She's not Japanese? How do you know that unless she said so? 🤔 I don't know who she is. I just assumed she was a Japanese citizen. If she was born there or moved there and naturalized to gain citizenship, then she is a real Japanese person. I hope you aren't one of those people that confuse nationality with ethnicity and race. There is no Japanese race. The dominant ethnicity in Japan is yamoto. In Japan, the term Japanese and yamoto are used synonymously even though they are different. Most people in most countries do this, by using their nationality synonymously to refer to their ethnicity. Regardless, neither nationality nor ethnicity involve the way someone looks, which is race. If you meant race, then the term would be Asian, but race and language are not synonymous.

​@@kathir4717 Turn on the subtitles. At some point you will start to learn some phrases. Subtitles are never(usually) a direct translation but instead they are an interpretation.

​​@@kathir4717TV shows are a perfect way to learn because you not only hear everyday phrases, but get to see the appropriate context in which to use them. You also gain a better grasp of _who_ uses those phrases instead of trying to memorize what you're supposed to say to co-workers, _senpai,_ parents, etc. *Edit:* watch actual shows that are current, not historical dramas or weird anime.

My brain is exposed to its own dumb self all day, that can't be good D:

Exactly, that's why language immersion is critical to learning a language. Lessons can only get you so far, you have to listen to others speak the language all day every day. I've heard it said that in the 16th century, the Spanish used to get translators for languages in the Caribbean by dropping someone off on the island and leaving them there for a year. I don't know how true that is, though.

Yeah but I don't see many Japanese use a lot of hand gestures.

Imagine if the first half of every language class was watching and listening to a video of natives of the language, and the second half practicing together - then every homework being the class has to watch an episode of a TV show in the language and answer questions about it the nect class. That would be fun.

This is also why alot of people learn English outside of school. We are more naturally exposed to it by listening to music and watching movies. The same method should be applied to other languages students are interested in.

​@@1212zeek1212 YES! My Spanish improved immensely when I started watching telenovelas one summer at the end of middle school! Unfortunately, I've forgotten so much.

That is how our teachers at school think we should learn a language. I mean, in a really boring way, by learning grammar and reading texts. Most of the teachers have never had any practice with natives in their lives and their pronunciation is generally bad. For example, I'm from Russia. Teachers at school and college where I studied could not even speak fluently, also they read texts with terrible Russian accent.

Can’t understand her but I notice her intonation seems extremely not English lol

​@sebastiangutierrez1780 the way Asian languages (generalizing) are pronounced, comes from a lot of the mouth movement - that's also why when someone from a lot of the major Asian countries (there are 48 Asian countries per a quick Google search) have an accent from not using the same movement that say English speakers use when they are speaking in English (probably also happens in other languages too, especially where the mouth is more open when speaking like English). ❤

Well, there are some foreigners who are as fluent (or more) than she is, vocabulary-wise, but she's a singer-songwriter (according to her KZfaq channel @yanacchi), so it makes sense that she has a more natural sense of pitch than the average foreign speaker.

All things considered, she used the most effortless and natural approach. It's a form of passive immersion that requires patience as an adult, but the results speak for themselves.

Her study method did NOT require a lot of effort and no, the very few people who attain this level of natural speaking just didn't waste their time inefficiently. Cope more

@@seinou7471 OK, that is not true at all. Learning any language at all requires lots of effort, particularly when it comes to forcing yourself into an immersive situation outside of the language's home country. This woman has been learning the language for at least a decade, if not more, outside of the country. I will say that speaking is probably the easiest aspect of it for the majority of people. Reading and writing the language tends to require a lot more education in order to get right.

Gives me hope, thank you ❤

I too, learned 2 languages using this method. 🙂 If you master it, it can be very effective at any age.

For the average person who isn’t developing, it’s not possible. You can’t just hear a phrase once then immediately understand its structure, meaning, and application especially if it’s a foreign language.

Yes but growing up most people learn the conventionalities of their nornal and immediate environment and tend to stick to it subconsciously by default (hence asians have these asian accents when speaking english, or americans having these american accents when speaking asian language). Only people who have a knack for flexibility can mimic it accurately and precisely. Most are creatures of habits.

I imagine you are complimenting her skill at learning Japanese, and I believe you. But there is another reason something similar happens in the US. I’ve met Germans and Dutch who speak English more clearly and with better grammar than some Americans. Indeed, this is probably happening more because many American schools are getting worse and worse, more and more dumbed down, and “graduating” students who are only semi-literate. Then there are those who think that speaking or writing well is racist and “acting white.” Okay, fine. See how far that gets you.

I grew up in a ghetto. Crab culture is real.

hahahaha!

​​​@@odietamo9376probably also because they tend to think you already have a good grasp on the language. So for native speakers, the class on their language will be more about literature than grammar and spelling. At least it was the case for me in secondary school here in Germany. I could analyse Faust but had forgotten the rules regarding placement of commas we had learned 8 year prior. In english class we never stopped repeating the grammar rules. Probably the same for you guys, just the other way around

For me as a Spanish speaker i found Japanese to be quite similar. Not in the sense of the words being the same but more in pronunciation.

​@@DivinaCdo you speak japanese?

are u Japanese? they said even if u're half Japanese u will still be considered as foreigner in japan, so even if u're fluent and live ur whole life in Japan, if u don't look like japanese or if u are only a half Japanese, u will still be considered as foreigner

Anyone can learn and be fluent in any language. I’m not ethnically Norwegian, but I’m adopted and grew up in Norway, and live here still. If you didn’t know how I looke like, and only heard my voice, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between me and some ethnic white Norwegian by speech alone. Being good at a language is not only hard work, but also talent and also love learning about other cultures and languages especially is very helpful in that aspect. I still get racist reactions when I meet people, especially if they’ve only talked to me on the phone or red my name, yet when they meet me they are shocked because my ethnic appearance doesn’t click with my language skills, which is of course ridiculous as we live in 2024, not the Middle Ages, and Norwegian is after all my 1st language besides English.

@@xjvxzBecause in Asia ethnicity vs nationality isn’t really a thing. Also because the cultures and societies are heavily dependent on the tightness of community spirit. Individuality is not a thing and so being different is like a social death sentence or social suicide. Why no one wants to be different or stick out.

It’s time consuming and requires a lot of effort from adults. Kids have all the time in the world to spend on language acquisition; adults are often too busy trying to earn money and survive.

babies use it everyday

Correct. You hear commonly repeated words and phrases and subconsiously pick them up and, through context, just learn what it means.

With a name like yours I'm assuming you can speak it 😂

Oooohhh that’s good. I’m going to try doing that with the languages I know aside from English. I am forgetting a lot of my other two languages. But if I speak it to myself regularly this might be good. Thanks!
