    these easylanguage videos are so interesting, not only because you can learn new languages but also because you can see real people from different cultures, their bodylanguage and the things they say. I find that fascinating because that's something you can really only experience when you visit the country.

      @silvercrystal3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      for me, what they speak in terms of sentences, grammar and vocab is super easy to get as it's very beginner friendly but *how* some of them speak is where I find myself struggling the most if I start listening only without reading in parallel. It's just so fast and wishy-washy sounding at times that my current ear for Japanese is constantly lacking behind and I need to pause and repeat some of the sentences several times in order to truly hear out what they're supposed to mean. It's much faster paced than hearing English or German.

      @salbee2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@tysonball9804 Hi! I'm not OP, but I believe it could do with the simplicity of their responses. None of them really stood there wondering about what happiness meant in its essence, everyone just provided the thing that first occurred to them. That's evident in that people responded based on their current mood and activity rather than trying to generalize the notion of happiness to their life-long journey. Just a guess, though!

    • @Mobik_
      @Mobik_ 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@salbee2 @tysonball9804 2 years later LMAO... Yeah, like @salbee2 said. They answers felt simple yet deep, like keeping the good of their hearts and the world around them. Something super simple like the mom saying she's happy seeing how his children can do things that couldn't do before is just a simple "naive" action from their children but bring so much joy to that mom. I loved it! "Naive" in a sense that no issues in the world can modify something so cute and "simple" like being next to your love one while walking and that giving you so much happiness (I'm the same, BTW).

I'm also happiest when I can afford to spend money freely on my hobbies (buying books for Japanese language, buying supplies for gardening, etc), without worrying if I'll have enough left over for the bottom tier of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
