This was *super* interesting! It's so great to see you analysing your old videos and making commentary because you can actually explain what you were thinking at the time and the advice you would give yourself to address the things you did wrong *and* mention the things you think you were doing right. Really great video. Thanks for sharing! :D
This really motivates me to study Japanese more and more! I'm using Japanese basically everyday here, but I progress really slowly so maybe I gotta get a book and study by myself a little, especially grammar... Or maybe I'm just too impatient with myself.. Anyway thank you for the video 💕 Keep it up!! And greetings from beautiful Shizuoka 🇯🇵😁💕
SUBTITLES DONE! PHEW. お待たせしました、英語と日本語字幕を付けました～～ぁ！ Here's part 1 where we watched an old presentation I did at Keio University: th-cam.com/video/mgcX7ZdBebE/w-d-xo.html
I have to start audio diaries. I’ve only just started learning a month ago but I need to start cracking down and improving. I’ve struggled with a few words not necessarily pronouncing but when to use what and conjugations. I need to start pushing myself more.
I really respect your almost perfectionist like attitude when it comes to Japanese. You're always trying to improve and that's something very admirable
Loved it! I like how you break down your past mistakes/discomforts and think about how you could have addressed them. Very helpful for a beginner! I'm definitely waiting on that lists of podcasts / books / news recommendations. Even in the wiiiiide world of TH-cam, it's not that easy to find exactly what you need: just like your channel a few months ago, I only discover BilingualChika this week totally at random. Imagine! Great video!
I've been watching you since the very beginning. I have lived in Tokyo for two years now.. Still learning Japanese. Back then you inspired me a lot then and you still do now. Representations matters!! Keep doing what you're doing!! ♥️
tbh, back when i was around 9 or 10 and i was learning chinese, i found a channel on TWC that talked about news, travel, business, etc. Thinking back on it, it was insane how fluent i was in talking about the chinese stock market, but the only basic conversational phrase i knew by heart was "women bu yao kafei". Maybe its because i was younger that things like that worked for me, just listening and sounding out what i heard and checking it later, but i think im in that weird gray spot where i need to immerse myself like that in japanese to push myself out of this weird beginner phase? like for example, I've read a lot of medical blogs so i can say things like 関節炎、手根管症候群、連鎖球菌性咽頭炎 and so on, but i do as you mentioned in the first part and add english words or phrases when i dont know something aka the false bilingual thing. slowly, im starting to be able to use words to describe what im talking about, like a while ago today i was talking to myself about my carmex, and i said "口クリーム" instead of lip balm in english or with the proper japanese words. i honestly dont know the point of this comment anymore. i guess i just wanted to comment, smh.
I might take your advice. I've started learning Japanese at university now and am in an intermediate class, but I feel like the vocab lists that we are given are counter productive as we are learning words but not how to use them in sentences. I also feel like my particle usage is not the best and I often get confused between which i should be using.
That's exactly how I felt when I started trying to learn on my own outside of class. No curriculum will be perfect for EVERY student so it's really exciting to mkke the learning your own.
I felt the same. Having to use genki for class i felt like there were so much vocab but I had no clue how to use some of them that i just avoided new vocab at all cost but when i solo studied i still had that problem because i would have to struggle to look for resourses to teach me.
this is such a wonderful idea. thank you so much for posting. i just started learning japanese, and im having trouble getting used to speaking it and using the vocab i learn on my own time outside of class. i'm going to start doing this myself and hopefully i can look back on my audio like you are and be impressed with my progress.
Of the couple foreigners who are living in Japan that I've come across recently on youtube, I love to check in on your channel and continue to see that you take your Japanese studies so seriously! It's very motivating and inspiring. Of course this is in no way to shame those other youtubers for uploading more vlogs/storytimes/etc. instead of language-content, they're free to focus their own channels on what they desire, but I respect that you return to your past mistakes and are comfortable enough with us to critique yourself. It helps!
+1 For sure people would enjoy and appreciate some kind of video lesson series like at 10:16. I'm sure you are hella busy. Thanks your sharing your old mistakes. We can all learn a lot :)
@@kemushichan It's okay. The way you explained and advise is much needed. We need some tough love! (^_-) However, having 3 channels might difficult to juggle so... I guess there's that huh? ;D Still, I'd be down to have you teach on here!
oh, no, you won't... it's just sharing your 10 years of learning experience because it's hard to watch you correcting mistakes that only you understand, I mean it's fun and interesting but I'd have to come back here in 10 years to be able to fully get what you mean
Hello loretta I just want to say that I love your videos while I was learning Japanese I would always watch them And it inspired me and now here I am fluent at Japanese I would watch your videos and try to make notes from your videos your videos were very help ful thank you
This video makes me realize two other things too: 1. I am really glad I am paying close attention to collocation in Korean and 2. I should try to figure out which "crutch" words I can use to help me string together my thoughts. I'm just now starting to be able to speak but I sound totally disjointed most of the time.
I do like this format of you reviewing old video diaries, because I feel like there may be a few things you forgot you were doing wrong, or didn't know you were doing wrong, at the time that could be really beneficial for others. You are so natural at the language, you may have forgotten the little things you used to do as you were learning that you grew out of. We, as viewers and Japanese learners, can hear you explain these things so they can work through them if we are having similar struggles. =) thanks for doing videos like this and dealing with cringe so we can learn! lol
Wow! Thank you for this video! I've been studying Japanese for 9 years now. I should be on an advance level by now but I don't really have a lot of opportunities to use it. I was looking for some good TH-cam content regarding Japanese language, but most of the videos are for beginners and intermediate speakers and nothing for advanced speakers! Your videos are simply perfect! They give me so many study ideas and are so inspiring!
Ahhh, this was so interesting to watch! Recording audios of myself speaking to keep track of my progress is such a great idea. Thank you ☺ Looking forward to the next videos!
When you discuss your fear of wa and ga and the effect it had on your sentence construction, specifically where clausal clarity is concerned... I totally get this!! I'm studying Korean, but I have a similar fear of those subject/predicate particles in Korean. Ahhhhh!!! lol I think I will tackle Japanese when I have a firmer grasp on Korean. Their similarities seem to be in my favor.
I love your videos! Your tips have helped me so much! I'm trying to self teach but not get overwhelmed or scared off but videos like yours make me want to keep going😍 Thank you!
I thought this video was incredibly helpful! I've been studying Japanese for 2 years and I haven't recorded myself talking at all. I have had teachers record me, but I haven't listened to any of them. I got a lot of great ideas here!! I do a lot of listening to Japanese, but not necessarily breaking down the sentences and building them back up.
Since you talked about podcasts: I started using one called ひいきびいき to practice for N2 listening, and ended up following it for a while (although it ended last year). The two speakers kind of ramble on about a different topic every time, and I found it pretty useful for building up vocabulary. I recommend it to anyone who has free time to spare during commute :)
When I first heard you on the Tofugu podcast, you said that one of your learning methods was audio diaries, and I was in such awe. "She's so self-assured that she doesn't mind listening to herself. There's no way in heck that I could do what she does. I guess confidence comes naturally for some folks." But after today's video, it seems like you don't breeze through it without any self-consciousness. That gives me a little hope that I might actually be able to try it. How did you get over any initial self-consciousness to actually start doing it? How do you keep powering through that feeling while you're actually doing it?
I should probably do audio diaries too haha, they seem fun to do! I do the same thing, except instead of audio, I write blogs in Japanese (casual language) and tweet in Japanese. I think audio diaries could really help with my actual Japanese speech too, so thank you for showing this concept :3
I make the exact same expression when listening to my own recordings! This video was super helpful, since you pointed out what seems to be common mistakes when learning Japanese (at least common mistakes for me).
Hmm.. I'm going to use this Audio Diary concept to help better my Spanish. Thanks Loretta! For putting yourself out there like this lol I know it's not easy to do but it is thoroughly appreciated by those of us who are trying to learn another language.
Достопримечательность was one of the most difficult words in Russian))) by the way, dastaprimechatel'nast' means attraction. Great video, I never miss any of them)
Thanks so much for the advice to look up Japanese youtubers. I've been struggling to get into anime, but I'm really enjoying watching youtubers like PDRさん!
I might actually start some audio diaries. That's a great idea! When I was in Japan I was okay... with understanding and replying. But I could be way better! I have such a long way to go! Very inspirational!
Your dreams were really big at that time. It’s crazy to hear how well your audio diary shows your improvement from the presentation. I think what’s interesting is that your mistakes in the audio diary were from just not absorbing native Japanese. And that’s a big thing everyone needs to know. You can clearly see it now. For me I’m inspired to do audio diaries too. Instead of saying maaaa or ettooo it really matters that you take time to just talk regularly. Words I struggle to use are words that are hard for me to understand even in English these days. I just read an article in class about a word from a 文化庁調査 about カタカナ語 that has been seen to be misunderstood without the kanji by it. One word that made me go HUH was the word コンソーシアム haha.
I don't feel it is a weird video. However, it may be because I had to review videos of myself presenting or interpreting in American Sign Language (my AA degree) for years. When you said "... but I am an expert in my own cringe," I internally screamed "OH MY GOSH, YES!!!" because I felt so much truth in that statement about myself. Thank you for including that moment! I do love the grammatical points you included also. I look forward to seeing more if these videos if you are open to sharing them with us.
would you be able to make a video on how to start an audio diary? i really feel like it'll help me with my listening skills & improve my own speaking as well
This video was super interesting! I am trying to learn a language right now, but I am having a hard time with coming up with natural sounding phrases/sentences. I had never thought of doing an audio diary before though, so I'm going to try to do that and use some of the other tips you mentioned :) Thanks for the great advice and an awesome video
I think I commented on a previous video that I was planning on taking Japanese in college... Well, the time has come! I really do think that starting an audio diary would be very useful, since I don’t have any Japanese speaking friends, once my class starts. I’m also going to take Chinese, and I think that verbally practicing the tones through speaking (even if it is to myself) would be great. Thank you for the informative, but also funny, video ❤️
It’s not much but you just earned my subscription! I love your good attitude and desire to improve! I’ve been studying Japanese for about 3 and a half years myself and living in Japan has been phenomenal for my improvement! 因みに、会話上達に対して、積極的な人としては田舎に住んでいるのは一番効果的方法だと思います。ケムシちゃのように駆使に日本語ができたいんです。
I need to start doing that. I started learning 3 years ago, but I never thought of doing that. Also, a word I'm struggling with is なおして. In not what the kanji is for ut, but its to fix, I think.
I'm 6 months late to the party but just wanted to say I really enjoyed the video. I've done something similar looking back at some old footage of myself speaking Japanese and cringing a lot, but I don't think I'd have the courage to show it like you did! By the way, a small correction. Companies most definitely 投資する in other companies. Look up corporate venture capital (CVC). These days most large companies have CVC groups making minority investments in startups. Sometimes we say ベンチャー企業に出資する instead of 投資する but 投資する is definitely also used.
Now I'm going to start my own audio diary. I've been learning Japanese for more than years now but I can't still communicate with Japanese. I recently took N2 but I think my speaking is still N5 level. So I hope keeping an audio diary works for me.
your videos are usually very informative. but i have noticed that the topics and examples are way beyond my level. i'm in the old N4 which has changed to N5 now. you mentioned you passed level one (JLPT) recently but when you explain what's tough for you to understand is like rocket science to me...i'm just shaking my head....i'm actually looking for children's stories very basic stuff.i have been binge watching language learning methods lately....just saying...your vids are pretty good.
Wow! I'm a "native" Japanese speaker(otherwise known as half Japanese lol) but this was really helpful! And I definitely agree with the listening to native clips! I started out watching AKB48 shows with eng sub. so I would get the listening and try to piece together the meanings too. I would definitely suggest variety tv shows in Japan for people wanting to get more listening and word association in (if they were comfortable with it) as the text on screen really helps with vocab in my opinion.
For what it's worth, companies do invest in other companies. The investment becomes acquisition when they have majority of ownership, which is not always the case. Then, there are mergers (吸収合併).
I was watching this video when I realized I'm not subscribed to your channel 😂😂💔 then I finally subscribe 😜😜❤️ you are such a incredible girl!! Pd: Hi from Paraguay 👋👋
I still cringe when looking back at recent videos of me giving presentations (in Spanish, not Japanese in my case)... That's normally when you're like I conjugated that word wrong, that bit didn't make sense, etc. I know my mistakes, but I just keep making the same ones again and again... It's so frustrating.
Can I shadow you? Haha! #DeadSerious I may have to start doing audio diaries... I probably will do it when I'm at home...by myself... Plus I have an issue where I blank when I go to speak Japanese so I think practicing that way will help me to get into the habit of just saying what I need to say on the spot rather than trying to think through (conjugate, add particle here, etc.) Then one day I'll be sharing my cringe worthy files with everyone too! (^_^) Thanks for inspiring me every day!
Regarding the MEXT scholarship. Isn't it for applying for schools that teach with the medium being Japanese? If so, how is possible for a Japanese beginner to be able to reach a point in fluency where he/she can study a different topic in Japanese. If not, are there courses in English? (Also. Is it really a good idea to do your entire major in Japanese?)
The MEXT scholarship is available to English speakers who do not speak Japanese, as well. You would have to find and English taught program in Japan (which is very possible).
just came to say, i was so confused why you were in youtube rewind. after watching a bunch of videos i found out her name is Liza Koshy and you’re not the same person. im not racist i swear 😝
I hope to one day be as good as you were 10 years ago😂
I think she was 6-8 years into learning then too!
You are so inspiring❤ Japanese seems challenging. Keep up the great work!
Its too fun to pull apart and analyze🤓
This was *super* interesting! It's so great to see you analysing your old videos and making commentary because you can actually explain what you were thinking at the time and the advice you would give yourself to address the things you did wrong *and* mention the things you think you were doing right.

This really motivates me to study Japanese more and more! I'm using Japanese basically everyday here, but I progress really slowly so maybe I gotta get a book and study by myself a little, especially grammar... Or maybe I'm just too impatient with myself..
Anyway thank you for the video 💕 Keep it up!!

You are someone that always makes an interesting video for anyone who has to deal with another language. Good job !

I’ve struggled with a few words not necessarily pronouncing but when to use what and conjugations. I need to start pushing myself more.
DO ITTTT I use the free audio editor ' audacity ' and organize the files on my computer.
Now my name follows Chika san? My dad, a huge fan of her, will be glad.
I love you both guys.... 😊😊😊😊

unrelated to your actual video topic but that grey sweater is so lovely with the soft yellow flowers.
I need to start doing that. I started learning 3 years ago, but I never thought of doing that.
Also, a word I'm struggling with is なおして. In not what the kanji is for ut, but its to fix, I think.
直す、直して、直します。 I hope you're not broken😥

Now I'm going to start my own audio diary. I've been learning Japanese for more than years now but I can't still communicate with Japanese. I recently took N2 but I think my speaking is still N5 level. So I hope keeping an audio diary works for me.
so inspiring 💖
ゴリゴリの日本人でも、話す時(特にプレゼンする時)に｢えー｣とか｢えっと｣とか｢あのー｣をたくさん言ってしまう人は結構います。
それらを差し挟まないと文章が言えない人もいます。
私もわりとそうです。
それで思うのですが、これらはもちろん言わないほうが会話力としては上級ですが、それとその言語の習熟度とはまた別なような気もするなあということです。
私はロレッタ先生の日本語は大変素晴らしいと本当に思いますが、今も、またこれからロレッタ先生が今後更に日本語力を高めてもロレッタ先生より日本語の感性に関しては上である自信があります。
これは自慢でも偉ぶりたいわけでもありません。私の日本語は生まれて赤ちゃんの時から無意識に覚えて染み付いたものです。先日三本塾のアッキー先生と日本語の単語に関しての発音の動画がありましたが、私はあそこで言ってた単語を難なく無意識で自然か不自然かわかります、というか自然と感じてわかります。
でも私だけじゃなく日本生まれ日本育ちの人はそうなります。
でも、それくらい日本語の感性が備わっている人でも｢えー｣とか｢えっと｣とか｢あのー｣をたくさん言ってしまう人は少なくないです。
つまり日本語の感性の鋭さ、日本語の習熟度と日本語(言語)を運用する(特にプレゼンする)力はまた別なような気がします。
だいぶ重なる部分もあるとは思うんですけど。
Hahaha I've been thinking of doing a audio diary for awhile too!
I have a tendency to say あのう a lot （笑）
It's so cool to hear your improvement!
your videos are usually very informative. but i have noticed that the topics and examples are way beyond my level. i'm in the old N4 which has changed to N5 now. you mentioned you passed level one (JLPT) recently but when you explain what's tough for you to understand is like rocket science to me...i'm just shaking my head....i'm actually looking for children's stories very basic stuff.i have been binge watching language learning methods lately....just saying...your vids are pretty good.
Wow! I'm a "native" Japanese speaker(otherwise known as half Japanese lol) but this was really helpful! And I definitely agree with the listening to native clips! I started out watching AKB48 shows with eng sub. so I would get the listening and try to piece together the meanings too. I would definitely suggest variety tv shows in Japan for people wanting to get more listening and word association in (if they were comfortable with it) as the text on screen really helps with vocab in my opinion.
ロレさん日本に長く住んでるからなんか日本人っぽくなってきたね😊
I enjoyed this. Keep it up chica!!
Thanks boo!
Hello hello, huge fan, you're my Japanese learning idol.
And yes please podcasts!!! I cant find any top down!!!!!!!!!!
So loved it! ❣️
For what it's worth, companies do invest in other companies. The investment becomes acquisition when they have majority of ownership, which is not always the case. Then, there are mergers (吸収合併).
I was watching this video when I realized I'm not subscribed to your channel 😂😂💔 then I finally subscribe 😜😜❤️ you are such a incredible girl!!
Pd: Hi from Paraguay 👋👋
sugoku in that case is not to modify a verb but to modify (quasi) adjective which is tokutei
"quasi" 😂. Poor tokutei just got some real shade.
Your hair looks awesome! Has it grown! 🤗👏👏👏🥰
(; ﾟ ﾛﾟ) underneath it all..... ( *´艸｀)
I like it and it’s eye opening.
if you could recommend some podcasts for learning japanese, that'd be amazing.
I still cringe when looking back at recent videos of me giving presentations (in Spanish, not Japanese in my case)... That's normally when you're like I conjugated that word wrong, that bit didn't make sense, etc. I know my mistakes, but I just keep making the same ones again and again... It's so frustrating.
You are so pretty! love the jumper!
I wear it so much it's my faworite (；ω；)
I really like this video!
Yay new video!!
Thanks for the tips~ :)
What did you do for a job in Japan at first and what do you do now?
You’re amazing
Can I shadow you? Haha! #DeadSerious I may have to start doing audio diaries... I probably will do it when I'm at home...by myself... Plus I have an issue where I blank when I go to speak Japanese so I think practicing that way will help me to get into the habit of just saying what I need to say on the spot rather than trying to think through (conjugate, add particle here, etc.)
Then one day I'll be sharing my cringe worthy files with everyone too! (^_^) Thanks for inspiring me every day!
Regarding the MEXT scholarship. Isn't it for applying for schools that teach with the medium being Japanese? If so, how is possible for a Japanese beginner to be able to reach a point in fluency where he/she can study a different topic in Japanese. If not, are there courses in English? (Also. Is it really a good idea to do your entire major in Japanese?)
The MEXT scholarship is available to English speakers who do not speak Japanese, as well. You would have to find and English taught program in Japan (which is very possible).
What do you recommend learn Japanese then go to a college in Japan or go to a college in your country ? and then go to Japan😯
ロレッタちゃん、最近あなたのチャナルを見つけました。私は日本語を二十三年勉強するけどよく又やめて又始めた。この頃、日本で日本語を真面目で勉強しょうと思うけど、まだ決めていない。ロレッタちゃんの専門は何？あなたの学校どのやって決めた？
ただお話だ
