Can we get some Japanese rizz

@tavonknight398 Bro *💀*

How do you feel about other youtubers like Asagi calling you and street interviewers scammers and accusing you of cherry picking the people you decide to show, suggesting you want to only show people who show a certain narrative you want to portray about Japan? I find these accusations unfounded and ridiculous, especially since you are japanese as well. Just was wondering if someone has brought this to your attention or if you are aware of this way of thinking about street interviews and what you would say to that.

Takashi your disinterest to the all interviewees is extremely noticeable. Your body language shows you do not actually care about what is being sad at all. 15:06 This effect happens in all countries with non native speakers of a language living in a foreign country, once they know enough to survive... they switch their brain off...they're too lazy to continue learning as they know enough to get by in daily life...

@@itsumotanoshimi dafuq are you talking about? He’s a native speaker, he’s japanese himself. Stop smoking crack.🤦🏻‍♂️

Men of culture 😳

Well said, gentleman

It is a pleasure to greet you, gentleman. 🥂

😂 True me too

what did sayaka do for a living?

UKpostsrs are big-time collaborators, in general.

Sensei avengers have assembled 😂 .

Thanks for the video description lol

Knowing nearly fluent Spanish in 1992 made my Japanese accent better. Sadly I forgot all my Spanish

I totally agree, As a Spanish speaking Nikkei, Japanese pronunciation was very easy to learn for me. But I can see native Spanish speakers having a little bit of difficulty with "Tsu","Za", "Zu","Zo". They make it sound all like "S".

It's the same for Italian too, pronunciation is really similar! It would be nice if it was like that for writing, vocabulary and grammar as well 🥲😅

I was watching anime in my room and then I went out of my room and my mom asked what novela u watching, I told her I’m watching anime. She was like Que 😮

I’ve said this for sooo long to people but could never really explain it the best. When I was learning Japanese in school all my Spanish speaking classmates had the BEST accent and pronunciation.

Honestly I think it is good given how the world out here is going, hahaha.

The point of a bubble si that it's transparent

Living in a bubble isnt necessarily good. This isnt 1990 with social media and internet we are more of a global society also Japan gain a lot of income nationally and businesses by exporting their culture. Economically no country is an island unless you wanna become north korea. But tourism is huge​@TheDarthpsi

She is out of Matrix. Some japanese really need to travel

If only they knew how different things could be.

I'll try this ty, by the way where did you watch it? Netflix?

​@@576kg8 I found it on Netflix!

That also shows how there are multiple ways to learn/focus on depending upon the individual, yeah it's pretty cool.

I'd be more inclined to see we live in the age where learning languages is unnecessary and just a hobby, while many should keep disappearing into obscurity. I don't particularly like English, but I see no purpose in using anything but English worldwide and online. Once the non tech generations cease to exist it will also become easy to use it more frequently while traveling.... Learning languages is a hobby - I can use 4, and I'm aiming for 6 more but it becomes so hard to choose when in reality so many are minority languages even if they are "household names", take any nordic language (north germanic - swedish, danish, norwegian) or finnish as an example; each of them have around 9 million natives and most of those natives understand english better than their neighbouring countries languages... Rinse and repeat with most eastern european and asian languages. Only languages with soft international power are english, spanish, japanese, korean, mandarin, french, arab and maybe russian.

@Raindropv5wt I don't know what you are on about... I never claimed English was a universal language per se as far as I recall as I find both Universal language and lingua franca as stupid terms, and I certainly did not claim it is the most natively spoken language at all. I did also claim mandarin has relevance, unlike the many random hindu languages that not even them themselves use all that often due to how many they are in a small geographic area (to the utmost of my knowledge). The greek language thing is straight up a lie by the way, and back them there were many more languages than there are today. English is the most used language worldwide, as in through a wide geographic area while the likes of Mandarin are stuck to the China borders, likewise for Russia... So I fail to see any point on your reply to me, the resources are there? Sure, the need is the one that is no longer there and as time goes by this will be ever more true... Languages will disappear, those that are just niche like many Indian dialects, and serve no purpose beyond cultural emblems and allowing people that don't know any other one to communicate (which as I said, overtime will go away). If therer is no need to learn languages, even if the resources become more plentiful, then language learning becomes a hobby and not a necessity - which nowadays is the current state of things ONLINE beyond the key languages mentioned. Also, the only reason greeks had the influence they had in us was due to how many thinkers they had with access to written language and the ability to leave evidence of this while other nations were waging wars for survival, most people had not idea how to read or write most languages that existed back then and things like the library of Alexandria were so emblematic due to this - and this is representative now of how the world knowledge is now preserved digitally in ENGLISH, as every research paper is required to have an abstract in english even when the whole thing is in, for example, spanish.

this is SO true. I tried to learn Japanese in highschool in 1998, but bounced off how hard it was to learn kana with the available methods-- no podcasts, youtube didn't exist yet, decently translated Japanese media (if you tried to "learn from Anime" from some of those translations you would be learning from someone who knew barely more Japanese than you did!) no apps. Spaced Repetition was known as a learning technique but not taught and the tools available to assist were nonexistent. There were relatively few advances from the 1940s when wire recorders allowed "language labs" full of recorders and players for the first time until like almost literally 2005 or 6. Language learning until the smartphone era really took off in 2012 or so looked like studying a textbook at home speaking out loud to the wall and once or twice a week sitting in a row of cubicles with headphones repeating phrases and hoping you remembered them and perhaps a professor or two walking around listening for obvious errors and correcting you. It was the dark ages.

​@@raizan5946 I cannot agree with this at all. In my field, IT, the gulf of language-speaking forums is immense. If you spend most time in the old "first world" (US allied nations of the cold war) you need only English really. But if you ever go to the "second world" (former soviet allies) Russian will avail you more and English will be more uncommon, though it's not like it was in the cold war where only military officers would speak English but they PREFER not to speak English in many areas, especially within Russia. If you're in a field where that matters, like IT Security, you will be far more effective if you learn Russian. Similarly there's a lot of fields where if you don't speak one of the languages of India you won't fit in.

@Raindropv5wt that's UKposts, not the youtuber. When a youtuber bans you, your comments simply are invisible to every other person except you.

Not only Japanese, all Asians in general should be respected no matter what their accent is. I've seen some trolls online who specially quote accent whenever they wanna mock a whole country. Asians are amazing...they should in fact be praised for being multilingual ! I personally speak 5 languages and it's annoying when people mock my English for having an Indian accent. 🤔🤔😑

That's a great point. I think sounding like a native is an unrealistic expectation. And as a language teacher, I think comprehensibility trumps pretty much everything else.

exactly. If you hear a native japanese speaking fluent english with an accent it doesn't mean their english is bad. Nobody really thinks about it because the important part is you can understand them

Right on. And within the community of people trying to learn Japanese for instance, they peddle the narrative that 'perfect/native' pronunciation trumps all else. If one's goal with a language is not to communicate, connect or consume native content from that language I can't imagine it being for many other reasons that feeding ego and bragging rights in line with one of those clickbait 'Person from x race SHOCKS natives with language abilities!' People with various accents are everywhere and make the world more colourful because they offer glimpses into unique backgrounds, upbringings and cultures that shaped their cadence.

Can't agree more.

He really has, in the last year he has made major improvements.

Right!? I was super surprised when I saw her

​@@cameraday9196 same

It s like the multiverse joined together 🎉

Weird

@@kenjiii_ Thank you bro😁

That's kinda creepy 😅

​@@valendis Yeah 💀

Simp level:100🤣

i love herrr ive been following her for a while on instagram so it was a nice surprise to find her here

because japan is a racist country

Sayaka is the best. Her teaching is lively and makes we too can speak easily like her. I have often switched channels when i saw others as they look very fast making to feel very difficult to speak like a native. I like NATIVE Japanese teachers. I am an Indian and see only content by natives who inspire confidence. I watch Sayaka even though am doing my N1 as I like her pronunciation and her confidence inspiring style.

Completely agree with you. She's an inspiration.

So true! If I ever get to her level, I'll feel like I've died and gone to heaven. Life goals...

I mean, it depends on your goal. For a lot of people, their entire goal is being able to consume content, which aside from getting a Japanese gf/bf or a perma tutor, it's probably the fastest way to actually get good at the language. For those people, talking isn't really all that important. Lucky for those people, the best part about that is that even if you don't speak, by merely learning Japanese and consuming tons of content, when they do decide on speaking, they'll be able to because simply immersing and consuming tons of content allows for your output potential to be so much more. After that, it's just refining, and getting comfortable with actually speaking.

That is what language pedagogy of the past 20-30 years says. A lot of teachers are out of date or some think they can teach because they are native lol

Because Spanish pronunciation is a bit similar to Japanese. But it is not the pronunciation that is important in Japanese, but the intonation or pitch. Because as long as the pitch is accurate, my daughter can often understand what I'm saying even if I have a toothbrush in my mouth. lol

I swear I knew I wasn’t crazy they both sounded similar in a way lol

@@TheMakoyou I’m sure! That pitch and intonation will come later for me. I wish I could learn it now. I’m just focusing on vocabulary and grammar for now. I am just beginning to understand putting sentences together and learning the verb conjugation for I, na, and te form verbs. I’ve got a lot to go!

Estoy de acuerdo 👍🏻 una pregunta¿cuál es tu método para memorizar Kanji? 😊

@@Taetae-ye8zb En el curso que estoy tomando, Kanji viene un poco mas luego. El profesor nos mando las notas por email y segun lo yo veo de kanji, hay que mirar a cada letra de kanji… y separarlas de sis partes. Ciertas características de las letras tienen algo en comun. Otras parecen a lo que quieren a representatar por ejemplo, agua. Veo tambien que hay ejercios a donde tengo que distingir una letra kanji con otras que de presentan. ASI uno va poco a poco mirandolas y notando las Que son iguales. Casi todas tienen partes diferentes y hay que mirar a esto. Yo tendria que escribirlas en cartas y escribir que significan al Otto lado de la carta. No mas de 5 o 6 a la vez. Espero que esto le ayuda un poco.

brings a good balance to the video :)

Yeah I want to have a teacher like that

Forgot to add the 3-5 years you need to spend in order to get anywhere with the language

He dropped some knowledge bombs and here I am watching this whole 20 min video because my brother is a weeb and i am a teacher

Yes I would love to be his student

I second and confirm that speaking spanish does help a lot with pronunciation

Yupp my Japanese tutor was impressed with my pronounciation and she asked if I speak Spanish… how did she know 😮😮

@@doublebubblebarb7606 yep the phonetics and vowels are the same. The problem I have is, when I speak Spanish, I speak too fast. So when I speak and pronounce Japanese, I pronounce it the same speed and I make a mess.

Ive been thinking about that, i feel like my Spanish upbringing helped with my Japanese a ton, like im able to mentally tie vocabulary between the languages to remember definitions, and pronunciations (as previously commented) are also shared which helped a lot. Really interesting stuff

Dominican here so, likewise Spanish speaking speeds is fast!

Same here. Bora focar nos estudos pra um dia a gente ser fluente em japonês. 頑張ってね

@@UiiMadonna Isso aí. 👍🏾👍🏾

Nice keep up only 2 and half years left till you reach a decent level of fluency. Also AI tools help a lot don't forget to use them

Awesome!🫡

Main strategy is to keep consistent for 3-5 years until you reach a decent level of fluency

I think in this context it can be taken to refer to his videos overall? That's how I heard it.

It sounds like a word-for-word translation from how he would say it in Japanese: "ima made," or "up to now".

I took it to mean that he is thankful for all of the watching that I have done up until this point, but that he will no longer be thankful for any watching I do from this point forward.

Try Totoro Hamturo without subtitles.

@@bighawkdz I'll try it thanks for the help!

I really loved this answer too.

ChatGPT! :)

@@fairlynuts Why the ad? Are you a spam bot?

@@dameanvil you generated that using AI…

@@fairlynutshow do you know

@@marxyy because I’ve used it. There’s a “GPT” (like an add-on) that’s called のyoutube which does a similar thing. Doesn’t matter if the youtube film is 10 seconds long or 10 hours, it’ll summarize it in seconds and you can even ask follow up question about what’s in it.

Those are great for those who want to sound like gaijin with anime like vocabulary

This comment should be pinned cause you only said FACTS 🎉

Your spanish is not going to help your japanese
