      Hi! I'm a native Spanish speaker. I'm learning Japanese now, but I'm really bad at it. If you want to, I can help you with your Spanish and you can help me with my Japanese :-) 日本語が大好きですが難しいです!私は英語も話します!いしょに勉強しましょう!!!

      I absolutely agree with you. I'm a native spanish speaker, but I got more and more interested in japanese language over time, until I started learning some months ago, and I started for the same reason: "好きだから。"
      So let's try our best!
      Buena suerte!

    This video really hits close to home! I’ve always struggled to find a hobby or something that really made me curious or passionate and this has always made me feel bad, like I didn’t have a personality or I was weak because I couldn’t bring myself to really like anything. I watch anime a lot and one day I started studying Japanese just because I liked it and I found it interesting but I didn’t feel like I really had the “right” to do it as I didn’t have any clear goals in mind. But then, when the time to choose university came and I couldn’t find anything that I really wanted to study and I was afraid wouldn’t make the right choice, I decided not to care about what others thought and just follow my heart. So I picked up Japanese Studies and guess what? Best decision of my life. For the first time I feel motivated and passionate about studying something and I just can’t get enough of it! I had never been this happy before and now I also have some big goals! Never give up on your heart, just follow it and it will show you the way!

    This mindset of "No Goals, Just For Fun, if I stop someday it's no big deal" is how I started studying two years ago. I'm still doing it and very much enjoying the experience. Thank you for putting my feelings into words so elegantly.

    When people ask me why, I just say, “I like the language and culture.” It’s short and sweet.
    It’s been two years of kinda serious studying now (but off and on learning since 2010), and my BIGGEST advice is to not care if you’re making perfect sentences when you speak. As long as the idea is understood, it’s totally fine.
    Also, in tandem to my advice, look for native speakers and other Japanese learners so you have more practice.

    • @vividvivillon5782
      @vividvivillon5782 Před 2 lety +8

      Ty for the advice
      I’ve been studying the language for 2 months now (everyday) so I’m still a beginner and throughout that time period, I’ve realized that learning from a native speaker like Tanaka-san (or advanced speakers) and learning from other resources really help!

    I had similar worries as Egg-San. I started learning Japanese just because one day in the bookstore i happened to see a cute Japanese textbook and I thought it was so pretty. I gave up a little later but picked it up back again in university but i felt a bit lacking whenever in class people asked why I want to be good at Japanese. I don't think I would work or live in Japan any time soon. But through the years, studying Japanese just became sort of important to me. I know I don't need a huge, amazing reason to keep going but to hear it from you makes me a lot happy this morning as I get ready to tackle my Kanji goals for the day! ^___^

  • @kiputkustik

    I try to learn Japanese just because I watch Japanese drama. I don't have goals just like Egg-san. When I join some language community, most of them set their goal to study or work in Japan. And I started to think, is it necessary for me to learn? Then I stopped to learn.
    But when I watch Japan drama and reality show, I can understand some of the words and it makes me happy. So I learn Japanese again 😊
    Just like Fairy Sushi said, I met new people because I learn Japanese.

    I attempted to learn Korean when I was 16 but gave up after picking up Hangeul because I didn’t know where to start learning the grammar and vocabulary.
    After visiting Japan I had this ‘I want to learn Japanese’ phase but just didn’t really get down to it because I have a short term memory and just wasn’t sure if I could do it.
    However I really like these 2 idols Hashimoto Yuta and Sato Eisho, both of whom are fluent in Chinese. Eisho is mixed Japanese-Chinese and learnt it at school but Yuta started learning it about 4-5 years ago and he has close to no Japanese accent when speaking Chinese now.
    Then I fell in love with Naniwa Danshi but their videos and all have basically no subtitles and I relied heavily on the kind people who spent their time translating the videos.
    It has been 38 days since I started learning Japanese from scratch. It is amazing how once you set your heart down on something, you will be able to make it a part of your daily routine and it becomes less of a chore.
    There is definitely something charming about Language Learning.
    For the first 2 weeks I tried like a 6-7 hour study time every day and that overwhelmed me and I was forgetting information so easily.
    Now I do about 2 hours a day(1 in the morning 1 at night) and I find it helps me a lot.
    I bought Naniwa Danshi’s First Arena Tour. For now it is just a CD for listening, maybe in the future I can play it and then realise that I understand what they were saying.

    My Japanese learning journey started at the end of April, 2022. And my first goal was just to watch anime without subtitles (so yeah, technically learning Kanji shouldn't be my purpose...)
    After looking at the n5 list I was like- THAT'S SO MANY THINGS! I'LL DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING IN ANIMR AFTER IT!
    So I got the duolingo course and started doing like one lesson a day till 2023.
    Im still happy with my progress though, it didn't took really much effort.
    One day in the beginning of 23 I was like "Why don't I create a learning server on discord for myself and other people learning with resources"? I got curious and looked if there were any servers. Yeah, there were.
    I was amazed by these people's Japanese level, turned out I was still a beginner and it really motivated me to study more.
    I was "able to pass" an online n5 test (almost failed hehe)
    It was a nice experience. Which motivated me more.
    As for now, I'm studying N4 vocab (still N5 lacks but I don't care, I'm not going to try pass any of the exams soon anyways). I never thought I'm going to listen to japanese beginner podcasts on daily basis (sometimes even higher level than N3, though many words I don't understand).
    And yeah, one of my main goals is still to watch anime.
    Good luck everyone learning :D

    And this video is so relatable. I simply started studying a bit of Japanese just because I love writing kanji and Japanese sentences I found in Anime! But I don't have the guts to tell this to any of my friends yet because they are learning Japanese with very clear goal in their mind. They want to work in Japan in the future, in contrast to me that studying it just because it's fun--

Apart from video sending a very good message, I could understand most of what was being said by listening to it, so I could pay attention to the subtitles. This is super important to me because I was struggling with memorizing hiragana for years, I just can't simply remember it! But the it's very different when it's actually used. I learn better from the actual situations. Plus your speech is slow enough for me to be able to do all things at once - listen, comprehend, check the parts I didn't understand with English text, and pay attention to the subtitles. This is brilliant! Thank you so much!

    I relate to Egg-san a lot. This felt as if Tanaka-san herself was giving me good advice and encouragement. Thank you, Tanaka-sensei, I'll continue to do my best

    I've been studying the language off and on for awhile and I love it when something sticks and I remember just a little more, or a try writing a character and it looks pretty. I think it's a valid concern if you are thinking of dumping money into something, but you can always get one thing and then see how far you can go on the wonderful freely available resources out there and just enjoy any step forward you make.

    The reason I'm studying is mainly that I've made some *grave* mistakes in translating something specific eight years ago that I still haven't forgiven myself for. I'm not going to rest easy until I can set things right.
    But even though I have a goal that's very important to me, I can still only learn at a snail pace because I'm doing it out of necessity rather than personal passion.
    I'd say if you just do it because you *want* to, you have a much better chance of success than if you do it because you *have* to like me.

    thank you so much. i have just enlightened when you compare studying something with hitting the gym. i have never thought about this point before. this is my second effort to study Japanese since i’ve graduated from high school and i very appreciate your creative and attentive contents for the beginners.

    Hi! Although I have only "started" learning Japanese I find your channel quite helpfull. I just love the culture of Japan and Japan itself and I also would love to work in Japan in a few years and I found your channel as a good stepping stone until I can afford Japanese lessons. I know it will be a hard and long journey but once I can live in Japan as someone who speaks the language I have reached my goal. With that being said I appricate all the help, thank you Tanka san.

    Thank you for this! I am having same worries as Egg-san. I took N5 classes then stopped halfway and recently I'm feeling motivated again. I am currently self-studying.

    are we not gonna talk about how Egg-san was talking about wanting to learn Japanese, and had a conversation about not knowing in Japanese, while all that was in Japanese?
