It’s quite a cultural shock how foreigners would think that’s offensive

[@noseboop4354]

While some foreigners are grateful for the accomodation, many are not because most foreigners want to be treated like a mature adult. Foreigners don't like the feeling of being spoken to like a five year old child, even if it is with the intention to help. It also feels very exclusionary, like people who look foreign can never be treated like a local person.

Concerning your children's language learning, I was in a similar situation, with a French mother and English father but living in Portugal. The way they handled it for us was: - we would speak with our parents in their respective language (French/English) - we would speak with each other (siblings) in whatever the main language of the school we were going to was - we would learn Portuguese at school and use it when talking to native Portuguese friends - (our dad also made us write short fantasy stories in English to train the language when it wasn't yet being taught at a decent level in school, and as a reward for doing it we'd be allowed to play on the PS2)

For me, the funniest part about Japan (at least, Tokyo), was how much sticklers they are for the rules, but at the same time, they can be pretty pedantic about it when needed. When a friend of mine was renewing his visa, there was some sort of issue that required him staying at the gov bldg for the entire day while the staff tried to figure out a solution. Finally, at the end of the day, a member of the staff approached him with a judge by his side and two sets of paper in his hands and carefully stated "Your visa has been rejected." My friend was both surprised and worried about what was about to happen, but he could tell something was up. The Japanese staff member repeated "Your visa has been rejected. Would you like to appeal?" The last part said with a miniscule lilt in his voice and a very tiny tilt of his head toward the judge. My friend, utterly bemused, nodded. The judge spoke a single word "Approved" and left. The staff member withdrew the rejected visa and handed my friend the other set of papers, including his newly approved visa, smiled politely, and left as well.

One of the things I like about Japan was their aesthetic in the cities. The cities themselves are kept quite clean and they always find ways to add nature to their cities. Small detailed gardens, rocky walls, trees, small shrines, etc. Hard to explain but it's feels like a lot of compact detail while being natural and minimalistic. It's quite nice.

well, not many nature stuff in the like, the proper cities, mostly a local park or a shrine that was already there or smth. and the shop aesthetics rly depend on how long the building lasted and if its been in a family for generations. its never central planning, save for some highways. sometimes the smaller local city halls take care of those things

Its exciting when your favourite youtuber moves to your favourite country! Can't wait to see you explore Japan and its culture and hopefully share your experience with us! :)

Both my parents are from different countries so I grew up learning both of them, add two more languages in school plus another one of pure interest and you got a kid who speaks a lot of languages! It’s not as hard as you think and if you’re a child you pick up languages like it’s the easiest thing in the world

If you like learning about the history of Japan I would really recommend 'The Autobiography of Yukichi Fukuzawa'. It's really exciting/intense and you get to really understand how Japan became modernized after the feudal period.

[@omeganexus4817]

Thx

[@honeyswann]

It’s also good to learn about the dark side of Japan and the creation of the “kawaii culture” as a way to derail from war crimes. It’s amazing and shows you that not everything that shines is diamond

For all the people watching Felix like a hawk for his “Omg this actually really sucks, Japan isint what I thought it was” sort of comments- My consensus is that Felix will have a really awesome time in Japan, seeing that he dosent really have to WORK in Japan. A lot of complaints I hear from foreigners who move to Japan are about how grating and stressful the work life is. It’s much different moving to a country like Japan with money, than to move there and have to work a regular (usually) minimum wage job, pay rent, and juggle social life, personal life and work life. Felix already has a wife, he has a work at home job, he’s rich, and he has friends. So compared to other people, his personal struggles will most likely be waaaaay different than most peoples. Idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@gigibiru913]

"you think it's your own choice but in reality you make it for someone else" - That's really deep Felix. Two things happened to me: My mom really want me to become an architect and I become one. The second one is my friends getting married after graduation and I want to get married too in fear of missing out. Although I have changed my mindset on marriage because my spouse and my son really brings me happiness, but being an architect always bring me into depression and sleepless nights. The pay is decent and helps me to pay my bill but I'm not happy working as an architect. I'm in my early 30's now and I'm planning to find jobs or careers that I'm happy of. I've always wanted to be a public speaker or involve in performance on stage because I feel I can be myself on stage despite I have fear of speaking in front of public. Wish I can make this a reality one day, and hope you have a great time in Japan.

Can you make a lateral move to a similar profession that would use the knowledge you have but be more fulfilling for you? And you could start practicing public speaking by making KZbin videos on topics that interest you.

I feel the same way about people asking if you're fluent when you're learning a language. I study Japanese and Spanish and I get asked that all the time by friends, and I never really know how to answer. No matter how much you study, it's hard to be quite fluent until you're in an environment where you're surrounded by that language all the time. With that said, you should catch on to the Japanese very quickly now! :) がんばってください！

[@sayakaito8520]

Hi Felix san ! I'm so Ureshii to see you having fun in Japan. Things can get tough because of the high expectation that the Japanese ppl have in common and weird rules that doesn't seem logical, but I hope you enjoy the positive side of living in Japan more !

[@GreatestCornholio]

It’s weird, the uk produces a lot of amazing seafood but we sell it all in Europe and barely eat any ourselves. We seem to be very unadventurous when it comes to seafood, just same old fish and chips over and over.

[@sahandnasiri3185]

[@meeds7473]

I've eaten seafood in Japan and the UK and there honestly isn't that much in it when it comes to quality. I do prefer the style of Japanese seafood, but the quality and taste of the fish itself (before sauces/seasoning - which, for me, is what makes the difference (maybe Felix too)) is really no different. I wonder if Felix just stuck with cheap supermarket fish and never sourced from a fishmonger or market?

[@definitelycringy2932]

Thank you so much for everything felix im so excited for whatever the future brings for you guys :D

[@grandpa-30]

A method of learning Japanese you could try (assuming you haven't) is watching livestreams since you said that you were surprised at how fast Japanese people speak in Japan. I've found it a lot easier to recognize words and phrases how they naturally are said from opposed to watching anime where it is a lot slower and more exaggerated. I've found myself passively translating what they say during live streams in my mind even if I'm watching it in the background.

[@poligrant5152]

That's good if you already know a bunch of words, if you're just starting out you wont have any ideas what they're talking about, but at later stages it's the best method imo, honing your language to perfection.

*The ETERNAL GOD would do anything for you!! Even out of love for you he went to the cross as a human!!* Philippians 2:5-8

[@thatonegamer2921]

Not really useful, you need to study the basics grammar and vocabulary first, watching livestream will do nothing unless you are at least intermediate level

[@DorieBee-BARElynecessary]

Haha, I 100% agree with the language part; I've been learning Korean and I can confirm that it is NOTHING like learning another European language. There are no similarities, not grammaticaly or vocabulary wise, so you literally start from zero which is learning the alphabet and it's a slow, uphill struggle after that but like you said: it is fun! Keep going and good luck!

[@astroenvious6681]

How do you even start? I grew up learning Spanish at home and English at school, I would imagine that wouldn’t help me with Japanese or Korean how did you start?

[@Scotia__]

@@astroenvious6681 I started with subbed anime & practing the alphabets. Helped a ton!

[@cindersofcreation]

@@astroenvious6681 As well as watching shows/playing games in that language (but having the subtitles be your native language) you can start how we all started language, order some kids books and teaching books for that language, get a dictionary, and practice writing the characters on paper as much as you can!

[@TinyManNasty]

@@astroenvious6681 i would recommend listen to music in that language while you learn the alphabet and look at the lyrics. The music will help you learn how to pronounce words in a way that is pretty conversational to the language. Its how I got confortable with Spanish. Following along with the lyrics will teach you how to read each symbol and the pacing of the language. It will teach you complexities and how certain characters interact when put againts others.

[@topspot4834]

Same. I'm from the US and been studying for almost 6 months. You're exactly right, there's are no similarities at all. My tutor said first day, best thing to do is completely forget English when learning Japanese.

[@minniemehak2382]

Take meeee

[@tigerchuu2148]

As a fellow Swede who has lived in Japan as well I want to add my two cents on two topics. 1. Eating at a friends house: As Felix said, it is weird to me as well that the person didn’t even get asked. From my own experience and my friends experience we always got asked if we were going to eat at our friends place and if it was panned beforehand it was a given that we would eat there. 2. Learning Japanese: I learned to speak quite good Japanese in about a year. I could have conversations and even do more administrative stuff all in Japanese. If the goal is speaking Japanese the best tip I would give is to just force yourself to speak Japanese and to not care if your sentence is right or wrong. More often than not they will understand and you’re also, in my experience, usually close to, if not, correct in your sentence as well. This will also help you remember and learn how to use the words you’ve studied or heard.

You know there’s such a thing as international schools. I think it would be a lot for you guys to have a small child go to pre-/regular school in Japan because it’s expected for parents to do quite a lot. Including writing diary-entries to your pre-school teacher about your child :-) every day. Even my (working) Japanese mom thought it was a lot.
