Where I went to college (university) there were a lot of Japanese students and I went out with a Japanese gal for a while, but unfortunately I didn't learn a lot of Japanese. She was new to America so I was mostly helping her with English. I first learned about flashcards in Barry Farber's book on how to learn foreign languages. I don't ever use them for vocabulary, but I can see how they'd be useful in a language like Chinese or Japanese. I think the writing down the Kanji on flashcards you yourself make is a great idea! Anytime I study a new language I keep a notebook and do writing exercises in it. When I was learning Russian (still learning it, to be honest), I was taught how to write in cursive Cyrillic, so when I'm doing Russian writing exercises on paper, I use cursive instead of block characters. For speaking I use Pimsleur. I've studied French before and just got a French-language Assimil course for Russian: 'Le russe sans peine'. And remember... Kompyuta baka desu! ;) I made a Japanese girl laugh with that phrase in the computer lab when she got an email back from home in garbled text. Back then the school was using a row of UNIX computers running PINE (Pine is not email), a non-Unicode text-only email client which couldn't read Japanese or any non-Latin characters. Back to vocabulary, I agree with Steve Kaufmann's approach of not to actively learn long lists of vocabulary words but rather learn them through prolonged exposure to the language. I learned a lot of Spanish because I grew up having Mexican friends and weekend nights we'd get hammered and watch Spanish television. I think the booze relaxed me enough for my mind to be more receptive. Your mileage may vary. And pen-pals help a lot. That was a suggestion from my Spanish teacher. From age 14 into my mid-20s I had a lot of pen-pals and I didn't just stick with ones from Spanish speaking countries. I wanted to learn French, Italian, German and Portuguese, so I also got pen-pals from countries where those languages are spoken. Nowadays things are a lot faster and cheaper. I had a French pen-pal for 10 years and we'd get letters from each other once a month. And my parents had expensive phone bills from time to time because this was before the days of Skype and WhatsApp.
One technique I find allowed me to make significant leaps forward in my Japanese studies was incorporating the language into the things I already enjoy doing... playing video games in Japanese gave my learning an incredible jump start through regular exposure of certain vocabulary and expressions over and over again. Some words and phrases occurred so often I just naturally remember them without even realizing it... Video games are probably my favorite medium because I have no choice but to understand it in order to beat the game!
@ 11:32 There's no either/or in using Anki vs. making your own flashcards... you can build your own Anki deck! In fact that's all I've done, so I don't know how good the quality of the pre-made Japanese decks out there is.
I'm trying to learn Nepali and your tips are so so good. Especially the sticky notes on objects!!! I can't wait to get some and begin labeling everything! Thanks!
Thank you for your advices. I watch filmsand interviews. Indee I read everyday to learn new vocabulary. To build flash cards has been very helpful to me. I think the rules are not very important, but if you want to deep in the comprehension of the meanings, and the context, about complex themes, is possible you need them. I believe that. You are very kind.
Good idea with the stickers. Can do adjectives and nouns - e.g. colour + object. Verbs obviously tricky. Maybe have the stickers as a reminder to think of the word of what you are doing at the time.
Better watch some drama, they use natural Japanese language there. By watching anime some of my friends from Japanese studies have started to talk in high pitched voices... Thankfully I have ever been a big fans of those. I'm watching a lot of Japanese drama with Japanese subtitles, they are truly great for learning Japanese.
This is really going to help me at school. I have a french family so both my family and teacher are really pushing me in lessons but I am really awful. This might help me a lot.
WOW! I've learned English and German language in school and for above 6 years I couldn't say almost nothing in both ones. Since about one year, I started learning without grammar rules, memorizing list of words. I started learn mainly by listening and I'm so happy now! I'm able to understand the most movies and texts and now I can guess meaning of words. But I very admire you for your fluently of talking. It's amazing! What should I do to reach at least closed level of fluency? I'm very curious! Please respond on this ;) Greetings for you!
Hi Ivymuse! Thanks again for another excellent video. I'm currently learning German (living in Austria) but my gf is French, and so I'm also trying to keep up my level in that language. Did you ever study more than one language at the same time? And if so, was it easy to separate them? I'm at a very early stage with my German (more or less a complete beginner) and I have noticed that occasionally, German words are creeping into my French! I was talking to a Frenchwoman the other day and said, "drei" instead of "trois", which was pretty embarrassing! Also, how many languages do you speak? Thanks.
When you mentioned watching anime I thought "yeah, I should do that, but I'm not a huge fan... I only really like Detective Conan and I've already watched all the cool episodes" and then you mentioned DC too! :D haha By the way, do you watch it with subtitles in Japanese? This video was really helpful! I started studying Japanese in September when I was studying abroad (which also meant being taught Japanese in French D:) and now that I'm back home I'm studying it through the open university from here. To be honest, I'm struggling a little bit with it because the methods each university followed are quite different and it's also not my first priority right now, but I'm hoping to be able to catch up during the Easter holidays when I'll have more free time. And I'll definitely try the post-it notes and the flashcards. I agree, memorizing vocab is the worst. Long comment, I know, but one last question. Are you going to study Japanese during the summer? I'm afraid if I don't find some sort of language school I'll probably forget everything I've managed to learn so far, but at the same time I know that it will be difficult to find some lessons that fit my level S:
hahaaa yes, DC is the best :D I do watch it with subtitles! otherwise I woud have no idea what's happening ;) it's so cool that you're learning japanese as well! Over the summer I'll probably just self-teach aka try to get a head start on my third semester and make sure I know all the vocab & kanji really well. I have three months of holidays, I should technically be able to find the time ;)
Well I know not everyone likes it but try music like gackt or l arc en ciel, both are on itunes, if anime is what you would like to try...ironman,x-men, and wolverine from marvel has anime if super heros are your thing, ah maybe ad police if you like futuristic cops, one piece on hulu is funny but I don't know what your style of shows are but that maybe a start or even classic godzilla/gojira movies
Well, how long did you take for speaking English perfectly and sounds as a native speaker like you are now? Thanks one more time and you're pretty nice!
I've been doing japanese for fun for almost a year, and everything you said in the video besides the 50 kanji a day is something I did do, but very impressive, I also would write out the kanji or japanese words that I know with english sentences. Also at the age of 16 I started listening to japanese music but I wasn't learning at that time , but music helps and you may hear words and apply them, also have fun with it don't cram unless you want to. Also writing out the hiragana and katakana helps too each morning, iam no expert but this is what help me where iam today, also if you know spanish that will help too, the words are similar, check my video out on youtube I made. Ivymuse I would say your videos are very useful for learning languages.
Hola. En el video anterior a este (en el No 1) dices que no es fácil encontrar buenos programas en español. Sin embargo la tve internacional como los paises latinoamericanos producen gran cantidad de material audiovisual y musical de muy buena calidad con un español neutro o estándar, básicamente se puede aprender mucho de estos programas y las diferencias tienden a ser de acento, pronunciación o de vocabulario. Gracias. Chao.
I am a little lazy but another source you can use is lang-8. I used to use it and it was a good concept but I just don't have the motivation any more :( SAD DAY :(
If you want to learn more about Japan etc. I suggest Rachel & Jun! They have a youtube account, they talk about Japan and the Japanese language a lot! Also, thanks for the tips! subscribed!~
My Native language is Swedish. I am studying Finnish. I started at school when I was 9 and had like about 3x45 min lessons a week. Finnish have so difficult grammar. Not close to Germanic languages at all. I understand almost everything and can speak it okay, people understand me but I get tired in my brain. I can't talk deep conversation stuff. Writing is a struggle still after many years. It feels like I will never learn it. But I do not want to give up. I have to learn it in a different way or something. More writing. I am now studying Estonian, It is sister languages to Finnish. It feels like it is easier than Finnish grammar and much fun to learn something from the start. I found that English is easy but a bit hard to pronounce some words. Someone else studying a language with difficult grammar and still not fluent after many years? Sorry for long text but I feel frustrated with Finnish.
+Idellle : You have chosen one of the most grammatically complex languages on the planet! I believe that after Finnish, you'll find everything else quite easy in comparison, except perhaps Hungarian. Since you're so close geographically, I'd suggest you take a trip to Finland and stay there for at least three months. Six months if you can. I'm sure you'll find you'll be fluent in no time. Best to you.
Merlên H Hi. I am a Swedish speaking Finn (Finlandssvensk) I live in Finland. I had not chosen Finnish. I was forced with it in school and life from 9 years old. Feel like everyone else who is Finlandssvensk is better than me.
Hi, I wonder if you have videos or a language log showing how Japanese is going. It must be nice being able to cram kanji quickly without learning all the radicals and what not. I have been studying Japanese for several years now and I think it's very difficult. I wonder how someone good at language like you finds it. I like Anki or flash card apps better than physical cards but I think you have a nice routine going and it would be nice if you didn't just explain it but showed it.
漢字はちょっとむずかしいと思います。日本語の勉強をがんばって！ I can say a lot of things, but I'm really nervous about getting a pen pal. I have no idea where my Japanese skill level is at, but I know it is relatively low on the path to fluency.
Hi Ivymuse~! I'm a native Chinese speaker and I live in South Korea. I can understand 100% of what you are saying, but I just can't speak as fluent as you do. So what should I do to improve my spoken English? Thank you~!
Hey! Might I give some advice? It seems that there are 3 important parts in learning a language: Reading/Writing, Listening and Speaking. I don't know much about this but it looks like you are very good at writing, and you're probably really good at hearing. Speaking is the most important and hard part! You are going to have to put yourself in circumstances that might force you to use what you have learned.
Thank you~! I think you are totally right~! Now I'm hosting couchsurfers from all over the world and speaking English all the time. I think I'm making progress~!
Zilong Lee Thats an awesome idea! You are and will keep making progress. I believe language is more then just structers and patterns that one biulds up in a formal and rigid way: it's experience, culture, creation, feelings, music, rhythm. Life maybe.
I've got a few questions for you. How much spoken English do you understand, and how was your progress with it? What "accents" do you understand best (or you're familiar with), and which kind of "English" do you think you'll never ever be able to understand well? Thanks in Advance
Hi, my question for you is.... How long have you been learning English? my first language is Spanish and also I speak some french, but I have reached certain point in my English that I'm stuck. I don't know how to continue progressing. Do you have some advice for advanced learners?
Seriously though, I wanna know when exactly you started learning English and how long it took you to reach at the fluency you have now. At the first time i watched your video about some books you recommend, i honestly thought you are a native speaker.
She's so kawaii ( cute in Japanese ) that I keep watching her videos many times, but I wish she didn't express her idea by gesture so much. Anyway, thanks for the helpful videos!
Les francais ont l'aliance Francaise (que je suis membre) pour parler avec les vraiment francais. Est-ce que les autres langues ont un truc comme ca que tu sais?
i just wonderd, how i can remember sentences and speak it out fluently, i dont know how to put worlds in sentences,and sometimes i get to be serious when i read newspapers because i can't totally understand what they were writen, may be i didnt spend time a lot to learn english, ?
It was really helpful to hear you, my listening go up incredibly because all your fast speech :) You are adorable and beautiful!!!!... thanks for all your tips. Greetings from ECUADOR
OMG, Rainy in my home when I'm watching your videos. I think do you have more than educated,course or a banch of tips. I guess that's talents and sense because when we are talking there are about subconsius mind. Well i'm much of appreciate cause not easy separated or ignored influence by mother tongue and again congratulation gorgeous ; ]
I think is really easy for girls to get language partners :l but for man it's hard or maybe just for me, i have really bad experience trying to know people.
You should try Japanese dramas instead. I don't like anime either, so I watch dramas instead. Google mydramalist and you'll find tons of dramas to choose from.
disagree... good video but.... dont have a somewhat easy or harder to learn, the only thing is how motivated u are about learn that and the way u do that love yr channel im learning japanese too and also english isnt my maternal language , im brazilian anyway i dont feel like being fluently in english cause i.make mistakes everytime like for example while writting this haha
If someone wants to learn portuguese. I`d be glad to help...I read and write english so so, but in the other hand I cant speak fluently. feel free to ping me
+du nguyen FYI, if you watch youtube on OS, chrome instead of internet explore, there is setting which can control the speed of the video. Try that. Comprehensible input from all youtube video really helps me a lot and in the beginning of my learning, I started at lower speed. That helped me to improve my skill and eventually led to understand them at normal speed. Don't be bothered by the comment Amy Samuels. and to Amy Samuels, we are all here to get some tips how to efficiently learn second language. If all native speakers or someone fluent are mean like you, no one can learn second language. I am pretty sure Ivymuse on the video also learned and was helped from people are nice and not over-center-cultural of their own language. Do you think that Samuels can understand all utbe in Japanese at normal speed? No, I don't think so, yet. but she will improve too.
+Matthew Serina : Do you have way to study English effectively and share advice you're for me. How to speak English naturally such as native people. Thank you!.
what I do whenever I look for you. I forgot English .what do you eat ? I think that you eat honey. believe me if you my teacher. I will teach quickly..
I have a new, dedicated language learning channel!! Check it out here: th-cam.com/users/TheUnnativeSpeaker

You really sound like a native. Congrats! :)

Great videos here. Thank you very much.

Les francais ont l'aliance Francaise (que je suis membre) pour parler avec les vraiment francais. Est-ce que les autres langues ont un truc comme ca que tu sais?
I'm using Skype to work on my Hungarian. It's a fantastic way to work with native speakers.
i just wonderd, how i can remember sentences and speak it out fluently, i dont know how to put worlds in sentences,and sometimes i get to be serious when i read newspapers because i can't totally understand what they were writen, may be i didnt spend time a lot to learn english, ?
***** thank you
How can I concentrate on the content of your words instead of your beauty ?
It was really helpful to hear you, my listening go up incredibly because all your fast speech :) You are adorable and beautiful!!!!... thanks for all your tips. Greetings from ECUADOR
Can you speak czech as well ? :)
Thank you
OMG, Rainy in my home when I'm watching your videos. I think do you have more than educated,course or a banch of tips. I guess that's talents and sense because when we are talking there are about subconsius mind. Well i'm much of appreciate cause not easy separated or ignored influence by mother tongue and again congratulation gorgeous ; ]
thanks for help
I am a Japanese. If you are thinking to have a friend who speaks Japanese as a mother tongue, please let me know.
how long does it you take to learn english
It's pretty hard to get you, but I think It's better like this. Only I need to pay attention and read the subtitules.
Please suggest books or novels to read for English beginners.
There is a professor on TH-cam recommending
◆ The hunger games
◆ Charles Dickens stories
I think is really easy for girls to get language partners :l but for man it's hard or maybe just for me, i have really bad experience trying to know people.
You should try Japanese dramas instead. I don't like anime either, so I watch dramas instead. Google mydramalist and you'll find tons of dramas to choose from.
Josefin Erlandsson thanks for the tip, I'll check it out :) I've never actually seen a drama, excited to try it :D
how many languages you know?
thank you for this video
how do i learn french easily plz

漢字は読むのは簡単だけど、書くのは難しい。even for native Japanese speakers.
Just use Anki

Hi.I'm Ishiki and Japanese.German sure is hard.I'll be counting on you.
Italki.com is a good site for Skypeing people of most if not all languages. Most of the popular polyglots use it. Just check it out.
What is your native language, Ivymuse?
German
OMG!. ivymuse speak verry fast. I had to use subtitles of TH-cam to understand.
She speaks at a natural pace.
+du nguyen FYI, if you watch youtube on OS, chrome instead of internet explore, there is setting which can control the speed of the video. Try that. Comprehensible input from all youtube video really helps me a lot and in the beginning of my learning, I started at lower speed. That helped me to improve my skill and eventually led to understand them at normal speed. Don't be bothered by the comment Amy Samuels.
and to Amy Samuels, we are all here to get some tips how to efficiently learn second language. If all native speakers or someone fluent are mean like you, no one can learn second language. I am pretty sure Ivymuse on the video also learned and was helped from people are nice and not over-center-cultural of their own language. Do you think that Samuels can understand all utbe in Japanese at normal speed? No, I don't think so, yet. but she will improve too.
