I love the way the teacher with the short hair talks, the intonation at the end of sentences is just lovely!
She could be a voice-over artist.
The teacher at 2:55 was one of the many teachers at Kudan where I studied in Tokyo some years ago, she was my favorite out of all the ones I had. I'm glad she still teaching and doing well :)
That's amazing. May I ask how you went there to study? Was it like very expensive or hard to go? I'm planning on go over there to study, but I realy don't know how to find like, a good school, or where to stay
@@aguacateadosmilpesitos There are institutions that can help people with all the paperwork (it's alot) & how to choose school etc, but even if not, the japanese embassy can be of great help aswell.
It not hard, but it's a lot of continuous work. You need to get papers from the bank & embassy, letters to the japanese migration office back and forth & be in contact with the institution, have meetings now and then of course, 110% all worth it though, living in japan is life changing, a great experience. I recommend staying for 6 months to 1 year!
Expensive depends on where you start at, and it's different in each country, but either you take a student loan or you save money for a while (I saved for about a year on top of my previous savings to avoid a loan). If you can, I recommend renting a room in a sharehouse with about 50/50 japanese people and foreigners, it's the most fun and you get to learn japanese and make japanese friends that way :]
@@Kenta249 you're such a sweetheart, thank you very much. This definitely makes it seem more real and I have an idea of where to start. Thanks again
@@aguacateadosmilpesitos No worries, good luck to you!
I'm also interested and planning to study and work in Japan. I love the culture and the language. I grew up watching a lot of movies and cartoons and other things that came from Japan and their culture always called to me and fascinated me.
It's always been a dream of mines to go and I would love to live and work there.
I'm Japanese,
but I don't have any confidence in teaching the Japanese language.
I guess it's the same for any language, but teaching is a whole new level.
Thank you for making a sequel! One thing I've noticed about Japanese teachers is that they're SO much more patient, kind, and persevering compared to most western teachers (namely French ones😅). It's something I really admire about the culture , and an aspect I feel that should really be implemented in western teaching methods. It's all about communication! :-)
*** I also find it really cool that they're using the internet to their advantage! Very cool.
Teachers in America are even worse than French teachers. They often don't truly teach shit and are even worse with the indoctrination. I don't know about what's going on in French schools, but at least here, parents are considering homeschooling their kids or actually doing it.
I have noticed that most/all Japanese you interview in the street do not use their mouth to speak, but the second teacher that you commented on as being clear to understand does.
You can sense they are teacher for how they explain their answers 😄
Having spent more than 2 years in Japanese language classes here, your Japanese language ability and how interested you are in learning it is also in part, the teaching ability of the teacher, and how well they've formed a connection with their students. Honestly, there's a lot of different kinds of teachers out there. My favourite are those with a sense of humour, it just makes learning much more easier. Another important thing that needs to be considered is the pace of learning, if it doesn't match your level, you won't be able to remember stuff.
I like hearing elder people speaking japanese, I feel young ones, especially girls, do this weird voice, very anime-like .The teachers just sound so calm and natural
Go! Go! Nihon is great too. They helped me a lot, in my native language, French.
Literally just did a bit of Japanese study before clicking on the video. Wish I knew about this years ago. Would have done it after college.
Have to respect and value teachers for all their hard work! Wish more ppl will do that. Especially in countries like the US. Feel like the amount of appreciation for them decreases by the year. 😅
I liked how the one teacher enunciated her words, very clear. It is the one hard thing I'm having learning the language, how fast they talk rolling words together.
I thought they all spoke clearly. That's how you know they're Japanese teachers.
I recognized so much more than I thought I could. Listening to people speak as much as possible has been the most help so far.
Nice, I will remember that.
Very informative. Thank you Ask Japanese team 🙏🏻
Seems as always, if your really into something you'll learn better/ faster.
I was learning Japanese and the hardest language I have done so far I would go to Japan for schooling but it's to late for that with what's going on in the USA right now
I was trying to learn katakana and hiragana with an app, but after about a month of being too busy to get back to it, I forgot nearly everything. There has to be an easier way to learn. I do want to live in Japan someday.
@@samuraigundam0079 There is a TH-cam channel called JapanesePod101, and they have a 20 part series for Hiragana and Katakana. 10 for Hiragana, and 10 for Katakana. So really you should only take two weeks to learn both; That is if you only watch one video a day.
Try chinese next ・゜(。┰ω┰。).・゜
Studying both at the same rn but if you get kanji down it's easy to understand a little of chinese characters and vice versa.
Megumin Thanks. Should I watch one video of each a day, or just take one at a time for either?
@@samuraigundam0079 What I did was just watch one video a day of just one series. You can definitely watch two videos of one series if your memory is good and your actually motivated. I would only stick with one series at a time though since a LOT of the Hiragana and Katakana look very similar (you'll see what I mean). Sorry for the wall of text :p
P.S. If you have any other questions I may be able to answer it.
Thank you for your wonderful videos! They are a joy to watch in these tiresome times.
If it's still ok to submit wishes for further videos, I'd love to learn more about japanese food.
Thank you very much, and stay safe and healthy!
As a Japanese native, I think she is good at speaking languages
Japanese teachers naturally speak so clearly, since they know how important it is for Japanese learners to understand. Good teachers.
How clearly do French teachers in France speak? Or French teachers in Quebec? Or French teachers in Switzerland or Belgium or Luxemburg (not Luxembourg as I read that with a different pronounciation)?
@@linkskywalker5417 I couldn't say. I really couldn't say.
Two of the teachers were my Japanese teachers when I was in Japan.
I'm good at listening and speaking, and loved to put what I learnt in school into practice, and talk to Japanese people when I was in Japan, despite my limited vocabulary. It can be really fun and rewarding imo, if you just have the courage to jump into it, without being too afraid of messing up. I find Japanese people to be very forgiving when it comes to foreigners in this regard, and they usually enjoy that you're making an effort, so I say go for it! No better way to learn to speak Japanese than that! :-) I'm awful at reading and writing kanji though... ( ^_^') Other students I knew were the exact opposite; good at memorizing kanji, but bad at speaking. It's like what that one teacher in the video said; being good at one aspect doesn't necessarily mean you're good at another, and it can go both ways.
Thank you for this very informative video👍❤️Japan
Cathy is so fit
im pretty sure my japanse teacher wants to kill me on how stupid i am . the only kanji i still remember after 10 years are all food related . LOL
You have to write as much as possible.
Repetition works.
Btw you would die if you study Chinese
@@turuus5215 speaking of chinese language , in my class around 90% of them are Chinese and man, kanji is so easy for them.
@@NB-1 ahaha .. at least we both still remember some kanji's !
Eccentric Neko Yes, Chinese is written in solely characters/kanjis. Reading and understanding Japanese is pretty easy for them.
@@turuus5215 ahh . no wonder.
nice and interesting video
You look vibrant in this video!
Se aprecia el video. Gracias.
haha i still learn katakana, but mybe now i can read hiragana word yeay.
Sehr engagierte Lehrer !!!. Danke für das Video ! :-D
Wish she had translations
Learning Japanese takes years based from my experience I've been studying for two years yet I'm still at N5 level. It really takes patience, hard work and time to learn a language. There are times I feel lazy to study kanji because it's too many to absorb for my brain, but I still push myself to learn it.
My tips are:
1. I focus studying kanji that are most used and common
2. I write the kanji several times I usually fill a page just for me not to forget
3. I watch Japanese youtubers
Ex: That Japanese Man Yuta
Sambokujun
PDR san
Roleta
It helps me for my listening skills and I imitate their accents.
4. Anime or Japanese movies
5. There are times I jot down notes on what the characters had said and also I make up my own sentences I don't care if it's right or wrong

頑張りますよー！(*^▽^*)
@D Y Maybe 30 or 40 I guess
"Learning Japanese takes years based from my experience I've been studying for two years yet I'm still at N5 level"
Yeah, sounds more like you just suck at studying, in which case perhaps you shouldn't be trying to give advice.
Out of curiosity, do you happen do all your daily "studying" just using duoligo as you do your morning business in the bathroom?
I takes very little effort to make use of any downtime you might have during your day (commuting to school/work, walking your dog, etc.) that can be used to review vocabulary or kanji, or listen to podcasts... Nihongo con Teppei (for beginners) or recently Sayuri Saying on youtube. Or even reading "graded readers" (e.g. stuff specifically aimed for language learners) like the ones from Tadoku.
"4. Anime or Japanese movies"
You will never learn the language by watching anime and movies with translated subtitles. You might remember a couple overused phrases here and there, that's all. Watching subtitled stuff is not studying... without subtitles, once you can understand a significant amount of the dialogue is a different matter obviously.
I doubt you'd be able to understand even elementary stuff like Chi's Sweet Home without subs though... after 2 years of studying, as you claim.
It's great that you're studying hard and getting plenty of exposure to the language.
Hardcore judging people who say "I studied Japanese for 6 months and got to N1 huehue it's eeeeeasy anyone can do it." -_-
Or really people who say "I learned Japanese" (past tense) at all. It doesn't work that way. It's a continuous process.
However, N5 is quite basic...most likely you have more practical understanding of Japanese rather than test-taking abilities, which is definitely not bad, but are you actively studying grammar and vocabulary as well? That's probably what it comes down to, as far as testing is concerned.
She is so cute in many ways lol
So, what did the teachers say?
Press on the "subtitles/closed captions" button (lower right of the video) and you can view the English subtitles.
Thank you Don Harden !
No sé Inglés XD
Pero la parte interesante está en japonés, así que no hay problema.
Bueno eso si 😁
Pues aprenda joven
i want to learn Japanese but can't do it in japan any tips to learn at home?
Before anything else learn hiragana and katakana, then you can go to some basic grammar and kanji. Search marugoto, you may find it useful. Then you will get a better idea by searching info in blogs/videos
As long you're motivated enough, a lot can be done, starting from your phone or laptop. Good old pencil and paper is better for learning any language though.
1. Use Google. Learn hiragana then katakana. Look up fb, pinterest or just images for spelling basic objects in hiragana and katakana. Things like foods you like, basic actions, general greetings and etc.
2. Look up Kanji/Grammar lessons on TH-cam or just Google that. Start from N5 lvl and make sure practice writing it. Muscle memory helps learning any language.
3. If you already watch Japanese content with subs, continue it to develop listening skills. To practice speaking, follow shadowing lessons. There's a lot of those on TH-cam. Follow closely and speak it. If the video is too fast, slow it down then practice it till you can speak at the same timing.
4. Look for Japanese activities in your community(online or offline) Whether is a gathering to language exchange or sewing classes. Anything to help you practice speaking and communicate in Japanese.
Venus Wong thank u I will try more , I been watch anime all my life and still can’t pick it up lol
Are you watching subbed or dubbed versions? If won't help if everything has been dubbed over 😣
Check out mass immersion approach by MattVsJapan. Very unconventional approach, I have just started my journey a few weeks ago. I'm curious where it will get me.
Cathy looks like a candy!
very early squad
woah i never been so really :0 すごいい !
Hey Cathy Cat - Does your carpet match the drapes ? How often do you shampoo the carpet ?
We need more male japanese teachers though, most guys that learn japanese end up speaking like women.
Suki desu!
Why do many Japanese struggle to learn good English when it’s easy compared to their own language?
Its not easy because the languages are so distinct. Japanese words cant even end in consonant unless its "n"
Actually one of the hardest languages to learn IS English. English is the fastest evolving language out of all the languages. Not to mention the rate at which slang is produced is ridiculous compared to other language s
my little baloney
ideers ideers everywhere hahha German accent detected
