You would be a great Japanese teacher. I wish you taught Japanese on your channel.
Thank you so much! I have done Japanese teaching and tutoring before, so I'll think about doing it on my channel sometime. :))
+Melodee Morita please....
+Melodee Morita I second that.
Thank you for the kind words! I've been receiving a ton of requests for it and tips as a bilingual TV reporter/MC/translator, so I may start doing that here or on my 2nd channel!😊💕 th-cam.com/users/danceandmelodee
If you'd like, please subscribe there as well b/c I create more lifestyle videos in both English and Japanese.✨
@@MelodeeMorita Please do! I help poor kids in Brazil to learn English and I am trying to teach some Japanese. I am not fluent in Japanese, but I am learning, little by little on my own, but I do want to help people go after their dreams, Japanese is in my dreams and some kids her ein our town, so I encourage them and I motivate them...if you ever make some videos teaching Japanese, that will inspire me big time!
I am half-Japanese due to my mother's side, and I was born in the United States. I grew up having American friends, and my mother never spoke to me in Japanese at home. It just felt so awkward. I have a little brother too, and he absolutely hates it when I try to talk to him in Japanese. My mother tried to teach me Japanese, but I refused when I was little. I was embarrassed. I actually was ashamed in elementary school that my mother made bento lunches because all of my friends made fun of me for it. I go to Japan every other year to live with my grandparents for the summer. However, I am not fluent at all. I forgot a lot of my Japanese. Also, learning with family members can be a little difficult because you don't learn formal Japanese as much. I'm trying to learn it all back again through school, but I wish I could learn more. You're my inspiration to keep continuing. ❤️
Your mother is very beautiful! You are so talented, you play piano, do ballet, learn languages, a successful youtuber, and work on Japanese TV...
+Saltanat Abdildina Aww thank you so much for the kindest words! xoxo
You are such a triple threat: kind, talented and pretty! Your message of encouragement to all of your viewers who have an interest in Japanese is so heartfelt. I am so glad I subbed to you. I listen and sing jpop so I am on my way :3
とても綺麗な日本語を話されているので日本に住んでいたとずっと思っていました😵
英語の勉強頑張ろうと思います！
+Haruka Yui とても嬉しいコメントありがとうございます！🎀✨
何かご質問などありましたら、いつでもコメントしてくださいね(*^_^*)
yli abraicadabra 英語を話せますか？ありがとうございました
Watching a TV show that you really love in another language really helps really helps learning the language, that's how I started to learn english.
I'm like you except my situation is opposite. My parents are from America, but I was born and raised in Japan.
I speak both Japanese and English.
I find that the older I get and the less time I spend with my parents, my English is getting worse. I constantly find my self forgetting English words and having to use a Japanese to English dictionary.. Lol
that's cool! English is too mainstream anyway
Melodeeさんの英語はもちろん、日本語もとても聞きやすくて綺麗だと思っていましたが、その裏には素晴らしい努力があったのですね！Thanks for sharing your experience!
メロディーさんはとても努力家なのですね！
努力をする女の人はとても美しいです。
いつも笑顔で私たちに良いビデオを届けてくれて嬉しいです。
あなたのビデオから英語を学ぶことが多々あります。
これからも笑顔でいてください！
Wow..♥︎ Thank you for making this video Melodee! I recently made it a goal of mine to learn a new language and was considering Japanese. Then I have been kind of slacking off on taking real actions towards it, but your video inspired me so much! :D Yes! Please make more videos that help with learning Japanese. I would love to watch them! ♥︎
+JentleStrength So happy to hear that! Japanese is a difficult but very beautiful language. If you have any questions or tips you'd like to ask, feel free to contact me any time and I'll do my best to help! :) xoxo
yeah
I studied japanese all 4 years in high school and we used the adventures in japanese series too!
SO happy that you made this vídeo. Thanks a lot Melodee!!!
OMGAAHHH little Melodee speaking in Japanese and saying the poem in English at the very end was SOOOO FREAKING ADORABLE!!!! (T____T)❤️❤️ thank you so so much for making this video even though you are so busy. can't be more proud and happy for all of your achievements!!!
I like to read childeren books. It helps me learn new words and improve my reading.
うちの子も日本語を一人で勉強してお友だちとは英語しか話さないので、こういう動画との出会いは”自分は一人ではない”と思えるらしくとても励まされたようです。ありがとうございました。
This was SO HELPFUL! Thank you so much. I can't wait to see the rest of your Japanese teaching videos. 💕
こんにちは。
初めて動画を拝見したとき、とても言葉遣いの美しい女性だなあと思いチャンネル登録させていただいたのですが、その完璧な日本語が本当に独学だったと知り、驚きました。大変な努力をされて身に付けられたものなのですね。
日本語で生まれ育ったから日本語を話すといっても、メロディーさんのような美しい日本語を話せるかというと自信がありません。反省。
小学生の時の日本語から少し離れてしまったときのお話は、聞いていて胸が締め付けられるようでした。でもそこで、教えてあげているのにと思うのではなく、自分が役に立てていないと悲しみ、役に立ちたいと考えるところが、今の優しくて美しくて聡明なメロディーさんを作ることになったのですね。
わたしは日本語が第一言語ですが、日本語を学ばれる方ならではの視点があって、とても興味深く見ました。
また続きを楽しみにしています！
+mumpuku51 こんな風に言って頂けると「この動画を作って良かった」とつくづく思います。この様なコメントを下さるmumpuku51さんは心の澄んだ温かい方だという事が伝わって来てホッコリさせて頂きました。有り難うございました😊✨
Thanks for the tips melodee-chan! 😁✌🏻️💕
Thank you for doing this video, Melodee! You're very inspiring and I'm definitely going to follow your tips to improve my Japanese skills ♥
This was so helpful and really interesting!
Thanks for sharing!!!
your video is really informative and you are always a source of inspiration.
Omg!! I got so excited when I saw this in my sub box! Love you Melodee, and it's great to have you back ☺️💕💕
Definitely going to try the textbooks and TV drama method. Thanks melodee!
Thank you this is so helpful and Japanese teaching videos would be AMAZING and beneficial to my learning. Love your videos Melodee.
by far the most helpful tutorial I've encountered :)
This is great!! Love this video!
This is a great and helpful video! Thanks :)
thank you for the tips! more videos like this would always be appreciated
+slimed AMV You're welcome! Hope I can make many more :))
This was really helpful because I been wanting to learn Japanese and learn more of the Japanese culture, thank you!
I've been expecting you to update your channel and there you are! I think the way you explained in this video is also a good one for learning any kind of new language. Thanks, Melodee.
quite useful tips!
Great tip for watching dramas at the end! Going to try it out :) Thank you Melodee~
Thank you for this video, miss Melodee! I actually have a Japanese class later (I didn`t take it on "purpose", it`s really a required subject for my course). Japanese is one of the languages I`ve been wanting to learn since I was about 10 years old! Your video just motivated me to learn Japanese more! I hope you upload more videos about learning the Japanese language. Have a great day!
Omg I just found this channel and it’s Awesome!!!
I love the way you wear your smile while you speak:) Also, thoroughly enjoy your childhood vids. Thank You for sharing your insights.
wow! missed you Melodee welcome back😊
日本語の発音や言葉がとても美しくてうらやましいです！日本で育ったのに。。日本語も英語ももっと上達したいので、これからの動画楽しみにしています！
i think you're amazing. thank you so much for your help !! arigatou gozaimasu!! i'm starting to study japanese while living in Italy, just because i love the culture!!
Hi! I'm from Taiwan. I really want to learn English and Japanese fluently. Watching your video really inspired me to learn. So please to Create more great teaching video!!!!
Beaucus of you I am learning Japanese now. You're the one who introduced me in this beautyfull language with you're vlogs.
I admire you so much!! You inspire me! Thank you for share this video! 😁 💕
Loved little Melodee!! I'm half Japanese and I do want to improve my basic Japanese language skills... Would love to see more videos on this subject and also that clip from the Esmeralda variation!! Thank you so much!
勉強になりました。
お気に入りのドラマを見つけて
私も英語が好きになれる様に努力します。
My mum (who is Japanese) showed me this video ages ago and I watched it again. It's SO relatable! Even though I go to 補習校, my Japanese still pretty limited. I make common mistakes all the time. I used to say 質問を聞く instead of 質問をする. この動画を作ってくれてありがとうございます!!
I love how you expressed my true feelings when I just got back to Japan back in the summer of 2002, after 5 years of elementary school in Brookline, Massachusetts due to my father's job !!
Melodeeさんは元々スラスラと日本語を話せると思っていたので、こんなに努力をしていたということにとても驚いたし感動しました！
それで今は通訳などのお仕事をしてるだなんて、本当に尊敬します(T_T)
I love every video you have released. My favourite channel on youtube. i have been having trouble memorising the hiragana and katakana characters. But this video has motivated me into studying harder. I hope to be able to have a conversation with some one in Japanese. Thanks
I always assumed you were taught both English and Japanese at home and in school since you were a kid! Mindblown now.
Thanks, this was helpful, especially the part about watching dramas
that's the video I've been waiting for😍thank you,Melodee😘😘
+Eirene Sparkling YAY! I'm glad I decided to finish this up to upload before I leave this week for Asia :)
+Melodee Morita have a safe trip😘 hopefully see more videos when you back😄
I love your tips! I'll have to try your tip on watching a film to help undertstand.
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…
Thanks for the tips. Now I am going to rewatch great teacher onizuka over and over. ☺
She talks clearly and it's easy to listen to.
I find it interesting how you found inspiration in such unique ways. I always find the most random things inspire me to get studying.
Vocabulary is such a frustrating thing for me too. It feels like such a conversation killer when you have to look up lots of words and such.
Great video :)
Really interesting video!♡
I've been learning Japanese for about 5 years, mostly at Uni... but I really lack the motivation to study by myself so that's something I would love to work on to better my Japanese!
YES more Japanese teaching videos please! Maybe even some about Japanese culture? I always look forward to your videos!!
I love your videos. :) I wanted to learn Japanese, but I gave up a few times as it looked so complicated. I will try again. Thanks for making this video.
Gohan means food? Huh. Suddenly Dragonball Z makes a lot more sense now.
Ikr!!!
gohan(ご飯) means rice
+Carlos R vegeta is from vegetable, decades later they brought out a new character that he has a brother named "taahble"
well every dragon balls names and term has the food vibe in them even for saiya[n] -> yasai means vegetable
gohan means rice but they usually use it as a replacement word for tabemono because they eat it so often
いつもたのしくみてます***
This is awesome! The textbooks and workbooks are the same one my Japanese teacher uses 😁
I wish I had a teacher like you! I would learn Japanese in 2 days!
I have to say this but that video of you as a little girl at the very end was so cute and unexpected lol.
I found your channel with the video of you reacting to Logan Paul and I loved the way you spoke so naturally/fluid in Japanese and wanted to see your other videos. This was very helpful, thank you so much !
I loved this video. It was inspiring and beautifully presented and it really "upped my game" as it pushed me into a higher intelligence level of achievement and relentless dedication. Many thanks.
Thank you for sharing the song. That song is meaningful!
Yes, it is such a beautiful and touching song that means so much to me.💖 Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video! I am actually trying to do the same thing that you are doing now. But I've been struggling with improving my language ability.
Thank you!
there is a japanese children's channel called BabyBus 子どもの動画 I've found it really useful to improve. And if you struggle with kanji, I'm making short animations with mnemonics to make them unforgettable. がんばってヾ（＾ヮ＾)ﾉ
メロディーさんの動画初めて見たけど日本語がすごく綺麗。私よりすごく綺麗。アナウンサーみたい
finally,a new video from you! haha love your channel! only a few minutes and already lots of views and comments. you're getting really popular 😊
+mikah ong Aww thanks so much! I saw that a lot of people have been repeatedly asking where my new videos were, so I did my best to get this out now. :) so happy to see that a lot of you guys found it helpful!
Thank you so much for this video. Very inspirational. I'm learning Korean and sometimes I get really discouraged with how limited my vocabulary is in miscellaneous situations, even if I diligently study. I'm so terrified to make mistakes that I prevent myself from spontaneously speaking without thinking hard about grammar and pronunciation first. Hopefully I can change that from your advice! Very impressive, you really motivated me to keep trying. Love your channel.
Hi Melodee, we've missed you so much!! Please upload videos more often!
I'm so happy you uploaded this! I love your videos so much. I'm a Malaysian and I'm trying to learn Japanese here haha :)
I'm a half Japanese and I've been living in the Philippines my entire life... I know Filipino because I live with relatives who speak Filipino all the time even though I go to an English school. I'm studying Japanese now so I can communicate well with my father ^^
Melodee! could you please do a vanity tour!? Thank you so much for your inspiring videos!! :)
Meldoee, i loved watching this video. I have always wanted to learn Japanese, but i am a bit hesitant at doing so. Nice video as always and keep up the great work. :)
thank you so much for this video. I could've learn the language a long time ago but because I thought it was super difficult and had no one to talk to about it, I never really start. but yea, I thought I was the only one who always watch the same dramas over and over again, but then it does help with memorization. I even say the lines a second before the character does, too. I always watch 1 litre of tears(movie and drama ver.) whenever I feel down because it motivates me not to give up. then again, I'm learning the language at the same time.
I love Yuzu. I listen to Japanese music all the time but I think never really look into the translation because of the laziness haha.
please make more videos like this
You are so amazing. Learning Japanese is so hard and for someone to fully master/speak fluently takes a lot of time and effort
You are perfection, Melodee :)
Hey Melodee:) this video was super helpful! I'm half japanese half spanish and even though I went to 補習校, I do struggle sometimes with my japanese learning process, and I feel that my brain is not big enough to learn and memorise all the kanjis... My speaking is fine. But my reading and my writing omg.... Love your videos!!
This is so great Melodee !
For me too - My mum is french and I mostly cooperated speaking in it since I was little, but my mum said it's hard because when children hear their friends speak in English and go to an English speaking school I guess they feel embarrassed and don't want to speak in their second language..or it's too much effort. And it's also difficult because I have never studied it ! But I'm so grateful that my mum persevered with me because speaking 2 languages helps me to learn more languages more easily ! People have this huge expectation like you said, and we feel pressured to speak fluently. I think I'm maybe 99% fluent in the whole language, because I speak all the time in french with my mum and my french family :) sorry this is long it's jut great to talk about it and watch your amazing video that I'm sure is helping lots of people ! Thank you so so much, we love you ! ❤
とても聞き取りやすい英語で、字幕を見なくても理解できました！
英語で同じことをやってみようと思います。
本当に綺麗な日本語ですね･･･
Thank you so much Melodee for sharing your Japanese learning experiences with us! You're Japanese sounds so beautiful and perfect that it's hard to believe that you learned it later in life as a second language! It's a pity that girl laughed at you for not knowing the word for intestine instead of realising and appreciating the amount of time and effort you were taking to just help her. How long did it take you to reach such a high level of fluency?
I'm really happy you made this video! I'm half-French, and it's exactly the same situation for me. :( I lived in England since birth, and my papa was a chef so I hardly saw him, so my French has always been limited. I speak Japanese now (lol) and will be picking up French again soon! It's so nice to have someone to relate to
wow very useful for Japanese beginners like me!
+Yuwei Wang Thank you! very glad to hear that :)
This video had some really great ideas. I've gotten into some Japanese music and would love to know what some of these songs I enjoy so much mean. Thank you for the ideas and sharing your experiences, Melodee :)
I really love this video, and I'm so glad I gave it a chance and clicked on it. I'm new, and I've always assumed that you grew up in Japan and learned English so I was surprised when it was the other way around. I grew up in Canada but my roots are in Korea, and I have the same problem, having to relearn the Korean language. This really motivates me to go back and study the grammar and actually converse with others. Thank you, and I hope you're doing well ^ ^~
初めまして。
最近、youtubeでMelodeeさんを知り観させて頂いています。
本当に日本語がとてもきれいで日本育ちだと思いました！
私は今、バンコクに住んでいて英語の勉強中です。なかなか友達もできず英語を誰かに話す機会が少ないですが、Melodeeさんのyoutubeを観て、頑張ろうと思いました！
またたくさんの動画楽しみにしています。
I was taking Japanese classes in Ft Lee, but had to stop b/c of school. I still have my workbooks, so when I have time I try to do a little bit. My friend grew up with Spanish in her house, but like you, she and her siblings respond in English. I wish I had grown up in bilingual household...
You are awesome person.You made me brave to speak English again. Coz my psychology was same condition as you were. I'm from Japan.I'm so greatful for your story. People need sharing "trying&error" stories recently to get success. am expecting you keep doing it.Respect.令和元年になりました。貴重な失敗から得た確信のお話、ありがとうございます。とても説得力があり勇気が湧きますのでこれからもそういう成功者であるあなたの失敗談や弱さをあえて出していただけたらと私たちは思います。かっこいいバイリンガルたちの動画は山ほどありますからね。
I would love to have a video of the non-direct translations! This is something I am struggling with right now being a Japanese language learner studying in Japan (being a native English speaker) Thank you for a great video!!
YESSSS! Every time you mentioned this on your snapchat as your most highly requested, I was hoping it would be this video and when I saw it in my subscription box I was so excited!
+Nina Ollenburg So glad to hear that! Yayy, and thank you for following my snaps, too! :) xoxo
Thank you for always replying to my comments, haha! All the best for your work travels :)
相当努力をされてきたのだと思います。私は今カナダに5ヶ月間留学中ですが、自分もミスを恐れずに頑張りたいと思います！
Thank you for your tips. I'm from the Philippines. I took formal Japanese lessons bec of my interest with Japanese culture and food. I admit feeling embarrassed when I make mistakes but after watching your video, I don't feel bad anymore.
Thank you so much
Oh my gosh! I went through a similar experience in elementary school! I stopped going to Japanese school in like 2nd grade because of the commute struggles. And then in 5th grade someone from Japan moved to my area and was in the same class as me. I had to be a translator, and because of my limited knowledge of Japanese, it was a huge struggle! But after that, I really wanted to learn more and more Japanese so my speech is pretty fluent now! I think these tips will help me / motivate me to learn more Kanji! Thanks for uploading the video!!
+Kensational8011 Wow! Thanks for sharing your story! It's really nice to be able to connect with people like you and be able to talk about our past + think of how we can work towards our future goals. :) I'm continuing to learn each and every day as well. Thank you for watching!!
もう私には英語を話すのは無理と諦めていましたがこういう方法もあるんですね！まだまだ頑張ってみようと思います！
hi! I just randomly found your channel and Im loving it. My grandfather is a japanese but I grew up in the Philippines so I dont speak japanese. I can only understand and talk the very basic ones. After I graduated til now, Im living in Japan for almost 5years but Im still having a hard time learning japanese. I hope I could be able to talk like you do.
i also love 栄光の架け橋 so much! :)
The Japanese card games looks so cute and it seems fun to play.
I agree soooooo hard with the rewatching idea. I do this for music/did this for Mandarin and the results are astounding!
