Here is the video you were waiting for! I'd like to do another one about why Japanese in harder than Chinese. Will you watch it? Here is where I got started with Japanese: www.japanesepod101.com/member/go.php?r=810124&l=%2F and language exchange: brc.hellotalk.com/OrientalPearl
Why do I always get this rich aristocratic Victorian lady like vibe when ever I see you Pearl,Oh will you please vanquish my suspicions on that? Please.😁😁😁😁😁😁
I will watch it :D sounds like a very interesting video subject!
it will be so intresting ! pls do it !
Thank you!
I'll be honest. Japanese people are overall nicer than Chinese. Maybe it's just me, most likely is. I also notice *in my exp* Japanese roommates like to keep where they live clean. My Chinese roommates don't seem to mind a semi dirty kitchen/bathroom. One roomie even complained to the weekly cleaning lady that she didn't do a good job when she came. o.O I bought a squigie for the bathroom floor to clean the water on the floor. Aside from me and my gf that uses it sometimes, the other 3 roomies never use it. They just let the floor be wet after using the shower. :(
Here’s some tips for beginners (I use these):
1. Watch Children’s shows: When your starting out Japanese don’t watch Japanese news for more learning. They will use very complex words that will be difficult. Instead watch educational shows for kids. They talk more basically then things made for older people.
2. Label Objects: labeling objects is really fun and helps you out. Get index cards and go around the house and start labeling things like door, window, bed, bookshelf, television, etc. Trust me, it’s a HUGE help. Put a romaji translation on the bottom also.
3. Japanese Dictionary: personally at night I like to go to the Japanese dictionary and created sentences. Then I say them out loud. It’s really fun, I also like recording myself.
Great advice! Thanks for sharing your tips.
Can you recommend some children shows which are available and easy to find online?
Love this
Actually, most people watch till the end, but your audience retention is like 40% or lower because some people click away after 1 second (misclick or spooked by Japanese language on an English title). Your 85% viewers that are not subscribed is a great sign! It means TH-cam is recommending your videos to people other than your subscribers and they are interested and click the thumbnail :) Just remind people to like the video and ask a question, so people can write a comment under the video. Comments and likes are the most important tools that the TH-cam bot uses to decide if your video rocks or sucks. I'm going to move to France soon (not really, in 1 year) and I need to learn the language. I will apply your techniques to learn the basics.
These are great tips! Almost all my videos have the same issue with retention where 70% of the audience has left after 30 seconds. But maybe that common for TH-cam or these types of videos. The subscription rate used to be 70% and it just dropped lower and lower. There are quite a few regular viewers that forgot to sub and they miss all the new videos with a lower click-through rate because TH-cam doesn’t put it on their homepage. Almost all of my views come from browse features.

I noticed that more channels are utilizing ‘beginning tropes’ to grab hold of the audience before diving into the episode. 楽しいましょう❗️
@@OrientalPearl your content is great! But please make your videos speaking English.
😍 Great tips. I need some advice for my channel too. J'apprends le français à la maison.
I'm studying Chinese but TH-cam recommended your video and I paused it after only 15 seconds to check the comments and decide whether it's worth my time to watch more
私は日本人なので、英語の勉強をここでしています！ここのチャンネルは日本語、英語を学びたい人にぴったりのコンテンツがそろっていますね。
嬉しいです。いつも日本人の視聴者を大事していますよ。また動画いっぱい観てくださいね。
When I need a break from hardcore studying, I switch to Japanese songs, movies, or TH-cam lessons. That way I can give my brain a rest without feeling too bad about it 😂
Songs are a really important part of study. Our brain can remember things in song much much better. For example the alphabet song. Or how you can somehow remember lyrics from a song you haven't heard in 10 years. So, if you listen to a song until you memorised it, and pair the translation/meaning to the words, you have essentially learnt all those words and recalling it/understanding its context is a lot easier. I learnt majority of my words from music when I first started studying and I still recall the song I learnt it from to this day. For any language I couldn't recommend it more.
@@catmerchant8699 Yup. Memorizing songs is something I have always done super quickly. Music has been an important part of my whole life. It's a no brainier to incorporate it into my Japanese studies. Plus, my 2 1/2 year old daughter wanted to learn too, so we listen to a lot of kids' songs written precisely for learning. I have only been studying Japanese for about 6 months, but because of the kids' songs, I am way ahead on things like learning all the counters 😂 Makes it so easy. It also helps with my reading speed. Most kids' songs have at least the Hiragana and Katakana and some even have Furigana or the option to use full Japanese subtitles to help with Kanji reading practice. Songs are helpful in so many ways.
Lately...when I hear Japanese being spoken, I literally start crying because of how badly I want to go to Japan and become fluent once and for all. I definitely cried tears of inspiration during this video. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!! 🙏 (PS: I subscribed as soon as I found you!)
Thank you so much for subscribing. I hope you have a chance to enjoy more of the old videos.
@@OrientalPearl I'm slowly catching up on them. 😁
Thank you for sharing your story with us! I'm a brazilian who just got to learn English, and now, my goal is to study, and gradually, speak, understand the Japanese language! I've watched many of your videos and I'm excited to watch a lot more! Keep the good work 先生!
Yes! I’m glad that this video got you excited about learning Japanese!
It's rare to see or rather to hear an American person that can pronounce Japanese this good. Japanese pronoutiation can be very hard for people with English first language (exactly like English for Slavic languages users).
For me (I'm from Poland) pronoutiation was the easiest thing about Japanese because Polish language has 95% sounds that can be used to pronounce Japanese syllables. It's one of the very few languages that actually have exact sounds for し、ち、じ、じゃ、ちゃ、ちょ、しゃ、しょ etc.
I understand pretty much everything that you said, but I still have a long way to be able to speak freely.
Living in Japan definitely helps practicing your spoken Japanese a lot.
I know it becuse living 4 months in England gave me way more (including confidence) than years of learning English in grade school and high school.
I started learning Japanese only last September as a friend of mine made me join our Universities class on a whim. This January I'll be going to Japan on an exchange for one semester. It's hard to believe that's happening as only a little over a year ago I didn't know anything about Japan and now I am obsessed. Your channel really motivates me to learn Japanese, especially when you show the moments where you speak and make friends with complete strangers in Japan, so even if I'm still so poor at it I want to continue! がんばてください!
It's definitely not easy when English is the only language you've been speaking your whole life, but I'm going to stick with it and I hope to someday visit Japan.
How's that going
i’m in the same place as you! but it’ll be so worth it in the end :)
any updates:
It's true studying in an academic setting keeps you motivated because of the competition and investment. Sadly because of the pandemic many of the video classes are failing many of our young students. Your channel has been awesome to encourage me to reach the next level probably level 2 to your level 10.
I'm really concerned about students right now. Online learning just doesn't work for kids.
I really am so impressed by your work ethic and drive to learn a second language on top of Mandarin. I like that you spoke Japanese in this video to showcase your ability. I mean how else can people evaluate your fluency when you are describing how you learned Japanese and that it wasn't "easy". Like most things, you have to work hard and push yourself.
The "are you still watching" line at the end just told me you are definitely a beautiful soul inside out :) Have a nice day!
You speak at a set pace and I find it easy to pick out individual words in japanese and follow the conversation rather than the fast conversations of cathy cat or nobita. Currently hannah also speaks at a slower pace which I find easier to comprehend. Keep the video's coming as they are much appreciated , for when this horrible pandemic is over , my family and I will be on the first plane to Tokyo.
I’m glad that the speaking speed is just right for you. I hope it helps with listening practice. Please subscribe and enjoy all 91 videos. I’m new to TH-cam,
I’m not learning Japanese anytime soon but always great to see you advancing in your pursuit for excellence. Improving my subtitle reading is a bonus! :D
Yes there were a lot of subtitles in this one. It's a lot of work to make too.
honestly, at this point if freaked me out more when she started speaking fluent english.
I would love more videos exactly like this. Lots of Japanese language videos are either too fast or too slow. This feels far more comfortable for me to follow.
Im studying Korean but you always inspire me to go forward because you have a very realistic approach to language learning and i like and appreciate the honesty a lot. Many people make it seem so easy, because they don't want to appear vulnerable and show their mistakes while learning. That really twists the whole experience of language learning. No one is born a master. It is really difficult but sulking about it won't change anything.
Love your videos!
I want to learn Korean too! I just bought a book.
@@OrientalPearl Im sure you'll enjoy it too! After all, it has some Chinese influences as well.
currently studying to read manga, watch anime and go to japan without looking for translation i love your channel I'm from PH
Thank you so much! I hope you reach your goals!
Strong and inspirational video today Anming. Thank You!
Anming you are always an inspiration to me! I have been studying Japanese for over a year now in a group class and private lessons. I am about to finish the first Minna no Nihongo book and I feel i do well at the exercises and i understand whats being explained to me but sometimes i feel frustrated when I watch some Japanese series on Netflix and when i hear them speaking it makes me feel i'll never understand everything they are saying but your videos keep me motivated even though im not in Japan I can still keep working hard to get better and better.
I've used that book before too. It's so funny that you are using it as well!
@@OrientalPearl I know! I love that! It's been helping me a lot. I really hope I can at least make myself understood when i go to Japan after I finish this book at least to a basic level.

Your dedication to learning languages is amazing. I love watching your conversations with regular people in your videos.
It’s always nice to hear other people struggled to begin with. I’ve been learning over lockdown and it’s been super fun but sometimes the end result seems to distant. Thank you for uploading your story ☺️
Thanks for sharing. As a 3rd generation Canadian Japanese, it's cool to see this. Unfortunately my native tongue was not passed down to me out of fear, due to the poor treatment of Canadian Japanese in the internment camps. Maybe one day I will aspire to learn my native tongue and also learn about my native culture/traditions. Keep doing what you do.
anming: "hit the books! why are you watching youtube?"
me: "......'
I looked at my books and said 'later' 😂
私は日本語です。外国人が日本語を話すのを聞くのはとても面白いです。ここ日本では日本人ではない人がたくさんいますが、一度も話したことがありません。あなたの日本語はとてもわかりやすく、はっきりしています。私はあなたのチャンネルが本当に好きです。
ありがとうございました。もっと上達したですね。頑張ります。
もちろん。そしてありがとうございました！
Yes, I watched till the very end. It was worth it for the motivational tips. :) And "Just do the thing"....that should be your language learning catch phrase!
Ha ha, thanks for watching to the end and catching that little gem.
I'd love to see you learning and speaking Hangul next. Your language skills are mind blowing!!!
I would love to learn Korean next here in Japan.
Thanks for the encouragement! Now to go back to it.
It's great that you decided to make this video... I love the video so much!
Yeah i'm still watching! You really are inspiring. I'm studying, getting frustrated many many times, but like you said just keep going!
Never give up!
I’ve always had an interest in learning Japanese, so I bought a kanji textbook a couple of years back that I recently looked at for the first time. I know I won’t learn the entire language from it, but I figure it wouldn’t hurt to learn kanji as a hobby/for fun. Going to hit the book now and get off TH-cam (yes, I was still watching 😆). Thank you for sharing your experience and providing guidance/motivation in this video!
Everybody needs some motivation every once and awhile. I used to use TH-cam for inspiration and it worked.
Anming is the coolest person on youtube that I know because she really cares about her audience. She reads every single comment, and even interacts with us! Thanks for being my favorite Japanese TH-camr, always a pleasure to see your videos come across my feed :-)
Thanks so much! There are so many Japan-based TH-camrs. I’m proud to be your favorite. 😊
You’re a constant source of inspiration - I start in the New Year..! ありがとうございました 🙏🏼
Thanks for the honesty that you struggled at first, as I'm struggling to learn the language too. Right, back to learning!
I’m glad you appreciate the honesty on this channel.
Thank you for the video! Looking forward to the series.! And I am sure that this is also helping you to keep speaking Japanese. 💕
Yes, I’d like to do more videos speaking mainly Chinese and Japanese.
Thank you, Anming! As someone trying to learn Japanese, I appreciate your insights. Japanese grammar and vocabulary can be difficult to learn for English speakers, but I will keep trying. Your videos are inspiring! あリガとございました。
Very inspirational !
Keep up the good work 😃
Thanks. I appreciate seeing how motivated you are.
Thank you for making this video! I am a beginner in Japanese and I appreciate your tips!
Thanks for watching! I hope it helps you. We both started from the same spot.
Very inspirational stuff. I can only imagine the frustration you had at the beginning and then you moved to Japan?! Kudos. I feel your strength! I’m Greek by the way so English is not my mother language but ever since I watched your videos I really want to invest into Japanese. Ja na!!
P.s. totally agree on paying for lessons. It sets the mood for some serious learning.
This is what i've been waiting for. :D :D :D Arigatou gozaimasu, more videos to come.
You did a fantastic job oriental pearl. Keep up the good work. Much love muah.
For an intelligent person like you who did a great job at Mandarin / Chinese, I'm not surprised that you'd be good at Japanese too. Still very impressive.
Hey Anming, just wanna say you're incredible, I found out your channel a couple days ago and I'm obsessed with your videos already. I love learning languages as well, I'm almost fluent in english, and Japanese is one of my target language, which I started learning in the age of 12 I guess, but then stopped 😔. Hope to be able to speak Japanese/Chinese one day too, just like you. Congrats! ❤
Thanks so much! Your comment is encouraging. I’m glad you found the channel and that it’s helping you.
one day I’ll be fluent in chinese and japanese just like you!! so happy to find your channel! keep up the good work! 😉
Thanks for the tips!!
I still learning nihon go, soon i'll come to japan, especially tokyo
Hopefully i can see you there
Thank you so much for making video... Now M so inspired for learn Javanese by u 💪❤😘
i really love this type of content from you, sharing true experiences and your progression in learning language. i've been studying non-stop for 6 months and finally decided to take JLPT next month. my progress is sometimes overwhelming and sometimes rather declining but nevertheless progressing. but when times get frustrating and difficult, i look back to videos such as yours to get back up so please keep uploading :D
I just downloaded the app and i already found someone who is willing to help me. Im also currently subscribed in japanese pod for the last 2 months. Thank you! 😁
That was fast! You already found someone! Nice work.
I just know a few Japanese and i really wanna learn japanese because i want to go to japan an to not look lost an be able to ask for direction in japanese although I'm learning alittle from anime
Hello Sister. How are you?
Good to see you after long days ❤️❤️❤️.
Really appreciate your hardwork.
Your videos always amazing and u are one of my favourite youtuber ❤️.
Keep it up 🙏
Ha ha, I didn’t go anywhere. I’ve been here the whole time posting videos.
Thankyou Anming, thats so motivating
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and finally decided to do some courses thanks to you!! 💛
Thank you, I’m going to start studying Japanese winter break :)
And if anyone wants to learn Japanese there is a great TH-cam channel in Spanish Yuyu Nihongo, I think he explains things really well
That rising tone at 2:12 sounds like a Japanese commercial. (Based on The Simpsons' Mr. Sparkle episode. It's the only one I know).
Omg I adored this! I'm currently learning German but I'd definitely love to start with Japanese one of these days (and it's most probably because of your motivation here that it's so contagious!) 🤩
Thanks for sharing your story
Hello! your videos are amazing! can`t wait the next!
honestly, i follow you for the Japanese content! thanks!
That's great! Since I live in Japan there will be lots more of that.
Este video fue igual de nostálgico que el anterior. Sigue creciendo!! :D
Volviste. Mucho tiempo sin verte.
@@OrientalPearl wait what, how much spanish do you know girl?
youre the best! keep the hard work going!
Another motivation boost.
Thanks a lot.
Gonna need a lot of it in the coming years.
i clicked on this so fast , i have been struggling with my learning 🥺😤but i hope this works , i bet it will cause your goooood !!❤️
I think it is important to learn the Japanese mannerism as well.
I really enjoyed this video, thank you👍
Thank you Anming for making this video. I am a health care worker and I watch your videos at lunch time. It's so nice to get a break from all the pandemic stress and just watch something educational and entertaining. Yes I would certainly watch a video about why Japanese is harder then Chinese. I am taking your advice and also listening to japanesepod101.com and yes I watched your video to the very end!!! Good Job!
I made it to the end of video bcause i really like Japanese accent and i want to learn speaking Japanese too
You got into university after 3 years of studying? That's amazing
I loved this Anmimg. Your content is so uplifting and don’t worry I always watch until the end! 😊 love from Ireland x
Thank you Ireland!
Oh wow! Thank you for sharing your experience. Just started studying Japanese. This is my 2nd month and I am enjoying it so far. Waiting to see where language learning will take me in life.

been studying alot for the last 4/5 months now and god damn its hard, its my first time learning another language but i wont give up
Thank you for all the inspiring and helpful information! I had been trying to re-learn Japanese (after learning in high school and living in Okinawa for 3 years), and am more motivated to keep going now! It is amazing how you learned the language and became fluent so quickly. It looks like fun to just start conversations with people on the street. Great work! It takes a lot of practice and courage to do that. I look forward to watching your other experiences in Japan.
I remember that I found your channel originally through HelloTalk! It's so cool to see where your channel has gone since then!
No way! That’s so cool. Very few people found this channel from HelloTalk. I’m glad to hear that though. It’s very rare.
日本語上手いっすね！
僕も中国語と英語を話せるようにがんばります〜
すごいです。頑張ってくださいね。
@@AniGrannyOG Sounds great. I believe you’ll master Japanese👍🏻
@肉肉 Why do you introduce him to me? Is he your favorite historical person?
@肉肉 この人のこと、初めて知りました。今度少し調べてみます
I learned Japanese while watching anime.
Yeah! it was my catalyst as well🤙✌🤖
Same
I recommend you to also practice with japanese people, since the way they talk in anime is not the same as in real life.
Omg, I could not.
And now that I’ve been learning Japanese, it makes it kind of hard to watch subtitles, because my brain goes “oh, I know this.”
The sentence structure of English and Japanese are different so I’ll hear the end of the sentence before I read it fully.
Sure
Saiko! Great encouragement!
Hi Anming, Thanks for sharing! Always so humbling & inspiring! 💪😀👍
I remember talking with you on hellotalk once! Your videos are great! I wanted to ask in Japanese one word can have different meanings based on the context. How did you overcome this for listening.
No way! That's so cool. I don't get many people from hellotalk commenting on my videos. This is really rare.
Dayumn, 日本語上手 yo
Im so happy your channel is getting bigger.😊😊😊 keep it up.がんばってください
It’s all thanks to you and the others.
I was on and off with learning Japanese since I was 16. I never got over the basics. But then I picked it up about a year and a half ago, after I moved to the US and waited for my work authorisation. 😂
I looked more seriously into verb conjugation, grammar, watched TH-cam videos, listened to japanesepod101 podcasts every morning and I still do so now on my way to work and back. I learned kanji more through just writing full sentences down instead of trying to memorize them.
I improved so much in that time! Since a few weeks I also visit a Japanese teacher once a week and we talk about different topics and that helped SO MUCH with talking!
My current goal is to confidently pass JLPT N4 mock tests and then get up to N3.
Step by step!
I would love to teach you American Sign Language
When I lose motivation in my Japanese studies I listen to Band-Maid and I am charged again! 😁 btw thank you for sharing 😊
Finally took the plunge after watching your videos to sign up for Japanese lessons at the local university on the side of work, and signed up to Japanese Pod 101 :)! I already made a friend on Hello Talk who i talk with but they have to speak so much english for me. I look forward to learning the language and being able to speak back to them and understand what they are saying :)!
That’s so cool! Congrats!
日本語を学んだ事を一つのきっかけにして、アンミンさんの人生に素敵な変化や影響があったとしたら、一人の日本人としてとても嬉しく、光栄に思います！!
日本の「本音と建前」という言葉を知っている外国人の方は少なくないですが、これは人間関係に最低限の礼儀を保つための初歩的な常識であって、日本社会の入り口に過ぎません。アンミンさんのように日本語を使う強い意志があって、自ら心を開いて語りかけて下さる人には、多くの日本人がアンミンさんと同じように心を開いて、親しく話してくれると思います！
これからも、アンミンさんの人生が日本語と共に素敵に輝くことを祈念致しております！Thank you so much!!
嬉しいですよ。本当ありがとうございます。
It seems you have heard of Stephen Krashen and his second language acquiring theory ... speaking of 200 language partners.
I've only heard about him through Matt's channel.
I started being interested in Japanese because of Anime 😊☺
Thanks Anming, I’ve been waiting for this video, it’s really good.
I’m reassured by the fact, that you said you found Japanese difficult, I really do, especially listening, but you’ve reassured me, I’ll use hello talk and study more!
That’s awesome that you’re going to give HelloTalk a try. If you want to meet people there use the search features and start sending many private messages. Invite people to be your friend and practice with you.
hey Anming! just wanted to point out that I just recently found your channel and I had to subscribe immediately. You have very good -and realistic- content on learning both japanese and chinese. keep up the good work!
Thank you for this! I gave up my learning too out of frustration, so pleasing to know the amazing level you can get too if you stick with it
I did not know I needed a video like this !! Going to study harder 😁
Thanks, Anming! I'm currently learning Japanese and without a doubt, videos of Westerners speaking fluent Japanese (and specially your videos) always top up my motivation! So massive thanks for continuing to produce more and more videos, and on interesting topics and with interesting locals!
Thanks also for the JapanesePod101 recommendation, which has been great - wish it had been my first resource. Although Duolingo has became revolutionary since I started typing my answers (rather than just ordering the 'word blocks'), especially since you get instant feedback. Hope to see you in Japan next year! :D
I used Japanesepod101 for like 2 or 3 years. They have some really hilarious audio lessons.
Thank you for always putting a smile on my face every time you post! ☺️
I’m currently learning Japanese and even though I’m no where near basic understanding, I’m hoping to study abroad in Japan for a year next year. So thank you soo much for motivating me 🥺💛
I hope you are able to come to Japan and live your dream!
I'm Brazilian and I'm learning English and Japanese on my own, I love watching ur videos and I've learned a lot watching them, thanks for the quality content!!
You are a true inspiration! Thank you for this video.
Good video! Thank you for your words.
love your videos!! I’m motivated to keep studying and eventually be as fluent as you ♥️
