SOUNDS OF WAR
I started learning Japanese a couple months ago, and after working as hard as I could I am just starting to pick up bits and pieces in sentences. Its an awesome feeling! These series are very helpful, please keep making them!

How are you doing now?
Are you fluent now?
Mona is just so incredibly adorable. I love this series.
I love that you write the romanization of the hiragana and katakana in the episodes.. thanks! I just wish the audio was a bit louder at times... Excellent video. :)
You love that? That's the reason I can't use this channel. They are too distracting.
@@m.m.2341 bro he commented that 7 years ago
@@Absolute-. well these videos are old and there are sadly no newer ones.
私、先週にキミガシネを遊びて、マインチャラはけんどをし、このチャラを覚えて、とても面白くて、うれしかった。
日本語を3年間ぐらい勉強していて、最近、もっとたくさん話を分かり、うれしいになったことですよ。
I'm totally in love with this series!
I guess I need discipline, hard work, and patience over the years of learning Japanese language. Feels like I'm a martial artist fighting my own self during training. Procrastination and climb over the plateau from JLPT N4 to N3 to N2? is really hard to beat. Cultivation of the core skills of speaking, reading, writing, and listening is somewhat like the cultivation of attack, defense, mind and body relaxation, and spiritual/will power skills. Really hard to accomplish a career in being an interpreter. I need more devotion and passion in acquiring large amount of vocabulary and good sense of advanced grammar and speaking application, with real sweat and blood like a full time martial artist.
wow, you are a poet. wishing you good luck
im in Japan now. currently hovering around N3 level but need to improve my speaking.
面白いですね！ありがとう
僕は沖縄の武道の練習からこのビデオが好きです。おす
Another awesome video! :D
ありがとう～

Watashi wa kikku bokushingu wo yatte imasu!
I play kick boxing!
I just started taking Martial arts today! :D
3:17 和合という意味は「harmony」ですよ
興味を持っています。
I miss my years in Sendai!!!
What was so funny when she used 外見 (2:46)? Was that a little flirty of her?
It was a bit flirty because she implied that guys can also get fit.
I hope this helped! :)
thank you so much for the video :D
Very informative videos ! but it would be better if the camera moved less !
to apaixonado por essa repórter kawai ! ahaha
For the guy at 2:09 I would overcome my worries about the difficulties of learning japanese :D
He looks a bit like drummer guy from "Whiplash")
May you please let me know how you add the English subtitles to the video?
aaaa I found out hidden gems after awhile
@Easy Languages What would Really help is if you could put a literal translation in English, by that I mean using English words , but still in Japanese structure and grammar. that way we can learn to understand the Japanese sentence structure. it would help, even though English words organized in a Japanese sentence with the same Japanese grammatical rules may seem a little strange. It would be a great help. Is there a video that does that?
I don't see such a video because an English sentence in the Japanese syntactic structure would hardly make any sense or it might cause misunderstanding. Just as Neznam Odvojeno said. More better if you could work on it with an online J-E dictionary which is efficient.
I want to learn japanese so badly!
+GoogooEyedChihuahua This is for Japanese if you've been learning for like 3 years. lol so don't feel bad if you not picking it up with this. Basic conversational Japanese is muzukashiine
+bryan Johnson I've only been learning for 6 months and it's not that hard I doubt it takes 3 years because I can read and understand the simple sentences
@@MeanMisterMurph Statistically you probably are not even still learning
@@MeanMisterMurph It is hard and 6months is just scratching the surface
@@MeanMisterMurph wwwwwwwwww
Anyone else think the guy at 0:51 is cute? ^.^ Plus the guy at 0:39 looks like Dr. Youn on YT
這集比較多專有名詞呢>_
I use a notebook to block off the romaji but can’t see the english subs as a result lol
The last guy is a big cutie.
Gong fu is interesting.
I want to do Kendo now :c

Hi, everyone for this episode of easy japanese
Nihono no dojo ni kite imasu
We have come to the japanese "Dojo"
kyou ha budou ni tsuite ohanashiwo ukagatte miyou to omio masu
Today, I'm going to ask people about japanese martial arts
Judo wa itsukara hajimaten desuka?
When did you start judo?
shougakkou, maa monogokoro tsuita gurai kara desu
From elementary school, I guess from ever since I could remmember
Sore wa donna kikkakede?
What made you start it?
Maa chichioya ga juudojo de oshiete itanode, sorede
Well, my father was teaching at dojo, so
kendo wa itsukara hajimeterun desuka?
When did you start kendo?
kendo wa shougaku ichinensei no koro kara
I've been doing kendo since the first grade of elementary school
Ichinensei kara! Nagai desune!
Since the first grade? That's long
Juunen kurai
About ten years
Chuugakkou no toki kara?
Since junior high school?
Sou desune
That's right
Kikkake wa nan dattan desuka? Hajimeta
What was the reason? Why did you start
Kikkake wa yappari chotto kakko yokatta kara, hajime chai mashita
The reason was, well, it was kind of cool. So, I just started
Kakko yokatta kara. - Hai
Because it was cool. -Yeah.
Aikidou wa itsu hajimetan desuka?
When did you start Aikido?
Ano, daigaku haitte suguno koroni hajimetanode,
Well, I started right after I entred the university
maa ima sannnenme to iukotode
so this is my third year now
Hajimeta kikkake wa nandattan desuka?
What made you start?
soudesune, yappari, kono hakama wo haiteiru sugata toka
Well, I guess, its the way you llok wearing this hakama
de kou nanka ano, anmari chikara wo tsukawazu ano
and, I mean, you demonstrate the moves smoothly
nagareru youna, ano, enbu wo suru node
without using much power
sore ga sugoi kakkoii to omotta node hajime mashita
and I thought that was very cool, so I started.
Donna tokoro ga judo no miryoku desuka?
What do you think is attractive about judo?
nnn maa nan desou
Well, let's see.
ma hokano supootsu mo yatta koto arun desukedo
I've played other sports, but
yappari judo wa taijin supootsu'tteiuka, hito to kou
You know, Judo is the type of sports that really confronting with the opponent
hontou ni kumiatte yarun desukedo, sokode maa jibun no
by grappling with eachother. That is when your strength
chikara toka souiuno ga tameseru. Nanka
is put to the test. Like,
kick
kettari
sakka toka dato booru kettari suruja nai desuka
in soccer you kick the ball right?
sorega motto hakirir deruyouna kanjide
(in judo) it is more evident that you use your strength
jibun no chikara tamesareteruna'tte iu kanji ga
you really feel like your strength is put to the test
bokuwa maa tanoshimi no hitotsu kanaa to omoi masu
that's one of the things that I enjoy
Basukketo toka bareeebooru yori mo sugoi
I think that compared to basketballs and volleyball
tsurai tokoro ga ooi to omun desukedo
kendo is rougher
Ashino kawa muketari toka suruto, mou nanned mo yatteru to
Yeah the skin of the feet comes off, but if you do it for serveral years
ashi no kawa jitai ga atsuku natte kurunde
the skin of the feet itself get thicker and thicker
dandan joubu ni wa narun desu kedo, maa tsurai desune
so you will get used to it enventually but, yeah it still rough
feet
足
Ashi
kou, hashi de ashi tsumetaku nain desuka?
You're barefoot! Arent you cold?
Ashi wa sugoi tsumetai desu
My feet are very cold
Maa saisho hyuba no rensyu hajimeru toki wa yukaga tsumeta sugite
At first the beginning of the practice in winter the floor was so cold that
ashi no kankaku ga nakunaru to iu no wa yoku arimashitane
I would lose the feeling of my feet. This happend a lot
sou nanda. Nanka kou renshuu huukei toka mo mite,
I see. You know when I see you guys practice,
sugoi kinpaku shita kuuki ga attan desu kedo
there was a very tense atmosphere
kendo no seishin'tte iuno wa dou iu kanji nan desu ka
So, what's the spirit of kendo like?
kendo no seishin'tte iuno wa sou desune, "Onore ni katsu" to iu koto desukane
Spirit of kendo, I guess, is "to conquer yourself."
kou tsurai keiko gaman shite tsuzukeru koto ni yotte, onore ga migakareru
Even if the practice is very hard, you can improve yourself
to being patient and carrying on.
to iutokoro ga miryoku dato omoi masune
I think that's the attraction (of kendo)
Onore ga migakareru. Naimen teki nimo gaiken, gaiken to iuka
You can improve yourself... you mean both internally and the apperarance
Naimen, Naimen teki, naimen teki nimo sugoku tsuyoku nari masu.
Inside, internally, internally you can become strong
Hito koto de iu to... ee muzukashii desune
With one word, well it's difficult
Hee chotto matte kudasai
Emm, give me second
Zenzen daijoubu desu yo.
It's completely fine.
Juudo bu no suroogan toka mokuhyou nanka wa arun desu ka?
is there a slogan or any goals for judo club?
Surrogan? Etto, "fiikaru to genki" toiu. Sonna kanji de.
A slogan? Well, it's "Physical and Energy." Something like that.
Nanka kou, akarui kanji nandesu ne. -Hai
I see. It's a cheerful kind of feeling, huh? -Yeah
Hitokoto de iuto... "wagou" desu
with one word, it's "Wagou."
Kendou de tsuchikatta koto wa
Do you feel that you're applying what you acquired
higoro no jibun nimo ikiteru naa'tte omoi masu ka?
through kendo into daily life?
Hai. Mou Juken benkyou toka mo ikimashita shi,
Yes. I applied it when I was preparing for the college entrance exam,
hutsu ni higoro no ironna, sorekoso baito desu toka
and for many things in everyday life, espicially to my part time job
hutsuu ni ironna seikatsu de, hai
and various aspects of my life. Yeah
Sounanda. Ima no mokuhyou toka attara oshiete kudasai
I see. If you have any goals now please tell me about it.
Sou desu ne, ima no tokoro wa mazu nana daisen de yuushou suru'tteiuno ga
Well, for now, winning at the seven universities competition
Ichiban no ookina mokuyou de, maa shougai kendou wo tsuzukete iku'tte koto ga
is my biggest goal. Well, I guess continuing kendo throughout my life
ichiban no ookina mokuhyou desu ne
is my biggest goal
path
paTH
道
Michi
ima no mokuhyou wa yahari ken no michi wo kiwameru towa ikimasen kedomo
I wish I could say my current goal is to master the way of sword,
the goal
目標
Mokuhyō
shougai kendou toiu koto de isshou tsuzukeru koto ga ima no mokuhyou to natte orimasu
but my current goal is to continue kendo throughout my life.
Ima no mokuhyou toka areba
If you have any goals right now (please tell me)
Ima no mokuhyou wa maa chiimu no tame ni maa nana daisen de yuushou dekiru you ni
My goal for now is to become an athelete who can contribute to the team
sore ni kouken dekiru you senshu ni naru koto desu
so that we can win the seven universities competetion
Nana daisen'tte iu taaikai no yuushou wo mokuhyou ni, minna de gannbatteimasu
We are all working hard to win the seven Universities competition
Ima no kou mokuhyou toka nanka arimasu ka
do you have any goals for now?
Mokuhyou wa, maa nakanaka, aikidou wa sono shiai mo nai node
My goal is, I mean we don't have matches in Aikidou
mokuteki toka souiu tokoro'tte kanngae zurain desu keredomo,
so it's not easy to think about the purpose and stuff but,
ma, narubeku, mainichi sono, keiko, renshu wo suru'tte koto de
I guess by practicing everyday
ma, kinou yori ashita toka, umaku naretari
I hope tomorrow I can be better than I was yesterday
maa iro irona koto wa hakken dekitara iinatte omoimasu
and discover various things
interviewer
kendou'tte ken ni michi'tte kaku janaidesu ka
kendo, is written with "sword" and "way" (in chinese chracters), right?
Masuda san? ga omou sono michi'tte douiu mono desu ka?
What do you - Mr. Masuda- think that this mentioned "way is?
Ano, kendou no rinen'tteiuno ga arun desu kedo, ano
Well, there is something called "the principle of kedo"
"kendou towa ken no rihou no shuren ni yoru ningen keisei no michi de aru''tteiu
It says "kendo is the way to disipline the human chracter
through the application of the sword
noga arun desu kedo, maa yappari boku mo sono toori dato omotte ite,
and I really think that is true
ningen keisei no michi danatte ommotte masu. Hai
I do think kendo is the wat to discipline the human chracter. Yeah
Ningen keisei no michi, a, mou sore wa jinkaku teki nimo
The way to discipline the human chracter. So, you mean you can
kendou ni yotte kou jibun ga takamaru'tte iu koto?
improve yourself in terms of personality through kendo?
Hai, ano yapparu kendou to nichijou seikatsu toka
Yes, I often think kendo and daily life
souiuno wa tsuuzuru mono ga aruna to yoku omotte irunode,
have a common ground
yappa kendou ni yotte souiu
so you know I feel that
seikaku teki na bubun mo kitareareteru naa to hibi omottemasu
my chracter is trained by kendo as well
Uun, sou nanda, ganbatte kudasai ne. arigatou gozaimashita
Okay, I see. Good luck. Thank you so much
Kou kendou gi wo kira to, douiu kibun ni narun desu ka?
How do you feel when you wear kendo gears
Hikishimaru omoi de gozaimasu
I feel tightned up.
One question, why does she say hajimetan desu ka instead of hajimemashita ka? Is it like slang?
its 'ta' form. hajimemahita becomes hajimeta, ikimashita becomes itta, shimashita becomes shita and so on. it's slightly more casual
actually, i think its ndesu form, which shows emphasis
+Buu That's it 👍
When there is a ~n desu ka, it is asking a question that requires an explanation and the ~n desu when used in the reply, is providing an explanation for a question that was asked.
I hope that helps.
hajimetandesuka? conversational very flank feeling. hamimemashitaka? very polite, meaning same each other. thank you.
Do the japanese really think that aikido works?
tiene mucho potencial esta waifu!
How to learn Japanese easily?Watch Anime daily xD
+Ranjan Biswas not really, the way westerners and the japanese speak and think are different (s-o-v), so the title would be off all the time, and you couldn't catch and learn words like that. The only way is to read allot and learn new words all the time, and when you do that for a while you realise you need kanji... So, there's no easy way really...
+Neznam Odvojeno Thats true
@Moms Spaghetti nobody in real life uses such harsh,aggressive tone like how the language is typically in anime.
In reality,Japanese language is mostly spoken politely and respectfully so that's why I think watching anime is not recommended to learn Japanese.
Or just make sure you watch some anime that actually helps and don't end up watching some crazy JoJo adventures and shit like that lol
なんかeasy langauge シリーズあるあるだと思うんだけど、インタビューされてる側があんま受けたくない感じがする
This is definitely not 'easy Japanese ' ..
i mean it is... have you gotten better now?
Japanese is not easy
