Hi friends! I know this is an old video but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the all the love and support that this video is getting. 🤗 I’ve been getting a lot of corrections on this video including the “こんにちわ” and my pronunciation and I appreciate all of it. I’d like to think I’ve gotten a little better now as I’m doing my best to constantly improve. ☺️

Again, thank you and stay safe always my dear friends! ❤️
Thank you so much! I started teaching myself hiragana/Katakana while in quarantine and I would really love to be able to speak Japanese one day because, to visit Japan has always been one of my Life's dream. Hope it sismt too late.
This video is so aesthetically eye pleasing haha
Thank you for this video! I've been teaching myself for 2 years now, but I gave up almost 6 months ago just because I got busy and burned out. This is the motivation I needed! どもありがとうございます！
I really want to thank you for this video, I had lost my motivation to learn this language this past weeks but now I feel like I can do it 😭😭❤️
thank you this video really motivated me to keep learning Japanese even though i'm only on hiragana
me: brain will u remember this?
brain: の
I wouldn’t’ have understood this joke a day ago and im so PROUD ✌️😔 🤪💅
@@patasmaranas9711 what does it mean 😭😭 I'm still learning hiragana and katakana
@@jana-ig6tr the sound “の” makes is “no” ;)

No! Hahah
Um I’m Japanese but her handwriting is better than mine
maybe it's the motivation
Thank you! That really means a lot. 😅❤️

Would love to be friends with you if possible!☺️

Whenever you speak Japanese, I feel like I’m at Japan 😭 you’re like one of those Japanese tour guides.
Yep her vids are so cute

it means: Same Lol
@@sealbrothea2264 若者言葉知ってる？スゲェーなぁ
Yep
So true
The urge to study Japanese:
The fact I’m already studying Mandarin Chinese: *are you sure you want to confuse yourself*
Opposite for me, I’m learning Japanese but I’ve started to want to learn Mandarin Chinese 🥲...
I’m learning Korean but I wanna learn Japanese but I do not wanna cram both languages in my head
Actually, going from Chinese to Japanese might be good! You know the characters in Chinese right? Kanji is like Hiragana and Katakana with Chinese characters! Like you do know “yi” right? (One in Chinese) So in Japanese one is “ichi”. Then in kanji, you can use the same character of yi, for ichi!
learning japanese as a chinese is a sort of upperhand, you can make good use of it (especially if you have the drive to learn japanese), even if you are uninterested its fine, just learn whatever piques your interest i guess
also, im a chinese as well haha
I'm Chinese and my parents don't want me to study Japanese bcoz of this :")
"Why do you want to learn nihongo?"
"To watch anime without subtitles."
Bruh u got me there
lmfao we got caught red handed:
lmao same
Yeah and also visit japan
Same and also because of anime I’m moving to japan
So true😎👌

Yall lets be honest that we dont just learn Japanese so that we could use it when we travel to Japan but instead we want to use it to confuse the heck of our relatives, fams, or friends and have that devilish smile after XD
HOW DID YOU KNOW.
@@ryujikazuda Cuz I read minds😏 lol jk
You’ve given me motivation 😤💪🏻
@@douha533 Das good
Yes! But it's actually hard because of this pandemic, full of activities in school, covid is such a bullshit lol
My reason for learning Japanese is because 10 years ago, I had a childhood friend who was a Japanese. We used to hangout a lot, until she returned back to Japan. Though she spoke perfect english, I still wish to communicate with her in Japanese. It's been 2 years since I've started learning, and I still haven't told her yet. We've kept in touch through out the years, and I'm travelling to Japan hopefully next year to meet her. I'm still at N2 level, but I hope to reach N1 before this year ends
Update: My flight is on June, quite nervous now 😐
That’s an amazing reason. Honestly just reading this made my day, I wish you the best!
@@tiny_tuba9756 Thank you very much! :)
Finally someone who isn't learning japanese for anime... Idk why but these people annoy me
Update on this, I'm going to Japan next year and I still havent told her.
@@GabrielSantos-ru9bx go bag her bro😈
My three reasons for learning Japanese:
- Anime without subtitles
- Learn a new language and acquire knowledge (which is always good 😉)
- Traveling (someday) to Japan
SAME THO
Those are my exact reasons too
Yeah, university’s and things like that will be interested in you

I can read a little!
You should be ! I can read close to nothing-
me wanting to learn Korean and Japanese but also ended up being lazy ㅜㅜ
but thank you for this, now i want to stop myself for being lazy to learn the things i want.
I'm Chinese, I've been studying Chinese for about 11 years now (I'm 16).
One trick I learned to practice Chinese or Kanji is to just write them as small as possible. You're so focused on trying to write them that you end up focusing on each and every stroke. Use this trick if you want to practice or when you want to improve your handwriting. :)
I like your last name!! Also, I write pretty small already and look forward to learning Kanji later on after I master Hirigana and Katakana >,< I just got to stay committed to do so.
@@soyal__exome4157 Good luck! Also, people sometimes confuse my last name sometimes lol. One time a Japanese person told me that my name meant "lotus(?)" and it took me a while to know they were talking about.
你好呀，我也是中國人 ：)
Benny Ren oooo. What do you recommend to learn the language?
@@soyal__exome4157 I've only really attended weekly Chinese classes so I'm too familiar with other programs. I guess you could try things like Duolingo or watch TH-cam videos. For beginners, the hardest thing to learn I think is the basic characters and radicals. They're some of the most important things to focus on first, even knowing a few can help you learn a lot faster. As for grammar and pronunciation, read some books or essays written by Chinese students. Listen to music, watch TV shows and films (I tell myself to do this more but I keep getting distracted by anime lol).
This probably doesn't exactly answer your question but it's more about how you're learning rather than where you're learning.
"write, write, write and write"
me who literally never writes anything in japanese: 👁👁
I would really recommend learning how to write in Japanese. Once you’ve memorized the symbols, studying gets easier and it’s really, really fun to write ^ - ^
Edit: I know it isn’t necessary… I just find that it has helped me because I’m a sensory learner. Do what works best for you!
Fr
@@mamaluigi6949 writing is pretty different to just using a keyboard. i will barely ever use handwritten japanese and i still memorized the writing systems lol
@@mamaluigi6949 yes.. especially if you don't have any basic writing in this kind of character. As for me I have basic skill to write kanji as I have learned Chinese
it throws me off how people in Japan write vertically and not horizontally like--
I want to be that one player in a game with the Japanese username.
well you did it
You want to be like in those memes? Lol.
Her: Has beautiful reasons for studying Japanese.
Me: I just want to annoy my family and friends. By remarking their cringey jokes! XD
to be real.. this is one of the better "how i study japanese" videos. it's hella budgeted and anyone with a phone and some paper could do these. really helpfull... and radwimps are fire!
Hello mak! Thank you so much for watching and supporting. I am so glad you find these tips helpful. Best of luck on your studying journey! And yes, Radwimps are fire! Haha. Stay safe always!
Try your local library! Maybe I am lucky because I live in Chicago. The downtown library has like 7 floors. And they have many books for learning Japanese. Hopefully your library does too.
This is more realistic.
Step 1 for every video ive ever seen when someone is learning Japanese: Go to Japan, or live in Japan. Ah yes. Money I never possess
I think it's because these people are more confident in their learning of japanese than your regular person that only uses duolingo or only has JPLT N5. Learning the characters is already halfway through learning the language when it comes to those that don't use italic letters.
It's brought up so often because, most of the time, it's the absolute best option. Being around the language that you're trying to learn helps you make more connections to how tone changes the meanings of the words. It forces you to pay attention and familiarize yourself more
Yeahhh practice writing a page of Japanese a day and watch Japanese childrens learning shows on TH-cam helps me a lot
Those reiterating that it’s the best option from an educational standpoint, looking at it in a vacuum, and mischaracterizing her actual comment, you’re avoiding her whole point.
Most Japanese citizens are rascist so I don't think I can go there sadly
I really want to learn Japanese to just grow my knowledge and make me feel like I'm accomplishing something as well as indulging my interest in another culture and a new world. I know Arabic since I'm born in the middle east. So I thought that going on a journey to be multilingual might be nice as well. I'm just 14 but I do want to learn a lot and I'm interested in languages.
People should make their notes look organized so they want to look at them more and memorize it!
"It's impossible to learn multiple languages at once"
My school with French, English and Portuguese*
My mum with Russian*
Me with Japanese*
👁👄👁
It’s not really impossible, just incredibly difficult and not a good idea because you could mix things up between the languages.
Here's a nice article on it: www.brainscape.com/academy/learn-two-languages-at-once/
Edit: Some people don't seem to realize that learning multiple languages as a child is far easier and much more achievable than learning multiple languages as an adult. If you learned multiple languages as a child, it's a different story.

Hello Kiki! Thank you! This means so much! ❤️ Stay safe always!
@@LifeofMori what sort of stationary you use for studying Japanese can you please answer
Ture. My handwriting looks like a kid randomly drawing symbol or writing his imagining language. I'm just a beginner though.
Ikr. I have a hard time writing kanji in a smaller way as the other kana since they have more details.
kool love hello! I am using a mechanical pencil (Pilot Super Grip 0.5) and then the notebooks are all from the ¥100 store (Seria). ☺️ Hope this helps!
Reasons I wanna learn Japanese
-There’s a 75% chance I’ll move to Japan when I’m old enough :)
So I’m just now finishing out about the government in Japan. Thank for those who informed me. I probably won’t be going unless my family decides.
ily !!!!!!! ?
I'm going there for university in a couple of years and after that I'll probably stay :)
good luck it’s hard becoming a citizen
@@papparappa44 yeah I want to study in Japan but probably not because I'm poor. I don't want to go to Japan if it's just because of anime.

1:23 Wait, you studied only 1 year and 6 months!? You already passed N3 and your hand-writing is very good... It's amazing that you studied so fast.
Thank you for your comment! Means a lot to me! ❤️ I had a mindset when I first set foot to Japan that I will pass N4 on July 2019 and then pass N3 on December 2019. It was stressful at that time since I was juggling work and study but it was definitely worth it. ☺️ Anyway, best of luck on your studying journey! Stay safe always!

Hello alyanna! I just recently read your comment. Thank you so much for watching and supporting! 🤗 It’s really hard dealing with Kanji for the first time. What I did was start with the Kanji’s from the JLPT N5 level. Now I’m studying Kanji’s from both N3 and N2 level. Best of luck on your studying journey. Hope this helps! Stay safe always. ❤️
Life of Mori can you please help me on where to start!?!? So many places to start yet I don’t know 😔 also you’re Japanese sounds really good!
Have a book called nihongo challenge, you can begging for this its n5 and n4 kanji.
I suggest starting by learning radicals. Wanikani has a pretty solid method and the first 4 levels are free without about ~100 kanji. It gives you a really good method you can use even if you can’t pay for the rest of the levels, so I think it’s worth a try
Why doesn’t this have millions of views?!
Awww 🥺 This means so much! Thank you for your support! Stay safe always. ❤️

i like the culture and learning the different formalities used in Japan, because most countries are just casual, including the one im living right now. Japan just feels.. special to me? But yeah if you work really hard to learn japanese, its surely an achievement worth bragging about!!
My friends tricked me to join japanese club, thats why im here
HEHEH yes.
“listen to japanese music”
me: ahh... so memorizing fly high and hikari are weren’t total mistakes

This was helpful you earned my like 👍🏻
ありがと! This helped me so much I've been trying to study Japanese for a while now before I watched this I did actually started with katakana and the hiragana alphabet in written form first
Thank you so much for this! I've been studying for about half a year now and I was wondering what more I could be doing to improve. My studying routine is very similar to yours, so I felt very reassured! Plus you showed me some new methods to try too! I'll make sure to keep studying every day. Thanks again!
What did u learn so far? Kanji is the hard part for me..
@@diavens Well I've certainly fallen off of my studying since commenting on this video, but I've learned most of the basics. Hiragana, Katakana, and some vocab/grammar. But I'm slowly getting back into my routine, and that's gonna focus on Kanji!
@@jayceepenny It’s ok to have breaks sometimes ! Studying should never be a pain in the butt.
Lots of love
@@lilyg2526 Thanks so much!💕
@@jayceepenny no problem :))
When I’m older I plan to move to Japan and start a whole new life there greetings from America😊
when im older i wanna go to japan and be th coolest mom
YOUR HANDWRITING IS SO GOOOD!!
ほんとありがとう、もりさん！これらのtips は大いに役立ちます！日本語を始まり増しただけ、ほんと難しいです。おもに漢字です。
Latina learning Japanese here lmao- aight I just started learning today (on duolingo 😳). Ima write some of the stuff I know with hiragana :) “くもり” “なつ” “よる” “やさい” “しろ” and “くろ” (which translate too uhhh- “cloudy” “summer” “night” “vegetable” “white” and “black”). I only know about 1/4 of the hiragana alphabet (is that how you call it?). Anyways wish me luck ya’ll ✌️🤪 im bringing takis to school tomorrow if y’all want some 😏😏 my reasons are:
•For flexing (you don’t see latinas speaking Japanese 👀)
•Ill feel better about myself
•I get jealous when I can’t understand someone
•I have no idea where to start but I always like starting fresh
•うんち
You should try Imabi (Website, Lots of vocabulary and grammar explaining) Has helped me alot on understanding Kanji, sentence structure, particles and more. Also use Anki for flashcards, it helps in remembering kanji.
What’s Unchi?
The last point truly shows that you are a woman of culture. 😏
wait but why poop..? i’m confused ;v;
Learning Japanese seems cool! I’m stuck on learning that or Arabic, haha
a few of my reasons to learn Nihonggo is;
1. so that my family wouldn't have to spend extra money for a translator when we go to Japan haha (since i keep bugging them about it)
2. so that i can translate videos/tweets of popular/underrated japanese creators
3. so i can multi task while watching anime at the same time haha
4. so that i can make friends online and communicate with my favorite singers, artists, and seiyuus ^-^
your video helped me a lot! ありがとうございます！今日も明日もがばりましょう！(*^_^*)
Never lose that hunger to learn Japanese. Those are great/valid reasons, if I do say so myself... and I do. Hehehe! Good luck in your language journey!
@@michaelreyes2287 thank you so much! ^^
There's this one Japanese artist that I really like and she's currently making a manga. There were no Eng translation for it. When I told her I hoped there's going to be English translation for it, she responded she couldn't afford to get an accurate one. I was saddened by it so now I'm trying my best to learn it.
@@cherry414 awww, good luck with learning!! lets do our best together! i hope you'll be able to read it soon ^^
@@sakura_socks Yeah hopefully! I would love to give her free translation. I'm also thinking of working in Japan too so let's do our best!! :D
thank you for sharing...
its a big help for me.
i am also learning nihonggo right now. and starting practicing kanji.
thanks for sharing your apps, what you read, and what you do.
As a begginer it is really really a big help for me.
i started writing katakan, and hiragana and now kanji.
but as a learner, i dont have books. I just listen a japanese songs on how they pronounce. and watching videos
ありがとうござます that's all I can say for now but I will surely practice harder and your video was amazing.
Mori: i've been studying for over a year and a half and i've passed the test for n3 and n4.
me who's been trying to learn for only a few days: sweating profusely
“It’s fun talking to you” Awww you must’ve made the driver’s day 💖💖
Thank you for sharing this!
love watching late vlog heheh- a perfect company while doing journaling ^^
the aesthetic of this video is so cute! i'm a small youtuber and i am interested in learning japanese as my third language. thank you for this video 🌸 otsukaresama desu! (i'm not sure if i use it correctly here)
Hello! You can do it! ☺️ Best of luck on your studying journey! Stay safe always. ❤️
I started learning japanese about a week and a 1/2 ago, and i’ve been currently losing motivation for it, but this just reminded and encouraged me to continue! I wanted to learn japanese so I could watch anime without subtitles, and sing some japanese songs that make me happy, thank you for encouraging me again!
Are u still doing it??
@@its_.obsession595 I also want to know dude how's going cuz I also lose my interest on learning Japanese after 3 months
I subscribed now. It might be helpful for me 😭☺️ thank you so much for this
Thank you for this. 🥺 You are right, it’s a sign to continue studying Japanese. You’re video made me realize how and why I really wanted to pursue it. 🎀 🌸
My inspiration for learning Japanese is:
Watch my favorite romantic movie without subtitles and *cry in Japanese* 😁😂
I like that movie since I was 11 years old and now I'm 16 and I think that gonna be my favorite movie forever😁
Hello vilu isi! That’s great to hear! Would you mind sharing that movie to us? Sounds like a great movie. ☺️ Anyway, best of luck on your studying journey! Stay safe!
My inspirations for learning Japanese!
• I want to live in Japan + work in Japan when I'm older
• I want to speak multiple languages, including Italian, Spanish, and Korean (I only speak English and French)
• I love the Japanese culture so much. I really wish I was born in Japan 😂
• Bragging rights ...💀
• I want to listen to Japanese music / write music in Japanese / write stories in Japanese. It *looks* cool, and English is really basic and kinda ugly :')
So yeah, those are my reasons for wanting to be fluent in Japanese! I have a long way to go but I anticipate the ride :) 🤍
Same!! Except the second part, I kinda want to learn only japanese but I guess learning different languages might also be cool! 😎
All the reasons are like mine but I also want to be a voice actor in Japan and speak it in Japanese
@@analongoria3793 ohmigosh that would be so cool!! That would be so fun 🥺
@@niiyon4852 haha I agree (obviously 😂) I'm not sure if I'll actually be able to learn any more, but it's my goal!!
you can just listen to vocaloidx
I spent a few minutes admiring the handwriting, i really have to improve it. This video was very helpful ありがとうございます！
thanks mori, very helpful
