Reina I was wondering if you would make a video about going through all the particles. It’s hard to figuier out the different ways they can be used. Ex. が,も,と,に,ect P.S i love your hair, it’s beautiful.
I think my main takeaway from this video was that Mt. Fuji is "Fujisan" and not "Fuji-san", which is what I thought it was. Though I love that "Lush Forest" is just a bunch of trees smushed together.
This really helps me for reading kanji!! I've memorized so many but the different ways to read them was always confusing but this explained it so well!!
MY HEART! I’m so so so glad this helped!!!! It’s ridiculously difficult no matter what but once you can instinctively figure out whether the reading is kun yomi vs on yomi, kanji suddenly becomes VERY useful
Yes!!!! I never knew that kun yomi and on yomi existed!! But it honestly helps SO MUCH now!! 😆 Can you do a future video explaining the different kanji readings for counting?? Like nine hours is 九時間 but nine chairs is 九つの椅子, is it the difference in yomi readings again?
@@SailorVdizzle numbers get real funky sometimes and use archaic readings such as 一日 where 一 is read as つい (and 日 as たち) 一つ、二つ、２０日、二十歳、 etc. My current way of picking up the myriad of onyomi readings for certain kanji is to learn them as individual words as and when I come across them whilst reading.
I was always really afraid to continue learning kanji because i knew that combining individual kanji makes them sound different, but i never knew why they did, or how people knew which one was meant, short of just straight memorization. This vid has actually made it SO easy to understand. I know there's a long way to go to actually learn a useful amount of kanji, but it doesn't seem as intimidating any more!
Thank you so so so much! Your comment means a lot and I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate you going out of your way to write that out 💛 Japanese language videos are always a bit more difficult and niche than other types of content I make and I always wonder if I’m doing it justice. Thanks again 😊
Reina, as i continue to learn and share my journey on here with Japanese, I’m always so happy and grateful when I get to watch videos like yours. Thank you 😊
I always wondered why in Spirited Away Chihiro's name was taken away and changed to "Sen" specifically. I could be way off base but with "Sen" being the kanji that is only used as part of a more whole word or phase, plus meaning "river" (Haku saving Chihiro when she fell in a river, is also a river spirit, also didn't have his whole name) is a cool detail I never knew about!
In Japanese, the movie is called "Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi" (千と千尋の神隠し). Sen means a thousand, but the pronunciation of the character can change to "chi" as it does in the name Chihiro. The "hiro" in Chihiro means to ask questions. Kamikakushi means spirited away with "kami" meaning spirit or god and "kakushi" meaning hidden. A more literal translation might be "Sen and Chihiro's Mystical Disappearance." 千 can be read as Sen or Chi depending on the context. Also, you can see all but the first character of her name actually being taken away by Yubaba, where her name is quite literally transformed from "Chihiro" into "Sen."
Definitely learned something new with this! I suppose I picked a truly difficult language to learn for a second language but the lessons have been a lot of fun. Ty for doing these video's, they are a wonderful and fun addition to language lessons.
I'm so pleased--when 入 came on I was like "I literally just learned this from my kimono sensei 4 hours ago". We were discussing 和風月名 and the occasions celebrated in April, so "入学式" came up naturally.
Though i can already read all the 教育漢字、一年生から6年生まで、 this video was so lighthearted and fun to watch! YOure doing a great way introducing newbies to kanji! wish i couldve watched this video when i first started
I surprisingly knew more kanji than I thought I did! I knew 山 and 下 because (this must sound really stupid) Yamashita Daiki is a voice actor I admire. When I see these kanji I think, "Oh, it's like Yamashita Daiki!" And the kanji for tree, woods, and forest are easiest to remember :D
That doesn’t sound stupid AT ALL it’s actually pretty awesome that that’s how you learned 山&下!!!! I was going to go into a whole spiel about how differentiating kun yomi / on yomi is also essential for reading & identifying Japanese names in kanji but it kinda felt tangential so I left it out 😅 Thank you for watching and commenting!!!!
Funny enough, Reina said, that you wouldn't say Fujiyama, but that's exactly how we call the mountain in Germany. I guess someone must have messed up the reading back then haha
Hello Reina, you are the best! I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships.
REINA!!! HOW DID U KNOW !! i just downloaded some new language learning apps on my phone to start my journey of learnin Japanese, and i come on youtube to find a new video from you!! yay!! youre the best ^___^
Is she not an angel sent to bless us with her elegance and knowledge? Intelligent, beautiful, lovely, absolutely amazing hair and style, and caring enough to share her knowledge. Domo arigato gozaimasu!!!
Oh my god.... the on yomi for tree is a trip cause I just finished watching Seijuu Sentai Gingaman and their mentor was literally a talking tree named Moku, along with a little acorn-looking buddy named Boku
Holy shit, this whole time, I thought that they were just calling Mt. Fuji “Fuji-san” to be respectful and cute. I did not know that “san” was the onyomi for “yama” lmaooo

Mokujin from tekken Is tree man :D I just assumed it was Wood-man, because there was Tetsujin, Iron-man, and Kinjin, Gold-man. Learning something new everyday
Wooden-man always made sense if you have a knowledge of martial arts training practices. "Wooden dummy" training is very common in Wing chun and some Okinawan Karate styles. Mokujin, is literally the only "board" that hits back - to subvert Bruce Lee lol.
lol I was today years old when I realised that the Karate terms "Jou-dan", "Chu-dan", & "Ge-dan" (upper level, middle level, and lower level - in terms of target ares) are the On Yomi :)
こんにちは , Reina. お元気ですか? I hope that this is correct, I have been watching Japanesepod101 on TH-cam and learning a lot. I love Japan and been wanting to be fluent in Japanese. Hopefully I spell fluent correctly.
Very good pacing and great info, thanks. I actually thought that fuji-san was honorific. I still like the idea of saying Mr. Fuji in my head. Ideas for another video: perhaps some tongue twisters? I die inside when trying to pronounce atatakakatta. Great lesson. お疲れ様でした。
I speak Korean and I don't know any Japanese besides a few words but I always wonder Which is more difficult.... Having to learn Thousands of Kanji? Or Using 한글 only but not using any Hanja at all and having to learn how to type and read like a Korean, which is freaking hard. There are so mnay homophones and homonyms in Korean. Sino Korean is the hardest part. Sometimes I think it would be easier if they still used Hanja. On the other hand I can't remember hardly a few dozen Hanja so I wouldn't want to learn thousands... I'll stick to Korean and Hangul lol.
Heyy reina thanks for the useful video. Idk if I said this before but I’m basically trying to beat my friends at learning Japanese by next year because we are going to Japan for my bestfriend’s 13th birthday. I’m relearning some things but I hope to have fun learning. (And beat them 😏)
I've heard the phrase "Mount Fujiyama" and it's always frustrated me that people say mount and yama, but now I'm extra frustrated knowing it should be Fujisan
I knew all of the kunyomi, but I had no idea about the onyomi readings. Except for 山, simply because I've already learned that's it's Fujisan and not Fujiyama like in German.
I am 14 years old japanese When studying kanji, many people also study "radicals" and "stroke order", but Japanese people don't pay much attention to "radicals" and "stroke order". 漢字を勉強してると「部首」や「書き順」なども勉強する人が多いのですが、日本人は「部首」や「書き順」をあまり気にしていませんよ。
Anyone who has attempted to learn Chinese or Japanese will know how much-unspoken context there is in what is being said. As Europeans and Americans, we've grown up with the illusion that language coveys true meaning, but in reality, it conveys emotion -like playing an instrument
I’ve been learning Japanese using different apps, but a few of them have different ways to say things so I was wondering which one is correct. Hour/Time in kanji is 時 is it とき or じ because one app says one thing and one says the other and then on my Japanese keyboard both are correct, so I’m confused. If there are two ways to say it, are they both fine or is there a time and place to use them?
I begun my Japanese study with doing RTK 1 so I learned one meaning for 2000 kanji + how to wire all of them. Was probably not the most efficient of use of time Xp
Is the Kanji/pronuciation for right as in the direction and right as in correct, similar yet different or would the kanji/pronuciation for right as in correct just use a completley different synonym like correct?
上手: means being good at something, and it's written by combining the Kanji for up and hand Me: So, jouzu translated literally, means "above hand" like a hand that's high, and since god is "observing" us from above, we can say that 上手 means "God's hand(s)" and can then be enteprite that someone has "God's hands" is mastered the art, and therefore is good at it...
Hiragana is a lowercase alphabet. Katakana is a uppercase alphabet. Kanji is a Emoji. (if you can figure out the meaning from the Emoji, the reading is not important. Kanji is made up of illustrations that represent it, so if you learn the meaning of the parts, you can easily guess the meaning.)
When you first start learning japanese and find out you not only have to learn kanji but each one has multiple readings 🤯 I've just passed 1 year of studying but vocab is still a struggle 😂
When going about memorizing Kanji, do you learn both the kunyomi and onyomi at the same time? Or do you prioritize learning one over the other in some instances? And how would you recommend writing flashcards haha, there's so much information to know, I'm not sure how to format my flashcards
I personally believe learning the kun yomi first is more important (I explain it in detail in my first kanji lesson video) since it is the definition / meaning. But if it doesn’t confuse you, learning them together is extremely useful. I am super sorry but I don’t really have any suggestions for flash cards because Japanese is my first language and I didn’t have to “actively” & academically learn it as I learned English.
Umm i don't know if i spelled this right but here you go こにちは btw i also realized that japanese is really easy to pronounce for spanish speakers because they use the same sounds for example the i is pronounced e in both languages and pan is bread in both languages too i speak Spanish and English so using katakana and pronouncing things will be kinda easy now i just need to learn how to spell and kanji
@@cherrybearytseed6518 ahhhh i think you have to hit the "n" twice for the first one, and then type "ni". So it would type out like "konnnichiha" with three "n"s Like typing a single ん you have to hit "n" twice
Is it just me or is japanese easy for mexicans spanish and japanese kinda use the same sounds fot example the i is pronounced e not i in both languages so i got hiragana and katakana pretty fast kanji is so fun for me what's the big deal? It kinda surprises me that im only 11
Japanese just can't make something simple for you can it? Why is the On-Yomi reading for 出 (しゅつ) but in 出発 (しゅっぱつ) it's read as しゅ. Don't I have to remember enough already? (Also I'm pretty proud already knowing 森(もり) from 動物の森.)
It really is difficult because しゅつ vs しゅっis more based on the following suffix (ぱ in the case of 出発) where the small っ is only needed due to the bilabial stop that ぱ causes, which we understand intuitively and not actively. My video on pronunciation titled “how to sound more japanese” explains this on a surface level if you’re interested in our linguistic differences based on our “alphabet” (五十音)😊
Homograph: Two words written the same way (read,read in "I read now, you read yesterday") Homophone: Two words that sound the same (red,read in "I read a red book") Homonym: A homophone that is a homograph (bat,bat in "I hit a bat with a bat") If words are written with different Kanji, I think they should be called homophones rather than homonyms.
I absolutely see your point, but Japanese also has hiragana and katakana where the “spelling” ends up being exactly the same as it is a phonetic alphabet so Japanese is hard to confine within English linguistic parameters
@@reinascully for sure. However, one way I've been looking at it is that different kanji help tell different words apart - that is, write them differently even though they sound the same. So we can write 切る and 着る to tell them apart (even though we *could* write them both as きる), just like we can write "bear" and "bare" to tell them apart even though they sound the same (that is, they can both be verbs). So because kanji helps disambiguate words that *sound* the same, I think it's more helpful to emphasize that they're homophones (as every homonym is also a homophone). Of course, you're absolutely right and this is just a simile - technically speaking, the very existence of ひらがな technically makes all Japanese homophones homonyms as well, I guess.

Reina I was wondering if you would make a video about going through all the particles.
It’s hard to figuier out the different ways they can be used.
Ex. が,も,と,に,ect
P.S i love your hair, it’s beautiful.

What I took from the lesson: Reina-sensei's hair is so fab.
I think my main takeaway from this video was that Mt. Fuji is "Fujisan" and not "Fuji-san", which is what I thought it was.
Though I love that "Lush Forest" is just a bunch of trees smushed together.
👏 honestly this makes me VERY happy~ Also pleased that you enjoyed “lush forest” as much as I do 😂🙆♀️

I've know the kanji for quite a bit of time and I don't think its very difficult, its more what am I even doing with sentence structure and particles

上手: means being good at something, and it's written by combining the Kanji for up and hand
Me: So, jouzu translated literally, means "above hand" like a hand that's high, and since god is "observing" us from above, we can say that 上手 means "God's hand(s)" and can then be enteprite that someone has "God's hands" is mastered the art, and therefore is good at it...

Katakana is a uppercase alphabet.
Kanji is a Emoji. (if you can figure out the meaning from the Emoji, the reading is not important. Kanji is made up of illustrations that represent it, so if you learn the meaning of the parts, you can easily guess the meaning.)
Just like Chinese, I will always know the words "left" and "right" but never know which is left and which is right...hehe...
So is the word 音読み a combination of Onyomi 音AND Kunyomi読み??
I don't understand the Mt. Fujisan. How does Yama turn into San? Why choose UnYomi over Kun Yomi
Bcz the Chinese origin word root??

作為識得每一個漢字的人來說，學習日語似乎比較容易，但是我不會平假名和片假名。但是日語的語音體系真的不是很難。
Japanese just can't make something simple for you can it? Why is the On-Yomi reading for 出 (しゅつ) but in 出発 (しゅっぱつ) it's read as しゅ. Don't I have to remember enough already?
(Also I'm pretty proud already knowing 森(もり) from 動物の森.)
It really is difficult because しゅつ vs しゅっis more based on the following suffix (ぱ in the case of 出発) where the small っ is only needed due to the bilabial stop that ぱ causes, which we understand intuitively and not actively. My video on pronunciation titled “how to sound more japanese” explains this on a surface level if you’re interested in our linguistic differences based on our “alphabet” (五十音)😊

I have spent 6 years learning Japanese and I still am struggling... 😅🤣
Homograph: Two words written the same way (read,read in "I read now, you read yesterday")
Homophone: Two words that sound the same (red,read in "I read a red book")
Homonym: A homophone that is a homograph (bat,bat in "I hit a bat with a bat")
If words are written with different Kanji, I think they should be called homophones rather than homonyms.
I absolutely see your point, but Japanese also has hiragana and katakana where the “spelling” ends up being exactly the same as it is a phonetic alphabet so Japanese is hard to confine within English linguistic parameters
@@reinascully for sure. However, one way I've been looking at it is that different kanji help tell different words apart - that is, write them differently even though they sound the same. So we can write 切る and 着る to tell them apart (even though we *could* write them both as きる), just like we can write "bear" and "bare" to tell them apart even though they sound the same (that is, they can both be verbs). So because kanji helps disambiguate words that *sound* the same, I think it's more helpful to emphasize that they're homophones (as every homonym is also a homophone). Of course, you're absolutely right and this is just a simile - technically speaking, the very existence of ひらがな technically makes all Japanese homophones homonyms as well, I guess.
Dude that hair color slaps.
可愛すぎ〜（笑）
