I spoke quite a lot when I was in Taiwan, I think I have some bad speaking Habbits but I also had one of the best years of my life and tonnes of friends and memories, don't regret it even a little bit, it was so much fun
This is so wholesome.. sometimes productivity guru's at youtube forget that we are human and have limited motivation, passion, attention span, etc. Well done Yoga!
This video is fantastic! You have risen like a phoenix! Keep going man, you're on to a good thing and you also seem to have renewed your energy reserves. Your community has been so supportive and I have found it very helpful. Thank you so much. :D
This is the best language learning video I’ve watched so far... I’ve been having trouble with my language learning especially with wanting to follow the plot of some shows then getting frustrated because I know so little... great vid hope to see many more from u 🔥
I think something super important about this is that you shouldn't feel discouraged by other people or ads saying stuff like "I became fluent in x months." Most of the time that's nonsense, and even if they're telling the truth, you shouldn't feel inadequate because as long as you keep at it you will reach your goals.
Great video. I've been feeling a huge lack of motivation for the past few weeks, and your words have really resonated with me, and I feel like just by watching this I have gotten my focus back and understand what needs to be done. Thanks
Maybe better to say language learning is simple but not easy. What you had to say about goal setting really helped put it in perspective for me , thank you.
Hey man, thanks for the video. I been struggling with building discipline but I just can't seem to do that. When you said "Demanding far more than what you actually want to do will quite often lead to feel frustrated or to burn out." that right there rang true to me. Also about people not having a framework or a way to tackle goals. I feel like I have been demanding far too much of that I can handle and I have been going back and forth on why I just can't seem to muster willpower to do what "I am supposed to do". I believe I taken what other people have been doing for example to learn a new language and directly trying to do that instead of going on my own pace. From now on, I am going to start building discipline slowly. Anyways, thanks again!
@19:55 I think is so important. My Language ability improved way faster when I got home from China / Japan. But I wouldn't have had the motivation to work at it without those social experiences In the countries themselves.
I really love this type of content. As someone who works in the games industry right now, I can draw parallels with the long process of game making to the equally long process of learning languages; especially when learning a language isn't your primary hobby/ interest or if a person is unable to tackle languages full-time. Thank you for all your amazing tool support so far! (I just found this channel recently) I really look forward to your own SRS system. I'm someone who tried Anki a few times and kept trying to get into it; but after seeing such large numbers of necessary reviews daily, it felt quite daunting after the end of a hard day at work. I'm learning Cantonese, so for me to extract subtitles from movies to use with Anki doesn't quite work as almost everything is written in standard written Chinese, so I decided to drop Anki about 3 months into my language journey. I've been at Cantonese for exactly a year this month; and I study 1+ hours a day, and most weekends 3 hours on Saturday and another 3 on Sunday. I can also appreciate that some people are able to do more, and others can only stomach much less. I've been using songs and some custom script in google docs to hide and unhide the romanization. Doing this, I am able to enjoyably listen to the content (songs) over and over again. This and the FSI drills (along with lots of native-speaker correction) helped me now become completely comfortable with the 9 tones' romanization in Cantonese and I can read these without needing recordings (which was my initial hurdle..) Songs also help with character recognition, especially when different songs often talk about similar subjects (hopes, dreams, sky, emptiness, love, etc..) Anyways, I'm blabbering on now. What I wanted to say was Anki is not the only answer here. There are other ways you can enjoyably engage in the language and experience spaced repetition. That being said, I'm really excited to see what new development you have in store, especially if you create one with much more understandable UI! Cheers!
Forgot to mention that music is not the only things I am immersing with, but I wanted to point it out as being a great way to keep motivation up and take your first steps into immersing :) A lot of culture can also be wrapped up in songs, too.
hey im brazilian, i've been learning japanese for 3 years, let me know when you be here in brazil again, i would love to talk with you about language learning. Glad to find your channel, thank you so much for the content.
Great video! Really like the narrative in this video of showing others that language learning is truly not difficult, just need to follow the right process :)
Really good video! it's good to see some discussion about the difficulties with motivation and consistency with immersion learning, because I know that's where I struggle, the actual methods I think I have down pretty well
Thanks for the useful advice Yoga. It makes me really happy to see how efficiently you're working! Looking forward to your next updates, muito obrigado por tudo mano!

Super cool video combines a lot of past knowledge but spins it in a way that feels fresh. The goal tips were really was nice, lately with my own Immersion I've been putting in time during really late hours. Between school, helping others, etc., does take away from the Immersion but even then I still feel good about those midnight hours even if it's not every single day. Missed out on my anki reps but have been immersing with L2 subs and I am watching shows above my level but I'm understanding something new even subconsciously every time I go back. Anyways great job on the video! :)
"Goals have costs which must be paid" This is why everyone is scared to learn new things these days. We're so used to instant gratification, that a lot of people aren't used to sacrificing for things they want. You'll often see people get disappointed at not being immediately good at new things they try, despite how good they're actually doing in the learning process.
I started doing immersion for the first time 3 months ago with german language and I had no reference at all nor other people who were immersing with german like me...everything was about japanese and chinese but since you are gonna be re'starting your german immersion again, i feel save man! Finally a good reference to german immersion!

4:40 YOOO, i have been doing this all the time out of pure intuition, recreating grammar constructions of the target language in my native language. I didn't know it was a technique! But i might have picked it up a little from langfocus example sentence breakdowns in his language profiles.
Yoga, queria te agradecer por todos esses vídeos incríveis sobre o processo de imersão, achei sua postura e metodologia muito mais realizáveis que outras metodologias de imersão que vejo por aí. Adoraria ver todo esse conteúdo dos seus vídeos escrito em um site ou blog como um walkthrough pra gente usar como referência de leitura ao longo do nosso aprendizado. Você vai voar, cara.
Thanks for the advice. For the past 2 - 3 weeks I've been lacking on my immersion time I set for myself, And I really didn't know what to do. Like I want to achieve what I set out to do but my brain keeps telling me to put it off to later. I am afraid of losing interest since I do it to a lot of stuff and I have already come so far in my learning. I going to try what you said and set no specific goal for myself just to immerse and try to enjoy myself with it. I guess ill figure out what my average is in the next week. Thanks
absolutely. having seen it before in your native tongue is even better, this way you're simply attaching new language to a pre-existing story, rather than figuring out a new story with new language!
Yoga, Excellent video. You clearly have the ability to make better vids than the "other immersion channel", of your former biz partner. You have a great grasp of linguistics. You're only thing, as I think you know, is you're still a bit stiff on camera. If you become more natural on camera, it will benefit you greatly! Nevertheless, as is, your content is still excellent!! You really know your stuff. 👍👍👍. I hope to see you swiftly get the success you deserve😃
I haven't touched my Anki deck or picked up my RTK book since like February 😣😣😣. I have a bunch of anxiety and doubt over whether I study the right things, or if I'm studying correctly, and all that just clouds my mind when I think about studying Japanese again. I'm monstrously in my own way. I just want to be efficient but the second I feel like I'm not I just give up.
I love how if you compare Migaku to other immersion based methods/approaches like AJATT, MIA or even Steve Kaufmanns LingQ it feels more balanced and rounder! AJATT and MIA always felt like drill sergeants that tells you to just blindly do the work and then the results will come and then they will motivate you! LingQ always felt like the kindergarten teacher, kind of like the immersion version of traditional results as in don’t focus on wanting to reach high levels instead have fun and reach the levels you reach! Migaku feels more like the kind encouraging coach, the goal is to reach high levels but we have to work from the level we’re at now both in terms of language ability but also discipline ability!
Are the Anki add-ons going to be updated or is there a possibility to make them run on the newer/recent Anki versions¿ I was hoping for the Editor add-on :)
@@MigakuOfficial Nice, looking forward to it. Would that include the current Anki version 2.1.35¿ (I'm still on 2.1.26 but think about updating) Or would it even be possible to make it work on future Anki version, so you don't have to be concerned about updating Anki and the add-ons not working anymore¿
Yeah, and worse, a lot of language learners become discouraged when they realize they can't understand anything in the language they've been "studying" for so long and then never immerse. It takes a long time for your brain to figure out how to parse a foreign language, and you don't have to understand everything at the very beginning of your immersion.
You took a fairly easy sentence for the German comparison. If you translate the one you did for Japanese, I would say it like this in german "morgen gehen wir zum Japanischklub, möchtest du mitkommen?" Or "morning go we to Japanese club, want you with come?" German has major grammatical differences, and some significant expression differences, but you need to get to a high level grammatically to see that. Of course, I am studying Chinese now, and the way they think is far more bizarre to English speakers than German, but German still does get quite bizarre in some cases.
So I’ve done the first 10 or so chapters of both Genki and Japanese For Everyone, as well as Michel Thomas and Pimsleur. Is there any reason I shouldn’t be able to start immersing/sentence mining and just look up grammar points I don’t understand? I’m bored with these courses.
i am currently in a gap of having no motivation. i dont wanna qzuit but there is still so much i dont understand. xD ahhhh i should do a bit more im kinda slacking off lately ^^ great motivational vid thx
when i learned english sometimes i had phases were i wouldn't touch it for months (i think it is called interleaved learning) . in the end i still became "fluent". at least for the comprehension part. my speaking might be a bit flawed, because i have never really practiced it^^. what i want to say is: just relax and reengage when you have replenished! once you have raised your comprehension above a certain level you can "immerse" in the language everyday without studying it anymore. and your need for those kind of breaks will diminish. If you can keep in contact with the language it would be better of course, but some breaks are not as harmfull as one might think.
@@suras8849 oh man, thank u very much. That was really Motivating to read. I know thia stuff doesn't work over night. I could definetly be better rn but i chose to kinda go more slowly. For me the most problem is vicabular atm i think. I can get my head around not full understanding grammar because i still get the Gist of it but without the Word itself u are kinda lost. I stumble over so many words that discribe the same thing but slightly different and i kknda get scared to have to understand to much. But when i think of it in englisch or my mother tongue i also dont understand everything perfect. I lately figured i dont know very accurate what *corresponding* means but i kidna got a gist of it and never gave it a second thought in englisch but when it came up in Japanese *forgot it allready * i was like .. Why do i not understand man xD Anyway i think the major difficulty is now to over come all the vocabs that hinder me from understanding most of japanese. Like in every language many words for the same thing 利用 or使う for example or 蒸発 and 気化 or whatever. U get what i mean. Anyhow. Thanks for the motivation ^^
@@BackiNator123 I know the struggle xD 僕も日本語を勉強している！漢字がちょっと難しいだね。でも面白い、だから一緒に頑張る！ I am currently dealing with a similar issue. The way i try to handle it is switching back and forth between intensive and extensive reading and it kind of works. Since we probably have learned english that way i think we can do it in japanese as well. (During exentsive reading i like to use furigana) ところで、僕はドイツ人だ。バッキ君もなの？ 英語をenglischのように綴っているので、気になる^^。
Hey guys...I know Yoga had a bad falling out with Matt and I don't hate on either one. What I WANT is to finally stop putting off learning Japanese (was a MIA patreon 'guy' before), and finally do it. Having said that...Will I get the tools I need like lazy Kanji and plug-ins for Anki, and support (better) from Yoga or Matt? I just want opinions and I hope BOTH guys the best on what they want to do in life. I'm not going to take sides. Thx! (I know the monolingual transition Yoga may not agree with, which I don't see how it can't be beneficial, but maybe he disagrees with 'timing')
@@chido5945 Okay, so maybe start with Matt, and when I grow and want the bells and whistles, tech wise, transition to Yoga? I just don't wanna pay two patreons, but maybe it's worth it for the first month.
@@kevinbrown9751 yh start by going through the MIA starter guide(Matt), then get your add-ons Migaku Japanese, Migaku Editor, etc (Yoga). About the patreons, it's up to you man, if you like both Yoga and Matt you can support them at the same time. If you prefer one to the other you can support only that person. It isn't a must to support them.
@@kevinbrown9751 Matt can be summed up as "immerse". Nothing Matt does will save you time. In fact, it will waste your time since it's all in English. The add-ons have saved me dozens of hours easy.
Matt didnt make anything or do any tools, MIA was literally created by Yoga and all his tools have evolved into Migaku and will continue to be used under this brand.
Is it still useful to immerse if you are doing it without "studying", like only watching a show for the enjoyment and sometimes 2-3mins go by without a word being understood? Sometimes I get the feeling I'm immersing the wrong way
From my own experience it is very helpful to do so. This way you can associate your target language with fun and not only with work;) Also the brain will pick up sentence patterns and vocabulary if you watch without studying. Even if you use subtitles in your mother tongue. (Of course you should try to understand, but it is OK if it feels less intense than deliberate study ) It is a bit like the difference between intensive and extensive reading. One should do both! I hope that helps
I can definitely feel the pain and trouble to get through thousands of chinese characters (been tackling japanese for some time now). Well at least, 頑張って to me, eheheheheheh.
I'm not Yoga, but he said before that he speaks portuguese, chinese and japanese (aside english, obviously), and maybe he's learning other languages now, but i'm not sure about that though.
Sorry about the audio quality issues. Will be fixed in future videos.
Lav mic bra :)
@@imbritish My mic is not the issue. I have a decent mic, I am just bad at recording correctly, I will improve it, rest assured.
I have only one complain about audio quality: can you make audio louder? It's better than in video about Matt vs Japan, but still too quiet.
And I'm waiting for the video about reading. Cus it's the topic I'm interested in.
Great video man! Very appreciate it!

Put consistency over efficiency. If you can shift your mindset, you should be good.
Do a little bit everyday. The sooner you pick it up the less time wasted. Nothing wrong with starting again. Just be careful not to burn out.

Did you ever make the video on how you create anki cards using immersion via languages you're highly familiar with?
Are the Anki add-ons going to be updated or is there a possibility to make them run on the newer/recent Anki versions¿ I was hoping for the Editor add-on :)
I will be updating them starting this month. Hopefully they will be done around the end of the month~~.
@@MigakuOfficial Nice, looking forward to it. Would that include the current Anki version 2.1.35¿ (I'm still on 2.1.26 but think about updating) Or would it even be possible to make it work on future Anki version, so you don't have to be concerned about updating Anki and the add-ons not working anymore¿
Are you looking for an editor or do you have one, or are you doing this on your own?
15:38 is what a lot of people don't realize.
Yeah, and worse, a lot of language learners become discouraged when they realize they can't understand anything in the language they've been "studying" for so long and then never immerse. It takes a long time for your brain to figure out how to parse a foreign language, and you don't have to understand everything at the very beginning of your immersion.
@@collinford4221 exactly.
Nice
You took a fairly easy sentence for the German comparison. If you translate the one you did for Japanese, I would say it like this in german "morgen gehen wir zum Japanischklub, möchtest du mitkommen?" Or "morning go we to Japanese club, want you with come?"
German has major grammatical differences, and some significant expression differences, but you need to get to a high level grammatically to see that. Of course, I am studying Chinese now, and the way they think is far more bizarre to English speakers than German, but German still does get quite bizarre in some cases.
Yoga in the future could you make a video about pitch accent?
Great video. Learning Language is not easy.
So I’ve done the first 10 or so chapters of both Genki and Japanese For Everyone, as well as Michel Thomas and Pimsleur. Is there any reason I shouldn’t be able to start immersing/sentence mining and just look up grammar points I don’t understand? I’m bored with these courses.
Yeah you’re probably about ready to immerse and sentence and/or vocabulary mine! Let me know how it goes.
Immerse With Yoga for sure will. Looking forward to seeing your platform grow 👍
Cool video.
i am currently in a gap of having no motivation. i dont wanna qzuit but there is still so much i dont understand. xD ahhhh i should do a bit more im kinda slacking off lately ^^ great motivational vid thx
when i learned english sometimes i had phases were i wouldn't touch it for months (i think it is called interleaved learning) . in the end i still became "fluent". at least for the comprehension part.
my speaking might be a bit flawed, because i have never really practiced it^^.
what i want to say is: just relax and reengage when you have replenished!
once you have raised your comprehension above a certain level you can "immerse" in the language everyday without studying it anymore. and your need for those kind of breaks will diminish.
If you can keep in contact with the language it would be better of course, but some breaks are not as harmfull as one might think.
@@suras8849 oh man, thank u very much. That was really Motivating to read. I know thia stuff doesn't work over night. I could definetly be better rn but i chose to kinda go more slowly. For me the most problem is vicabular atm i think. I can get my head around not full understanding grammar because i still get the Gist of it but without the Word itself u are kinda lost. I stumble over so many words that discribe the same thing but slightly different and i kknda get scared to have to understand to much. But when i think of it in englisch or my mother tongue i also dont understand everything perfect. I lately figured i dont know very accurate what *corresponding* means but i kidna got a gist of it and never gave it a second thought in englisch but when it came up in Japanese *forgot it allready * i was like
.. Why do i not understand man xD
Anyway i think the major difficulty is now to over come all the vocabs that hinder me from understanding most of japanese. Like in every language many words for the same thing 利用 or使う for example or 蒸発 and 気化 or whatever. U get what i mean. Anyhow. Thanks for the motivation ^^
@@BackiNator123 I know the struggle xD
僕も日本語を勉強している！漢字がちょっと難しいだね。でも面白い、だから一緒に頑張る！
I am currently dealing with a similar issue. The way i try to handle it is switching back and forth between intensive and extensive reading and it kind of works. Since we probably have learned english that way i think we can do it in japanese as well. (During exentsive reading i like to use furigana)
ところで、僕はドイツ人だ。バッキ君もなの？ 英語をenglischのように綴っているので、気になる^^。
@@suras8849 はい、 俺もそう思うよ。 きちんと勉強続けてきっと良くになれると思う。 段々少しずつ。 俺も頑張るよ。 諦める訳がない。
@@BackiNator123 その調子。頑張って！僕も頑張る
Hey guys...I know Yoga had a bad falling out with Matt and I don't hate on either one. What I WANT is to finally stop putting off learning Japanese (was a MIA patreon 'guy' before), and finally do it. Having said that...Will I get the tools I need like lazy Kanji and plug-ins for Anki, and support (better) from Yoga or Matt? I just want opinions and I hope BOTH guys the best on what they want to do in life. I'm not going to take sides. Thx! (I know the monolingual transition Yoga may not agree with, which I don't see how it can't be beneficial, but maybe he disagrees with 'timing')
lol you're overthinking it. try getting both of their works, if one seems better then use it. afaik yoga is the tech and add-ons guy
@@chido5945 Okay, so maybe start with Matt, and when I grow and want the bells and whistles, tech wise, transition to Yoga? I just don't wanna pay two patreons, but maybe it's worth it for the first month.
@@kevinbrown9751 yh start by going through the MIA starter guide(Matt), then get your add-ons Migaku Japanese, Migaku Editor, etc (Yoga). About the patreons, it's up to you man, if you like both Yoga and Matt you can support them at the same time. If you prefer one to the other you can support only that person. It isn't a must to support them.
@@kevinbrown9751 Matt can be summed up as "immerse". Nothing Matt does will save you time. In fact, it will waste your time since it's all in English. The add-ons have saved me dozens of hours easy.
Matt didnt make anything or do any tools, MIA was literally created by Yoga and all his tools have evolved into Migaku and will continue to be used under this brand.
Is it still useful to immerse if you are doing it without "studying", like only watching a show for the enjoyment and sometimes 2-3mins go by without a word being understood?
Sometimes I get the feeling I'm immersing the wrong way
I am going to make a video about this.
From my own experience it is very helpful to do so. This way you can associate your target language with fun and not only with work;)
Also the brain will pick up sentence patterns and vocabulary if you watch without studying. Even if you use subtitles in your mother tongue. (Of course you should try to understand, but it is OK if it feels less intense than deliberate study )
It is a bit like the difference between intensive and extensive reading. One should do both!
I hope that helps
The video is very nice, but please fix the audio. Really glad I pay you money :D
The audio will be fixed in future videos.
@@MigakuOfficial Glad to hear that, keep it up!
My girlfriend has a Japanese tamagotchi so I encouraged her to learn Japanese. Within two days she learned most of Hiragana and a bunch of words
I can definitely feel the pain and trouble to get through thousands of chinese characters (been tackling japanese for some time now). Well at least, 頑張って to me, eheheheheheh.
i try to find things to study for free but if you drop an SRS program i'd be willing to sell my kidney for that
I noticed that you chose Adidas among Puma and Adidas. Lol do a great job like Adidas😄👍👍
Looking forwad to it
yoga, how many languages do you know?
I'm not Yoga, but he said before that he speaks portuguese, chinese and japanese (aside english, obviously), and maybe he's learning other languages now, but i'm not sure about that though.
