Have you ever experienced something so embarrassing that you just wanted to dig a hole and bury yourself in it? Well, that was me on Sunday morning when I took a trip to the local Japanese supermarket...
Get behind-the-scenes footage with embarrassing fail interactions here: www.mattvsjapan.com/outtakes
This video was filmed in July 2021, during the short period of time right after most people were first vaccinated where mask mandates were revoked and most people had stopped wearing masks.
10 years studying Japanese. Next, 10 years studying how to talk to women.
アハハはは
Bruh
I thought the main appeal of knowing Japanese is so you don't have to talk to women..
I need an Anki deck "how to talk to women"
Impossible
Can we stage an environment where like 20 white guys fluent in Japanese are planted in a random American store and the same Japanese person just keeps encountering each of them over a 1-hour period
Gold
The content we need and deserve but won’t get
@@sarraceniafell How are you going to find 20 damn near native sounding white guys in one spot 😂
japanese youtuber walks into american store to practice english but every american they encounter speaks fluent japanese.
That would be an utter mind collapse and would requite therapy
That poor guy of the first lady you talked to...
You know afterwards she's gonna be like "See? See? If they can get that good, there's no excuse for you not to!"
Lol
His life is going to be torture from now on..... :-)
rip husband
And the daughter!
From the last person
Imagine you are born and raised in Japan and you move to the US and a white dude walks up to you and compliments your Japanese skill.
You hitted a Japaneses with "nihongo jouzu' lmao.
Seeing people strike up friendly conversations with strangers in the supermarket was truly anxiety inducing for me
We're 3 layers removed from social interaction and it still creates anxiety.
恥ずかしい、死にたい
I legit don't think I could ever do that in my entire life... I already have issues trying to talk to people in my native language, let alone my non-native languages.
Nice to know I'm not the only one.
@@baronvonbeandip 3 layers? Can you explain how haha, maybe I'm just stupid
Hahaha, the opening hook was good. "Did he embarass himself to Japanese speakers?"
No, of course not. He embarassed himself to other TH-camrs lol

i know some people think that making these types of videos are pretentious or something but this really is encouraging and super entertaining so I really hope you do more!
Thanks Mike!!!
8:09 matt with the power pose 😂.
Assert dominance
🤣🤣
😂😂😂that made me laugh too hhhh
Hi Matt, I'm a Mexican and I'm learning Japanese from Mexico. Of course, I'm using the massive immersion method to learn it. Yo have been a real inspiration for me, thanks for that. I really love Japanese culture but is not only for that reason that I'm learning Japanese; there is a test (JLPT, N3) coming up this june, if I happen to pass it, I'll be able to get a very good salary here in Mexico as an interpreter that could literally change my life for good. I'm really grateful to you because of that, because you thaught me the way. This new project that you have, I want to be part of it. THANKS MATT
Love seeing you out on the streets Matt 😊 Happy New Year from Japan!
I felt Matts pain in the end so well hahaha
that's basically me with any interactions I have with strangers ever
Ken used to help me learn Japanese back in like the early-mid 2010s. It's crazy to see him again. Cool.
Hey Matt, idk if you care for this, but I noticed you really warmed up to the camera and seem really energetic especially in this video. Awesome stuff.
Matt is a straight up king. No cap. Peep his stance and posture at 7:59
The only thing missing is a fanny pack and a visor cap!
"I just passed 100k" lmaoo
Is Ken that guy who learned japanese entirely through listening?
Yes!
Does Ken have a channel? I want to hear about his process
What I’ve learned today- Whenever a Japanese person tells you that your Japanese speaking is good, you must always deny it 😂😂😂
Loved the Maid-sama OST in the background.
The 100k part had me feel so embarrassed for you lmaooo. Still a king though.
Wait.. Matt, Tama Hero, and TheeFrenzy all in one spot!? I feel like all of my worlds are colliding right now what the fuck
That is great news!!! You and Ken are both amazing at this! Can't wait to hear the details!
This Ken dude's accent and pitch is nuts. I lived in Japan for several years, and my wife is Japanese, and I am nowhere near that good in terms of accent and pitch. This kind of blows me away. You are great too Matt, but being honest Ken's accent is next level. I would probably think he was Japanese on the phone.
YESSS another video speaking japanese with people, I love this kind of videos
Yesss same here
I loved this type of video - I really like your infectious personality and seeing you step outside your comfort zone Matt! This type of video reminded me of Moses, who passed away recently. He was such a light in the language learning community! I think you should do more videos like this! The part with Tama was funny! I love her sm. Congrats on almost 138K :D
Same here. Let's spread his legacy
Moses was such a legend.
Hey Matt! I just wanted to say that i enjoyed this video very much and i appreciate you and your channel. Thank you so much for all the help and ideas you've given me and thousands of others for our ,,Learning Japanese" journey. Have a great evening!
Im so happy right now. Ive been biting at the bit to see another video of yours. And its my favorite type of videos. Super motivating. God bless!
Yes! The part two we’ve been waiting for haha
love this content from you! These types of videos are always a good motivator to language learners.
Was the Tama part real or scripted? I literally keep going back and forth on if it was or not, Funniest part of the video. You captured nerdy awkwardness in the best way possible. It was all so relatable. I was almost in tears 🤣. Love it.
scripted lol... that much realism could not be acted out
Wow, you're at almost 140k subs, this vid should take you there. Congrats. You know, I'm glad to see you branching out to new mediums of video. It'll probably help promulgate your message to a wider crowd. You should consider adding your website in the description of the video for newcomers.
I've been watching your videos for a long time now Matt, you've inspired so many people (myself included) to get past the dreams and get stuck into the language learning process. Keep the great content coming, you're a legend
That woman flamed her husband so hard for not learning Japanese lmfao
8:05 we'll never know why he said that lmao
love the vid btw!
Ooo! Looking forward to next week! So excited. Keep up the great information, please. ^^
6:06 Can't believe he did that :/ :D
漫才みたい 笑
ボケ方が完全に日本人
finally a new video I ve been waiting for one for a long time
Great to hear from you Matt. I'm using your website to study German right now. Best wishes on New Year's Eve.
I love this video, amazing as always, you are one of my favorites TH-camrs
That was fun to watch. The reaction of the Japanese people remind me of my Japanese friends here in Dublin who say they find it very hard to approach people they see in public who they think are Japanese. Two friends say they met the least Japanese way possible - they started chatting on the train (one saw the other was using Line).
I tuned in to check out Matt vs Japan, and found Matt vs Beaverton. Wonderful video. Thank you.
Youre such an inspiration matt. Everytime I think Japanese hard you remind its possible in time.
Anyone with 10,000 hours can do it
@@Maidaseu if you did 3 hours a day that would work to almost 10 years even. Most likely though by year 5 you would be pretty fluent.
@@lastninjaitachi theres a guy who passed N1 from scratch in 9 months and by year 2 he was speaking almost like a native.
8:30 At least you were _completely_ aware of how that looked. I would've worried a lot more for you had you turned to Ken for a high five. 😂
Eh. More medium. Not too hot not too cold
Thanks for this kind of content Matt !
love it when you upload dude. happy new year!!
Lets get a Matt interviews Ken interview!
Wow, it's that Ken guy from ages ago. Haven't seen or heard from him in a long long time. Nice to see his Japanese is the real deal, I wasn't so sure back on the day. Super impressive!
I love this kinda content from you Matt!
I could watch this type of content all day.
the music in background is "Tiny Little Adiantum" by Shibayan Records
PLEASE MORE OF THESE VIDEOS
Let's go brah finally a new video! 🔥
日本在住経験ほぼなく、ここまで完璧に日本語を習得できるのは凄すぎる！相槌やつなぎまで極めて自然でびっくり！
Matt is such an introvert lol. He's so articulate in his videos, but in real life, feels like a cute toddler hahahaa. I find it cute. Ken is really a good conversationalist.
Wow I was just thinking about how Matt vs Japan hasn't uploaded in a while
Welcome back :)
I really enjoy going to Uwajimaya here, all the staff are super helpful and nice. Fun video!
二人の言葉の使い方や、言い回しが日本人そのもの。
DO MORE OF THESE!! Seriously dude.
Finally a video lol Merry Christmas!! Happy New Year!!!
Omg your baaaaaccckkkkk yaaayyyyyyy We missed you!!! 🎊🎉❤️👏👏👏
Is there any interview about Ken? I'd like to know how he nailed learning Japnenese by listening.
Thank you for showing that last "Embarrassing" Part very wholesome of you!
Great video Matt!!!
Its good to see you back at it!
Love the awkwardness. It makes it unique and entertaining 😀
yeeeees, post more of this type of video please!
Matt: your Japanese is good!
Japanese woman: because I’m Japanese…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️
Matt does really well. I'd like to see him try to speak with my friends in the kansai area. Not only one on one (because obviously you can kind of guide the conversation or the things being talking about will tend to be about you) but also a group of Japanese people. That's where I find it hard sometimes since the topic changes to japan related things and the conversation speeds up not to mention the kansai words and accent.
I'm rather impressed what a huge Japanese Superstore you have there in America! I wish we had something like that in the UK 😢
Glad to see some more videos and spreading the benefits of learning Japanese to others
you live Portland, OR?? I saw ur video with oriental pearl and was super excited!! You're awesome 👍🏽 I live here too!
英語めちゃくちゃ聞き取れると思ったらペラペラの日本語だった
Hey Matt! We met briefly in the VR Chat Japan Hub about a year ago, and I've been slowly trying to learn Japanese since! I don't know much, but I have some basic grammar and kanji under my belt. Not sure what you're working on, and I'm just getting to the stage where immersion is becoming helpful, but looking forward to it! Thanks 😊
頑張って
matt looks so awkward and nervous i love it i cna relate lmaooo
Wow, never knew you lived in Oregon as well. I've been to this Uwajimaya so many times, I used to actually tutor at the Japanese cram school in the back. Shoutout to fellow Oregonian!
i wasnt there but i can feel the anxiety loool damn
Oh hey Uwajimaya! I thought it must be the one in Beaverton since I live near the others in WA and it didn't look familiar lol.
Reminds me of the time I randomly met a Japanese family in Big Bend National Park and asked if they spoke Japanese in Japanese and then I totally froze on my Japanese and continued the convo in English lol
Yay more videos!!
Most readable captions ever! It's a crime that so few use shadow boxes. Nice.
You should definitely do more videos like this.
Awesome video!! I love videos like this!!
Entertaining video for sure. Were you at the Uwajimaya in Beaverton? I only know of the Ramen Ryoma at that store down the street.
Why don't you do these more often? I love these.
The legend is back?
Im looking forward to your content men. Love from Philippines
2人ともすご〜い！びっくり！
‘’日本語じょうず〜❣️’’
これだけしゃべれて、恥ずかしいなんて、意味わかんない！
独学でこれだけ喋れるようになるなんて凄い努力されたんだろうな。尊敬‼️
またこのような日本語アタックやってください。楽しみ！
Tamashi Hiroka??? lmaoooo, I used to watch her channel way back in the day. What are the chances of you running into her here? What a throwback lol.
Does Ken have a TH-cam channel?
The very first Japanese woman got so disappointed her husband didn’t know Japanese like you guys LOL!!!!
finally back!!
The vibes I got from the 会長はメイド様‘s ost dude…
Omg, good luck with Tama Hero HAHA. I enjoyed those reactions from the people btw.
The Maid Sama ost is such a throwback. Nice video
Yay finally a new video!
Wow I understood 90% of the japanese spoken but I think in that situation I don't think I would be able to piece together a single sentence lol
Hey Matt Question for you dude! So I'm in the beginner stage of learning mandarin and I'm using your company refold's method. I just had a question about subvocalization. Should I stop myself from subvocalizing words I don't know early on or should I let them run free? I don't want to create bad habits. thank you very much for your time.
FINALLY SOME JUICY CONTENT FROM THE BOY HIMSELF
He's baaack!!!
That was very nice. I do not know how to explain it, but I had a warm feeling of friendliness.
Awesome video!
I like the reactions to you speaking japanese. I also have been learning some japanese so i know a few words
