Does this Italki have Ainu by chance? I'm just curious.
I can’t believe people still think they can have relationship without understanding each other😅
Mad respect to Justin. Hard working guy. Dad. Learning the language, and making it work in Japan.
I respect his efforts so much too 😊
Been living in Japan since July 2000, been married since July 2003. Started actually speaking Japanese more in 2007.
Listening and being able to respond quickly we’re always my problem.
That first point is very, very important. With children or other life events this is massive.. Running a business in Japan requires communication, banks, accountants, lawyers etc. I always get caught with specialist vocabulary but I often are able to ask for the correct word.
Definitely relying on someone else to translate is impossible. Even hiring actual translators is hit and miss because translation isn’t always accurate to the intention of the author.
Living in rural Kyushu since 2008 definitely helped me be able to speak more.
Being admitted to the hospital was definitely a time when language skill was helpful
Building a house
Renovation of an office
So many things for life require Japanese skill
You are doing well.
Keep it up
It helps to avoid misunderstandings. But once both of you are together you can code switch to keep things fresh
As foreigner married to Japanese, I agree on all three points 🙂 For dating English is still ok but, not being able to talk with partner family/friends or help your him/her with everyday problems, it's sad/hard.
Thank you for sharing your insight. I'm glad you agree
I too have a Japanese gf, and my 日本語 is very low level, but I want to learn. I have self study materials, and her 英語 is intermediate. We both want to become better at communicating in each others native language. I really like that Justin is in the video, very good and I hope to see more of you two doing bi-lingual videos❤... To be honest I am hoping you both might do an American Movie/TV reaction channel. Any movies/TV you haven't seen, or both you and Justin haven't seen would be great!
That's a good mindset! Keep it up 💪
Actually is not because my Husband is Mexican and we didn’t care about language and communication. We just love each other and that’s it. 😂
👏👏👏
The new content has been so wholesome and very informative thanks
This is good stuff! A good mix of English and Japanese with excellent work on the subtitles! YAY!!! for Asagi and Family!
Aw thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
I believe it's helpful. I heard of a case with a Japanese woman (and a Japanese man) breaking up with two black Americans because they couldn't understand each other.
That's sad 😿 I'm sure it would have been different if both parties are willing to understand each other.
what does their colours have to do with it. or nation??
@@TheBillaroright?😊
@@ancientmage2669 woke points, + to make you even more bad because poor black people
Japan itself makes me want to learn japanese, i don't need to fall in love with a japanese woman to learn japanese, that's true passion, it can't be explained, it simply happens, i don't create expectations around other things that i can't control, i can only love Japan 🇯🇵❤️🥰
I share your thoughts. I am in LOVE with Nihon but it's not my goal to learn to hook up but bcs I really appreciate the culture and all that comes withit❤
I think this is very cool but it also shows the level of respect for the relationship. My friend has a wife from Okinawa and they've been married for almost 18 years. He does not speak a word of Japanese . That is his choice I just think that is Bad Manners. Last time I checked you were supposed to grow as a couple which means you learn different things as the years go on. I'm learning Japanese because I like the culture and I like the language. If I become seriously involved with a Japanese woman I think that would be a huge bonus. But very good posting thank you
Great video, you and your husband are a great team👏👏👏, enjoyed this video a lot ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🤗 I'm glad you enjoyed
Good and informative video!🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Great to see Justin included in your content.
He helps many things (video ideas, translation, title etc) on my videos lately 😁
That's good to know, thanks a lot :)
Thanks for watching..Glad it was helpful!
It's true. Apart from language and cultural barriers, it's difficult to even meet someone let alone connect and build something.
I'm living in Fukuoka currently, and even meeting girls for dating (something not really grasped in Japan compared to western understanding) is quite difficult.
Awesome video!!! I defenently want to learn way more Japanese than I all ready do, and I was hearing Hiro in the background and he has such a cute voice 😍
Keep it up 💪 Haha, Hiro wanted to chat too 😆
@@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan thanks 😊
Please add subtitles for Hiro, too.
Nice that you’re living a good life. Keep it up.
OMFG, his japanese is really good, pronunciation and all. You have videos where he explains how is his history with learning it?
Yes. Both people really need to learn the language to fully understand one another
I'm 42 and ever since I was 7 years old I wanted to learn Japanese. Never got around to it. Figured it'd be too difficult. That dude is my idol.
Justin do be lookin like the American version of Mick Gordon.
I think the biggest thing is having a good job and English teaching doesn’t cut it. If you can get a good job without learning Japanese then all is well. Or if she is open to moving to the US then that’s ok too.
I guess for me. I am a bit discouraged at the moment. I have been in Japan for 7 months and have hit a bit of a wall with Japanese. Granted, I don’t think I am totally down and out because when I need to speak I find myself switching to what I do know pretty easily.
As for dating… I have Japanese woman I do interact with but I have no way of telling if they are actually interested me or just playfully flirting with me because I am foreigner. I am not really good at picking up the signals here in Japan. In America woman tend to be very direct if they like or don’t like you. Here, it feels almost like a Japanese woman will find ways to be around you but at the same time only interact with you sometimes but still be sure to be near by. It’s hard to explain, I feel like it’s almost like she wants to see how I’ll react.
7 months is nothing, trying being here for 4 years and still only knowing basic Japanese and yeah I can't even put sentences together. I study every day for an hour or two, the language is just not intuitive at all if you come from a western language. As far as the dating thing, you gotta make a move man, that's when you find out if she likes your or not. You can't this feminine western thing where you're half in and half out. Id say if you haven't had sex by like the 5th date, then she's not interested/just wants to friendzone you. The friendzone is super common in Japan. Anyway, be more masculine than you were in the west b/c they are not super feminist/masculine women here. They won't tell you they like you and sometimes they won't even know it themselves until after they've had sex with you, then they backward rationalize it, "oh I must like them then!" And yes they always want to see how you react, they are always judging you.
Don't worry to much most Japanese men I know find dating Japanese women difficult as well. They are just as confused as you are. I'm seeing a trend here amougst my Japanese peers. More and more of them are heading to places like Thailand, Vietnam and even Taiwan for wives which was unheard of when I first come here. Even with me after dating numerous Japanese girls I eventually ended up with a Korean girl living in Japan. Nothing against Japanese women just found them difficult to figure out and never knew where I really stood with them. Whereas my Korean girlfriend is very straightforward with her feelings and we have no communication issues.
As an American with a Japanese partner. YES you absolutely need to know Japanese and the culture for the relationship to work. Communication and understanding each other is the core/foundation of a successful, meaningful and lasting relationship❤
What if people with speech issues due to natural birth or autism (i.e. Asperger's syndrome) would want to speak Japanese but at the same time their learning curve can be varied on the person with autism or speech issues, can they be able to find success on a relationship with a Japanese woman? I would love your opinion on this Asagi-san. I can understand that this video is understandable for most of the people without the aforementioned symptoms caused by natural causes.
Thanks for your advice Asagi-san!
I've put to the side the thought of working in JP after not getting into JET, not great economy, and stuff.
I really want to stand out better for my friend whenever I take vacations, but sometimes I wonder if I need to encourage her to practice English a little too or if I just keep at it with me improving my JP.
I've been studying Japanese for a month and a half and I've been able to just about communicate with the locals here. I believe with more time I can get better. Gambatte!!!
Gambette is more like you say it to someone else "do your best!" I think its something else to say good luck to me.
Been married to my Chinese wife for 10 yrs still have no idea what she says and we speak the same language
HOLEY MOLEY MISSED THIS WEEKEND YEAH ITS ME DJ SURAMAN LEARNING KOREAN SO BADLY 😇
Important? Yes, especially if you're looking for something beyond casual dating and plan to stay in Japan.
Someone is going to be spending some time with H.R after analizing all those sales...
Same for Japanese women born and raised outside of Japan including Japanese-Americans
I have social anxiety, and using italki would terrify me, but I wouldn’t know where else to start communicating. (I’m not going to try until I’m at least an ‘intermediate or advanced beginner’.
Maybe you can start with practicing writing. They have simple questions that you can answer.
Justin's Japanese is impressive.
I'm impressed too! I admire him studying Japanese for 10 years and being fluent
How did your husband end up coming to Japan? I was there years ago and would love to go back. Can’t figure out exactly how in terms of staying for any length of time.
Id say yeah its pretty essential from my experience. My gf speaks 8.5/10 english, but I still wanna have a good relationship with her parents. They speak no English, apart from a couple basic phrases. I really wanna be able to bond with them, so Im trying my best to study.
I bet it's not, Japanese who have been learning English all their lives vs a Westerner who started maybe in college. Like in other Asian countries, women who are interested in dating foreigners would already have a decent English level
But it's a nice way to show you respect your partners culture and also you won't annoy your partner by having to rely on them for everything to live. For some people it's like their partner is a personal translator / assistant instead of a partner lol
8:14 Repeat this quote if you think getting by without speaking the language isn't a big deal.
Good video....., is it true that City/town halls and banks only have paperwork in Japanese!!
In the UK and EU such places have from English to Chinese to Arabic, and all other widely spoken languages if ask them...!
It depends. For government paperwork like taxes, immigration paperwork and more English forms are available in Japan. I don't know about other languages as I haven't looked for them.
Yes, English and Chinese tend to be more available, but you most likely have to communicate in Japanese 😅
Do you know if tokyo or osaka is better to make friends and have a gf i wanna be a internation student and study language then go to uni there and even play vollyball sounds cringe i know
What about the language of money? I’ve heard that Japanese wives control the husband’s money. (I don’t think most American men would be ok with this).
Pretty accurate actually, easy enough to date but a serious relationship this is spot on. So instead I married a Chinese woman. 😅
Then I guess you speak Chinese. That's also a difficult language 😲
ru mad 😂
lol that's hilarious because I'm the same. I dated a Japanese woman but the language was the main issue as I'm just not good at learning languages, tried learning Japanese for 2 years but in the end we broke off our engagement. Also I wanted to live in UK she wanted to live in Japan. So I ended up marrying a Chinese woman after we broke up.
Justin👍First time I’ve seen you in a video. かっこいい！😊
Aw thanks He is fluttered haha
Wow sounds like yall are saying international love is nearly impossible even if you happen to have a crush on that person. So an automatic loss? That’s just sad bro
Oh it definitely has more difficulties, or at least things you have to work on more than same-nationality relationships. Some couples enjoy getting over them, some end up break up/divorce. The question is which one are you?
It's logical and it's also respecting your partner. If you want to have a foreign girl/guy you need to speak the language. You cannot be lazy and rely on english only. This video sum up perfectly
@@NickN56 Yeah I get the respecting part, A concern of my is the chance on winning this fight for a relationship might be even lower like I am Chinese technically Taiwanese American pure blood so I speak 2 languages but Korean and Japanese thats going to take time and patients to learn. Btw learning the language during a relationship is ok too right? I am also assuming speaking is like minimum requirement
@@minatonamikaze9393 Why would you give up before you start? Advice is about averages- love is about a single person.
You really need to understand how important it is to learn the language. Don't be that person who moves here and thinks you don't need to learn it. Don't believe the click bait videos saying you can live here just fine without learning Japanese. You'll miss out on most things. Trust me, having a date or relationship through Google translate is embarrassing as hell.
before I even watch the Video, the short answer to the Title question is... Obviously Yes.
It might be an obvious answer, but it's hard to act.
Oh look at Asagi with her man. Good for you Asagi. Go well.
Y'all are so 🅲︎🆄︎🆃︎🅴︎. Also... I'm tryna be like Justin fr🫡
Aw thanks! Justin is such a hard worker I learn a lot from him too 😊
Rainbolt?
what about spanish instead?
I think I can’t stand about people who marry foreign people is that they seem to lose their own identity and move over completely to the other persons culture and identity, personally whoever I date, I have no intentions whatsoever on learning another language, my language is my language and my culture is my culture, that’s not saying that I don’t respect another persons culture, I’m just not going to change myself to suit someone else, like me for me
Asagi your husband married WAY up. Enough said.
Guys ! mans and womans sometime cant understand inch other with same language! Japan its Asian country. Relationship its hard work
I live in Tokyo, and Japanese VERY important, without you like just tourist
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Her face is insanely gorgeous. 😍
I think that for relationship is not necessary. But if you want to have more japanese women as "dateable" options, you definetly should learn it.
And if you plan to move to Japan, you NEED to learn japanese, because that's my problem now...nobody wants to hire me because my japanese is poor =(
Aren't you an engineer? I think there might be a few more options even if you don't speak Japanese if you are an engineer. But gambatte, keep looking! 💪
WHy is he talking to an English speaking audience in Japanese?
2:15 -- but a Japanese woman cant teach a man japanese? You have to learn from a speaker of your own gender right?
Hell na
🧂
Welp good luck then 😂 but don't come back and cry your ass in the comments later 😂
Good Looking Couple. I guarantee the Baby is Cute. Asagi looks Great btw. Keep up the Awesome Work.
Aw thanks! We're all fluttered 👩🏻👱🏻👶🏻
grabehag agtang
Don't encourage the weebs
Weebs? Are you talking about you?
"Weebs" won't even travel to Japan in their lifetime this video is for normal people
In a previous video, you said a man should be fully shaved to date a Japanese woman, other wise he looks dirty... But yet your husband looks unshaved and unkept... Can you explain please?
