I have a 489 day streak with Japanese, and from my experience duolingo is amazing for teaching you hiragana and katakana - even some kanji. The rest is really basic and not as good, but as a beginning tool duolingo is actually pretty useful.
@@swan6241no way, I remember that i used an app similar to Ringotan for kana, it didn’t take more than 3 days to learn the kana but i can agree with you that you really don’t fully master it until months of reading stuff in it
What's the best way to learn a language? Not stopping. It's normal to hit slow patches but pushing through is the secret to the pot of gold. If you 10 years from now never stopped working at it you will have come far.
I also found Duolingo to be a good entry point, just to get familiar with the learning habit. I found memorise to be more to my liking, and after that started using Anki. Slowing down and learning a handful of words until your comfortable with it for example will help keep you motivated instead of just continously speeding through and forgetting everything.
I believe you because just seeing another black man talk about learning Japanese is great to see. I thought I was the only one I love anime so I been wanting to speak the language since I was a child.
After using Duolingo for 5 days now I can say easily that I remember every thing I’ve learnt and you can tell me the whole of section 1 and 2 and I’m certain ide get them all right
something that really changed how i motivated myself and what really helped WAS duolingo. Currently im about a month into learning but duolingo was never my primary source of education BUT my monkey brain like when number go up so everyday i just do one lesson on hiragana each day so i can keep my streak going and keep my mind fresh on what ive been learning
If your still learning the basics go for duolingo and the finish the lessons hiragana katakana and kanji since it's fun and it's also for kids. Then if u are a bit good at japanese go try the other apps.
N2 would definitely be my goal but not to pass JLPT. I'm learning for conversation during travel and being able to read the signs etc...The problem im having now is finding opportunity to speak with actual people. Im like between an N5 and N4.
The reason I am learning Japanese is for anime and video games - I hate that there are cool games that I otherwise would never get to play - great vid insta sub 😊❤
Hi from Okinawa! I found you via Abroad in Japan where you made a comment on Japanese view on tourists. I am so glad that i followed up on you! Perhaps make more comments on other TH-cam channels to help grow yours? By the way, thanks for the language app tips!
I have been using Google translator 日本語から英語まで It’s a good way i can practice speaking which I’m bad at. Hearing in so much better. Also been reading entry level Manga.
Duolingo is weird. Sometimes you'd get sentences such as "the elephant eats cheese and drinks wine" (at least when learning Dutch). At first I really liked it though, but the competitive part is annoying as I'm a really competitive kind of person so I'd be spending way too much time. Today I removed the app. Thanks for your information, I'll give anki a go for sure.
I clicked on this video and stayed due to your formal and professional information sharing! i was surprised you dont have more thsn 5k subs, keep up the good work man!
Ive been using obenkyo to learn katakana and hiragana. One month in and ive memorized it both. I'll definitely use anki next time as its quite confusing for me lol
Does anyone know of an app or web app that only focuses on listening. Preferably it would say a phrase and you select the image of what they are saying. I don’t want to write read or speak Japanese I just want to be able to listen to podcasts in Japanese I don’t want to spend a single minute in the other aspects until I can listen on a really high level and learning by doing with feedback loops on an app seems like the best way to do this
I can't say I have any, but I'd consider the factors in the video for both - how efficient is each app for your goals and how much do they reinforce your consistency?
@@jozendesu I heavily enjoy both. They remind me everyday to keep going without any pressure to do so. You can set goals with Umi to learn a certain amount each day. TEUIDA is mainly useful for listening and speech which I find to be more enjoyable than reading and writing so I consistently default to that app 😅
A couple main things, use です at the end of each sentence when speaking politely (unless it ends with a verb in which case you end the verb with ます). Also, typically when introducing yourself you start with はめまして, and end with some form of よろしくおねがいします. In your case, you have どうぞよろしく which is also good Good effort though, keep it up!

@@dddave0 I m on 1478 day streak
but out of those days. How many days did it take to master kana?
@@DeletriusX probably a month on hiragana and 2 weeks on katakana (because some of it is similar to hira). Kanji I'm still learning to this day.

HelloTalk is the way to go, i believe I’m at n4 level but I still sit at the sidelines as he said, but i do at least engage with written messages 😅
For me one of the best for vocabulary is renshuu it even shows you the hiragana above the kanji for each word and all that

MSA or Egyptian or another dialect?
For all English speakers, it's just wasting your time if your study only with apps. You need a native speaker who can teach you grammar in English.

I’ve been trying Duolingo and so far could make this sentence let me know if it’s right どうぞよろしく、ケンです,やさしいせんせいとかっこいいうしゃ。私の学生はかっこいいです。漫画推しますと漫画学び。
A couple main things, use です at the end of each sentence when speaking politely (unless it ends with a verb in which case you end the verb with ます).
