    I started learning Japanese at 16 when I went on a summer exchange program to Tokyo, and 6 years later I have gone back for a year long college exchange program, graduated with my degree in Japanese, and am moving to Kyushu as an ALT :) Learning a second language has literally changed my life and I have met so many amazing people and learned so much about myself because of that decision I made 6 years ago! You had awesome advise in this video and I hope it inspires more people to pursue a second language :)))

    Awesome advise! My husband and I took our two children to Japan last October, and we learned a decent amount of Japanese before the trip but dropped it right away when we got back to the USA. Well I decided I want to become more fluent so I have started speaking to our kids in Japanese whenever possible (while also studying more) and my husband, who just started learning Spanish is now speaking to them in Spanish. And we speak to one another in those languages as well, as much as we can. It's been amazing and I feel like I am learning it better because even though I am the only one speaking Japanese in the house, I am learning from myself, and my kids are learning through me. (And hubby)

  • @elephantasmic
    @elephantasmic 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I've tried to learn many languages over the years and the main thing that i have a problem with is staying motivated, because it can sometimes feel like you're never going to reach a fluent level and you want to give up. Whenever I feel like this I always look over my past study notes to remind myself how far I've come. It always makes me feel good to look back on the days when I was learning how to count, or learning how to introduce myself, or learning the alphabet.

    • @xNagisaChan
      @xNagisaChan 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is really hard to become fluent in a language if you don't actually live in a country where said language is spoken often. It is the repetition and daily use of a language that really helps you get fluent in it. The more you use it, be better it gets!

    • @xKlaraxMusicx93
      @xKlaraxMusicx93 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is really not the case for everyone. I have had been introduced to English from a very young age and I have been learning it almost as long as I can remember. My sister was always better at it than I was, because she was bent on learning stuff. I got better at it than she is because I got interested in it, I watched a lot of movies, tv shows and our country never has anything dubbed to our language but subbed. The drive to learn something comes from you it is not so easy to learn something that you do not generally love or like.

    • @xNagisaChan
      @xNagisaChan 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm sorry to say, but although you are easy to understand, you aren't "fluent" in at least typing English. You have a lot of spelling mistakes. (better at it THAN I, dubbed/subbed, almost, generally) I do agree that a big part of learning a language is the drive and curiosity to want to know more, but I must say from personal experience, no matter how "fluent" you are at a language, you'll notice how much you can actually improve when you live in a country that speaks that language, for a prolonged period of time. English isn't my native language either, and I thought I was fluent at it, until I moved to America. Now, I notice I still make silly rookie mistakes by literally translating stuff from my own language, among other things.

    • @xKlaraxMusicx93
      @xKlaraxMusicx93 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I am best at speaking not at writting. Because everything I writte I have to check twice or maybe even more. The problem is I see mistakes I make only when I finish writting. When I am in a hurry I do not check the grammer, I should change my approach to this problem by checking the spelling but I am lazy. Thank you for correcting me.

    For me routine is important! When I was in China, upon knowing my next job was going to be in Japan, I spent a few months studying through my phone in Starbucks of all places. I could call in, grab a coffee before work and break out the study. Now I'm actually in Japan...it's actually more difficult finding that good routine.

    Studying Japanese. Recently I've been playing Japanese Pokemon games as a way to study and I've found it's really helpful! You learn new vocabulary, how to talk more naturally, and your reading skills go up lol Plus, you're also having fun playing a game you like so it's a win-win^^

  • @Figureight
    @Figureight 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    To go along with your last tip, using apps like HelloTalk to match with people who speak the language you want to learn and want to learn the language that you speak. Made loads of friends in China that way and I was picking up a hell of a lot of stuff even in my first couple of days using it. Very useful.

    I have been trying to find someone who would be willing to help me learn Japanese, but the last few people I have tried to get to help me said if I was younger and not fat they would. It's very disheartening when you get those kind of messages.

    love the new camera quality! and great tips. my English boosted when I changed the language in every electronic device to English. watching tv series helped a lot too! now I'm doing the same thing with Japanese ^^ Oh the videogames tip doesn't work if you set japanese in non-JP games. The only thing that changes on the PS4 is system text (there's no japanese data in PAL/NTSC games). a notable exception is Pokemon on 3ds where you can choose 日本語 as the game language. I'm playing it right now and I'm checking every other word on Jisho.org (

    @ThaaMCchannel2 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Beautiful video I agree 100% only problem not a lot of people think the brain is a muscle and needs to practice everyday. Then the excuses come in etc. But to all the people who don't make excuses. This is really good advice, the whole changing your environment around you in that language you're learning is very helpful. Brings you to a realization that hey" this is a language people use everyday and I am becoming part of that" cheers to the language learners who actually put in the work.

    i minor in Korean language, and its easy to work hard and study the writing and grammar, the only true struggle is speaking the language itself. practice makes perfect, its really hard when you don't have a native to practice the language with, but i'm still trying to familiarize myself more with conversational skills and the informal forms by watching more youtube videos.

  • @TakahashiTakami
    @TakahashiTakami 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great video, Micaela! I'm learning Japanese, because, well, I was born in Japan, but adopted and moved to the U.S. as a baby. Eventually, I plan to move to Japan, so learning Japanese is a must for me. I also would like to connect with my heritage as well. Maybe after I'm confident enough in Japanese, I will take on learning Korean. But first, Japanese is my main priority. At the moment, I try to surround myself with Japanese. My iPhone is in Japanese, as well as the set language I have on TH-cam. I also listen to tons of Japanese music and I like to watch J-dramas and Anime. I also have a PS3 and Japanese Nintendo 3DS, both of which are set in Japanese. I'm graduating with my B.A. soon at my university, so hopefully soon, I hope to follow my dreams of moving to Japan, and truly surrounding myself in the language. For my up coming last semester at my university, I have really been thinking of enrolling myself in a Japanese language school, for just something to do in my spare time. I took 5 semesters (2 1/2 years) of Japanese language in college, so I do understand some Japanese. However, since my sensei spent most of the time on reading and writing, my reading and writing skills are better than my speaking skills.

      ***** Bachelors degree. And as of right now, I'm not sure. Probably the immediate goal is to teach English in Japan, at least until I can get on my feet a bit, and get my Japanese language skill to be fluent enough to where I can get another job doing something else. But as of right now, probably teaching English in Japan.

    Learning Japanese has been one of the greatest decisions I ever made in my life.
    What started out as just a whim decision, has given me the chance to meet so make so many new friends, become best friends with the most amazing person in the world, countless new experiences, play video games and manga I would never be able to get otherwise, and the chance to live here.
    It really opens up your world to learn a new language. Definitely give it a shot, and try it for yourself!

    Dont know if its just me, but now that I know Japanese to a decent extent and learning Korean, I find that I have a different perspective on languages. I find learning languages in general to be fun. I get really interested in just learning how to say hello or how a sentence is formed in a another language.
    And I think studying anime for vocabulary and new words is useful.

    I think that the most important thing to learn languages is to understand what you're learning is not a code but LANGUAGE, which is a communication tool for you and your friends. No matter what silly mistakes you make when you practice it, it is ok. Even native speakers don't speak theitr first language correctly. 開き直りが大事。

    A few months ago I felt like I hit a plateau while learning German. It was frustrating and just made everything feel very pointless. But, I broke out of it just recently and realize now how much I learned while feeling that way. I think I learned more during that time than any other time in my language learning.

  • @ramen1931

    彼女の話していることは、全て、一言、一句、日本人の、私も納得できました。日本人は、誰でも、凄く、英語が苦手です。日本では、小学校、中学、高校、大学、で、英語を勉強していても、英語の分かる人は、殆どいません。日本人の人口の、50%が、英語が分かるように、なるには、大袈裟でなく、後、100年以上も、かかると、日本人の一人として、感じています。戦後、75年も、経過しています。大多数の、外国の方々は、日本人にとって、英語が、殆ど、不可能に近い、難解な、言葉であることを、理解されていません。しかし、彼女は、若いのに、外国語を学ぶ、難問題に、鋭い、洞察力を、持っている方だと感じました。日本人が、英語が不得意なのは、歴史的、地理的なことも、大きな原因だとは、思います。日本人は、インド、ホンコン、フィリピンの方々のように、英語が、できません。しかし、そんなことは、言い訳だと、自分では、なんとなく、これまで、感じてきました。今日、この方から、この動画を、見させて頂き、もの凄い、勇気を貰いました。日常生活で、いつも、外国語に、興味を持つこと。外国語を、習うこと自体が、老化を防ぎ、 脳を活性化させること。外国語を習うのは、一生もの。未知の世界を、知ることができる。等々。有り難うございました。
    私は、外国に、行ったことがないので、彼女の、英語で、話しているのを、20%ぐらいしか、分かりません。でも、全部、日本語の字幕で、理解しました。彼女は、日本語を、他の外国の方々より、理解されていると、私は思いました。おそらく、日本人と、全く同じ発音で、日本語を話され、複雑な漢字が、入り交じった日本語文章を、日本人と同じように理解できる、特別な人だと、日本人として、強く、感じました。若いのに、凄いです。お世辞でなく、本当に。
    Very sorry, I am writing this English sentence using Japanese-English dictionary many times and wasting much time. I have no experience to visit other countries in my life. I could understand somehow what she is saying in this TH-cam using English. To our Japanese, English is very difficult language to understand. Even after experiencing study English in prime school, middle school , high school and university, but it is very hard difficult thing to find out that some of them understand the English. As one of Japanese, I think that it will need almost over 100 years to understand the English by the people of 50% of Japanese population. Not exaggerate thing at all. After second world war, already has passed 75 years. Most of the foreigners do not understand exactly how it is very hard difficult thing to understand English to our Japanese people. It is almost impossible thing. But, after seeing this YouYube myself, I think she has some kind of sensibility with study foreign language.
    Until today, I am thinking that why the most of Japanese could not understand English, That is depend on the geographical and historical problems may be. The people living in India, Hong Kong and Philippine, they understand English exactly. But, today she showed me what the most important thing is that everybody should have interest with foreign language in their daily life. She said also it is very useful to prevent the brain senescence. She said that studying foreign language is useful to have the knowledge of unknown world. I could understand somehow 20% of her talking in English but could understand everything of the meaning after reading the written subtitle of the Japanese. I understand something of her remarkable splendid Japanese ability compare other foreigner. How!:Beautiful. Thank you very much. 有り難うございました。

    The first language i learned was luxembourgish ( born in Luxembourg ). In Luxembourg, we have the privileg to learn 3 different languages in school. In the first two years in school we begin with german, then comes frensh. Later we learn english. So i can speek in 4 different languages now. But after my first trip to Japan, i want to learn the japanese language. The language course begins in September, so i cant wait to go there and learn a fifth language :)

    Right now, I am a French minor right now at my college and I am studying abroad in Paris next week. However, it is my third language and I speak English and Cantonese at home. The one thing I discovered was the grammar patterns that one can relate to. I know that Cantonese and French have different grammar differences, but sometimes, using the basic grammar structure was helping me in my French class in high school.
    Going on to the tv dramas that I have watched, I have watched Cantonese dramas with my family and it actually is a lot different from conversational speaking because people are reading from the written format, which is different. I sometimes find it a bit annoying and confusing since there is a reading - spoken way and a conversational - spoken way of Cantonese as I grew up and reading and writing Chinese is not my forte at all.
    I do agree on trying to at least put in some time each day on going over a few things that one had learned yesterday or on anything of the language that they are learning. I try to listen to my music or watch a news broad cast or even watch youtube clips of _______ Got Talent. I'll also try my best at speaking French to my professor so I can get a sense of speaking it more so I don't lose the touch of it at all.

I think I'm on the good way :D

    I'm trying to learn Japanese and one thing I do it put the Japanese word for a object on a sticky not (in both Kana and Kanji) and then stick it on that object. That way I see it everytime I use that object to learn and by doing that I also practice reading.

    When this vid started I could've sworn I'd seen it before, but it seems you only uploaded it today.
    Anyway, I'm moving to China (yes, China) in August to teach English in the hopes of (eventually) saving up enough money to move to Japan and enrol in a language school over there (probably KCP International).
    Here's hoping for the best ~
