put the quality to higher if the video turns out low !! also lmk about any of your experiences and thoughts too
Allahumma barik, your progress in Japanese is really good, it’s a language I want to learn as well. Keep up the good work! Btw try swapping out the music for another audio or go without. Your video has much benefit and I want for my sis what I’d want for myself hence not utilizing music due to impermissibility
Jazakallah for the reminder, i no longer use music while i talk in my videos if you check my recent ones :).i hope you’ll also try learning japanese in the future!
I'm excited to have found your channel! I've been learning Mandarin for 6 years now and dabbling in Japanese from time to time along with some other languages.
I've watched most Cdramas on CZcams and there are a few channels that speak Mandarin even though CZcams isn't used much in China.
It is a big undertaking being a beginner in Mandarin but if you focus on being consistent, you'll make progress. I wish you well in your language learning journey!
ahh that’s so cool!! nice to meet people who are involved with mandarin !! yeahh i’ve found that Cdramas are a fun source haha! :’) hopefully i’ll make good progress in the future, and good luck with japanese~
This has motivated me so much!!! I’ve been learning Korean for over 3 years and started Mandarin last year. I also started learning Vietnamese recently and i speak some Japanese!!!❤❤❤
ah that’s so cool to hear! i’ve always wanted to learn korean haha and wow you’re involved with a lot of languages !! props to you for that fr :D
Hi! Chinese person here, you can actually find a lot of Chinese media on CZcams but you would have to search words in Traditional Chinese (mainly Taiwanese content)
ahh thank you for telling me! yeah i tried and i mainly found taiwanese videos but there are definetely a decent amount of videos from mainland chinese creators !
this is actually so amazing! i am learning japenese and i've been thinking about learning korean, but i've always worried about how it would be to learn two languages at the same time, ur vid gave me motivation to start!! good luck with ur learning, and hope u keep updating us with ur progress and tips
ah that’s amazing news!! i realllly wanna learn korean wahh 😭 yeahh it seems scary to learn 2 languages at the same time but you can balance it with simple organisation and it can be made fun !! :3 good luck! happy learning~
Your videos inspire me it's so relaxing ❤
I also want to learn a language and you help me a lot! Thank you 💖
ahh i appreciate it ❤️ i hope your language learning journey goes well if you ever start!
Hey! A mandarin learner here!❤i have been studying mandarin for like- 3 years+ now😅 i just want to say your vids inspire me alot to continue learning and improving my Chinese!😊 Even though ive learned for that long i am still pretty much a beginner bc i still can't understand fast chinese even though they are asking simple quetions like ”你知道你要做下个星期？“ but im starting to notice my improvements! And if im discouraged i always remind myself what my goals on why i started learning it!🫶🏻✨ Ps. I recommend watching donghua/dongman for Chinese 😉
ahhh that’s so cool!! i always feel happy meeting other learners too :D ah yeah chinese takes a while to get used to right? and sure i’ll take your recommendation!!
@@nias_nook well for me? Not really...the sound of it feels quite natural to me....😅 I live in a multiracial country and one of the major races are Chinese people so I am surrounded and immerse with Chinese everyday you could say! So I feel quite lucky tbh....🥹🙌🏻
@@tsukki_moon ahhh what!! that’s so niceee ah that makes it more easier i see ! i guess i just need to immerse myself more to match this effect somehow haha
this will be a great series
Thanks CZcams algorithm to show me your channel. I just got here, but I consider myself a fan because I like your charisma and your way of facing the most commons obstacles for languages beginners. I'm learning Japanese, and even if I know there's a long way to go, I feel more motivated to not give up.
oh wow!! i appreciate this, im really surprised haha !! yes there are definetely big obstacles but we can push through together 💪
im also learning chinese, im hsk2-hsk3 level! and a bit of japanese, but not really focusing on it
ahh thats so cool!! its like the opposite for me haha
@@nias_nook we should practice together ! or help each other with mandarin and japanese
@@leonaa3525 omg sure! sounds like a good ideaaa ^_^
@@nias_nook any idea where/ how we could?
@@leonaa3525 hm… well i have basically every form of social media so you can name any application u wanna use to chat :3
Wow! You’ve made wonderful progress in Japanese after only 4 months! I’ve also started the GENKI 1 textbook recently. I took one semester of Mandarin in school but you’re making me want to pick it up again haha. I also found that it can be a bit difficult to stay committed when you’re self-studying languages, especially with school and work. Having study buddies or teachers definitely help!
this is so true! it can be very difficult yeah 😭 but we persevere when it’s what we’re passionate about and wanna commit to! also, that’s so cool you studied mandarin! i suggest getting back to it 🙏🙏
@@nias_nook I really honestly might get back into Mandarin 👀 I realized I actually like a lot of Chinese media so it might be nice to actually know Mandarin haha. Also Japanese Kanji and Mandarin characters sometimes have the same meaning (very different pronunciation of course) so it sometimes helps to know one of them to learn the other!
@@cheshire_alice precisely !! i thought the same thing… if you’re working on japanese and chinese then you can definetely spot some similarities with kanji meanings but not all are the same obviously haha. i recommend you get back to it + chinese media is plentiful to say the least hehe :3 happy learning~
@@nias_nook Okay you’ve convinced me, I’m studying Mandarin again HAHA. It’s going to be some work balancing both Japanese and Mandarin but I’ll try. Cheers to studying both (being a bit crazy perhaps haha)!🍻
@@cheshire_alice AHH yes do it!!
