Typing in Japanese on your form isn’t difficult. But if you want to write Japanese you need to learn Japanese first. So if you want to learn Japanese with me, I can send you some Japanese lessons where I teach you the kind of Japanese that Japanese people actually speak. Click here and subscribe bit.ly/3icChu2
This is English THIS IS ALSO ENGLISH We might see these as the "same" letter but for a foreign learner there really are two sets of characters to learn. This is somewhat analogous to Hiragana and Katakana.
Actually it involves in historical reason,hiragana is used for daily spoken language,katakana is used for reading of foreign language like English and for specific name like companies or people's name ,since Japanese borrowed Chinese characters in tang dynasty, kanji is formed,however,since Chinese has many words which are Same in pronunciation but different in tone,while Japanese doesn't have that kind of tones, they have to indicate the words in kanji to prevent confusion
@@bosco_c6431 there is one more reason and I believe it's more significant. Writing in kanji is shorter, than in kana. In old days writing material (I hope I use right words) was not that cheap. I remember how my native language (Russian) was written in old manuscripts. For instance, instead of Богородица (lit. the Mother of God) in the Bible wrote Б҃ца. And it's just one of the tricks used to save precious space.
@@RanmaruRei yes,as the Japanese borrow kanji, they speak kanji in their language, which the advantage of original kanji , one character has one syllable only has disappeared , in Japanese spoken Japanese ,1 character might have 1 or even 3 syllables for one kanji, if they directly write in hiragana or katakana, the sentence will be so long
I've been finding the Japanese handwriting recognition input method very useful. It's actually really useful for learning how to read and write without an actual teacher, since you can usually tell when you've written so poorly that you've got the wrong character! ありがとう!
I started learning Japanese a few days back and the Google keyboard is really good too, especially for beginners because it has a variation for Japanese where you can actually draw the letter and it's closest match is shown. Typing is slow, but it's great for practice.
Yeah, it also saves a lot of space because it uses less characters which is good for things that have a limit on characters like insta bios, discord messages etc.
It's actually pretty interesting! The Kanji characters got obviously introduced first, when Japan didn't have its own writing system. Since women were not allowed to learn Kanji in the 8th century, they made up their own writing system, Hiragana. Men were allowed to learn Kanji in the 8th century but were not always sure about the pronunciation, that's why they invented Katakana, to write it above the Kanji and therefore know how a specific word gets pronounced. Nowadays, hiragana is used above a kanji to know its pronunciation, while Katakana is used for foreign words :)
I am Japanese and am a young person, but I don't use the typing system. I usually use the Roma Ji Keyboard, it looks like normal English keyboard. Some Japanese use that one, so you don't have to remember the way he explained if you found difficulty. However, that one which he explained is the most common way to type on the phone(many elderly folks can't do this though), if you could do this every Japanese will be surprised!!! Please try just a once(^^♪ sorry if my english was not good
I’ve been learning Japanese and I agree that the romaji keyboard is way easier to use, especially since I’m an English speaker. All you have to do is remember the sound of the word and you can type it. I think it’s best at the beginning but using the other keyboard is probably better once you’re more proficient in Japanese (since you should be learning more about moras and becoming intuitive with sentence structure and kanji). The journey has only begun! 日本語は難しいです (Hopefully I didn’t mess up that sentence 😂)
I am Spanish and just now relearning Japanese. The Spanish keyboard is similar to the English one. Personally, I want to avoid the romaji keyboard even if it allows me to type faster as I want to try practicing with the Japanese characters themselves, so I use the keyboard similar to the video. I think it's a better way if you want to get used to writing in Japanese
Flick input became a lot easier for me once I realised: tApping is all the A/あ sounds, Up is all the U /う sounds, dOwn is all the O/お sounds. Left is I/い and right is e/え. As long as you remember left and right are swapped, you can use the vowels in English directions to remember the keyboard. (Apart from を and ん).
Early Japanese Language Meeting "Alright, we got Hiragana fully understood! Finally, a simple writing system to communicate ideas!" "Hmmmm, with these characters all jumbled together its kinda hard to read" "I got an idea. How about we add spac---" "LET'S ADD AN ADDITIONAL ALPHABET TO DISTINGUISH WORDS!" "Sure, let's go with that" "Yep, the easiest solution, really."
@That One Guy Who Didn't Watch Fate oh ok yeah I like kpop so for a second I was kinda sad when I thought someone else thought that just because someone likes kpop it makes them a Koreabo so thanks for not being like them
@@ray8221-y4r sure :) so 日本人 is nihonjin how you probably know. 日本語 is read nihongo. The kanji 人 (if it stands alone its read hito) is btw the kanji for human and the kanji 語 (go) is the one for language. You can add 語 at the end of any country to say the language and 人 to say the are from there. For example, ドイツ人 (doitsujin) means the German human andドイツ語 (doitsugo) means German as the language. So if I say 僕はドイツ人です (boku ha[wa] doitsujin desu) it means "I am German". Hope I could help you a bit, I´m learning Japanese now since about 1 and a half year. So if you have any questions just ask :p
@@ray8221-y4r I´m glad I could help you. You have a hard time ahead of you, but just keep on doing it. The first months will be okay, but then after half a year, it will get quite difficult. But in the end, it will be worth it haha xD. I'm not any close to be fluent but I´m able to understand the general meaning behind conversations :c I just recommend you learning the Hiragana and Katakana asap. Everything will way better after u managed that. If you are very dedicated you can manage to learn them in a single week (it took for me about 2) just sit down and do it, ik it isn't fun xD I would recommend using a textbook (I used marugoto, they are amazing just go with the rikai edition if u pick them) to structure you learning. Anyway, I wish u the best of luck and success!
I was doing duolingo and I was so proud that I figured out that the keyboard has aeiou sounds on each key. You just have to tap for a and swipe left right down up for eiou
I usually have a hard time following videos to learn Japanese because of my adhd, but this video was soooo helpful and easy to understand! I didn’t have any problems at all learning the things in this video so thank you so much!!
Yuta, if you ever plan to follow up on this video, I suggest discussing how Japanese people type on a keitai flip phone with no touch screens. I was expecting Japanese keyboards would have something like T9 predictive text, or maybe multi-tap but the swiping feature is also interesting. I wonder how predictive text worked back then.
Wow, thank you so much for making this video. I was struggled to tell how difficult to type in Japanese for friends from abroad as a blind. Your explanation will help me a lot! Thank you so much Yuta.
5:50 we can also write in English and the key bored turn it to Japanese letter it's called Japanese-Romaji example you write : Hiragana it will turn to ひらがな .
i’ve been teaching myself this by speaking Japanese with the speech to text feature and it’s helping me understand pitch, the speech to text is very underrated
mannn !!! just apply to voice acting !! i was playing it 2x then i stopped n replayed it at normal speed !!!it was that good !!!n yeah thank you for all your vids man , learning japanese has become easier for me coz of you .
I actually started using the Japanese IME on my Android precisely for practicing my Japanese writing and it works SO good. Within a few weeks I was pretty quick at writing sentences. It's actually easier for me on an Android than a computer for some reason.
This was so fascinating! Thanks, Yuta! :) I do not speak Japanese but I have enjoyed studying the writing system over the last few years. So I can probably at least pronounce a Japanese children's book! My favourite thing about learning languages is knowing I am on par with the toddlers, LOL!
Funny enough, I actually discovered this myself when I installed Japanese input on my smartphone over Christmas vacation. At first I was confused, but then I discovered the swipe system and my mind was blown. Me trying to write こんにちは pretty much looked like you at 4:40. xD
This was really informative! I'm glad you're one of the first people that popped up when I googled this topic. Loved your video about Anya, so was happy to see another video from you.
My Japanese wife uses a handwriting recognition 'keyboard' on her iPhone. I think she can write kanji directly with her finger but she still has to then pick the correct one from a list.
For inputting uncommon kanji, most modern smartphones allow you to draw the full kanji with your finger over the whole screen. You just need to add it to your keyboard in the settings. You do need to understand the basic principles of stroke order for it to work though.
I prefer qwerty keyboard, I'm just so used to that one. Propositions work the same way. Also I have added the hand-writing one. It's actually helpful to learn because: a. You need to actually remember characters / you practice writing it b. If keyboard can understand what you've written it means your kanji are pretty good. And definitely, kanji look good in the anime.
This is how we, japanese learners, type either lol. Kanjis already appear above the keyboard in that little bar however tho, sometimes a bit confusing when you don't know the kanji but you wanna find it by guessing among 4728489347 relevant kanji
@@soseikiharagatatsu7859 there’s about 50,000 kanji in Japanese language but only about 2000 is commonly known to most native speakers. Same as with English there’s so many words out there but we tend to only speak the most commonly known words in a conversation.
@@soseikiharagatatsu7859 Nah man there is more, but it's not the only genuine issue to be engulfed within kanjis during memorizing them. There are multiple pronunciations you are supposed to know, meaning that the kanji on its own might mean nothing to you clause wise 降る(furu) (to verb of falling for rain) 降りる(oriru) (to get off) but "降" that guy means nothing to me when i see it in context
When I first started I was using the romanji keyboard, but I found the 12-key kana one to be better, it is a bit annoying as it doesn't have a dedicated katakana mode so it's sometimes a pain if it doesn't show up in the possible options above it. It does fairly well for Kanji, provided you know which one you need
I personally prefer the romaji keyboard. You just type out japanese with roman letters and it gets converted into hiragana/katakana and it suggests kanji in the same way. Comes more naturally to me as I’m already used to typing on a western keybord quickly ^^
I usually type japanese using QWERTY too.. it is a lot easier for me, because I use to read Latin alphabet. Once, I tried using that sweeping style of writing, it ended with confusion 🤣, too many sweeps. And thanks to the Kanji suggestions system, I recognize a lot kanji combinations with its meaning, yet If I have to rewrite it again I'll be just like an elementary school student. 🤣
I am so used to the wapuro method (alphabet in, japanese out) that even though a few months ago I got myself a japanese phone I am using that imput method there too. The swiping method is very clever but it is just like the hiragana keyboard on a PC - I would have to train too much and that is a hassle, it is bad enough that I have to use QWERTY because in my language we use QWERTZ like most of central Europe.
@@soseikiharagatatsu7859 I want to live in japan too but when you dig more in Japan streets and stuff it’s really dangerous , unsafe and not the same as I thought it was...
@@Fluff2451 japan is like one of the safest county and I really love the culture and how people have manners or politeness that's why I want to live in japan even though the jobs and how you work there is 難しい
As a Vietnamese , i found that Japanese is much harder and complicated to learn when compare to Chinese and Korean. But because we had the same roots, so i think learning Chinese in traditional form as much as we could is much better for communicating. Many scripts and news paper that Japanese write with only Kanji, so it can be a upside for a beginner who came from Confucianism-affected-countries
"which can be different from the type of Japanese textbooks and apps teach you, because they can be unnatural and outdated" Yeah, considering that on Duolingo, you can come across the phrase すみません私はりんごです

Thanks you Sor! I always wondered how the Japanese type such a complicated writing system
He is reaching God tiers of humor
This was so fascinating! Thanks, Yuta! :) I do not speak Japanese but I have enjoyed studying the writing system over the last few years. So I can probably at least pronounce a Japanese children's book! My favourite thing about learning languages is knowing I am on par with the toddlers, LOL!
I love how these videos are both educational and genuinely funny at the same time.
Funny enough, I actually discovered this myself when I installed Japanese input on my smartphone over Christmas vacation. At first I was confused, but then I discovered the swipe system and my mind was blown. Me trying to write こんにちは pretty much looked like you at 4:40. xD
Who else new the Levi scene before it was revealed💀💀💀

I feel so proud knowing what he was going to say next lmao
that moment when he always inserts his signature line " if you want to learn Japanese with me " gets me every single time!
This was really informative! I'm glad you're one of the first people that popped up when I googled this topic. Loved your video about Anya, so was happy to see another video from you.
My Japanese wife uses a handwriting recognition 'keyboard' on her iPhone. I think she can write kanji directly with her finger but she still has to then pick the correct one from a list.
For inputting uncommon kanji, most modern smartphones allow you to draw the full kanji with your finger over the whole screen. You just need to add it to your keyboard in the settings. You do need to understand the basic principles of stroke order for it to work though.
I really like the tile swipe keyboard, even as a Japanese learner, I can type out the Japanese words I know pretty well.
New channel name: That Sarcastic Man Yuta
I prefer qwerty keyboard, I'm just so used to that one. Propositions work the same way. Also I have added the hand-writing one. It's actually helpful to learn because:
a. You need to actually remember characters / you practice writing it
b. If keyboard can understand what you've written it means your kanji are pretty good.
And definitely, kanji look good in the anime.
I appreciate this as someone new to learning Japanese.
This is how we, japanese learners, type either lol. Kanjis already appear above the keyboard in that little bar however tho, sometimes a bit confusing when you don't know the kanji but you wanna find it by guessing among 4728489347 relevant kanji
I thought kanji only has 2000+ kanji
@@soseikiharagatatsu7859 there’s about 50,000 kanji in Japanese language but only about 2000 is commonly known to most native speakers. Same as with English there’s so many words out there but we tend to only speak the most commonly known words in a conversation.
@@mandyajel seriously a 50,000 kanji that just makes it more hard
@@smugtomato5972 sometimes I just wish the china didn't influence the Japanese to do the Chinese characters
@@soseikiharagatatsu7859 Nah man there is more, but it's not the only genuine issue to be engulfed within kanjis during memorizing them. There are multiple pronunciations you are supposed to know, meaning that the kanji on its own might mean nothing to you clause wise 降る(furu) (to verb of falling for rain) 降りる(oriru) (to get off) but "降" that guy means nothing to me when i see it in context
When I first started I was using the romanji keyboard, but I found the 12-key kana one to be better, it is a bit annoying as it doesn't have a dedicated katakana mode so it's sometimes a pain if it doesn't show up in the possible options above it. It does fairly well for Kanji, provided you know which one you need
I personally prefer the romaji keyboard. You just type out japanese with roman letters and it gets converted into hiragana/katakana and it suggests kanji in the same way. Comes more naturally to me as I’m already used to typing on a western keybord quickly ^^
I usually type japanese using QWERTY too.. it is a lot easier for me, because I use to read Latin alphabet. Once, I tried using that sweeping style of writing, it ended with confusion 🤣, too many sweeps.
And thanks to the Kanji suggestions system, I recognize a lot kanji combinations with its meaning, yet If I have to rewrite it again I'll be just like an elementary school student. 🤣
5:48 lmaoo literally the previous vid I just watched was your "How Levi Speaks" one, so this was a nice surprise
I’m so excited to start learning Japanese from you!!
His Levi impression is spot on!
4:17 "And you want to use google translate to translate english into shitty- *LESS THEN PERFECT JAPANESE* " XDXDD
This was the best tool I ever used while learning Japanese, I immediately learned all the hiragana because of this keyboard
I am so used to the wapuro method (alphabet in, japanese out) that even though a few months ago I got myself a japanese phone I am using that imput method there too. The swiping method is very clever but it is just like the hiragana keyboard on a PC - I would have to train too much and that is a hassle, it is bad enough that I have to use QWERTY because in my language we use QWERTZ like most of central Europe.
Exam paper:
Why does Japan have 3 alphabets
Me: Cuz its looks nice in Anime
Idk what happened to the once serious Yuta I saw a few years ago. But I'm liking this new one lmao.
I am so interested in Japanese culture
I really want to lived in japan so badly

@@soseikiharagatatsu7859 I want to live in japan too but when you dig more in Japan streets and stuff it’s really dangerous , unsafe and not the same as I thought it was...
Living in Japan is more tougher for foreigners from what I’ve heard
@@Fluff2451 japan is like one of the safest county and I really love the culture and how people have manners or politeness that's why I want to live in japan even though the jobs and how you work there is 難しい
When the average Japanese people were typing I was like ‘ dafuq is happening, it’s right in front of my eyes but it’s so hard to follow ‘

I actually use Japanese keyboard on iPhone to practice but I had no idea you can swipe to type, I was holding down the buttons only! Thanks a lot!
As an italian, i felt strange when he said ciao ciao
"it's because we can and they look cool in Anime"
Hey, can't say I'm disappointed but the logic works lmao
5:46 is so perfect
people around the world: *press keys to type*
japanese people: *swipes profusely*
As a Vietnamese , i found that Japanese is much harder and complicated to learn when compare to Chinese and Korean. But because we had the same roots, so i think learning Chinese in traditional form as much as we could is much better for communicating. Many scripts and news paper that Japanese write with only Kanji, so it can be a upside for a beginner who came from Confucianism-affected-countries
there are many Japaness Keyboards.
1. The one you explained
2. Hand write thing
and 3. The englisch keyboard where you type a and あ comes out
"which can be different from the type of Japanese textbooks and apps teach you, because they can be unnatural and outdated"
Yeah, considering that on Duolingo, you can come across the phrase すみません私はりんごです
Really?
I laughed at that sentence with my mom when I first came across it.
