Thank you for helping her

This is my daughters dream. It passed me by. But my love for Japan has been passed to my kids.
How much did gogo pay for this review???
She looks like the girl from sugar rush from reck it Ralph
Penelope
Yes 😂😭
@@RasberryLychee I think it is Vanellope
Vanellope von Schweetz
Mikan von schweetz
0:26 Does anybody hear the children screaming?? 😂
Yes
That was my soul
Yes!!!
Mikan are you ok?!
Even though you just woke up I kinda like how messy your hair looks. It is really cute
Stessa!
that style looks good on her
This video was really helpful and reassuring because you went to the school I chose to attend through gogonihon. My mom has been really unsupportive and putting me down about the finances and medical stuff of moving to Japan and knowing the area is cheap and was a fun experience really helps. Thank you so much.
I would also like to see a video about what the accommodations were like and getting a job! 💓 keep being awesome Mikan
Edit: omg thank you for all the likes 🥺💕
The go to nihon TH-cam channel has a playlist about the different accommodations
Your language school sounds so amazing!! I'm doing Japanese at uni in England and I TOTALLY get what you mean about feeling like you're not really learning anything. My first year just finished and we learnt 120 kanji in class which is basically nothing really so I've been teaching myself some. I'm waiting for my year abroad where I feel like I can actually learn!!
Mikan singing Likey by Twice (12:03) is what makes me want to live.
I'm studying Japanese for 3 years now and I feel you girl, it takes a lot of time and effort and you still feel like you know nothing. I went to study in Japan for 3 weeks and my Chinese friends were studying Japanese for 3 years as well, but they were in the highest level while I was at the lowest xD All this to say, let's do our very best and feel proud of it, the important thing is to never give up ^^
I totally agree on what you said about how long it actually takes to learn japanese if you're from a western country. I'm from Sweden and I spent approx 1 year in Korea, and I studied korean for 3 (!!!) years before I even moved there. But as soon as I arrived I was so overwhelmed because I couldn't talk to people or even understand what they were saying.... But within 6 months I moved up to level 4, which also meant that I could apply for a Korean university the term after if I wanted to, though I chose to move back to Sweden hah.
it's quite late but i'm curious about your story
so i'm Korean and in my uni i used to see lots of foreign students who literally cannot talk in Korean and i thought the reason is the low level of language acceptance condition
Around level 4 to 5, how much able to understand korean conversation? can you just understand some of the words only or guess some context?
Ah hello there Swedish fella!
I regret so much not going to japan and study when I had the opportunity to after high school.
And now it feels like it's to late. I have studied at university for 4 years to be a preschool teacher and worked now 5 years as a preschool teacher. I live in an apartment with my partner and we are planing to move to a bigger place (maybe even buying instead of renting) next summer. And we want to be parents too. I'm 29 and feel like there is so much I want to do but that time just isn't on my side anymore. So for all you young people out there, if you ever have the opportunity to study in another country, DO IT! Or you might end up like me and regretting it.
I feel the same way! I really feel like I wasted my youth :( I'm 28 now and working on my immigration to Canada to be with my boyfriend (I'm American) but I really would love to study in Japan and so does my boyfriend. At the same time tho I want to have a baby before I'm too old to have one but saving for this is really difficult :(
You’re still so young just go if you want to! Get a job teaching pre school in Japan, and study on the side. Even for a couple months
I used to feel like you before and now I'm 33 and still planning to go out and see the world.
Holy crap are you me? This is crazy. Yeah it's tough being a female because we have to get our lives together a bit faster. I studied in College for........wait for it......SEVEN YEARS. and I don't even LIKE my degree enough to get a job in it, and I don't even have a relationship that I see lasting well enough to make a marriage out of it.
Yeah if you are 15 or even 13 years old START RESEARCHING NOW exactly what language school, or japanese trade school, or japanese university you want to go to! once you're past maybe 26 or 27 things start getting a lot harder in terms of trying to get every life goal you want to get. This isn't to put down my fellow 29 year olds or to put pressure on peole who are only 16, or 15 years old, its to encourage you to go after your dream.
I'm 29, and decided better late than never. I sent my application for April, so I'm hoping I get in. You're never too old to go. Follow your dreams 🙏🏻
Being a spanish speakear I think that the pronunciation is very easy to learn to us, so... A point extra to spanish speakers!
Same iam Puerto Rican and when I pronounce a word in Japanese it's very easy for me :D
@@MelanieMolina15 Eyyyy fellow Puerto Rican!
@@MandarinCat Eyyyyy lol XD
Ikr soy 🇲🇽 mexicana
For real ! I'm half Mexican and I'm glad Spanish has helped me.
It is amazing how motivated you are!
I hope I can also do this when I am older.
same but I find it way too dangerous to do the work she's doing,because you can't know who really are your students...they may be dangerous people,who knows
you can do it! start researching schools.trust me i went to college for a degree i dont even like and i wish like hell i would have just took the leap to japan. you can do it just trust in yourself. the average person has a massive well of untapped potential in them don't leave your potential untapped.
I love how unplanned and casual this is
I love love LOVE this video, its so much more stripped down and casual. Honestly you’re a mood
i really love your channel! it really helps me be excited for my language class because I’m studying japanese in school and you make studying in japan look so fun!!!
I found your channel back in October when I found out about gogonihon and was doing some research about people that were doing language school :) They've been an enormous help getting everything sorted and now I'm about to start language school in July :D
Thank youuuuu omg I was just looking at go go nihon ! Finally this video is up and again thank you so much for your time xD 💕 so much useful information !
Hello Mikan! You made my day by posting this video, I hope you have a wonderful day! ❤️❤️
I'm coming to Japan in October with the help of GoGo Nihon too! I chose a different language school but I hope that I'll be able to live such a positive experience too!
How long are you going for? I’ll be in japan in October too!
@@eristhekid I'm going to live in Tokyo for a year and you?
doublemdance for a month or two. I’m just seeing what Tokyo is like, I’ll be back in the summer of 2020 for the whole summer
@@eristhekid cool! I was there last year for 2 weeks and I fell in love with the city and since I really wanted to study Japanese I decided it would be a good thing to move there
doublemdance that’s so cool and you’re so lucky. I know once I go for that one month or two I’m not going to want to leave. And we should hang out in Tokyo!
You're now my new fave Japan vlogger! 💜I love how spontaneous this vlog was!
You’re giving me faith ✨✨✨ love ur energy! You’re so lovely ! Love watching u ‘ literally didn’t know why I wasn’t subscribed till rn 😭😭
Yayyy a new video!!!
Thankyou for making this video!❤ right now watching it and hoping that i also can study in japan like you are doing right now!
the start of the video and its already a big PHAT mood. also love your vids! すげ！
BRRRRR, yes Mikan, that is really good!👌👌👌👌
Just came here from watching your other videos! Hope you're doing well 💕
This is reeeaaallllyyyy making me wanna start studying Japanese seriously again, but I'm so lazy, like I'd need to have to go to a class because I won't study on my own XD
i am also AWFUL at studying on my own lol
This was such a useful video Mikan! I’m thinking about studying with gogonihon at some point so your personal experience is really valuable! I hope your Japanese studies are still going well - I’ve started during the first lockdown and am loving it so far!
Same I plan on attending next April hopefully
This is a great video, Mikan!! The 20 minutes passed like nothing. I really want to study japanese now. Also, you are extremely cute in the video!!
Love your videos keep doing it ❤️❤️
LOVE YOU MIKAN❤️ !
Thank you Mikan, I am currently In a Email thread with Gogo Nihon right now, I have been busy the last months trying to pick a school. SNG Was In my top five picks so I'm glad to get a firsthand experience story! Couldn't have come at a better time! I appreciated this a lot It was great advice. I only have enough money for a 6Month stay but I might do It twice and stay a year.
This video made me feel so much better. I've been learning Japanese for about 2 years in England and I'm still hardly n4. When you said all the stuff about how hard Japanese is expecially for native English speakers it really helped motivate me. Thank you Mikan!
Charlotte Morgan がんばってね ヽ(‘ ∇‘ )ノ Japanese is a beautiful language
I really like the idea of making a video on different situations you know of, in which people have come to Japan!! I feel like I too often hear only about the "traditional" route (e.g. going to a language school, possibly a university, or becoming qualified to teach English) but not so much about other situations people have fallen into.. More or less.
Me when I see a new video from Mikan:
*YYYYYYEEEEEEESSSS
Me when I see one: =====D (Sorry, but it had to be said.)
Haha, I've been looking forward to this so much! :) Thank you!
Don't worry about meeting timelines or anything like that for videos, even if you promise to make them. It's not like we're actively paying for the content you provide, and actual life does take precedence. ;)
It was nice to hear about your experience at language school! I had a similarly good time when I was at school in Fukuoka (sadly just 6 weeks :( ).
I arrived in Tokyo yesterday to meet up with my mom and am already looking forward to when we'll leave again. :'D Too many people, I get really stressed about that. Anyway, Good luck with college! Work hard, rest well; you got this! :)
I'm still very on the fence about weather I want to go to uni in Japan, but you're definitely proving to me that its possible. Thanks Mikan
I'll be going to a Language school in Japan in October, and staying for 2 years. I am excited and nervous about it but I know I won't be alone since my bf is Japanese ♡ it's gonna be awesome to finally be together after 5 years of Long Distance. I will absolutely try my best and be positive like you are Mikan♡ you're such an inspiration for me! Hope that someday we can meet up if you do a meetup like you did in April! 💕
Sarah Strawberries I’ll be japan in October too for language school but I’m only going for a month course to see what Tokyo is like. I’m still debating on which school. Which one did you pick?
@@eristhekid I've actually visited Japan 3 times already so that's why i knew i wanted to study there. You'll love it in Tokyo! I'll be studying in a Language School in Chiba prefecture since my boyfriend lives there.
How has your trip been? Hope it’s been an amazing time!
@@strawberriesarah kindly tell me the name of the school
omg updates?
When I came to Japan I didn't know ANY Japanese, and I haven't been able to take language courses. This sounds like a really awesome opportunity though. :)
I love your videos Mikan! I’d love if you could make more videos with your friends going to theme cafes or places like de Sanrio Puroland video! Your videos are so heartwarming it almost feels as if the viewer is also hanging with you guys at those beautiful places.
Best pep talk! Thank you very much !!
i haven’t seen your hair up like this, sO CUUUUTE 💖
I’ve started watching you when you had around 20 thousand subscribers and I’ve just looked at the subscribers count. O my gosh. Congrats for 84 thousand subscribers! Love you so much!
You are a big motivation for me❤️ love your videos
I'm studying at language school in Tokyo for 2 months now, and , oh yeah, I learned more Japanese than when I tried to learn it in Ukraine for 4 years!
Thank you so much for sharing, you just inspire me to keep going and achieving stuff)
Thank you
mikaaaan!💕🍊
I'm using gogo nihon for when i study abroad and i'm so excited!! Gonna work my ass off this whole year and a half to make it💜 thank you for making a video on this too!!!
Same!! I think I'll be going to the school shes attending, got a decent amount saved currently
For once I'm early. YAY FOR ME!! Love your videos so much!
When your in Spanish 1 but planning to move to Japan with your friends in the future
Me:”Time to learn two languages at the same time”
im planning to move there too in the future, im only 16 i know spanish but i dont know how to speak japanese at all and theres so much to doing in the future and i still have to worry about highschool :(
So I got nostalgic over my time in Japan and my language school and I just happen to lookup Shinjuku Japanese Langauge Insitute and I had no idea you made TH-cam videos! We went to SNG together! I hope you're doing well!
These Candid videos are great to watch. Love from India.💙
Thank you! Your videos always help me to learn about Japan because I am also planning to move there!
You know to be honest I’m just here for you Mikan ❤️😂💜💗💕 luv u and big fan
So cute! Thank you for sharing!
I love your videos! Please come with more vlogs!!
I LOVE YOURRR VIDSSSSS !!!!❤️❤️❤️
Also sorry but can you do a night routine? I really liked your morning one! It was interesting and inspiring!!
It's my first time watching your videos in a row, and I subscribed. You're so bubbly and adorable! ;w;
Have a good day tmrw queen 💕💕💕💕
I appreciate you making videos in Japan 💗
Literally every one of your videos you look sooo pretty and I love you so much
I have so much fun just watching your videos :3
oof you're so precious and I really enjoy your videos!! This was really interesting and informative, thank you! Love from Jamaica
Aw, you're so pretty Mikan.
that's so interesting! i'm currently in my 2nd semester of 'japanese studies' in uni and they also make us write down sentences in hiragana at the beginning of every lesson
Another good day, another good great video
I've been learning Japanese for five years now and for the first 3 years, I barely learned anything aside from hiragana, katakana. Then I got a new teacher, who was a native speaker and she pushed us so hard and I've learnt so much more stuff like Kanji, sentence structures and practical application instead of just speaking about foods and breakfast in hypothetical situations. Also, my other teachers were absolutely lovely, but my teacher is literally like everyone's mum or a fun aunt. She gives the best advice and brings us healthy snacks when we're stressed! She even booked a time for us to leave school so we can all go out to a traditional Japanese restaurant.
I'm from Germany and currently considering studying in Japan next year, and I actually want to attend the same language school as you did (pure coincidence) so this video helped me personally a lot!
Und? Hast du’s gemacht? :))
Love your videos!!!
just suscribed! i love all ur videos:) good luck for fashion school, i think by now you have graduated:))
yay my question is finally answered!
I love your vids 😍❤️💕
It's funny that just a few hours back, I watched the other video where you talked about joining fashion college in Japan that was posted a year ago.. And now you posted this, which could be considered part 2 of that video as well! 😂😂
Thanks for sharing this with us though😊😊😊😊💕💕💕💕
Hi! So glad to see everyone :)
I loooooooooooooooooove how chill you are here x)))
Thanks so much for the video, Mikan. Professionals might be o.k. at passing information but listening to them usually sends my brain in to a process of slow fermentation, (knew I could shoehorn it in somewhere) and I go to sleep with my makeup on. I prefer my bunf delivered sweet, vibrant and alive - you sure you just woke up? Wish I looked that good and dished it that well after a nap. Liking what you say about teachers with superpowers btw. They leave such a positive mark and change your direction radically. You never forget them. I look to you for “front line” info, Mikan and you always deliver in a way that is interesting and awake! Loving you cute-star. Please keep producing. Maxine. “Thejustpixie.” xxx
Love you so much! You are so cute💜
that pause in the first part though, Lol! Thanks for this useful video! I'll make sure to keep all of the things I'll learn in this video! Love you Mikan!💖
I love your videos so much 💛💛
12:01 OH MY GOD ONCE?!?!!! 설렌다 me likey me likey likey likey mikan!!♡
I somewhat relate with your language school experience. I studied Japanese for two years but it was very broken since I studied it at uni for a term then had to wait a year to study it again (self taught myself for that year). When I got to study abroad for a 3 week summer programme I found out I learned way more than what I did at university. Sadly I found out while I was in Japan that I failed university... It's been a year since then and I am curious about going to a language school then doing the small programs in the UK here
You are so cute, i honestly can't handle it 😍😭
I died. She said DISGUSTING like that vine 😂
eeeEEE I'm so so happy you went to school in Takadanobaba and recommend it!! I really thought that area was cute & lowkey wanna live/go to school in an area called Takadanobaba hahah if I end up going to a language school instead of work visa I'll check it out ;D
I love your videos! Keep it up ^_^ Love from India~ ❤️
Ooo can we please get a daily makeup tutorial 🙏🏻😁
after seeing him in an instagram state pronouncing in that language to if so cute uwu // I look so cool ~ (⁰▿⁰) ~ yee!!
I hope all your studies projects are fulfilled Miss ♡ ☆
0:24 I never wear makeup but everything else, YES. Someone finally said it!
It’s true that it’s easier for Chinese and Korean speakers!!! Kanji is so much easier since it’s basically Chinese. The pronunciation is different but you get the general idea of what the word is if you’re fluent in Chinese!
Sadly can't relate to sleeping with makeup on, but I love your positive attitude! Love from Singapore
i've heard of gogonihon too.
its good to see how much more global the world is becoming.I'd like to go to a school that has people from lots of different countries there.
Thanks for this video! Super informative! ^-^ I desperately wish I could go to language school :( Unfortunately right now, I'm working as a teacher full time on an instructor visa, so I can't enroll in any classes. I do go to tutoring twice a week and study on my own, by I truly feel like having a year of classes to give me "the ropes" as you were saying would make it so much easier to self-study later on. Maybe, if I save up enough money and get some sort of side job, I can switch visas and do language school for a while. We'll see.
I just found this video and that's actually the school I've been considering going to! But I was told the fast course was mostly filled with Chinese students for example, because they're already used to the kanji system in a way, and it might be too hard for someone who's not used to them. Would the "slow" course really be too slow? I personally really want to learn Japanese to get to an advanced level, so if by the end of one year in the slow course, I'm barely reaching intermediate... Do you know by any chance how you'll evolve in just that level?
I have just found this girl and iv already watched 3 videos
I joined the school because of this video, and my teachers are imai sensei and sawada sensei, they are so nice and sweet!!
Hello Mikan! Do you hope to learn further in Japan? :) I mean do you hope to go to Uni after studying in language school? I'm learning Japanese and really excited ;) btw thank you for the video!
Watching add to help the hustle ;)
ILY
Hiiiii everyone! I’m early!
