Kiara is Amazed By Korone's English Comprehension and Translation Skills [Hololive]

- Korone loves a lot of Western movies, cartoons, and shows, so she might've picked up a lot of listening skills from those.
Kiara asks Korone to translate English to Japanese during their Off-collab, and Korone does an amazing job, much to Kiara's surprise.

It’s nice to see how good Korone English is, she doesn’t speak English that often even but she really could with her skill, her English skill is even higher then Miko’s Japanese skill
I mean she has a pretty unique and hard to comprehend accent sometimes even for Japanese people so I feel like her English skill is often kind of understated due to her heavy accent also. I find the same thing with Subaru, her English is super good but she can just be hard to understand due to her accent.
Well, I guess a lot of JP members have been studying English, like Korone, Marine, Suisei, Towa, etc. They might not be able to speak it, but I guess they understand it very well. Comprehension and speaking are two different skills unfortunately
@@Noobie2k7 yeah. Subaru surprised me during the YuruHoloYukuHolo, where she knoes Rice Cake = Mochi.
understanding a language and speaking it are completely different skills
It's always easier to understand foreign language than to speak it. My japanese is very similar to Korone's english - I can understand quite a bit, but speak it... oh dear.
I love that when Kiara asked how to say Dorayaki in English, Korone's response was saying Dorayaki while imitating an english accent.
Lmaaoooo
Well, she's right i think
@@VaissdestrucAt least in the sense of saying it in an "English" accent, but the specific way she said it was slightly off. There's two ways you could say it actually: say it close to Japanese but with "English" phonemes/sounds such that the stress is placed where it'd have a high pitch-accent in Japanese, *or* say it with the natural stress-pattern of English (that is, in the same way as Calliope or Penelope).
How to say Hamburger in japan...."Hambaga"...its mind blow....lolololol....
Kiara: "How do we explain dorayaki?"
Korone: [says dorayaki the way an EN foreigner would]
You can tell early on in the clip that Kiara's just really fascinated by how Korone chooses to phrase her translations since even the pauses sound natural.
This is even more impressive when you consider how different sentence structure is between English and Japanese. But Korone made it work anyway because she's amazing like that.
It's pretty much what you'd expect a pro translator to be doing, and it's seriously impressive.
Uh go watch her defuse a bomb with mori
I wonder how well Korone would do in an English collab, she certainly understands a lot.
Korone's a bit like Subaru I think, where decent English comprehension is worlds away from competently and confidently being able to speak it.
"I'm die. Thank you forever."
@@rade-blunner7824 Well, if you learn English as a second/third/more language, it's really easy to get to understand and read it well without being able to speak it.
It's often easier to find movies and tv series to watch (learning how to understand spoken English) than it is to find someone with whom to practice speaking it.
And we know Korone loves old American movies.
@@rade-blunner7824 Korone did say that they talked about everything in this video earlier so I imagine that helps a lot. I think Subaru's still 3rd behind Lui and Haachama though. If you watched her personally translate the Henry Stickmin series before the JP version was available you'd know why
@@villahermosasebastian8794 Even long before the Henry Stickmin arc I remember there was a stream where Subaru was translating whole paragraphs of English text on the fly for her viewers and it blew their minds. I forget what game she was playing.
I feel Korone could pull a Tenma and learn english entirely by watching Die Hard over and over (in english with english subtitles). Her comprehension seems very solid already.
How do you think she got this good? She hasn't studied English post schooling like Sora. She just learned from watching movies over and over. Her sub account twitter is proof of that
Yippie kai yay madafaka
@@venkaramon iirc, she started taking proper classes mid-2020, a few months before that famous English-only Super Mario stream. She was already moderately good before that though due to her being something of a westaboo, but nothing crazy.
She's saying yippie KY eh mF.
her comprehension skill seems to be really up there. Whats more amazing is how attentive she was to remember what Kiara has said and being able to keep retention of what was said in the order it was said.
That's just Korone. She remembers everything. Okayu said Korone is her sd card memory because Okayu is forgetful and Korone reminds her of everything. Korone also remembers to the point of what her fellow talents call her as a nickname and will call out ANYONE who suddenly changes what they call her
Except "A-chan" apparently, LOL
Not to mention remembering HOW Kiara said it. You could tell Kiara was testing her limits at the end and Korone translated it perfectly.
Korone's language skills aside, wow what a treat it is to see just how well these two personalities vibe together♡ Effortless friends♡
Korone is a dog, effortlessly becoming friends is just what dogs do
True that. I friend-ship a lot of the girls with one another, but I didn't see this one coming, but it is a welcome sight.
Very impressive Eigo from Korone, though my biggest takeaway from this is that Korone does 9+ hour streams while sitting without a back support? Every time I think she can't impress me more, she somehow does it lol
She also streams with speakers instead of headphones. Which makes sense. Headphones would be painful
My theory is since she is a boxer she must have a strong/trained core and less back pain.
If you train your back muscle you can sit for hours without back pain
@@betonamu7514 Not really. I could 1 arm row korone but I'd probably not be able to stand without pain if i did her streams for a week.
Bockshing doggo?
What's funny is that Korone likes to listen to Kiara's streams in the background so in a way Kiara''s been helping Korone with her english without even realizing it.
Sugoi
kiara: so how do we explain dorayaki in English?
korone: don't worry, I got this.
doRAyaKI
me: wheeze
jokes aside her comprehension is amazing and astounding. it's like damn
edir: I should've watched the whole clip before writing this down cause damn!
3:13 that "dou" was well deserved
Forgot how *incredibly* smart Kiara is being she is Trilingual, being able to speak German, English and Japanese
Most younger people in Europe are trilingual I believe. We usually learn our own language, then English and either German, French or Spanish with some schools having broader options. I'm surprised Kiara never learned a third language in school, or maybe she did and I missed it.
That’s pretty typical for a lot of Europeans lol
@@lunarath1 I had French as a third language but I wouldn't call myself trilingual. In my experience the third language only rarely makes it to conversional level.
Also Latin is a common offer for a third language and you ain't gonna speak that anywhere.
@@MyGawd- not to this degree of fluency
It's not that rare in Europe
i genuinely believe Korone has a genius level intellect. Tensai da. Proof? look at her.
Sasuga Tokyo U graduate.
@Platonix beat me to it, but yeah, she studied at the University of Tokyo, which is one of the top schools in the world. Extremely difficult admissions, somewhat similar to Harvard in the USA or Oxford in the UK
@@JamesJacksonKFPDad999 Dont mean to rain on your parade, but she later clarified that the Tokyo U thing was a joke.
@@vergilthealphaandomega8189 @Vergil, The Alpha and Omega Especially when she got so smug during a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire game, choosing the wrong answer and immediately losing the game early.
@@JamesJacksonKFPDad999 Depends on what field of study, it’s not THAT hard
I knew that Koro-san has been getting really good at English but DAMN my jaw was on the floor during this part.
Korone is like one of those characters in fiction that is super overpowered but just wants to have fun so they don't get involved in whatever the conflict of the narrative is. I always think of Subaru as kind of the protagonist of Holo but Korone would be that mid-season character that shows up and can do everything but they just want to live happily baking their bread by the sea or whatever.
>One Punch Doge
Korone is just a streamer for fun
The legendary overpowered char that shows up, saves the crew, and leaves without elaborating further. And when the MC asks if they want to join the gang, they reply with a big no.
1:08
Kiara - how do I explain dorayaki in English?
Korone - DOraYAki
Nailed it
This was a really adorable collab, I really want to see Korone do more one on one collabs with EN
Korone might have the best EN comprehension among the JP girls right now. Several are really good if you speak slowly, but for that HUGE paragraph about Korone’s bench, Kiara talked at a pretty normal pace for native/fluent speakers talking to other native/fluent speakers, and Korone understood and remembered almost the entire thing. Even though I think some like Subaru and maybe Lui and Chloe could UNDERSTAND it, I think Kiara would’ve had to slow down. Or they certainly wouldn’t have got nearly the entire thing.
That was dog damn impressive! (Instead of goddamn lol) Sasuga, Korone! Galaxy brain dog!
Lui would have no problem, Chloe would need her to slow down, and Subaru would be okay but might miss a word or two.
Why are Kiwawa and Korone so damn cute?
I work as a professional interpreter/translator who supervises a bunch of volunteers and I would do some very unspeakable things to get more volunteers with Korone’s ability to adopt her source’s tone and mannerisms. Often it’s a lot easier to teach someone how to rephrase the source language in another language than keeping the entire intent of their speaker
As expected from the Dog God herself
I forget which stream it was recently, but I made a comment on how impressed I was with how good Korone's English comprehension has gotten so it's awesome to get a flat out showcase of it. I wonder how many people remember her talking about how she wants to learn English so she can communicate with her overseas Koronesuki.
Holy shit, with Korone's ability to retain the things she heard she could very well work as an interpreter
Whoa that's crazy good English comprehension. I thought Kiara was pushing it with that last long bit but Korone nailed the whole thing.
Korone relaying Nodoka's name but immediately forgetting A-chan is a big oof moment XD
Okay that last translation was actually insane, the dog is AMAZING!!!
Understanding language, typing and speaking it are very different beasts. I learned English on my own, i watched movies, anime (sub) etc in English with no issue whatsoever, but when i moved to UK for a while and tried to speak English i was a mess. Tho it did get a lot better relatively quickly but still, my speaking skills were far below my undertanding.
After certain point the only way to improve your foreign language is to speak and interact with natives. CEFR has A1-C2 skill set, however B2 is more than enough and learning from textbooks, etc becomes practically useless.
In your defence, some parts of the UK have people speak in such a way that they sound like they're speaking a different language entirely, even though they actually are speaking English.
@@dreamcore7 Absolutely. I learned more english after being done with school that what we got in the lessons. More of a natural speech, lots of stuff that isn't really taught in school, and the confidence to actually use it.
I'm in the same situation, i understand everything, i can even answer anyone if i write it down, but when it comes to actually communicating with someone in real time, yeah my brain just shuts down instantly :D
It's funny how sometimes u can understand a language better than speaking it...she should be korones English teacher lol
Korone is on fire
I knew Korone understood some English but dang! Of course speaking it is definitely different but I think she has a good enough grasp that if she started to talk to and collab with EN she could be fluent pretty quickly.
It's amazing how well Korone has come along, she used to stumble during her english streams but now I think she has a better understanding then I do with Engrish being my first language. Bread Dog is filled with determination!
By the power of WOOF.
The smartest dog I've ever seen. Man, her English has been improving so well! It's amazing that she can even comprehend Kiara's English while she was talking in a fast pace.
I loved this collab so much, my two favorite Holo members having fun talking and playing games! HotDog forever!
Smart koone, pat pat
As an English teacher in Japan, I'm getting second-hand pride from hearing how well Korone translated that!
More than her English comprehension, I'm impressed by how much she remembers. She could really become a professional translator in like, diplomatic situations etc.
Actually she is really good at English now, not even Elite Miko can fight Koone now xD
Please be encouraging to our Elite Baby. She’s working very hard learning both Japanese and English, and with so much hard work is now barely able speaking either.
Haachama: Been educated in English in Australia
Korone: Does perfect Japanese to English translation
Haachama: Panik in Haachama
It's kind of crazy to think how much better Korone has gotten at English just in the limited time that I've been watching Hololive. Some of the first Hololive clips I remember seeing were of her trying to speak English and they were adorable but there's NO WAY that THAT Korone could so effortlessly translate from English into Japanese what Kiara is saying. I'm also starting to notice that her English pronunciation continues to improve and she's sounding more and more like Lui in that regard.
I remember Korones english only Mario stream! She’s gotten so much better!
have confidence
Three brothers!
Turtle. Turtle house. Small, small turtle house.
I am Goofy
Kiara be like: Damn, senpai, you stream like this?
Doggo’s englishu getting better and better 🎉 🐶
Korone: "I'm die. Thank you forever."
these two are very cute together. great off collab.
korone's english comprehension and translation is amazing. korone's doing really great.
Years of "Hey Guys" training have paid off 💪
She's getting so good at understanding English its so much better than from a couple years ago. So proud of her
I've wanted to see these two stream in forever! They were the first JP and EN memebers I got really attached to. They seem like such close friends now
That is honestly super impressive. She legit translated everything perfectly. I feel like she did better than some translators in the UFC lol. I thought kiara was gonna speak slow to help a little but she didn't even have to
Korone?! On holotalk?! What year is it?! I've been waiting patiently for that day!!
Meat video! Thanks for uploading!
I'd like to imagine that Korone just has a park bench in her room that she uses as a gaming chair.
Korone might not be great at speaking English but she can comprehend it quite well.
3:34 Her "Victory" response of nowhere was so cute
As a linguist with multiple years passively learning Japanese, this is absolutely incredible. Korone's translations are effectively professional, and she does them basically instantaneously. She could easily be a real time translator for EN>JP exchanges.
Sasuga big brain ko'one
Korone is getting so great at understanding english, now she just has to be confident and speak it more haha
Sasuga international doggo!🤎 korone’s English-only Mario streams is actually what got me into Hololive and the second video I saw was Kiara debut funnily enough :p I wish there were more English streams from the JP girls, even if it’s a bit clumsy at times and they sometimes need some JP in there it’s so funny and cute❤
I know Korone took formal English lessons for a time in 2020, but I imagine most of her knowledge comes from being a movie buff, which is crazy
Surprisingly strong combo from these two, I hope we get more of it in the future.
Like that's actually REALLY good.
Translating is one thing.
Doing it in REAL time is crazy hard!
I'm more impressed with so many comments that didn't know that korone was a westaboo who understands english perfectly, a master. Everyone already knew that.
This. Real ones know.
Korone’s watched Jurassic Park so many times that she knows the subtle background music in each scene
Wow Korone’s English comprehension is amazing!
Kiara is great at collabing with everyone, it's a gift. What many don't know is that Korone is just as good and gets along great with everyone as well.
remembering korone only english stream. so much progress now, Im proud of her
Korone translate with big eyes open and happy face, like a puppy doing some trick and waiting for petting
Oh wow okay. The lessons really have come a long way. That's insane. Hell I probably couldn't repeat all the stuff someone said even in English, I'd just forget immediately
Yes this really was my favorite part from this stream! Korone did a great job translating!
This is really impressive.
Especially the memorizing what the speaker said and how they said it part!
Korone's English comprehension is astounding. I was amazed when I was watching the stream. We've all heard her speak some English, and she's done some English only streams even, but I had no idea that she was at this level.
I really love the way these two are so comparable to each other. It's like they were split at birth and finally managed to meet for the first time and had an insane chemistry and were so very alike. Almost twins even! I would love to see more future streams with Kiara and Korone.
a fricking bench???? this fricking gamer doggo realy gaming on a fucking bench 10 hour a day
I’m glad that our doggo is improving on her English…
I’m so proud of her…
Wow she's really come a long way. That's great!
The dog is so good at understanding English. Make sure to give her a treat.
I'm so proud of her
ko'one big brain doggo!
Legitimately impressed
The Doggo's Tokyo U education really comes in handy 👌👌👌
It is nice to have it confirmed just how well Korone's English study has gone. She has been studying hard for a long time but we do not have many occasions to have it demonstrated.
as expected of the god doggo she is always leveling up
Nice clip! No yabe, no clickbait, just funny/impressive moment translated. Thanks jshay!
It feels like Korone and Kiara just get along with everyone, so it's great to see them mesh so well together.
When Korone said DOraYAki, I completely understood what it was.
What a wholesome combo
Oh man I forgot all about Korone's wild seating setup xD
Been waiting forever for Holotalk ft. Ko'ne
Kiara: How do you say Dorayaki in english?
Ko'one: ↗Do ↘ra↗ Ya↘Ki _(with an english slang)_
*LANGUAGE 100*
i remember she did really well in the telephone game from mikorone stream
Not gone lie, that was really impressive from Korone. I didn't expected that her English knowledge is that advanced. Big respect for our favorite dog.
Korone is absolutely adorable, but damn, she's really smart too
that was freakin adorable. im smiling ear to ear
Ooh! Korone and Kiara.
Tis a great combination indeed.
I'm excited for that HoloTalk/Dog
Wow, I'm really impressed by how well Korone did! She's come so far! Also I had NO idea that Kiara went to go visit Krone in Japan, that's awesome and this seems like such a wholesome stream! I love how Koronoe's model is just like rolling around everywhere too lol very dog energy
oh wow I rem hearing about the sofa and thought like a couch but its the bench of the sofa.
Korone knows what the viewers love. She's the best.
Of course a dog feels more comfortable on a sofa than a gaming chair, makes sense
I am stunned, I am shocked, I am so proud of this doggo! holy crap
I never thought Kiara and Korone would make such a good duo, but here we are!
Looking forward to that HoloTalk
Cute dog and bird!
