It's funny, I'm not that disciplined, but once I decide I want something I'm persistent if nothing else, the only thing I have ever been semi-disciplined with is swords and this, though I have not been nearly disciplined enough to get started with RTK without forgetting one day, which leads to an endless spiral until I have a passing thought and restart the cycle. Do you know a way I could fix this? Alarms don't help at all for me, so I really need to figure out how to get into a habit.
Hey Lucas, this is really good advice, great conent! I like to use similar goal setting methodology, I have some big lofty thing I am shooting for, or just you know some cool things I want to be able to do and get excited about with a language. Then I try to set smaller goals, normally at the start monthly. "Complete all the dialogues in textbook X by the end of the month" or "read book X and book Y this month" depending on my current level. Then finally I try to put most my attention on this one, you mentioned daily goals, I call it trying to get my daily routine in order. "Every day when I wake up, I will shower, not turn on my phone notifications and read for an hour every morning" , "I will watch 2 episodes of a TV show a day" or "I will listen to 30mins of a podcast before going to sleep" this sort of thing. I think the combination is really powerful. Also you mentioned about life circumstances, I would normally power through but recently beein experiencing a lot of stuff I need to deal with and haven't really done much language learning at all this month, and that's ok. I can get back to it when i'm ready
Hello! If you aren't already a patron and would like to become a visiting vip and get free access to the Migaku community. Then please send a friend request and a message on Discord to MigakuVIPRegistry#0778, and I will tell you the next step.
I think the roadmap has to have a "have to do every day"-part, a "if I can´t manage to do this its not the end of the world"-part and a "today I am really in the mood"-part. That makes it flexible to react on work or family-related circumstances and protects you from burning out or be frustrated becaus you can´t execute the whole plan every day with same mood/concentration.
Hey Yoga, I remember you said you had to do a fast because of stomach issues and in this video, you said you get tired after meals. I’m not an expert on the human body but I’ve dealt with this issue before. You may want to look into increasing the stomach acid to ensure you’re properly breaking down your food. I fixed this problem and it dramatically improved my energy levels post meals and throughout the day and helped with a host of what seemed to be autoimmune issues
I’ve seen lots of comments saying that they want shorter videos which would honestly probably be good, but I thought I’d throw my hat in the ring too. I actually like the longer videos and feel like I’m getting a more in-depth look at the topic through long-form content. It doesn’t seem like anyone’s done this yet, but I suppose I’ll give my Discord tag: Seven Stop#4935

What do you think is the correct way of learning kanji? Do you still beleive in the method that was taught with M.I.A, where you would start with Recognition RTK and then go on to learn the readings for kanji.

Hellooo, kind of curious to hear your advice on this matter. Ive been technically exposed to korean all my life (apparently so is everyone haha) but yeah, Learned the language because of my culture. Anyways Started learning it back in 2017 for a month, Then put it off till 2020.. On and off so to say, Ive been intensively studying korean since april everyday moving from Heavy grammar base + Anki/Immersion method to a more character + Immersion (reading or podcast method) now. The thing is its already december upcoming is january (uni student, so exams for me) Ill be flying to poland (uni) by feb or march hopefully. Connected to this is that i have a polish neighbor who is willing to teach me,but they are moving out by the end of the year.. Here is the question: Im currently dealing with moving myself from lower intermediate to intermediate korean and german from an intermediate to advance level (more immersion and stuff, mostly inspired from your methods really).But seeing that if i maximize december all the way till march or april, it would really help me get started with polish. Considering the fact, that german right now is just charity work for me as i dont really need it (maintenance mode) and korean(leveling it up). Would it be of my own demise if i add polish with it? Kind of like 4 month challenge to help me get started or wait for a while to get first into intermediate level?
Thanks for the great video. You talked about learning 5.000 hanzi. I just finished remembering the Hanzi one and two that amounts only to 3.000 hanzi. Do you have a list for the remaining 2.000 hanzi? Keep up the good work.
The 5000 hanzi include Simplified and Traditional characters. Not including variants it's probably around 4k or so. I learned to write these hanzi in the context of words I knew or was learning in Chinese (after I was past the beginner stage), and not in a list so there isn't one.
Check of the Immerse with Migaku Browser Extension video, it already has a word count and translation features will be implemented at some point as well.
I'll leave my Discord here, seems like an interesting community to be in: Sekii#4905 I really like how down to earth these videos are. The fact that the first videos in this new wave of content are about managing your own internal psychology says a lot about what's really important when acquiring a new skill. It rarely ever is about following methodologies mindlessly, but about trying to adapt it slowly in your routine, observing how it works and modifying the parts that don't quite fit accordingly.
I was really happy when you were doing 5-10 min videos max (a couple were 12 or so iirc). I literally can't focus on your videos for 30 mins, and I'd encourage you to check your abandon rate and watch time metrics to see if I'm the only one. I think it's widely known shorter videos perform better, and I want to see you do well with growing your audience.
I've already mentioned in several videos before that the plan is to move on to shorter videos in the future. However, I want to make this series without compromises before playing the game of just making videos that get the most views or watch times. I would like to grow on TH-cam in order to help Migaku but I am not a "TH-camr" and I will mostly prioritize making the content that I feel will add value to people rather than what gets views.
Close to thirty percent of people are watching to the end of the video, and that’s fine by me. I understand what the TH-cam platform, and even platforms like Twitter and others are. They train people to want bite size chunks of content and people come to expect that everywhere they look. And while I do understand that, I don’t plan to engage with the platform in a way that solely prioritizes the people that have those expectations. I do have a lot of work to do when it comes to improving at video production, and I definitely feel that trying to be concise with individual ideas is of benefit, and I’d like to consistently improve at this. But I also think that when one wants to package ideas that they think are connected that sometimes including them within the same video can be better, and can perhaps better orient those ideas within a larger narrative that they may want to communicate to their viewers. On another note, I already have about a hundred shorter videos noted down that I plan on making. They actually comprise the vast majority of the videos I currently have planned. Remember that I’ve only been doing TH-cam for two months now, when you look back in six months the ratio of longer to shorter form videos will look very different than it does right now.
I mean, if you already play video games, what not just play games in Japanese? There are loads of Japanese content in video game format that is very reading and/or listening intensive.
I often do play games in Japanese. I won't choose the games I play based on how they will help me with language learning though. I prioritize playing the games I want to play the most nowadays, since I am more than 5 years past my hard-core language learning days haha.
I play games that are from Japan in Japanese, but I won't change a game that wasn't from Japan to Japanese just for language gains. I prefer playing games in their original language. I tried GTA-V in Japanese for a bit some years back, and let's just say it didn't work out.
@@MigakuOfficial fair enough. Playing video games in Spanish has been massive for my learning so I try to throw it out there whenever I can. Side question: when teaching yourself programming, do you stick to English language resources?
@@MigakuOfficial good to know. I’ve been trying to force studying programming through Spanish but it’s just not worth the effort trying to find decent materials. Relieved to hear someone else feels the same way haha.
Learning a language is going to take a lot of effort... I somewhat learned English through playing videogames and nothing else. One day I somehow decided that I should also learn Japanese because it would be very cool and why not. Intuitively I knew that traditional methods don't work at all and I should use 'immersion' and just acquire the language as I did it with English. With google I quickly found language learning communities. And after more than a year I still pretty much suck. My Anki deck has more than 9k cards with sentences from anime and books, I have completed the Japanese course in Duolingo and all the achievement, I bought and completed Lingodeer, I have 6k words memorized in Clozemaster. If I knew that it would be this way I wouldn't have started. Still it was probably time spent better than playing WoW or something.
@Marwan Lee It depends on what I'm watching or reading. A simple show like K-On or Kinmoza I can understand almost completely, I feel like. I have no problem reading NHK Easy News. There are youtubers I got used to. Teasing Master Takagi-san I struggle with but I still kinda understand everything. But shows like, say, Spice and Wolf I can't really understand, to a point I don't even know what's going on sometimes. I can't read fiction books without a dictionary and google.
@Marwan Lee The thing with SRS and stuff like Lingodeer is that I can do it when I'm at work without getting fired, also it's addictive, feels like there's progress.
The photos during the transitions are from my trips to Yunnan, Guangxi, and Hainan China! I hope you like them!
It's funny, I'm not that disciplined, but once I decide I want something I'm persistent if nothing else, the only thing I have ever been semi-disciplined with is swords and this, though I have not been nearly disciplined enough to get started with RTK without forgetting one day, which leads to an endless spiral until I have a passing thought and restart the cycle.
