- After my recent short documentary on how Japanese completely changed my life (link below), I sat down with the amazing @LindieBotes to finally speak Japanese with a person again after very little practice for the last 7 years due to some very difficult experiences that led me to stop studying the language, a story which I told in the documentary.
It turns out that Lindie has also not spoken Japanese for a long time, and so we thought this was a wonderful opportunity to be incredibly vulnerable with you all and capture our best efforts to have a truly delightful conversation in a language that means so much to both of us, after so much time away from it.
Subtitles are available as Close Captions (CC) in the TH-cam player. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did and please go and support Lindie over on her amazing TH-cam channel: / lindiebotes

It was so nice being able to share this very special experience finally speaking Japanese again with Lindie. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did and please find links to her amazing channel, her Instagram, as well as the five-language conversation we had together on her channel!
Did you enjoy our chat? Did any of our stories and experiences resonate with your own life and language learning? Tell us all about it in the comments! 😄
Didn't realize i didn't have subtitles on in till after the video 😯. it was as if i was listening in my native langauge LOL
I forgot we used that wacky intro music!! Thanks again Robin, it was super fun to chat to you!! 💖
Haha I was definitely re-thinking my choices about that wacky intro music when editing the video 😂 Thank you as well Lindie, I had such a great time ❤️
It was so interesting to see their mannerisms and facial expressions adjust to the language they were speaking. You can see how much time they’ve spent on learning the nuances of how the natives communicate non-verbally as well. So impressive!!
Two of my favorite people with great tips to keep us motivated at learning any language.
Aw I'm honoured to be in your list of favourite people! ❤️ Thank you for watching!
I am learning Japanese myself and surprised at myself how much I actually understood from the video!
Thank your for the video! Hearing you talk together was a highlight of my day!
I love the expressiveness of Linda, and I love how polite you are Robin, to Linda!
She's great! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video Irene 😄
This is awesome!! I forgot that Robin spoke Japanese as well. It was so fun listening along and seeing how far you’ve both come in your Japanese. So inspiring! 💕
Woohoo I'm so glad you enjoyed it and found it inspiring! ✨
You guys speak Japanese really fluently!! I’m so impressed! お二人ともすばらしいですね！
よこさんのコメントを読んで嬉しいです！😄 フィードバックをありがとうございまーす 🙇🏻♂️
The ad I got on this video was for coffee. TH-cam understands the target audience here XD
Great to hear two inspiring Japanese learners "at it"! It was encouraging for me as a beginner to be able to pick out snippets of what you were both saying, even without the subtitles. ありがとう！
I can't wait to dive deep into language again. I feel like a fog has lifted and I feel excited to learn again. I've been really wanting to learn Japanese and this made me even more excited!
Heyyy Mandy! It’s nice to see another comment from you ☺️ I’m really glad that you’re feeling like that fog has lifted and inspired to learn again - that’s a hugeeee step in my opinion! Sending you all the best vibes and I hope you’ll love all the upcoming Japanese-related content! You got this with your language learning 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@RobinMacPhersonFilms Yes! Thank you! Everyone was really so kind and supportive then. Can't wait to see what comes :)
@@MandiLou41493 please do keep me posted on how it’s going and how you’re doing! ☀️
@@BooksRebound I'll check her out, thank you! I know its difficult.. I've been learning Korean for about 3 years now and I know they have similar grammatical structures.
@@MandiLou41493 how's it going
2 favourite youtubers ❤ this was such a nice discussion 👏👌
So glad you enjoyed it, Kyle! And honoured to be among your favourite TH-camrs 🎉
Even tho this time when I had to rely 100% on your subtitles (compared to Lindy's video where I understood your Spanish), I LOVE hearing you speak in another language. I hope you'll do more of these. And look at it this way: it's an opportunity to use a language you may not otherwise have much opportunity to practice.
I guess the question of "belonging" comes to every person who lived abroad for a while and/ or was committed to learn everything about another culture. I am still surprised when one of my coworkers disrupts my lunch break vocabulary study session with the question "Why do learn a(nother) language?". And I feel that they don't get me.
At the last place I stayed we had a weekly "international language exchange meeting" in a pub. And there I found friends with the same mindset. The drawback is that there is a steady fluctuation in these kind of groups, because people who are interested in other languages and cultures are inclined to move more often to other places.
Try to find (or form) a group like that at the place were you are now!
What is great about your Japanese is the tone/intonation. Yes, sometimes the words don't come out but the tone you guys have is quite like native and that is one of the most difficult things to acquire if you are self-teaching the language. I'm not sure if I'm making sense, but, kudos to you both!
I love this video! Appreciate it!
I’m a PhD student at Japan but now temporarily studying in the US. My English is still awful. But this video encourages me to study more and more! 「言語があればhomeがある…」it’s very lovely word! Belongingは日本語だと「所属」といいますが、I think their nuance are a little bit different.
Wow the feeling of belonging somewhere truly hits deep to my soul, truly is the reason for me to want to learn languages too. I don’t seek to be surrounded by many people but maybe just belong with very few quality people, maybe I have the wrong idea about belonging idk 😔 . You guys really vibe off each other, I hope you can collaborate again one day 🙏
I love the video! Listen to your experience, motivates me a lot.:)
I'm learning Japanese and i hope that in the future I would watch your video without captions!
I’m so glad you loved the video! Be sure to leave another comment when you come back and watch again triumphantly in the future 🤩🥳
@@RobinMacPhersonFilms I'll do it! 🌠
Glad that I came accross this channel!!
Amazing convo, I love this collaboration, you guys are such an aspiration in language learning, more videos like this pls :) Saludos desde México!
Ready to learn master 🤓!! 💜 merci ✨✨
Parfait ! Je suis content de te voir ici ☺️✨💫 Bon courage !
@@RobinMacPhersonFilms eres el mejor, me encanta tu canal y me han ayudado muchísimo tus tips! ☺️✨
I don't speak Japanese but it was a great video to watch!
I'm really glad that you enjoyed the video! 😄
both are great
So nice...! Vi el video que Lindie publicó de ustedes y me pareció genial... que se repita..!
Yay!🎉❤️
Woohoo! 🎉❤️
2 inspirations!
Heyy Rasmus! Thank you 😄
I was scared first, but glad I understand it all. I'm trying to learn Russian right now but it's kind of hard after focusing on Japanese for so long...
興味を持ってお二人の会話を聞かせていただきました。勇気を持って日本語で会話をするのは素晴らしいですね！英語と日本語は語彙も文法も発音も全然違うので、英語の話者が日本語を流暢に話すのは至難の業ですし、その逆も然りです。僕は今英語を学んでいますが、日本人が英語を喋るのは本当に大変だな、とつくづく思います。奇を衒うことなく、地道に勉強を続けていきたいです。面白いビデオをありがとうございました。これからも楽しみにしています！
ビデオを見て、コメントをしてありがとうございます、しのださん！よかってですね、もう英語がペラペラ話せてもまだ頑張って勉強を続けていますね！僕もこれからも日本語の勉強で頑張って楽しみたいです。しのださんには全部うまく行っていて、ハッピーでありますように ✨
Japanese is so 😍 Such a beautiful language.
Amazing. I'd like to learn Japanese someday, but it looks so difficult...
10:03 Lindie Said she lived (sumu 住む) in Tokyo but the captions said she Died (shine 死ね) in Tokyo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣 to be clear, I translated and wrote the English captions, but the Japanese captions were auto generated by TH-cam 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Fabulous! 🌸💜🌺💕❤️
long time no see
Please make a Chinese version as well!!
We spoke a little bit of Chinese in our 5-language chat that we had over on Lindie's channel! The link to that is in the video description. It would be nice to do a full conversation in Chinese in the future though! 😄
@@RobinMacPhersonFilms I watched that video already, it was pretty fun! I like to challenge myself with watching your Chinese speaking videos without subtitles so I'm waiting for more vids like that for sure~
@@willow6311 oh yay I’m glad! Well I definitely plan to make lots more videos speaking in Chinese from now on, so you’ll have plenty of nice content to watch 🤓☺️
@@RobinMacPhersonFilms thank you so much! I really appreciate your effort~
Konnichiwa, Arigato, Oyasumi. That's all I got
Great video 👍
Can you speak Korean?
ロビンさんはしんせつなひとですよ♥️
add subtitles pls
English subtitles are available in the TH-cam player as Closed Captions (CC), you just need to turn them on. I did my best to mention this in the description and in a pinned comment 🙏🏼 I hope you enjoy the video! 😄
日本語も上手！中国語、ドイツ語といっしょ！
God help us…
