My mother was from Osaka, I was born in Tokyo, and moved to the States when I was 2 years old. Unfortunately, my American father insisted that we speak English at home and since he was in the military, we moved often and I was unable to attend any Japanese schools. I am struggling to learn Japanese in my old age (63 yo) but visited my cousins in Japan in 2017. I hope to improve and go back to Osaka in the near future.
I'm Japanese, born in California and never learned from my parents as they were both born here as well. I'm now 58 and also struggle to learn Japanese. I visited in 2018 and was planning to go back this year in Oct, but not able to due to the conditions. The visit is moved out to May next year, I hope to learn a little more by then. がんばってしましょう
Download a game called VRchat on PC and start practicing speaking Japanese with Japanese people and weaboos. I learned so much Japanese in just 4 months from people in the game. I also met a 55 year old Japanese man there who started learning English at age 50, he spent 3 of those years learning English in the game, and he's the second best English speaking Japanese I've met in the game. Also try Pimsleur to see if it helps.
Thats crazy, we have such a similar story. My mom is also from Osaka and I was born in Tokyo and I went back to Osaka also in 2017! I moved to America when I was three and grew up there so my Japanese is terrible unfortunately! I am studying now and slowly getting better. Just be patient and consistent and you will definitely improve, good luck!!
The Kansai dialect having more variations of words and meanings and the form of speaking with others persons is very different, for this reason the Tokyo dialect is more formely for teaching, but in the schools ubicated in Osaka and Kyoto it's the opposite
I left Spain over 8 years ago and I completely forget words. Then when I look them up I feel ashamed to forget so obvious words... Now I'm living in Japan and we'll see what happens, I may end up being bad at all three languages.
I’ve been to Japan 3 times . I love Japanese everything , culture , food , technology . You’re a great representative of Japan / Japanese people . Are your grandparents in Japan 🇯🇵? What part of Japan are you guys from . I’ve been all over Japan .
I really like seeing other people speak Japanese and English even though I don't understand the meaning myself😊😀 My name is Khoirul Anam from Pangalangan, Macajah, Tanjungbumi, Bangkalan, Madura, Jawatimur Indonesia
Growing up, I spoke spanish at home only and out in public English 1979 my friend Steve Kawasaki was picked on and I was expelled from school, but the next day. Her mom picked us both up and took us the Norwalk Japanese American community center. I learned Judo and kendo and learned some Japanese for about three years. Today, I practice Kendo , Aikido and speak a little Japanese which I have many friends from South America who are Japanese but speak spanish. I like it when I am in Gardena ca and shopping at store and they like speaking spanish and everyone wonders what happen. Yes, I also have several Koran friends from Mexico and South America who also speaks fluent Spanish. I call them Asian latino anonymous which once we become friends and meet there family they are speaking spanish and Japanese or Korean and Spanish. And my Chinese brothers who travelled the world also speaks some spanish. I am learning Japanese again, but I am using spanish podcast which its much easier then english.. When I speak spanish its passion When I speak English its logical. No emotion When I. Speak little Japanese , its being polite and not making other person angry at any cost.... Two weeks ago my friend kanji from japan visited me, we went surfing which he surfs in japan. I introduced him as Jay. He didn’t like it, but Jay sound tough.... We went to little Tokyo downtown Los Angeles and Alvira street. I told him about spanish and Mexican culture which was here first. He loved it and now understands the cowboy movies. The first cowboys were from Mexico....
I think in English when I am talking with English speakers, or in the mindset of English, but when I am around Japanese speakers, I think in Japanese, in the Japanese mindset. That's why I find it hard to type in English and listen to Japanese, and similar to reading Japanese when in an English mindset.
I don’t watch the video yet but in fact that’s not just about hand gestures, a lot of person “change” their personality when they switch language, it’s pretty interesting
Zénó This is the case of people who get an idea of typical behaviors based on cultural codes associated with the ascuis language, when they speak it they put these behaviors into practice which may explain the emergence of new personality traits. I used Google translate xD
@@Borderose I'm bilingual too, but both languages are very related (catalan and spanish). Maybe I'm a little more direct speaking spanish, but I don't feel like I'm a "different person".
I’ve spent a lot of time in primary schools in Osaka and I can report that the teachers (probably a hundred or more individuals) I worked with almost exclusively used Kansai dialect when speaking to students. The national language (国語) curriculum is of course the standard dialect, but from my observation, even as this is being taught Kansai dialect is the medium.
Totally! I grew up in a bilingual environment; a side effect of that is that I sometimes struggle to speak either language "cleanly". I moved into an 英語だけ area a few years back, so I get all the なつかしい feels hearing Nihonglish again. :)
I’m also a japanese english bilingual (i learned english as a second language though) who studies cs in North America, but it’s really difficult to find japanese speaking communities or even clsssmates.
@@valorzinski7423 I've been considering using VRChat myself to find some Japanese people to chat with but I've been too lazy or always sidetracked with Beat Saber instead. 😅
feeling represented by you, telling about growing in a house with parents speaking in japanese and using words in japanese that don't exist in other language. it's an unique experience to be bilingual, arriving home and saying "tadaima" or saying "itadakimasu" before a meal. I appreciate all of this in my life (i'm half brazilian and half japanese, trying to learning english)
I found out that when you speak English you look more active and, when you speak Japanese you look quite tranquil doesn't it? =D it's so interesting languages affect your kind of personality.
My wife is Japanese (I'm a NZer) and we raised our daughter to be bilingual. It was tough on my wife because of the tears and mini-rebellions, but I think it is paying off now that our daughter is almost 15. By the way, your Japanese was so easy for me to understand. Much easier than a 'Japanese-only' speaker.
This is encouraging to hear. Our situation sounds similar. A bit of resistance now and again from our lad, but I keep trying to positively reinforce how much he'll appreciate it later in life. It's tough sometimes for a 7-year old to grasp 'later in life'...
For me since I live in Alabama, there is no Japanese here, so I mostly talk to myself in Japanese and my cat :). However keep in mind I moved here in 1999 when I was 10 and eventually I had to slowly relearn my native language considering there are no Japanese speakers here. Reading and writing is a different story...
I wish there were Japanese speakers in Alabama. It's my favorite language but it's extremely difficult and not very useful to learn a language that you cannot use to verbally talk to anyone (in person at least)
@@voidsabre_ very true! Only places I know of that have other Japanese people (besides myself) is KTH and Honda, but I rarely see them to be able to have a conversation :/.
I froze when I heard your "honma" for the first time. Even replayed that part a couple of times just to confirm lol I never thought you would speak in Kansai-ben! I agree Kansai-ben is a soul language. I don't know why, but at work, when a colleague happens to talk to me in Kansai-ben, I instantly feel connected to that person and I feel like a more open, friendly and interesting person when I myself speak in Kansai-ben. And yes, I too find it more natural/on point to use Japanese to express body sensations and feelings. I'm not a native speaker of Japanese (and also English) to share the same reason as yours. But now that I think about it, maybe it's because of the way it is spoken, you know like いたっwith the little tsu gives a surprise feel, when うまー with prolonged a feels like you are complimenting with all your heart (breath, at least)
I've played this to my 7-year old (Japanese mum) - so, so good for him to hear that even though it sometimes feels unfair having to do extra study, it felt worth it. He understands, but it's great to hear it from a grown-up bilingual. Thanks a lot.
The struggle is real when you forget a word in the language you’re speaking in but know what it is in the other language. I’ve just accepted the fact that my conversations will be mixed.
I have that with japanese, german and english. Sadly most people around me are monolingual so in the end there’s this awkward silence bc I don’t remember that one word
こんにちは〜 I love your videos! Also grew up in US and Japan. I went to elementary school in US, up to 高校 in Japan. Then went to Nebraska to learn Computer Engineering. This month I started as a firmware engineer in Japan kind of wanting to go back to US lol. It’s hard since I’m a Japanese citizen and look Japanese but I feel like I’m half American. It’s hard being multicultural but also lucky!
これからも日本語で話している動画を出してほしいです 笑 まゆこさんが日本語を話しているのを見るのもすごく新鮮で良いです！ I hope you upload more videos in which you speak in Japanese. It’s so refreshing to see you speaking Japanese!
I'm also a Japanese American Software Engineer! I grew up speaking only Japanese at home and attended Japanese school on weekends, but since moving out I've definitely lost my skills, especially reading and writing. I don't know if this is just me, but when I go back to Japan, because my conversational Japanese is pretty good and I look Japanese, sometimes when I'm talking to someone they'll use vocabulary that I don't understand... but I just give a blank stare and an ...え？ Anyway, thanks for sharing your story, it's cool to see people with similar backgrounds representing!
What accent is that? It feels like her parents must've had a dialect and it's slightly in her speech EDIT: I shoulda commented after watching the vid fully
I'm a South Indian, most of us happen to speak 3 languages fluently Telugu (mother tongue in my case) Hindi (Learned it in school and also can get by in India almost anywhere with hindi) English It's common for Indians to be fluent in more than 2 languages
I’m learning Japanese and told my Indian coworker who said the same thing about fluency. I was shocked because in the US, unless your family stresses another language, the school and media is typically always English. He told me that it’s very common to speak more than 2, 3, or 4 languages in India! It sounds incredible!
I love that you have Kansai dialect! It’s amazing that you can speak both languages so fluently. You inspire me a lot as I’m Japanese learning English.
First generation immigrant here.. my 1yo baby girl just started to babble and I have been constantly arguing with myself what language should she grow up in. It’s awesome to hear you share your experience. Thanks for the great video :)
Okay, being trilingual is common in my country Indonesia. I got 5 language all together, it's Bahasa Indonesia, English, Ma'anyanese, Banjar and Betawi for me 😀👍🏻
I'd have to disagree. I think the difficulty stems from how much of the other language is similar to the one that you know. As I study Japanese (except for the loan words from English), I couldn't use anything I gained from English to better memorize Japanese, but I could use my Vietnamese to memorize all the kanji and compound kanji words, because we also use loan words from the Chinese, and in fact is how most schools teaches us
I'm half Japanese and half American and I grew up in Osaka (20yo rn). I'm pleasantly surprised that you speak 関西弁! いつもテック系の動画ありがとうございます~ It would be nice if we could create a Japanese/English community of people who are interested in tech for networking & sharing information!
I'm glad your parents forced that rule upon you! The schools in my area discouraged parents from using other languages at home because at that time they believed it would confuse kids rather than enhance their learning. To top it off, my mom loooved English, so I never really learned to speak Korean though I could always understand quite a bit of it. Now I'm in Korea trying to learn Korean at a business level and all the words from Chinese we use kiiiills me. Thankfully we don't really use Hanja (Korea's equivalent of Kanji), but there are so many times where someone uses a sino-korean word and I don't understand xD although to avoid confusion, some news articles and dictionaries will use Hanja for words that have the same spelling, but different meanings.
I felt this comment, today I got way too happy because I recognised a kanji in the wild and knew how to pronounce it and what it meant for the first time
Very interesting to see this perspective. I didn't fully realize it's harder to teach your kids Japanese than other Western languages. I'm Chilean, moved to Belgium, I always spoke spanish with my parents and I've always had a fair amount of spanish speaking contacts, basically meaning that I have plenty of opportunities to practise it. Spanish is my mother language, but here I also learn french and dutch and in highschool I got English too. (got some basic german too and I know some basic Japanese, hence why I'm here) To speak, that was easy for me, writing these languages was the harder part, in the last couple of years I even had spanish, meaning that's where I finally learned to properly write Spanish though I wouldn't say I have a good lvl, it's decent at best, but I can read just fine. I do have the luck of having the same Western alphabet for all these languages, kanji that's a whole other thing, I get the feeling even Japanese living in Japan struggle with it at times. Tv is in english here and I got access English speaking friends too, which in practise means in a single day I may end up speaking Spanish, french, dutch and English. I'm even lucky enough to have friends who speak all 4 of these languages and that is pretty hilarious to see, we can switch in between languages depending on the mood. The dreaming part is very interesting, in my case I speak all these languages fluently, to me it doesn't matter one bit which one you pick, going back to the dreaming part => I can dream in either of these languages. Each language is very different even within the same mind you just don't think the same way. There's some words and some concepts that just aren't the same. I think some people underestimate the cultural attachment there is to a language, as a japanese speaker you should know how important it is to know the cultural background to certain words & concepts, I think it's even more important in Japanese than in other languages. You can apply a similar logic to other languages. I've read studies on this subject and yeah it does seem like a different language also means a different way of thinking and expressing yourself. To give you a small example, french vs dutch culture is warm vs cold, dutch folk though usually friendly are a bit colder, less tactile than the french counterparts. I mean the basic way to greet, in the french part you kiss on the cheek, while in Flanders you either just shake hands or just nod at each other. When meeting new people, french folk will instantly act friendly and be open, while dutch will be more reserved and wait a bit to open up. Spanish culture and to be more accurate in my case Chilean culture is a whole other thing, same goes with English culture which in my case adapt to who I'm speaking to. I'm basically a mess of cultures and languages, I think I adapt to whoever I'm with, otherwise I don't really have a default mode. Looking back I did know these 2 (crazy) Japanese sisters and I can only imagine how hard it was for them to grow up here, they probably also struggled with Japanese, I know they did speak Japanese with their parents, not sure when they arrived here though.
Not teaching the kids the right way* With modern apps around, it should take the modern teenager 6 months to learn what their parents learned in 10 years. ( Assuming they want to learn)
As someone who spent their academic career studying Japanese and is now trying to transition more towards learning programming, your videos are super interesting and inspiring!!
You should speak japanese more often in your videos. It adds a little flavor of your personality in the videos i guess. It doesnt need to be much, a word more often would be enough to spark you personality and teach someone in this side. And its cool.
This is actually funny. I am "septalingual" My dad is Finnish. My mom is French I grew up in Germany I studied in the UK for 6 years. I worked in Japan for around 5 years. My girlfriend is Indian(Hindi). I took Swedish classes as well. I guess Americans should worship me now 😂😂
Doesnt mean shit. I was born in Japan til 6 yrs old, then lived in Korea until like 13. Then moved to the states since then. I took Spanish class in High school, and my ex girlfriend in relationship with is from France. So yeah, i do understand a bit all 5 different languages (Japanese, Korean, English, Spanish, and French) but once again this doesnt means shit to me, since I don’t feel confident enough for me to speak without struggling (except Korean and English I guess). It’s like, i know and took some classes of Ruby, Python, Go, C#, and Java, but I only put Python and Go lang only on my resume since those two languages are the ones I feel confident enough to be able to work and finish the project.
If you really wanna know about how to teach people Japanese I suggest Matt Vs Japan channel. He is probably the best foreigner Japanese speaker on youtube that knows how to translate his knowledge.
Matt’s methods are great but I don’t think it’s necessarily ideal for teaching young children. It’s a system designed for adult learners who don’t receive comprehensible input naturally. Raising bilingual children would most likely require a different approach. For example, sentence mining is a higher order skill designed for adults who can read their native language. As the children get older perhaps some other the methods could be useful for attaining higher levels.
@@夜神月-q9h I realise that she was brought up outside Japan, however I am specifically talking about the fact that he said speaking someones native language makes them lucky. That takes no context whatsoever, and I don't realise how you could misinterpret that.
See if any university Japanese conversation clubs host online discussions and are open to participants from outside of the school communtiy! I actually run a club for my school (in Canada) and do language/cultural exchanges on Zoom with student groups from Kansai and California. Great to come across a Japanese creator that is catered towards the English-speaking community btw, I don't see many out there tbh
Pentalingual here! lol (Indonesian, Sumbawanese, English, Javanese, Japanese) and that is so truuu when you think you just don't use language.. it's kinda interesting though how we can actually think of a complex ideas without wording it, or sometimes i accidentally use one of those languages without realizing it in the first place Anyway great video! Been learning Japanese for 8 months now and この動画の日本語喋る事が全部理解して嬉しい😂
Me too! I'm also full japanese, and born and raised in the US. My elementary school was an immersion school that taught in both english and japanese, and we also had some classes in japanese at my middle and high school. We go to japan every year during the summer, and during elementary school my parents gave me the amazing opportunity of attending a school in japan for 3 months. This was really beneficial to me for learning more about culture in school :) I'm currently in high school, and I also want to go into computer science! I think the main ways I keep up with my japanese is through online interactions (discord), youtube, anime/manga, and speaking at home. People sometimes ask me what "language" i think in, but I really think it's a mix of both. As for my "dreams", I'm pretty sure I dream in english?? Growing up bilingual really is a cool experience. If you're also bilingual, please raise your kids to be bilingual (even if they don't want to haha)!
yep! I'm in a server filled with people who want to learn english or japanese. There's also other bilingual people, join here: discord.gg/japanese@@hejoric
@@hejoric I speak 7-10 languages everyday on a game called vrchat on PC. It's a great game for language learning and practice (see youtube on how to use it for language learning)
being bilingual as Javanese and Indonesian... ah yeah.. my English quite good and i can read arabic because im a Muslim... and now... i still learn about Japanese... cause I'm a weeb... u wanna hear my story ?
I'm from México c: and i want to go to Japan to study a master in civil engenering, but damn, japanase it's so difficult. Any tips to learn japanese?! Thanks and good video ✨ you win a new sub
Yo también soy de México aprendiendo japonés Primeramente debes aprender el hiragana y katakana Para eso hay muchos videos aquí en TH-cam uno de los que conozco y me ha gustado es el de yuyu nihongo Te recomiendo el libro minna no nihongo lo puedes buscar en la red es el que yo he estado usando y me ayuda mucho con respecto a la gramática Para acostumbrarte al japonés mi profesor nos recomienda mucho ver doraemon o sasae san sin subtítulos ya que trata mucho sobre la vida cotidiana en Japón y nos hace estar más expuestos al lenguaje Si necesitas ayuda aquí estoy;)
Busca el canal Matt Vs Japan y verás porque no es recomendable aprender a través de libros de texto. Si quieres aprender rápido y de forma eficiente recomiendo la MIA: mass immersion approach. Búscalo y lo comprenderás. Suerte.
I revommand starting with hiragana and katakana, you can easily memprise all of them within a week using 2 articles from a web page called tofugu. Once that’s done, tackle the kanji, this is the most difficult task, but thankfully there are some amazing ressources like wanikani and many others... you can start grammar while studying kanji or after.
Hey Mayuko! Im a current college student right now and im going through the exact phase of figuring how to maintain my japanese that has been steadily getting worse lol 😅i will love to see a japanese q&a video! Also, my favorite variety show to watch and learn Japanese was 志村動物園 (rip) and i was wondering what variety shows did you watch?
I have to say it makes me so happy that your parents put the effort in and made sure that you knew your mother tongue and didn’t make you try to “fit in with the others” by telling you to only communicate in English (which surprisingly a lot of foreigner parents do when they move to countries such as America or England) On the long run, that does more damage than good cause how are supposed to respect other ppl/cultures if you aren’t aware of/don’t respect your own. Living in England im so happy being bilingual 😊
I also understand wanting to find a community of Japanese-Americans. Because of the fusion of two different cultures, we're not exactly like normal Japanese people nor Americans. The only people that I feel I can relate to are other Japanese-Americans, hence why my best friend is one. It can suck sometimes that the country of your ethnic origin has people that are completely culturally alien.
My native language is Arabic but I moved to Sweden when I was 7 and then started using English in school. Now at 20 I'm native level in all 3 languages and I learned German at an intermediate level in highschool. So I'm lucky in that regard. That said I'd definitely like to learn Japanese especially when the structure of the language is much different from the languages I know. Also btw I'm starting my bachelor's of science in computer science at the end of this month and your channel has helped with some info :)
I am the only one out of my siblings, my cousins, and the next generation up who speaks even a little Japanese. It is difficult to stay motivated to keep up with my Japanese roots, especially since the only ones currently alive who speak Japanese are my grandparents. Meeting other Japanese people, American or not, it is difficult to find people whom I can relate to on a cultural level. I see other Asian Americans casually speaking Chinese and Korean in my community, so it is hard to keep in mind that everyone’s cultural experience is vastly different and uniquely personal. Thank you, Mayuko, for sharing your experience. I hope that you find good community that is able to feed into your cultural identity. Stay safe!
I loved listening you speaking in Japanese. The sad thing about this video is that now I think learning japanese as an adult is an even harder task than I thought (and I already knew it was a struggle) :(
I like ur voice when u speak in English 😂 also Im glad i do understand both languages ☺ Me as a full- Korean, grown up in Japan n compare to my background, some of the parts I do relate which makes me laugh 😂😂 my parents speak Korean at home so i spoke to them in Korean. although growing up getting into high school, my Korean speaking getting bad.. So I stopped speaking in Korean although my parents spoke to me in Korean. i always talk to them in Japanese cuz its much comfortable compare to any other languages. Now im in a college student living in Korea and do Korean much better. But Zero language lol So I really proud of you 👏❤ Also being Bilingual is literally hard i know...
Make a separate Japanese TH-cam channel .. onegaishimasu! 🙏 That will help you to find a reason to use and improve your Nihongo skills .. and you might gain some Japanese followers which might help you get closer to your native community.. I'm not a English or Japanese native but I do like Japanese language more than English ☺️
I am like yourself completely japanese. I moved to the UK at the age of 5, but after graduating from Uni, i moved back to Japan. But having lived in the UK for 17 years, i consider myself a japanese londoner, billingual but prefer to speak in english coz it`s easier to express myself. I studied Computer Science and now I am a network engineer. Its very fascinating watching the fancy life style of someone from the West Coast, coz where I grew in the UK it was the opposite. haha The cultural aspect, your tech industry insight, your likeable personality are the reasons i follow your channel. I can relate to a lot of what you have been through, in-regards to growing up outside of Japan. Keep up the good work !
@@gtarules1 ye and let's conveniently ignore the part where you are expected to work overtime and pretty much forced to prioritise corporate over family.
Japanese-English bilingual developer here! I find myself saying「え、なんで？」or「マジかー」when there's bugs in my code. Plus I've lately found myself saying「ヨイショ」when getting off the couch... Definitely agree with needing more opportunities to speak/write/read Japanese here in the states. I've been noticing my Japanese regress since moving away from Japan 12 years ago
I think you're so cool to be bilingual in English and Kansai Ben! I am 100% Japanese/Osaka Jin, and have tried to raise my kids to be bilingual (English/Kansai Ben), but unfortunately, they did not learn it at all! One of them wants to learn the accent, but she says the intonation is complicated and hard to mimic. I am looking forward to more videos! 在米のオバチャンです。応援してますよ～。
mayuko I showed ドリフ to my kids when they were little!!! 😂 They became very familiar with Japanese style ギャグ but I should’ve shown them 吉本新喜劇 so they could’ve learned 関西弁 🤣 🤣
mayuko: I'm Japanese Canadian and went thru some similar experiences growing up in Canada. My family moved away from Japan when I was one and I was _forced_ to attend a hoshuko right up until the end of high school. tbh, I still have nightmares about Japanese school exams! XD Unfortunately, that experience scarred me so much that I completely lost any interest in Japanese... something I now regret as an adult, of course.

"ます" ("masu", sometime's shortened to a "mass" sound) is a polite verb ending, pretty much. It only works on verbs though, if a sentence ends with a adjective or noun you tend to use "です" ("desu", also shortened to "dess").
masu is the polite present tense form of verbs in japanese so you will hear that a lot on here but probably less so in conversational japanese where it's more in the standard form.

My mother was from Osaka, I was born in Tokyo, and moved to the States when I was 2 years old. Unfortunately, my American father insisted that we speak English at home and since he was in the military, we moved often and I was unable to attend any Japanese schools. I am struggling to learn Japanese in my old age (63 yo) but visited my cousins in Japan in 2017. I hope to improve and go back to Osaka in the near future.
I'm Japanese, born in California and never learned from my parents as they were both born here as well. I'm now 58 and also struggle to learn Japanese. I visited in 2018 and was planning to go back this year in Oct, but not able to due to the conditions. The visit is moved out to May next year, I hope to learn a little more by then. がんばってしましょう
頑張ってね👍
Download a game called VRchat on PC and start practicing speaking Japanese with Japanese people and weaboos.
I learned so much Japanese in just 4 months from people in the game.
I also met a 55 year old Japanese man there who started learning English at age 50, he spent 3 of those years learning English in the game, and he's the second best English speaking Japanese I've met in the game.
Also try Pimsleur to see if it helps.
Hi boomers🤯👋
Thats crazy, we have such a similar story. My mom is also from Osaka and I was born in Tokyo and I went back to Osaka also in 2017! I moved to America when I was three and grew up there so my Japanese is terrible unfortunately! I am studying now and slowly getting better. Just be patient and consistent and you will definitely improve, good luck!!
The Kansai dialect having more variations of words and meanings and the form of speaking with others persons is very different, for this reason the Tokyo dialect is more formely for teaching, but in the schools ubicated in Osaka and Kyoto it's the opposite
I left Japan and moved to England when I was 12. Now 15 years later, starting to forget some Japanese.....and finding Japanese community is not easy!
I wonder how many english people you've met that say "Ya'll" lol
Sardonyx *y’all
I left Spain over 8 years ago and I completely forget words. Then when I look them up I feel ashamed to forget so obvious words...
Now I'm living in Japan and we'll see what happens, I may end up being bad at all three languages.
I’ve been to Japan 3 times . I love Japanese everything , culture , food , technology . You’re a great representative of Japan / Japanese people . Are your grandparents in Japan 🇯🇵? What part of Japan are you guys from . I’ve been all over Japan .

Growing up, I spoke spanish at home only and out in public English 1979 my friend Steve Kawasaki was picked on and I was expelled from school, but the next day. Her mom picked us both up and took us the Norwalk Japanese American community center. I learned Judo and kendo and learned some Japanese for about three years. Today, I practice Kendo , Aikido and speak a little Japanese which I have many friends from South America who are Japanese but speak spanish. I like it when I am in Gardena ca and shopping at store and they like speaking spanish and everyone wonders what happen. Yes, I also have several Koran friends from Mexico and South America who also speaks fluent Spanish. I call them Asian latino anonymous which once we become friends and meet there family they are speaking spanish and Japanese or Korean and Spanish. And my Chinese brothers who travelled the world also speaks some spanish. I am learning Japanese again, but I am using spanish podcast which its much easier then english..
When I speak spanish its passion
When I speak English its logical. No emotion
When I. Speak little Japanese , its being polite and not making other person angry at any cost....
Two weeks ago my friend kanji from japan visited me, we went surfing which he surfs in japan. I introduced him as Jay. He didn’t like it, but Jay sound tough....
We went to little Tokyo downtown Los Angeles and Alvira street. I told him about spanish and Mexican culture which was here first. He loved it and now understands the cowboy movies. The first cowboys were from Mexico....
その気持ちわかります。When I switch languages, i feel like my personality also switches
I think in English when I am talking with English speakers, or in the mindset of English, but when I am around Japanese speakers, I think in Japanese, in the Japanese mindset. That's why I find it hard to type in English and listen to Japanese, and similar to reading Japanese when in an English mindset.
I'm a Filipino, I speak Hindi, Arabic, and English of course.
"of course" 😂 dude ang dame naman yon!
@Li'l Squeak exactly

It's funny how you also change your body language completely as you switch languages.
It's amazing how your conversational gestures change so radically when you switch between japanese and english.
I don’t watch the video yet but in fact that’s not just about hand gestures, a lot of person “change” their personality when they switch language, it’s pretty interesting
Zénó This is the case of people who get an idea of typical behaviors based on cultural codes associated with the ascuis language, when they speak it they put these behaviors into practice which may explain the emergence of new personality traits.
I used Google translate xD
As someone learning Japanese, it kind of comes as a package. When I speak Japanese, I act Japanese. When I speak English, I act American
Yeah. That's common for people who grew up with multiple languages. You almost become a completely different person.
@@Borderose I'm bilingual too, but both languages are very related (catalan and spanish). Maybe I'm a little more direct speaking spanish, but I don't feel like I'm a "different person".
It’s interesting she learned Japanese in Kansai dialect. Usually school teaches Tokyo dialect so that’s probably something unique to homeschooling.
I’ve spent a lot of time in primary schools in Osaka and I can report that the teachers (probably a hundred or more individuals) I worked with almost exclusively used Kansai dialect when speaking to students. The national language (国語) curriculum is of course the standard dialect, but from my observation, even as this is being taught Kansai dialect is the medium.

Totally! I grew up in a bilingual environment; a side effect of that is that I sometimes struggle to speak either language "cleanly". I moved into an 英語だけ area a few years back, so I get all the なつかしい feels hearing Nihonglish again. :)

I’m also a japanese english bilingual (i learned english as a second language though) who studies cs in North America, but it’s really difficult to find japanese speaking communities or even clsssmates.

@@valorzinski7423 I've been considering using VRChat myself to find some Japanese people to chat with but I've been too lazy or always sidetracked with Beat Saber instead. 😅
feeling represented by you, telling about growing in a house with parents speaking in japanese and using words in japanese that don't exist in other language. it's an unique experience to be bilingual, arriving home and saying "tadaima" or saying "itadakimasu" before a meal. I appreciate all of this in my life (i'm half brazilian and half japanese, trying to learning english)
Have you learned Japanese at home then? Are you fluent in it?
I found out that when you speak English you look more active and, when you speak Japanese you look quite tranquil doesn't it? =D it's so interesting languages affect your kind of personality.

My wife is Japanese (I'm a NZer) and we raised our daughter to be bilingual. It was tough on my wife because of the tears and mini-rebellions, but I think it is paying off now that our daughter is almost 15.
By the way, your Japanese was so easy for me to understand. Much easier than a 'Japanese-only' speaker.
This is encouraging to hear. Our situation sounds similar. A bit of resistance now and again from our lad, but I keep trying to positively reinforce how much he'll appreciate it later in life. It's tough sometimes for a 7-year old to grasp 'later in life'...
For me since I live in Alabama, there is no Japanese here, so I mostly talk to myself in Japanese and my cat :). However keep in mind I moved here in 1999 when I was 10 and eventually I had to slowly relearn my native language considering there are no Japanese speakers here. Reading and writing is a different story...
I wish there were Japanese speakers in Alabama. It's my favorite language but it's extremely difficult and not very useful to learn a language that you cannot use to verbally talk to anyone (in person at least)
@@voidsabre_ very true! Only places I know of that have other Japanese people (besides myself) is KTH and Honda, but I rarely see them to be able to have a conversation :/.

I froze when I heard your "honma" for the first time. Even replayed that part a couple of times just to confirm lol I never thought you would speak in Kansai-ben! I agree Kansai-ben is a soul language. I don't know why, but at work, when a colleague happens to talk to me in Kansai-ben, I instantly feel connected to that person and I feel like a more open, friendly and interesting person when I myself speak in Kansai-ben. And yes, I too find it more natural/on point to use Japanese to express body sensations and feelings. I'm not a native speaker of Japanese (and also English) to share the same reason as yours. But now that I think about it, maybe it's because of the way it is spoken, you know like いたっwith the little tsu gives a surprise feel, when うまー with prolonged a feels like you are complimenting with all your heart (breath, at least)
Kansaiben is for peasants.
I've played this to my 7-year old (Japanese mum) - so, so good for him to hear that even though it sometimes feels unfair having to do extra study, it felt worth it. He understands, but it's great to hear it from a grown-up bilingual. Thanks a lot.
The struggle is real when you forget a word in the language you’re speaking in but know what it is in the other language. I’ve just accepted the fact that my conversations will be mixed.
Sometimes I don't remember the word in either language 😅
Literally tagalog
@@marilurodriguez4115 i feel you haha
I have that with japanese, german and english. Sadly most people around me are monolingual so in the end there’s this awkward silence bc I don’t remember that one word
Exactly lol ❤️
こんにちは〜
I love your videos! Also grew up in US and Japan. I went to elementary school in US, up to 高校 in Japan. Then went to Nebraska to learn Computer Engineering. This month I started as a firmware engineer in Japan kind of wanting to go back to US lol. It’s hard since I’m a Japanese citizen and look Japanese but I feel like I’m half American.
It’s hard being multicultural but also lucky!

I'm also a Japanese American Software Engineer! I grew up speaking only Japanese at home and attended Japanese school on weekends, but since moving out I've definitely lost my skills, especially reading and writing. I don't know if this is just me, but when I go back to Japan, because my conversational Japanese is pretty good and I look Japanese, sometimes when I'm talking to someone they'll use vocabulary that I don't understand... but I just give a blank stare and an ...え？ Anyway, thanks for sharing your story, it's cool to see people with similar backgrounds representing!
What accent is that? It feels like her parents must've had a dialect and it's slightly in her speech
EDIT: I shoulda commented after watching the vid fully
Kansai-ben sounds much more lively than standard Japanese
I’m partial to this, but yes. Yes it does.
As a Chinese who lives in Canada since high school and watching anime 2h per day, I understand your Japanese without subs😂

In my country somalia, people learn 3 languages.
I'm tri-lingual, i speak Somali, Arabic and English.
Same in India my mother tongue is punjabi and learned hindi and english in school like most of the people here.
I'm a hongkonger, we speak only Cantonese.
@@xyz-pf1yz you are missing out a lot then.
I'm a South Indian, most of us happen to speak 3 languages fluently
Telugu (mother tongue in my case)
Hindi (Learned it in school and also can get by in India almost anywhere with hindi)
English
It's common for Indians to be fluent in more than 2 languages
I doubt the fluent part. I you are able to read the literature then i would consider fluent
@@Vignana_Pradarshana that maybe right, but career wise, reading literature may not be that easier
I’m learning Japanese and told my Indian coworker who said the same thing about fluency. I was shocked because in the US, unless your family stresses another language, the school and media is typically always English. He told me that it’s very common to speak more than 2, 3, or 4 languages in India! It sounds incredible!
I love that you have Kansai dialect!
It’s amazing that you can speak both languages so fluently. You inspire me a lot as I’m Japanese learning English.

I'm almost trilingual, after a second language it is way easier to learn another one!
Legit, its like unlocking a fast pass
Lol true
Okay, being trilingual is common in my country Indonesia. I got 5 language all together, it's Bahasa Indonesia, English, Ma'anyanese, Banjar and Betawi for me 😀👍🏻
Lol i was born triligual, kind of forced to learn the fourth one
I'd have to disagree. I think the difficulty stems from how much of the other language is similar to the one that you know. As I study Japanese (except for the loan words from English), I couldn't use anything I gained from English to better memorize Japanese, but I could use my Vietnamese to memorize all the kanji and compound kanji words, because we also use loan words from the Chinese, and in fact is how most schools teaches us
I'm half Japanese and half American and I grew up in Osaka (20yo rn). I'm pleasantly surprised that you speak 関西弁! いつもテック系の動画ありがとうございます~
It would be nice if we could create a Japanese/English community of people who are interested in tech for networking & sharing information!
That's great idea!
I'm glad your parents forced that rule upon you! The schools in my area discouraged parents from using other languages at home because at that time they believed it would confuse kids rather than enhance their learning. To top it off, my mom loooved English, so I never really learned to speak Korean though I could always understand quite a bit of it. Now I'm in Korea trying to learn Korean at a business level and all the words from Chinese we use kiiiills me. Thankfully we don't really use Hanja (Korea's equivalent of Kanji), but there are so many times where someone uses a sino-korean word and I don't understand xD although to avoid confusion, some news articles and dictionaries will use Hanja for words that have the same spelling, but different meanings.
I just want to learn Japanese for anime.
Then start now, there's a bunch of free resources on the internet. I'm basically a shill for mia japanese tho (look it up on youtube)
You can also take an academic approach and take a curriculum and then culminate it by taking JLPT N5 or N4.
I felt this comment, today I got way too happy because I recognised a kanji in the wild and knew how to pronounce it and what it meant for the first time

Very interesting to see this perspective. I didn't fully realize it's harder to teach your kids Japanese than other Western languages. I'm Chilean, moved to Belgium, I always spoke spanish with my parents and I've always had a fair amount of spanish speaking contacts, basically meaning that I have plenty of opportunities to practise it. Spanish is my mother language, but here I also learn french and dutch and in highschool I got English too. (got some basic german too and I know some basic Japanese, hence why I'm here) To speak, that was easy for me, writing these languages was the harder part, in the last couple of years I even had spanish, meaning that's where I finally learned to properly write Spanish though I wouldn't say I have a good lvl, it's decent at best, but I can read just fine. I do have the luck of having the same Western alphabet for all these languages, kanji that's a whole other thing, I get the feeling even Japanese living in Japan struggle with it at times. Tv is in english here and I got access English speaking friends too, which in practise means in a single day I may end up speaking Spanish, french, dutch and English. I'm even lucky enough to have friends who speak all 4 of these languages and that is pretty hilarious to see, we can switch in between languages depending on the mood. The dreaming part is very interesting, in my case I speak all these languages fluently, to me it doesn't matter one bit which one you pick, going back to the dreaming part => I can dream in either of these languages. Each language is very different even within the same mind you just don't think the same way. There's some words and some concepts that just aren't the same. I think some people underestimate the cultural attachment there is to a language, as a japanese speaker you should know how important it is to know the cultural background to certain words & concepts, I think it's even more important in Japanese than in other languages. You can apply a similar logic to other languages. I've read studies on this subject and yeah it does seem like a different language also means a different way of thinking and expressing yourself. To give you a small example, french vs dutch culture is warm vs cold, dutch folk though usually friendly are a bit colder, less tactile than the french counterparts. I mean the basic way to greet, in the french part you kiss on the cheek, while in Flanders you either just shake hands or just nod at each other. When meeting new people, french folk will instantly act friendly and be open, while dutch will be more reserved and wait a bit to open up. Spanish culture and to be more accurate in my case Chilean culture is a whole other thing, same goes with English culture which in my case adapt to who I'm speaking to. I'm basically a mess of cultures and languages, I think I adapt to whoever I'm with, otherwise I don't really have a default mode. Looking back I did know these 2 (crazy) Japanese sisters and I can only imagine how hard it was for them to grow up here, they probably also struggled with Japanese, I know they did speak Japanese with their parents, not sure when they arrived here though.
Not teaching the kids the right way*
With modern apps around, it should take the modern teenager 6 months to learn what their parents learned in 10 years. ( Assuming they want to learn)
As someone who spent their academic career studying Japanese and is now trying to transition more towards learning programming, your videos are super interesting and inspiring!!
I'm an Aussie iOS dev and conversational in Japanese. Definitely on the same page!
I'm trilingual, fluent enough to be able to write essays in all three 😝
Definitely trying to get better with my Japanese. まだ下手なんですけどー。。。:)
グアテマラで育ちました。そして私が好きなのはスペイン語の日本のテレビでした。マジンガーzはとても古いですが、大好きです。動画ありがとうございます。すごいかっこいい！！！
You should speak japanese more often in your videos. It adds a little flavor of your personality in the videos i guess.
It doesnt need to be much, a word more often would be enough to spark you personality and teach someone in this side. And its cool.
This is actually funny. I am "septalingual"
My dad is Finnish.
My mom is French
I grew up in Germany
I studied in the UK for 6 years.
I worked in Japan for around 5 years.
My girlfriend is Indian(Hindi).
I took Swedish classes as well.
I guess Americans should worship me now 😂😂
Now why does that name sound familiar...
Respect my man
Ow look, you know how to curse (~2 words) and know the vowels in 3 languages, wow! Septalingual!
Can you speak the languages too tho?
Doesnt mean shit. I was born in Japan til 6 yrs old, then lived in Korea until like 13. Then moved to the states since then. I took Spanish class in High school, and my ex girlfriend in relationship with is from France. So yeah, i do understand a bit all 5 different languages (Japanese, Korean, English, Spanish, and French) but once again this doesnt means shit to me, since I don’t feel confident enough for me to speak without struggling (except Korean and English I guess). It’s like, i know and took some classes of Ruby, Python, Go, C#, and Java, but I only put Python and Go lang only on my resume since those two languages are the ones I feel confident enough to be able to work and finish the project.
If you really wanna know about how to teach people Japanese I suggest Matt Vs Japan channel. He is probably the best foreigner Japanese speaker on youtube that knows how to translate his knowledge.
Agreed!
Matt’s methods are great but I don’t think it’s necessarily ideal for teaching young children. It’s a system designed for adult learners who don’t receive comprehensible input naturally. Raising bilingual children would most likely require a different approach. For example, sentence mining is a higher order skill designed for adults who can read their native language. As the children get older perhaps some other the methods could be useful for attaining higher levels.
You know, speaking fluent Japanese is a dream for many, you're very lucky.
japanese people can't speak fluent japanese?
@@Red-yq6nc LOL you have to watch the video first
@@夜神月-q9h I realise that she was brought up outside Japan, however I am specifically talking about the fact that he said speaking someones native language makes them lucky. That takes no context whatsoever, and I don't realise how you could misinterpret that.
See if any university Japanese conversation clubs host online discussions and are open to participants from outside of the school communtiy! I actually run a club for my school (in Canada) and do language/cultural exchanges on Zoom with student groups from Kansai and California. Great to come across a Japanese creator that is catered towards the English-speaking community btw, I don't see many out there tbh
CSと繋がっている話題を日本語で話すビデオを作ることができれば良いと思いますね
Pentalingual here! lol (Indonesian, Sumbawanese, English, Javanese, Japanese) and that is so truuu when you think you just don't use language.. it's kinda interesting though how we can actually think of a complex ideas without wording it, or sometimes i accidentally use one of those languages without realizing it in the first place
Anyway great video! Been learning Japanese for 8 months now and この動画の日本語喋る事が全部理解して嬉しい😂
bener juga gan. ane bicara 4 bahasa, (javanese, indonesian, english, arabic) dan lagi belajar japanese. kadang ane juga ngerasa gitu wkwk
Haha love it, more Japanese videos please! :)
I am an Indian
And most of the people are trilingual and can even know upto even 5 languages
yeah at least 3 languages minimum
Yayy... For Indians✌️
Lol what a typical Indian bragging here
Me too! I'm also full japanese, and born and raised in the US. My elementary school was an immersion school that taught in both english and japanese, and we also had some classes in japanese at my middle and high school. We go to japan every year during the summer, and during elementary school my parents gave me the amazing opportunity of attending a school in japan for 3 months. This was really beneficial to me for learning more about culture in school :) I'm currently in high school, and I also want to go into computer science! I think the main ways I keep up with my japanese is through online interactions (discord), youtube, anime/manga, and speaking at home. People sometimes ask me what "language" i think in, but I really think it's a mix of both. As for my "dreams", I'm pretty sure I dream in english??
Growing up bilingual really is a cool experience. If you're also bilingual, please raise your kids to be bilingual (even if they don't want to haha)!
Are there Japanese Discords or how does that work?
yep! I'm in a server filled with people who want to learn english or japanese. There's also other bilingual people, join here: discord.gg/japanese@@hejoric
@@hejoric I speak 7-10 languages everyday on a game called vrchat on PC.
It's a great game for language learning and practice (see youtube on how to use it for language learning)
Your body movement changes when you speak Japanese.
According to some scientific studies, one personality is breed per language.
I so agree about identity. A part of me will always be Inaka Hiroshima-Ken.
being bilingual as Javanese and Indonesian...
ah yeah.. my English quite good and i can read arabic because im a Muslim...
and now...
i still learn about Japanese...
cause I'm a weeb...
u wanna hear my story ?
WTF
Hu?
I'm from México c: and i want to go to Japan to study a master in civil engenering, but damn, japanase it's so difficult. Any tips to learn japanese?! Thanks and good video ✨ you win a new sub
Yo también soy de México aprendiendo japonés
Primeramente debes aprender el hiragana y katakana
Para eso hay muchos videos aquí en TH-cam uno de los que conozco y me ha gustado es el de yuyu nihongo
Te recomiendo el libro minna no nihongo lo puedes buscar en la red es el que yo he estado usando y me ayuda mucho con respecto a la gramática
Para acostumbrarte al japonés mi profesor nos recomienda mucho ver doraemon o sasae san sin subtítulos ya que trata mucho sobre la vida cotidiana en Japón y nos hace estar más expuestos al lenguaje
Si necesitas ayuda aquí estoy;)
everglow muchas gracias amix c: cualquier duda yo te digo, enserio muchas gracis ✨
Busca el canal Matt Vs Japan y verás porque no es recomendable aprender a través de libros de texto. Si quieres aprender rápido y de forma eficiente recomiendo la MIA: mass immersion approach. Búscalo y lo comprenderás. Suerte.
I revommand starting with hiragana and katakana, you can easily memprise all of them within a week using 2 articles from a web page called tofugu. Once that’s done, tackle the kanji, this is the most difficult task, but thankfully there are some amazing ressources like wanikani and many others... you can start grammar while studying kanji or after.
Hey Mayuko! Im a current college student right now and im going through the exact phase of figuring how to maintain my japanese that has been steadily getting worse lol 😅i will love to see a japanese q&a video! Also, my favorite variety show to watch and learn Japanese was 志村動物園 (rip) and i was wondering what variety shows did you watch?
志村動物園😭 rip. My all-time favorite is 探偵ナイトスクープ🕵🏻♂️
僕も同じです。練習がないので、日本語が忘れています。困った笑
I have to say it makes me so happy that your parents put the effort in and made sure that you knew your mother tongue and didn’t make you try to “fit in with the others” by telling you to only communicate in English (which surprisingly a lot of foreigner parents do when they move to countries such as America or England) On the long run, that does more damage than good cause how are supposed to respect other ppl/cultures if you aren’t aware of/don’t respect your own. Living in England im so happy being bilingual 😊
The real question is which language do you curse in lol
English lol Japanese doesn't really have curse words, its more tone.
@@charles-kk8sp interesting, I genuinely didn't know that...
in my case, i use english for my friends who don't understand hindi and hindi for my hindi friends
I also understand wanting to find a community of Japanese-Americans. Because of the fusion of two different cultures, we're not exactly like normal Japanese people nor Americans. The only people that I feel I can relate to are other Japanese-Americans, hence why my best friend is one.
It can suck sometimes that the country of your ethnic origin has people that are completely culturally alien.
major advantage is, while watching anime. no need to follow the subtitle.
My native language is Arabic but I moved to Sweden when I was 7 and then started using English in school. Now at 20 I'm native level in all 3 languages and I learned German at an intermediate level in highschool. So I'm lucky in that regard. That said I'd definitely like to learn Japanese especially when the structure of the language is much different from the languages I know.
Also btw I'm starting my bachelor's of science in computer science at the end of this month and your channel has helped with some info :)
I am the only one out of my siblings, my cousins, and the next generation up who speaks even a little Japanese. It is difficult to stay motivated to keep up with my Japanese roots, especially since the only ones currently alive who speak Japanese are my grandparents. Meeting other Japanese people, American or not, it is difficult to find people whom I can relate to on a cultural level. I see other Asian Americans casually speaking Chinese and Korean in my community, so it is hard to keep in mind that everyone’s cultural experience is vastly different and uniquely personal. Thank you, Mayuko, for sharing your experience. I hope that you find good community that is able to feed into your cultural identity. Stay safe!
Chinese and Korean americans seems more in touch with their native tongue compared to japanese americans imho
Go online to talk to Japanese speakers on VRchat and Discord
Kinda curious about what "drama" means lol
Up
Sort of like a Soap Opera.
I loved listening you speaking in Japanese.
The sad thing about this video is that now I think learning japanese as an adult is an even harder task than I thought (and I already knew it was a struggle) :(
gi
4:22 wow , anyone thinks Mayuko has a 關西accent😺😺8:33
Okay, I thought so too. Glad I wasn't the only one that thought so ahaha
I like ur voice when u speak in English 😂 also Im glad i do understand both languages ☺ Me as a full- Korean, grown up in Japan n compare to my background, some of the parts I do relate which makes me laugh 😂😂 my parents speak Korean at home so i spoke to them in Korean. although growing up getting into high school, my Korean speaking getting bad.. So I stopped speaking in Korean although my parents spoke to me in Korean. i always talk to them in Japanese cuz its much comfortable compare to any other languages. Now im in a college student living in Korea and do Korean much better. But Zero language lol So I really proud of you 👏❤ Also being Bilingual is literally hard i know...
Make a separate Japanese TH-cam channel .. onegaishimasu! 🙏 That will help you to find a reason to use and improve your Nihongo skills .. and you might gain some Japanese followers which might help you get closer to your native community..
I'm not a English or Japanese native but I do like Japanese language more than English ☺️
I am like yourself completely japanese. I moved to the UK at the age of 5, but after graduating from Uni, i moved back to Japan. But having lived in the UK for 17 years, i consider myself a japanese londoner, billingual but prefer to speak in english coz it`s easier to express myself.
I studied Computer Science and now I am a network engineer.
Its very fascinating watching the fancy life style of someone from the West Coast, coz where I grew in the UK it was the opposite. haha
The cultural aspect, your tech industry insight, your likeable personality are the reasons i follow your channel. I can relate to a lot of what you have been through, in-regards to growing up outside of Japan.
Keep up the good work !
Do you ever think about moving to Japan? Couldn't you contribute a lot with your knowledge and experience?
Why would she ever do that? Work life balance in USA is leagues ahead of Japan
@@ryan6111 I don't think so. Japan has better work benefits for say: maternal leave and vacation days.

I think you're so cool to be bilingual in English and Kansai Ben! I am 100% Japanese/Osaka Jin, and have tried to raise my kids to be bilingual (English/Kansai Ben), but unfortunately, they did not learn it at all! One of them wants to learn the accent, but she says the intonation is complicated and hard to mimic.
I am looking forward to more videos!
在米のオバチャンです。応援してますよ～。
I forgot to mention this in my video but I think 吉本新喜劇 & 探偵ナイトスクープ really helped with my 関西弁 too 😂
mayuko I showed ドリフ to my kids when they were little!!! 😂 They became very familiar with Japanese style ギャグ but I should’ve shown them 吉本新喜劇 so they could’ve learned 関西弁 🤣 🤣
love hearing your Japanese accent. really genuine.
really cool video, looking forward to the q&a in japanese. I'm hoping to be bilingual in japanese and english one day too!
mayuko: I'm Japanese Canadian and went thru some similar experiences growing up in Canada. My family moved away from Japan when I was one and I was _forced_ to attend a hoshuko right up until the end of high school. tbh, I still have nightmares about Japanese school exams! XD Unfortunately, that experience scarred me so much that I completely lost any interest in Japanese... something I now regret as an adult, of course.
I hope someday you find your way back to Japanese!

I guess the right question is not “Do you think in English or Japanese” but rather “Do you cuss in English or Japanese?” 😅
I honestly curse the most in English, probably because the curse words one English feel stronger to me than in Japanese.
@@hellomayuko I feel that the language you use when you're surprised or agitated is the language you're more familiar with and more comfortable using. I speak Filipino and English. I don't curse (at least out loud), but if I do -- in my head :D -- I do it in my native tongue, Filipino. I guess it goes the same way for bilinguals?

"Mas" appends almost every word in Japanese
"ます" ("masu", sometime's shortened to a "mass" sound) is a polite verb ending, pretty much.
It only works on verbs though, if a sentence ends with a adjective or noun you tend to use "です" ("desu", also shortened to "dess").
And 'mida' in Korean!
it's a 'keigo', kinda like an 'add-on' of a sentence to make it more polite and formal.
masu is the polite present tense form of verbs in japanese so you will hear that a lot on here but probably less so in conversational japanese where it's more in the standard form.
