When Miku sensei said "Linguistically Japanese is not an expressive language maybe", I felt that slightly? I have been learning Japanese for a while. And interestingly, in Japanese there is no word for "miss" as in "I miss you". One of my Sensei mentioned, Japanese people use "会いたい" instead. (I want to see you, 会う＝to meet + ~たい=want to). Then, it instantly made me remember one of the BTS songs (spring day) where the Japanese version uses "会いたい" (I want to see you) instead of "보고싶다" (miss you in Korean) because there is no definite word for "missing someone". It was so interesting to me because "I miss you" and "I want to see you" have very distinctive meanings and vary based on the context/situation (at least my knowledge in English makes me think that and it's my 2nd language).
If you complain in my country it usually doesn't create a bad environment instead you gain sympathy, help, and people bond over venting their problems together, there is less repressed anger or stress. Of course some people complain too much and get to others' nerves. So maybe it evens out.
In France we don't talk about our personal opinion with teachers too. But i think we are used tobcomplain about everythink with friend or people we meet even about the weather XD. People love asking about why it works like that and not in another ways.
15:46 I'm interested in the difference between けんそん and けんきょ. I looked them up and the English definitions were similar, so I'm guessing there must be some subtle difference in Japanese.
There's alot of similarities between Japan and America in the topics both of you discussed. In the u.s many people are told and tell each other, some variety of these phrases; "no one wants to hear problems" or "keep it to yourself, everyone's got problems" no small talk because " no one wants to hear your life story". People greet each other with "how are you doing" but don't really mean it, and act surprised when they learn so many people in the u.s are lonely, disconnected, and at worse suicidal. The amount of people that just want to be listened to, meaningfully, just once is staggering. Socializing in the u.s definitely isn't the same as whats advertised thats for sure. I think these kinds of topics are part of the human condition that all countries need work on.
this reminds me about years ago. when I was riding on rollercoaster inside disneyland, the indoor one, there were only I and my friend screaming along. no one else scream. 怖かったから、全然気にしなかったけど、今分かってる。。
25:00 i am new subscribers. watching this kinda deep talk of Japanese culture is omoshiroii yo, daisuki desu. There is a words from Paddy Pimblett during his octagon interview. He said "There is a stigma in this world that man can't talk, listen if you are a man and you got weight on your shoulder and you think the only way to solve this problem by killing yourself, please speake to someone, speak to anyone". I always thinking why Nihon de wa jisatsu ga ooii kana, maybe because they didnt talk when have a problem and shy to share kurushii and kanashii to others. I.M.H.O
Miku Sensei! Thank you so much for these lessons! I have a question about your website: I clicked the link called "Library" and it asked me to sign in, but I don't have an account...but I can't find any link to sign up for an account! Do you know how I can see the library link, or sign up for an account on your website? Also, do you still have Anki decks? Thank you again, -Atti
if you hit the "..." to the bottom right of the video (next to SAVE) there will be an "open transcript" option, click it, then copy and paste the transcript into a word document to print out. this works for every youtube video i believe but you want to make sure the closed captions aren't machine translated first.
This was an interesting discussion, and thank you for these very helpful videos. I love how polite and respectful people are in Japan. But, as discussed in this video, the flip side of this quality is that healthy debate might be suppressed, conversations might be empty and meaningless, people who are hurting might have nowhere to turn, and people might simply do as they are told -- by their bosses or by the government -- without thinking critically. I felt a bit sad hearing these topics discussed -- 表現してもいい？ I do wonder if the high suicide rate in Japan and the low suicide rate in most of Latin America is related to this phenomenon of emotional freedom.
i always look forward to the conversations with Japanese subs! though for me it was very distracting having both the English and Japanese subs on screen, it made it much harder for me to ignore the English and try to understand from the Japanese only (i felt like i was constantly cheating ^^;; ). is there an easy way to include English subs but have them selectable?
¡Hola! coincido con la teoría de Miku sobre la influencia de la cultura _Samurai_ en los sentimientos pero en cuanto a no educarlos para expresar la propia opinión lo llamaría “adiestramiento” y creo que ha funcionado como sociedad pero el envejecimiento de la población es el precio o la respuesta de una represión oculta. Para mí, ustedes son los clavos que sobresalieron y sobrevivieron a los martillazos. ミク先生とリョウマの会話はとても面白かった！色んなテーマを出すし、分かりやすいし、単語をたくさん覚えました。それよりも日本人の意見や気持ちの事を聞けたから、私はありがたいです！
みく先生、お元気ですか 質問があります。 みく先生、スペイン語を話す事が出来ますか。 Mi hija 奈緒美ちゃん 日本語を勉強しています。奈緒美ちゃん12才です。ごめんなさい🙏🏻 por mi pobre Japonés, hace 24 años que estudié algo de Japonés durante 2 años y medio, y ahora lo estoy retomando nuevamente por mi mismo. Miku Sensei, usted dá clases privadas on line, skype, WhatsApp or zoom.? … necesito una Maestra para mi hija. Vivimos en Estados Unidos. Espero su respuesta. ありがとうございます
Format is perfect. Thank you. Problem in (America) is that all that loud voicing of "opinions" leads to nothing but noise.
りょうまさんとの動画はいつも面白くて分かりやすいです。
よかったです！
日本人が自分の意見を言わないっていうのはよくわかります！ 「なんとなく、どっちでもいい、なんでもいい」とかは日本人が主張せずに、協調性を保つために、よくする表現ですね！ みくせんせい、あけましておめでとうございます～ ☺
あけましておめでとうございます✨
talking about emotions is super good topic. i really wanted to know Japanese more..

Very good conversation for Japanese language and culture learning! Thank you Miku san
ありがとうみく先生! この動画タイプはいつもいいリスニング練習になる！本当にありがたいです。
よかったです！編集したかいが あります！コメントありがとう！
すっごく興味深いトピックのある動画でした！！
リョウマさんの声が好き。私がスペイン語わからなくても、リョウマさんの曲をよく聞いてます。素敵です。
こんにちは、初めまして。 知りたいです😊
Great speaking session but Ryoma-san needs a decent microphone if he's gonna be a regular guest!
External mic (USB).
If you complain in my country it usually doesn't create a bad environment instead you gain sympathy, help, and people bond over venting their problems together, there is less repressed anger or stress. Of course some people complain too much and get to others' nerves. So maybe it evens out.
リョウマ先生めっちゃタイプ😜
会話は素晴らしいかったです！とても面白かった！ありがとう先生。
Japanese people as a rule are very shy so when you meet someone who’s super outgoing and talkative you really appreciate them I think.
As someone who’s spanish native speaker I’m so proud of our swearing culture. It’s just pure fun
As a portuguese native speaker, I can totally relate to this
In France we don't talk about our personal opinion with teachers too. But i think we are used tobcomplain about everythink with friend or people we meet even about the weather XD. People love asking about why it works like that and not in another ways.
That's good that people ask why it works like that!! I think it's important!
りょうまさんはめっちゃカッコイイですよね！
字幕ありがとう。
本当にそれ
この時代に青春を駆け抜けた私たちは、人類史上最高の時代を生きたと言えるでしょう！
Thnks sensei.. Ryoma San is cute 🥰
15:46 I'm interested in the difference between けんそん and けんきょ. I looked them up and the English definitions were similar, so I'm guessing there must be some subtle difference in Japanese.
ありがとうこれは本当にやくにたちます
よかったです！！！
毎日笑って過ごしてたくさん友達がいても、私が学校を休んだ時に困る人は別に居ないんだよな。
かわいいMiku先生の今回のゲストも本当にかわいいですね :-)
ああ、りょうまさんだ。
今回髪型変わったので覚えなかったんですが、声と話し方を見ると前回見てたりょうまさんだと覚えてました。
先生とりょうまさんのお互いに話してた動画は面白くていつも応援しています。
りょうま 面白いですよね！本当に優しくていい人ですよ！見てくれてありがとう！

US and Japan have some things in common when talk about emotions and relationships🙊

怖かったから、全然気にしなかったけど、今分かってる。。

りょまさん、お帰り🙏😀
Miku先生は、スペイン語で「Hijo de la Ch 💣💥💣」と言った時、すごく楽しかったです。笑わせました。🤣🤣🤣
Will you please teach how to do comparing in Japanese
面白い動画. どうもありがとうございました MIKU SENSEI
I fell in love with Ryoma san. I had a crush.
Ryoma became more かっこいい 😅

Thank you, these videos are great learning resources! Is there a way to get a transcript (that I can print and learn off from)?
if you hit the "..." to the bottom right of the video (next to SAVE) there will be an "open transcript" option, click it, then copy and paste the transcript into a word document to print out. this works for every youtube video i believe but you want to make sure the closed captions aren't machine translated first.
@@gomi1224 Got it, thanks so much!
メガネのりょうまさんかっこいいですね
すごいねみく先生🥰海外に住んだのがきかっけで、海外と日本のいいところに気づいて、もっと気さくで社交的な人になったと思います(I don't know if my words sounds natural 😹but I hope you understand it)
そんな濃い声、かっこいいですね！😊
いい声してますよね！りょうまは実は歌手なんです！

僕はブラジル人のステレオタイプとと思います。いつもshyと言われるし、自分で人と話し始めることもあまりないし、意見を出さなくてただ相手の言う事を聞く癖があります。日本に引っ越したら、何も変わらなくて普通ぐらいになってしまう予感があります。
Miku pls recommend some book for Japanes reading
Make some lyrics about this topic for Reggaeton music. Venga Vamos! 面白い勉強になりましま。
本当に面白いと思います
みく様もっといろいろなどがをつくてください
インド🇮🇳には日本語勉強するのは多いので役に立つと思います
どもありがとうございます。
天気の話😁😜
civilized society vs. not civilized, sadly. / Great video. Thank you

Just look away from the screen?
Yo creo Misa-sensei que Roma-san haría buena pareja contigo porque Roma-san te entiende bien sabe escuchar y le veo muy simpático. Dos omoimasuka.
インド人はよく家屋のことを聞きます。私は知らない人に情報を言わないけど、相手はもう一度聞く
文化が日本とぜんぜん違いますね！面白いです！
There's also the freedom of speech where we can criticize gouvernment openly in tv show
🌱🌻🙏👍
