what game is this ?

May I suggest you take a look at WaniKani for kanji study? And in a previous video you mentioned maybe branching out into japanese games - in that case the yt channel Game Gengo has made a tier list of such a couple months ago from a japanese study perspective <3　がんばれ

Gud stuff also writing small つ U can write xtsu

Cant believe youtube recommended me this just when im starting to make similar content. Keep posting, i subscribed 😄

have you read the Japanese Grammar Guide by Tae Kim? has all conjugation rules including the first question about the te-form. definitely recommend

Do you do immersion?

I’m a Japanese and I’m learning English This video reminds me that English and English are completely different languages lol

Been on a bit of a lapse on my japanese learning lately. It’s awesome seeing you continue on!!

For "Wasn't passively called" I would think of it just as like, "I didn't get called" if that makes sense. Say you applied for a job and someone asks "Any news?" or "Heard anything?" And you say in this case "I wasn't called," or "I didn't get a call" or even "No call..."

Thanks for the video. I enjoy watching/listening as I also study.

Thats cool bro

Algo brought me here, I'm also studying Japanese, been doing so for a year now. 一緒に頑張りましょう！

wow cool video! just came across it in my home page. i'm actually in my first week of learning vocab, got one word in the vid correct! 😆 any tips to learn? just made it my goal to be n5 by july! any advice would be much appreciated. still struggling with remembering vocab as of now.

Your diligence is inspiring 🔥

Never been this early!!

I m on the same level and your videos are very helpful and useful 😊 thanks ✨🔥

32:45 欲しい (ほしい) is the word you're looking for.

18:41 No, it did not get it wrong. It is ここら.

Why do you have "Hard Core P*rn" in your bookmarks lol.

29:54 古見 can be ふるみ or こみ. the kanji for names most often have multiple different readings.

Makes me want to study this year 😮

8:13 yes, っす is a colloquial form of です

6:18 that audio is a native speaker pronouncing the word, which comes from forvo audio. you can turn it off in the card style format settings.

5:25 japanese is a pitch accent language, not a stress accent language, which is why you don't hear any stress in the original audio. 何事も also has the 平板 pitch pattern which means that the pitch is roughly flat, which is also why you don't hear a drop in the pitch in the original audio. words with this pitch pattern in migaku are marked as blue.

I feel like I should warn you that your Anki font is in Chinese.

book

This is a great way to practice, I love this! Also love the fact that I get to discover so many useful tools for learning Japanese thanks to your videos!

hi im learning japanese too! i use your video as a friend and imagine discussing things with you hahaha

You finally appeared in my YT Algorithm! God bless you man, keep up the grind.

idk if you're already aware, but there's a newer/extended version of "don's japanese conjugation drill" called "lan-don's japanese conjugation drill"

Dude. This is incredible. I LOVE how you’re documenting your journey! 😁😁

〜ておく (te oku) is a phrase to say to do something in advance or to prepare something. In this case okure is the imperativ form of oku. And te-form and mo, the mo in this instances always means "even if" or "even though".

Defined goals can help retention. What I've been doing is getting dialog (from a video game), running it through machine translate, then combing through the text for vocab and analysis (dictionary, pitch accent, etc.). I put the results in a document so I can edit and analyze it whenever I want. I make sure to clarify, rewrite, and rearrange the English text a _lot_, to reduce translated word cruft. I also extract small phrases from the resultant Japanese text, then run an exact internet search ("引用符で囲む") and see whether native Japanese websites like forums and others have ever written that exact phrase before, which is usually a good sign that it's a natural phrase and not machine garble. Tatoeba, Linguee, Wiktionary, and Jisho are good resources to help analyze JP text. By the end of it I have some Japanese dialog which I can act out just for fun. An hour or so running through this process, repeated for however long that dialog or excerpt holds your interest can get you really good at reading Japanese really quickly. However, improvising on-the-fly is an entirely different skillset and will take longer, so manage expectations. As a prerequisite, I did an RTK deck (most of it) and ran through much of a Japanese Sentences from Tatoeba (w/ audio, sorted by MorphMan) AnkiWeb deck for months before I got bored and found other ways to interest myself. It also helped to have enough unconscious experience from anime and vtuber clips to figure out whether something sounds off.

The website is super helpful man!

Thanks for letting me learn with you

why are you not looking up works when you are reading? learning words entirely through context is very difficult when you have such a limited vocabulary

One of The bookmarked folders is concerning lol

I think you need to work on pronunciation a little bit. しんこきゅう　you pronounced it as しんこうきょう and ぎんこう　I heard you pronounced it as ぎんきょう 14:20 that's actually kanji from knife, sword, katana 刀 not power 力

I hope you're doing better

Good luck homie :D

Have you thought about streaming your study sessions? The duolingo category on twitch has people streaming things like their anki reviews or reading practice fairly often. You're making good progress with your graded readers, but getting chat feedback for some things might be useful at this level.

It is clear that you're really dedicated and that's awesome! As a person who was in a similar position 4 years ago, I have a couple suggestions. First I'd suggest that you don't learn kanji one by one but instead you learn vocabulary and and all kanji that comes with it. Also when you get more advanced (after having learned like N4 or N3 vocab and grammar) it would be a good time to start immerising, that means consuming content meant for natives to actually acquire the language, and mining. If that doesn't sound familiar, I'd suggest looking up "the moe way guide" and "mattvsjapan". Oh and one more thing, pitch accent exists in Japanese and it would be beneficial to be aware of it sooner rather than later. 頑張ってください！

Make sure you get all the intonation right or your Japanese will sound really sloppy. I feel like non-native speakers struggle with this the most For example 20:53 it should be murá not murà

I like "your" kanji study site for testing. thanks for that one.Not that far into my learning but 98% on the first try n5.1. Maybe be i'm further into learning than i thought

I came upon your channel really randomly, it's fun to see how other people study, especially since I'm a bit behind you. How long have you been studying? And what do you use the most for the "immersion"?

It fucking sucks reading or atleast finding manga in japanese. Maybe I missed the golden sites but they're always omega low resulotion so you can barely make out the kanji as a beginner. I played cyberpunk when I was at like 4-7k words in my anki and it was quite a struggle but I was able to enjoy it a lot. I played with english hud but japanese dialogue and subs. This helped me alot since I wasnt stuck trying to decipher every single item but was able to quickly do the "game things" and enjoy the story in japanese. The best uptime immersion is books but thats also some of the most difficult stuff. If you want to watch anime I suggest non non biyori or any kyoani SoL. You need to get some mining implementation if you want to watch anime. I used asb player and yomitan. I don't mine anime anymore though as I find it annoying to have to pause and go back to what I wanted to mine. You should also check out some podcasts to listen to for when you dont have time to actively immerse. I started with mikus podcast.

You don't actually have to do that 47:10 , because it already exist it's called "Don's Japanese Conjugation Drill" ,highly recommend it. GOOD LUCK 👍

how fast do you think you could recognize 女子大生　also its fucked up that I didnt know that one but all the others from watching anime and reading in japanese, ie, not explicitly looking them up lmao

if a website is too bright just get dark reader extension
