I started learning Japanese to understand vtubers which led to me wanting to practice what I learn by translating clips which led to me learning editing to make said videos. I never cared to make videos before but now I really like it and it's hard to juggle learning jp itself, watching vtubers and editing.
ty for answering my question. I'm finishing up my cs degree and doing an internship and what you said is definitely resonating. I think I'd like to save up a few years from working a "real job" before quitting, and then live while keeping my expenses low by not buying useless things, growing some of my own food, etc. Working 8 hours days at a computer is just not very fulfilling, I would also rather shovel snow or something lol
Woah I really don't know how you can do all that, you look like a super human. You know how to program, edit, you speak English, Japanese and your native language, you go to the gym, you read, and other things I can't remember. I on the other hand don't know how to do anything (I'm writing this using a translator), I've been studying English for 6 months and although I more or less understand videos of people talking and more or less understand the writing, I can't even write, let alone speak. I've put in 6/8 hours a day and I'm bad at it. Ahh I just wanted to write this as an outlet, I would really like to turn back the clock and start over, stop wasting my time.
Your channel has easily become one of my favorites. Your insights and experiences are genuinely useful and interesting. Keep up the great content, king ❤️👍
I love your editing, it's fun and keeps me watching. My native language is Spanish, your content is one of my favorites when I want to practice my comprehension because it's interesting and entertaining I really want to understand everything you say
Hey Livakivi! I just wanna say I've been binge watching your vids over the last few days. I've been really interested in learning Japanese and have been watching lots of videos on learning languages. I really love and am inspired by the way you approach learning as a whole. For learning languages and Japanese in particular I enjoy listening to you talk about your progress and method because when you explain stuff the process seems a lot simpler and closer to achievable. Thank you for making videos. We love them.
Would love to hear about your weight lifting experience! Love everything you do, and find myself rewatching much of your content because it is really interesting and informational. Keep up the great work your doing! -Hjeg
Indeed, I actually hadn't really played any Japanese games, except Tekken (to my knowledge) before starting to learn Japanese. But I do plan on playing more in the future!
@@Livakivi I really recommend any game from the Persona series. Half of the game is set in modern day Japan, so it's really useful for learners of Japanese, while also being insanely fun.
@@edmundironside9435 Pretty much nobody played Pokemon or Nintendo games here. Most people are PC gamers because they were more available, and consoles were considered expensive. At least during my times lol.
Found you through your videos on learning japanese and I'm now binging all types of videos you upload. Loving the new renovating series! Keep it up man!
Sad I missed the whole Q&A. I thought being subscribed and having watched a lot of your videos, the algorithm would recommend new ones to me, but I guess not. I'll try to catch the next one though!
Another great video! Honestly covering learning a new language, learning to draw and trying to find a game idea you're passionate about have really resonated with me. Your drawabox video inspired me to actually try drawing, though I dropped it when exams came around lol.
You mentioned that you are/were a programmer who was mostly self thought. What approach would you recommend to someone who wants to learn programing? How would you structure the "curriculum" and what resources do you recommend? Love your vids!
Hard to say, but generally, I recommend having something you want to build, no matter how menial, can even be a calculator. Then choose some technology or language for making that project, and start learning it, either through youtube videos, blogposts, written tutorials, online courses, etc.
I really feel the part about doing creative work for others I sketch a lot and people constantly tell me to become a graphic designer, but i really dont want to be one. I like drawing for myself but i have no passion in drawing what others request, i even hate it similar to you, so what i draw will look really ugly I recently even found out i dont even really like drawing itself, i only like the picture i get out of it, because it gives my dreams some reality.
I feel like the best Japanese channel I can recommend is Sushi Ramen (Riku). Even if you understand zero Japanese, his over the top stunts are quite visually entertaining.
Well, I failed. I went to a LAN party yesterday and we stayed up all night. So I slept throughout this day AND I MISSED THIS UPLOAD to comment first😭 Anyways, great video! (also i'm so glad that you mentioned Odd Taxi cus I also like it very much)
i like all your videos , i dont coment on all of them ,sorry , but i like so much your content and your personalty , i enyoy a lot your videos , have so much inspiration and learn about diferents things , thx ♡
hey cheems, saw that you mentioned that you need alot of sleep every night (~10hrs) look into getting a sleep apnea test done! it's a condition common with lifters, and treating it can help you with your sleep. Just wanted to share brother
@@Livakivi loltyler1 got diagnosed as well. Just thought to let you know because it may be that you're not getting enough oxygen (routinely stop breathing during sleep) rather than not getting enough hours. All the best bro!
Going to college for Computer Science is not mandatory, but it opens up a lot of doors. Most people I know that did not go to college (and work in the field) only know how to do web development, which if you are not aware, is very easy. While some people are not good at programming even after going through college, they are definetly better than if they hand't. I have never met a good Comp. scientist who does not have a degree.
If you want to blow up your channel and actually get fans that support you is: 1. Get a video that blows up (algorithm friendly) 2. Select a big niche like for example “health” which is like supplements, weightlifting, mental health, self improvement ect. You can choose something you like 3. Your videos are quality and enjoyable but you just need that push into the algorithm
i should be studying my anki decks right now but maan, opening anki is like walking to hell aight imma stop stalling and do it now because Livakivi uploaded
I think cs degree is essential for ml and stuff. It is literally all math, so I don't understand how you can proceed without the core knowledge of the field
Apart from anki have been using some other than that for learning? and for learning how to read did you just read text while looking for words and their lectures? YOUR VIDEOS ARE GREAT BTW
I have used various apps like Duolingo and Lingodeer, and read some textbook like the Tae Kim's guide to grammar, but at the end of the day, you don't really need anything other than Anki + Immersion + Sentence Mining. You can even just use only immersion, but its slower lol. I don't read much (yet), but I mostly look up unknown words with yomichan.
I guess I'm reaching kind of a burnout state, mixed with the fact that I join a bit your point of view on working for others... Unfortunately, I don't find time to do anything outside of my full time job, and I'm heavily motivationless on the weekends, so that doesn't help at all. Maybe I have depression, who knows, too anxious, unmotiated, forgetful, and in deny to go see a doctor, even if it's getting worse in a way...
Well, you do sound like you exert symptoms of depression/anxiety. I think it would be best if you did seek help, as its going to improve your life quality in the end. If you refuse to get help from others, you can try getting started alone, at least. It all depends on your specific situation, but often lacking motivation and discipline comes from not seeing purpose/meaning in what you're doing. If you feel like that applies, it might be worth it to start getting into philosophy or working towards finding some meaning. If you have a clear path you want to follow, but are just missing the motivation or discipline, its just a matter of starting VERY small (I'm talking micro improvements month), and maintaining that until you're ready to add more. Its easy to say, hard to do, I know, but at least that's what I know to say right now.
@Livakivi Well, I could say that there is things I want to learn, but lacking the motivation and having an anxiety block due to the amount to learn, for exemple drawing. And it really feels like I'm not suited to work in an office in IT for a company, but I have no other choice, so yeah... I should have been speaking help since a year or two, but still haven't really made progress towards that.
Django migration sound like hell. Work in a delivery department as a migration specialist - never done such a thing) Only DB scripts and a little bit of bash)
Livakivi can you please make a video where you set up your subtitles for animes or any japanese videos wich can be copy and pastet, cause if I activate the subtitles it cant be copied so I cant translate it and ad it into my anki deck, so how do you do it thanks
Mishima is great and the reason I started learning Japanese in the first place : ) so many great Japanese novels that never got translated. Do you feel you are in a place to read works at that level at this point ?
Its hard to tell since I haven't tried, but with a dictionary, probably yeah. Though, there are 2 versions of the Japanese book - the more modern one, and the original one. The original one is very difficult even for natives, as even the modern one is quite difficult.
Is there good immersion material for Estonian? Does anime get dubbed into Estonian? Not learning it, just curious. I've been following Matt's advise for the past 2 years for German, and I found a lot of interesting content, and I wondered what it was like for other languages.
There is some immersion material for Estonian, a lot of dubs, but the issues is that they're really hard to find, unless you live here to buy the dvds or stream them from services here lol.
@@Livakivi Well, if I ever want to learn Estonian, I'll have to go to Tallinn to see if I can find a dubbed copy of Sakura Card Captor or Samurai Champloo, hehe.
I've seen Wanikani, but I haven't personally used it. It will most likely get you good results, but its rather slow because it teaches you radiclals/kanji before vocabulary (or something). I personally just learn vocabulary directly without learning kanji in isolation. I do think its an ok idea to take like 1 to 2 cards per day from RRTK or something to get the minimum effective dose though.
Thank you, I am currently teaching myself statistics and a lot of definitions are super difficult to understand, I will try to find more examples to help me know what I am reading about.
I don't really want to do one, but I might, because its going to give me way more opportunities and dimensions in which to create content. Eg, I mentioned gym-related stuff in the video, but I can't really make lifting videos easily without doing a face reveal, and so on.
Thanks for the offer! But I really want to edit my own videos myself, because then I have precise control over the video. It may be annoying to search for background footage, record voicelines, and to do the laborous grind of video editing sometimes, but I still enjoy the outcome and experimentation that goes along with it.
@@Livakivi That’s perfectly fine and I do understand, thanks for the respond tho! It really means a lot you know as a video editor trying to make his way into the internet it’s really rare to get a reward 😊
Breaking immersion this one time to watch this
I started learning Japanese to understand vtubers which led to me wanting to practice what I learn by translating clips which led to me learning editing to make said videos.

Oh shit that's cool you started doing those vids and now get views from them.

I would like to see a weight lifting video or talking about sports and exercising in general

10:15 I'm surprised you don't play that many Japanese games. That was the first thing that got me interested in Japan and Japanese culture.
Indeed, I actually hadn't really played any Japanese games, except Tekken (to my knowledge) before starting to learn Japanese. But I do plan on playing more in the future!
@@Livakivi I really recommend any game from the Persona series. Half of the game is set in modern day Japan, so it's really useful for learners of Japanese, while also being insanely fun.
@@Livakivi Does that include Pokemon?
@@edmundironside9435 Pretty much nobody played Pokemon or Nintendo games here. Most people are PC gamers because they were more available, and consoles were considered expensive. At least during my times lol.
@@Livakivi Wow, for someone who grew up in the UK that's really hard to imagine
been waiting for this video
I clicked "like" the moment you said you are not even used to say 2021 yet - I could relate way too much.

one of the best yt channels out there
I would be very interested to see a video about the weight lifting stuff you mentioned
ur great. youve become one of my favourite yt channels. idk how to better put it haha
You mentioned that you are/were a programmer who was mostly self thought. What approach would you recommend to someone who wants to learn programing? How would you structure the "curriculum" and what resources do you recommend?
Love your vids!
Hard to say, but generally, I recommend having something you want to build, no matter how menial, can even be a calculator. Then choose some technology or language for making that project, and start learning it, either through youtube videos, blogposts, written tutorials, online courses, etc.
I really feel the part about doing creative work for others
I sketch a lot and people constantly tell me to become a graphic designer, but i really dont want to be one. I like drawing for myself but i have no passion in drawing what others request, i even hate it similar to you, so what i draw will look really ugly
I recently even found out i dont even really like drawing itself, i only like the picture i get out of it, because it gives my dreams some reality.
pog video as always
Big ups bro. Always enjoy the content
I feel like the best Japanese channel I can recommend is Sushi Ramen (Riku). Even if you understand zero Japanese, his over the top stunts are quite visually entertaining.

Tbh anki is really rewarding so it's not that bad, it's just annoying at times
@@wango6603 lmao
If your keep this up, and produce videos in that qualitiy or higher you will become a big youtbuber i am sure
Could you make a video in which you speak with your native language?
Might do some segment like that in the future lol
An awesome video like always! Please I need the name of the game with cars at 10:41 ...
Its called "Ignition". I actually learned just now that it also game out on steam lol: store.steampowered.com/app/577990/Ignition/

How do you plan out yor day and keep motivated to do stuff? I lose motivation soo quickly its not even funny...
Hi, Have you ever used Wani Kani? If so what's your take on it and would you recommend using it alongside Anki?

How do you like being from Estonia? Asking since it’s such a small country btw how old are you if you don’t mind I’m just curious
Its alright. And I'm 22.
What is your method for learning things that are complicated or too abstract ?
Get enough examples until I build some level of intuition for it I guess.
