After three years of learning Japanese, I am finally on the level that I am as skilled as a 4 year old child!
🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳
I hope to one day say the same 😅
What a genius, 1 year sooner than expected
CHildren learn their primary language like any child in any culture- from their person speaking it. They mimic the sounds they hear. So for us to do the same, we must listen not same sounds over and over. And words. as well.
Then my Japanese is probably that of a 5 month old 😂
It doesn't matter what language you're learning, trying to understand a child is one of the most difficult tests lol
エルテ番長san, I totally agree with you😅
Yet, at some times, I do also find, that: it can be easier, as well.
Sometimes I, personally, find them easier to understand; &, there are also, sometimes, I find it harder to understand.
I should note that, when children are from another culture; &, are speaking another language; and, I'm encountering them, in person, without the benefit of subcaptions on a screen, translating the meaning of their words; &, ->if, their culture is so foreign to me, or, their personal actions seem so stramge to me, that: I do not understand their behaviors; &, if. I do not have any context at all to understand what is going on, then, it is a hard task for me to interpret what they're saying. This would also be compiunded if the child had some disability; or, was doing something massively illogical to me; or, when the kids are simply far too young. These conditions are usually not the case, so, most of the time, I don't have much trouble understanding when kids speak.
One example is if children are speaking; and/or, are operating in their motions; &, choices; &, expressions; &, goings on; &, about, in: extremely rapid, disorganized, disconnected, randomized, chaotic, discombobulated, wily-nily, mix-up/shook-up ways.
Once again, thiugh, since this is usually not the case, of what I encounter; &, since I try to avoid running into such families; &, their kids; I do -->>Not often, struggle, with trying to understand children, in any language, in general; overall.
P.S.: I shoukd add one big point though, is: that when I can think like the child is thinking, which is quite often the case; &, more and more so, when I am feeling healthier; &, I have more life experience usable as valuable interpretive regerence material; then, my tasks are made all that much easier. If I could just could not fathom what a kid was up to, then, commensurately, my chores of deciphering what they were: "on about"; would be immensely harder. In the case of Japanese kids, this does ->not seem to occur as a struggle for me, that frequently. Quite often; &, fairly quickly, I can figure out, what they're doing; and/or, what they mean. I have enough background knowledge; study; context; familiarity; predictabity; repeatability; reliability; conventionality; conformity; usual-ness; ordinary-ness; &, simpleness; that it does appear, not all that difficult for me to integrate into my own frameworks of comprehending the world around me; even, as through their "eyes".
One exception to that, thiugh, is: that Japanese kids, can be quite natural; &, relaxed, when at home; &, around family. But, when around: "outsiders"; their mannerisms radically alter; &, their actions, can become, even, for me; much harder to interpret.
Absolutely. I can't even understand children speaking my own language. 😂
I have a sinking feeling I will hear that 2nd part a lot when I go to Japan and try to talk to someone :(
@@MrBoDiggety haha worry not! Keep up the learning and be brave!
This is actually incredibly helpful. Children have odd verbal inflections and frequent hickups in their grammar that is often very difficult to understand. No textbook can really help you prepare for that
It forces you to pay extra attention to "decode" what they mean.
As a teacher in Japan, this is all I listen to all day everyday 😂 so much so that my own Japanese has become childish
Aw. She seems to be a very well-behaved, sweet child. Thank you for the practice.
And she actually is. Thank you, Gabrielle-san!😄
Common in Japan.
Placing the subtitles on top is so helpful. Thanks for making these listening Practices, it is comprehensible input and helps a lot to study.
When you realize a 4 year old can speak fluent Japanese than the ones who passed JLPT N1.
i mean, that's a given bro, just picture what a 4 year old in your native language is able to say and understand
😂😂😂👍
😂😂
well yeah cuz she’s Japanese and lives there
Well no duh, captain obvious XD.
Thanks for the practice! Also thanks for letting us meet Mikochan! She is precious! ❤ I love your family, sensei!
Glad to hear that! Thank you, Raptor Lewis-san!😄
This video came out 10 years late! It would've helped me communicate with my cousin's daughter who was about 3-4 when I spent time with her. Although, now there are other kiddos in the family about this age so it'll still help! And Miko-chan seems such a sweet kid!
😆😂
I hope it'll still help.
I was thinking that I’m not good at the Japanese language, but understanding some things in this video renewed my confidence. I will go back to studying. Thank you.
OMG she's the cutest thing, and this was a great lesson, thanks a lot for the video!
My pleasure, thank you, syzygy-san! 😊
Your pronunciation is so nice and clear and the pace is just right. This is extremely helpful. Thank you for doing this. I'm learning a lot of the colloquial sayings from you like ちゃった。
This video is great for listening and learning. Thank you so much. That child is adorable by the way lol I look forward to your next video. You make it easy to follow and your subtitles are awesome.
This was so adorable! Thank you for such a unique video, I loved your narration and your family dynamic
I'm glad to hear that. Thank you!😊
It's frustrating how hard japanese is yet i want to speak it so bad
If you have more intention and motivation than uNdERstAndIng ANimE, then it's not hard to learn Japanese.
@@amber1384 It is hard. I am learning for almost a year now and I just can speak about my family members, jobs, colors, count to 100, tell the time and ask for directions . nothing more. In one year? I learned english and french way faster and could understand it. Reading and writing Japanese is one thing, but speaking and understanding it is really hard tbh
My tip is to try to study Chinese first. I used to think Japanese was hard, until I became a Chinese language student, and then I began picking up Japanese like crazy because it suddenly seemed pretty simple 😂 Good luck with your studies!
@@finanightmare1993 My suggestion would be to look into the foreign language teaching systems the US Armed Forces use. My friend spoke no Japanese and knew nothing about the culture before he went to Japan for the US Marines, 4 months later he was speaking fluently. Well enough that he came back with a wife and family and they speak Japanese at home.
Thanks for the tip, haha! :D@@ilavalolipop
I taught english in Tokyo, the kids always knew instinctively how to speak Japanese to me so i could understand ❤
That is another -->>VERY good point: the Japanese kids themselves, pften knew, how to alter their own speech to me, such that, it was made easier, for me, as a foreigner, to better understand them!!!!!. They were truly remarkable experiences, with truly remarkable young people.
Thank you for the video! I'm studying for N3 and it was great listening practice
このような楽しい日常系の同額をありがとうございました。みこちゃんはとても賢い女の子だと思います。いつか私もみこちゃんと同じように日本語を話せるようになりたいです。
オンラインコースについて素晴らしい言及をしていただいてとてもうれしくと思います。もう会員になっているんですけど、また入会したくなります！
リッチさん、いつもサポートをありがとうございます！
感謝してもしきれません。
リッチさんの日本語は前と比べたら明らかに上達しているので、この調子でがんばってください！
日本に来るまでに、さらにもっと上達していることと思います。
オンラインコースもきちんとやってくれてありがとうございます！
コースでとりあげた「病院」と「美容院」のちがい、前に聞かせていただいたときにバッチリ言い分けられていて、うれしかったです😁🙌🙌✨
Hi
Hope you absolutely doing well,
I am in Japan, and wanna learn Nihongo, how can I get easily
Thanks for supporting her, I can't afford money for stuff like that unfortunately. But I'm happy people helps this channel, it is like in my top 5 japanese channels to study.
@@Rebeler789 you are very lucky to be there for study japanesegood luck and i hope you will know japanese
This is a really interesting and entertaining approach to teaching Japanese. Great idea, thank you!
小さい子の おしゃべりは 面白くて最高です。ありがとうございます。
Thanks for the easy Japanese. I understood most of what you were saying. I've been studying for about 6 months.
Reminds me of some family friends of mine. I often hear them speaking and it's so adorable. They talk circles around me since my speaking ability isn't the best and they haven't figured out to dumb down slightly for me like adults do.
i still cant belive that i understand all what she said, im so exited to continue lerning japonese, ありがとうございます！
Adorable child. Bright and cheerful.
Thank you! 😊
I'm so glad I learned something new! "neko no te" is the "bear's claw" of Japan. Amazing! So happy to learn something amazing. Love all your content, glad I found you today while researching words from anime!
Just found this channel. Amazing, thank you!
I watch your videos regularly to learn Japanese. Thank you so much for giving us another way to learn Japanese by adding Bengali subtitles to videos. Will wait for the next video. From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Thank you!!
New videos will have Bengali subtitles, I promise 😊
みこちゃん4歳だって日本語を流暢に話せちゃってかな、可愛いすぎて❤️
Miko-chan speaks so well for a 4 year old. Thank you, and hello from Australia.
Thank you Scott-san, for watching and leaving a comment from Australia😄✨
Thank you! This was very helpful (especially having kanji with furigana), and very cute, too.
みこちゃんは可愛すぎる！！このビデオを見ただけで、心が温かくなりました。ご家族は素敵です！
ルーシーさん、ありがとうございます！😁🙌
Waow, great video, awesome I'm sure I'll learn natural Japanese with this format 😊
Such a nise Miko-chan! ❤ And biggest thanks for your channel! I love your video, so interesting, so helpful to me!
Glad to hear that. Thank you😄
*nice;...
ちゃんとした発音と、サブタイトルの振り仮名によって日本語の勉強を頑張る外国人に分かりやすくなった、素晴らしいビデオです。
ありがとうございます。振り仮名は大変ですが、これからもつけますね😊
みこちゃんは可愛いんですね😃 4歳の子はたくさんのことを知っています。すごいです👍小さい子のおしゃべりを聞くのが好きです! 私もみこちゃんのおかげて 、とてもいい勉強になりました。ありがとうございます🥰
ふみ先生、
今日も新しい単語と口語表現を学びました。いつも動画を作ってくれて、本当にありがとうございます🙇🏻♂️次の動画を楽しみにしています🤗
スティーブンさん、ありがとうございます！ ４歳の子は確かに、たくさんのことを知っているし、たくさんの言葉も知っていますよね。
今回編集していて、みこちゃんのおもしろい発言がたくさん発見して（話している時は気づいてなかったんです）、とても楽しかったです。
次の動画も楽しみにしていてください😄
this is the right way... if you wanna learn a language do it like you learn your first lenguage as a child..a lot of hearing and learning from other and a lot of try, missmatches and try again till you are right.. nice to learn with childs for beginners so you understand it the easy way and have a jump off for the right way
I thought my speaking level was equivalent to a 6yo native kid, but it seems I don't even reach a 4yo level 🤣🤣🤣
thank you so much for this video, I Just found your channel, it was very helpful and I could learn a lot with this video. arigatou gozaimasu
She's adorable!!
This was so much fun! I could understand most of it! I learned japanese more than ten years ago I was Advanced level but I still to this day think in Japanese and listen to Japanese music and watch movies, anime to keep it alive but I have forgotten most of my Kanji for sure and vocabulary. This video was awesome and will be watching more!! Thank you for this channel!!
Thank you, Kathy-san😊
Any tips for someone who just started learning Japanese?
That's way too cute for me to actually focus 😍
I know!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally 私の日本語の先生にも4歳の娘がいます。とてもかわいいです!
It's been about 5 months since I started learning japanese and I finally can listen to this without the english subtitles, feels awesome. Your videos are a huge help, thanks you very much :)
This is a very useful video, been trying to translate everything said, because I'm learning 日本語！ ありがとうございます
ありがとうございます！ 日本語、がんばってください😊
This video is really helpful to us trying to learn how to speak Japanese not in a text book type of way hehe Hoping to watch more vlogs like this
Thank you 😊
この動画はいつも役に立ちます、ふみ先生、ありがとうございました 🇯🇵
From Italy 🇮🇹
侍キッドさん from Italy, ありがとうございます！ 役に立つといってもらえてよかったです😄
I think my problem lies in listening. Often times, when someone says something I can't understand what he's saying, but when his words are written I can understand him.
でもみこちゃんが冷たいって言った時に理解できました。これは嬉しいです
That was a great lesson. Thx 😍😍
My pleasure, Luke-san!😊
このチャネルは本当に有益だよ、ありがとうございます！
嬉しいです、ありがとうございます😊
Hi! ive been learning japanese for a couple of months and what I learned today was, I cannot fully understand a 4y/o haha. Better get back to studying! I love your videos!
This was very helpful, thank you 😊
Thank you, Maki-san!😄
She’s absolutely adorable
Thank you 😊😊
The fruit cutting part was so endearing
This little girl speaks Japanese more fluently than my cousin sister who has been taking Japanese language classes for 6 years
Thank you so much for the interesting video 😊
Amazing and beautiful, thanks for sharing this
love the part about romaji messing up everyone's pronunciation. So true but still most of the teachers and schools argue with that and students still want to use romaji (lazy students of course). Great video and great channel!
Я просто обожаю Японский язык! Я недавно начала его изучать. Начала учить Хирагану. Желаю вам удачи:)
先生、この動画にありがとうございました。いっぱい勉強できました。
よかったです！
コメントありがとうございました😊
ありがとうございます❤❤❤❤❤
みこちゃんは明るくて、面白くて、おしゃべり屋で、素晴らしい子ですね！
ですね！ 実は、話している時は、みこちゃんがこんなにおもしろいことをいろいろ言っていたことにちゃんと気づいていませんでした。しっかり聞いたらすごくおもしろくて、編集しながら笑っていました。コメント、ありがとうございました、Haobinさん😊
Super fun video 😊
This little girl is helping me with my N5 ❤
She sounds like what my brain is doing when i'm 'thinking' in Japanese . . . my mother was a Japanese navy wife, and i started speaking Japanese first. But she was told that i must stop speaking Japanese when i started kindergarten because if i continued to speak Japanese in the home i'd never learn English (that was the belief then). So in my head, i'm stuck at that age. i've taken many classes starting in community college, with decades of pauses, then at university level. i haven't had my mom to practise with since she died right after i graduated high school, and i never went to the extra Japanese school we had here (and never asked, as i never wanted my parents to waste money on me; i didn't realise that they probably had the money!) that other half-Japanese kids i knew went to; i assumed if we could've afforded it i would've went.
In formal Japanese class i have to work hard to remember to use -ます and -です forms because everything i remember is automatically 'informal'. i know a lot more grammar and structures now (obviously) and if i know the vocabulary, i can assemble the sentences pretty easily. It's remembering vocabulary i have trouble with. Apparently some of the words i use automatically (i don't think in words, but in pictures, so when i speak any language i have to translate from images to words - sometimes it's english, sometimes it's japanese, sometimes it's ASL. On bad migraine or autistic overload days my verbal language locks up and ends up often japanese when i get it loose!) are dated or dialect (i use きゅう, しっさ, and し automatically when counting, and おむすび - i don't know if it matters but my mom was from Kyūshū) and i get funny looks from teachers.
i keep wondering why UCSD doesn't consider Japanese to be a heritage language, considering what a Navy town San Diego is. i am going to check into your classes!
Hi, thank you for sharing your story. You are such a nice person that you put your desire aside, worrying your parents’ financial situation.
But I’m happy that you can start learning Japanese again now. I hope my videos and course will help you. If you have any questions about my course, please feel free to ask 😊
She speks verry clear japanese. Good pronounciation and good too understand.
Thank you, Frau-san😊
Miko-chan is so adorable and well behaved! 😊
Craving fruit now!! A wonderful video even though I am WAAAAAAAY below her level.
I'm just happy I could recognize anything said here. This is way way beyond my level of Japanese, but I absolutely want to come back to this later.
I heard "pineapple" and giggled to myself! (yes it was pretty much in English). This video was way above my level too, I just started 4 months ago and am still struggling with some Hiragana and a good portion of Katakana, amazingly Kanji is coming easy for me thus far. 😂
She's incredibly smart. 😄😄
Thank you 😊😊
It's amazing how a human being learns her native language, and we all did it. Japanese is just noise to me, and this baby seems to have it figured out enough to live in it with no problem.
みこちゃんが可愛いですね。日本語を教えてくれてありがとうございます。
これはすごく素敵
Minasan and daughters ! Arigato gozaimaschita ! Absolutely brilliant video ! I think it helped me also !
Thank you!!😊
I haven't seen rabbit-ear apples in Australia. (But I'm not a parent.) The expression "cat's paw" for a hand with curved fingers is very cute! I felt so hungry looking at all that healthy fruit, but now I'm going to have a sausage roll for my evening meal! Fumi-sensei, arigatou gozaimashita. I will study the Japanese later! :)
Oh, so if you have a kid, you might see one🤔
It’s the same in Japan!
A sausage seems tasty too😊
Duolingoで日本語を勉強しています。ひらがなとカタカナは読むことができますが、聞き取りは少し難しいです。あなたのチャンネル、ありがとうございます！楽しくて、勉強になりました。ベラルーシよりご挨拶申し上げます。
Sensei, i like your channel. Keep going.😊

かわいすぎる！😊 But, in Japan fruits are sooo expensive! Here in my country apples cost about 0.5 euro a kilo, excellent grapes and peaches at the top of season about 1-2 euro.
Dmitry san, ありがとうございます！
How nice!
Fruits are expensive, so I usually don’t buy them🥲
@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally ところでフミさん、ビデオの最後に出てくる青年に興味があったんです。 愛想笑いを浮かべながら、みこちゃんを見つめる！ 彼女の兄ですか？
ミコちゃんはとても可愛いです！
ありがとうございましたみこちゃんせんせい！
英語学習の経験ですが、自然にどこにどんな言葉を入れるかだんだんわかるようになるという言語獲得に似たような過程もあれば、どうしても調べたりしないとわからない文法や語彙がありました。座学も実体験もどっちも大切だと思います。
おっしゃる通りだと思います😊
ありがとう
I attempted basic lessons from Busuu, earlier this year, and now am at a local university, attempting elementary Japanese... And my goodness, inflection is definitely my weakest point! 😅
Loved watching this, though, and attempting to catch what I could remember from my own lessons. 🥰 We recently got to ありました and じゃなかったでした, though my brain is still attempting to pronounce the latter correctly... 😅
Anyways...
ありがとうございました! Your family is adorable! 💖
I hope I might be able to some day hold a proper conversation in Japanese, since I've been wanting to visit the wisteria gardens for many years. 🥰
I’m sure you’ll be able to hold a conversation long enough.
I wish all the best for your Japanese learning journey 😊😊
Wow!
素敵な家族
Malenaさん、ありがとうございます！😊

Thank you so much I'm learning even if I'm not trying. Arigatou Sensei 💘🌸
Mgrzx3-san, that's wonderful!!! That's best way to learn😄
Terimakasih ❤
Lovely video. I'm much better at listening than I thought.
Good 😊😁
I get like that when I eat most fruits. My tongue and roof of my mouth get itchy. I love Kiwi and apples but they give me that allergic feeling. but if they're cooked it's okay.
Kiwi gives me the same feeling too. I'm sorry to hear that you're allergic to most fruits.
@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally kiwi does that to me too! i thought it was just me..
People thought I was mental when I went to Japan. They said I spoke like a 4yr old.
As an inconsistent, self studying Japanese learner....id be so happy if i can speak in this 4yr olds level 😂😂😂
My heart ❤️ 😭
朝夕すこし肌寒くなってきたので 健康に気をつけて無理しないで がんばってほしいです。

オランダでもリンゴを好きな形に切ればいいのに！そうすればもっと多くの人がリンゴを食べると確信しています。私は日本語の学習が初めてなので、間違っていたらごめんなさい。あなたのビデオのコンセプトが気に入っています。日本語の学習に役立ちます。ありがとう 😄
Such a cute girl ❤️
I found it interesting that when you are at the self checkout, the machine is actually reading out the price of the scanned item out loud. I have never seen that before (in Czechia), I am not sure why. But maybe it's for the best, it feels like it would get very noisy when multiple people are at the checkout area at once.
We have that in America (at least where I shop), it tells you the price out loud.
