I still have a long way to go, but here’s how my experience learning Japanese is going! 🌸 Are you learning Japanese or any other language right now too? ❤

Japanese is literally on the opposite side of the language spectrum compared to English and Spanish. It's hard for most natural English and Spanish to actually learn it. It's quite impressive

As a Japanese person it kinda makes me happy that people wanna learn the language and think its cool. :3 also your Japanese and art is amazing ❤

Today I learned that Wolfy is fluent in Spanish. No me lo imaginaba. Qué bueno.

As a Brazilian who speaks English, Portuguese and Spanish, I'm very happy for you Wolfy, I hope you can learn more languages in the future! Greetings from your fans from Brazil! 🇧🇷❤️

Your taste in anime is PEAK! I'm so proud of you.

once I binged the entire spy × family anime in one day and WHEN I WAS DONE MY THOUGHTS WERE IN JAPANESE FOR A LONG HOT MINUTE.

I like how honest you were throughout this entire video. You didn’t say anything like “it gets easy when you get the hang of it.” You showed many different things you have to do in order to learn it. So thank you for making this and telling me how hard this actually is. (Side note: I think I’m just gonna stick with quoting Japanese words lol)

You all know and love the fact Wolfychu already made another phenomenal video after a week has been thrilling. Props for the dedication and gratitude for more and new videos you plan on making Wolfychu ma'am

I wanted to learn Japanese in school, and me and my friends tried but my only problem is that the rest of my class did not care at all, and they wouldn’t ever listen to the teacher, they would never be quite, they only saw Japanese as a sit down a relax class, yeah it was not fun

Visual novels are also a good option for the Japanese immersion, especially if they have voice acted lines - the dialog is usually presented one to two sentences at a time, and you can have the characters repeat the line if there is a word you don't understand. Most Visual Novels that have an English translation patch, have the translation as a separate file, which can be removed easily - this is especially helpful for practicing reading comprehension, because you can play once with the English subtitles to get an understanding of the story and then a second time with everything being in Japanese.

As a person who mostly speaks English and is trying to learn both Japanese and German and gonna be taking Spanish learning classes next year (2024). This is a huge burst of motivation for me and gives a broader view of how I can tackle learning languages efficiently without feeling exhausted at the end 😅. I'm gonna try using Wolfychu's language routine a try and see if it works out! 👍

I love it! Even Your Japanese Accent Is Cool! Nice Animation Wolfy! And Yes, What An Early Animation! :)

bro my stage of wanting to learn japanese was scary

As an Autistic teenager who's recently been pulled out of school to do homeschooling, you have no idea how much this has helped me! Thankyou so much Wolfychu 😊😊

A new video from you Wolfy never fails to cheer me up from a draining negative day.💙 Seeing and hearing you working hard and putting extra effort for your art and videos made me realized how much I need to stand back up and do my best, instead of just moping around sulking. Thank you Wolfychu for always being a big inspiration. No matter what other people around me say about you. Just know I'll always know and appreciate every effort you put in on your job. Do your best on your japanese studies, and I'll do my best to be like you too someday.

I also learned Japanese by learning about hiragana and katakana via the iPod Touch's Japanese keyboard on top of watching Japanese commercials and anime openings. Eventually I learned proper phrases via Duolingo in order for to me to understand the language better.

I think talking to others is one of the best was to learn a specific language. Good luck wolfy in your Japanese learning journey and become jozu in it ＼⁠(⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠)⁠／

I think you speak Japanese very well, I'm impressed with that 502 streak on Duolingo you reached. Even though I watched various animes with Japanese Dub & English subtitles, I actually don't really speak & fully understand Japanese, despite my mother being Japanese and the fact I know several words. 😅 It also reminds me I once replayed Mega Man 11 with the Japanese Dub, and a few characters had different names compared to their English names, such as Mega Man who is called Rock / Rockman instead. Thank you for another interesting video ! Nice job and keep it up, Wolfy ! 😄

Your animation style has gotten so much more detailed love it. So adorable 😍

This'll help me in my japanese classes during the vacation and the next school year, Thanks!

Well, what can I say? I am hereby proud of you for learning Japanese. 🇯🇵

That's great wolfy watching that you learned Japanese is so cool, although I've tried and it was hard but I'm still willing to learn!

I've been wanting to start learning Japanese for years, but this video was the final push I needed. So, thank you, Wolfy!

I admire your determination in learning kanji, as well as Japanese as a whole. I get burned out too easily. Though, I think I’ll give it another go trying your method this time.

I love your videos! Keep up the good work! You bring smiles to so many people, don't ever forget how loved you are!

Awesome video right there Wolfychu, you did an outstanding job speaking Japanese, keep up the good work.

I’m already fluent in English and French, so, it should be a tiny bit easier to learn Japanese, but it’s going to be really hard for me! You are really good at this, by the way it’s very impressive!

Oh! A new video so soon!? That's awesome! I didn't know you learned Japanase! So that's why you sounded so good in your cover! This is a really interesting video and it gives a lot of great advice! I'd love to learn Japaneae and this gives me more reasons to do so! As always, the editing and the artworks/animation/illustrations are amazing, I can’t get over how good they are! I soecially love how the Red Panda and Luna looked in the beginning! I'm loving these new videos so far! It gives me the vibes of what you truly like to show us and I'm loving it! Great work and keep it up Wolfy!

Switching from dubbed to subbed was the best decision I have ever made in my life, and it just made me love Japanese voice acting and the language in general. It's such a beautiful and cool language.

It was really interesting to hear how different Japanese sentence structure is compared to English by identifying certain words and paying attention to where in the sentence they are. Massive respect to you for taking on such a big task. A while back I was trying to learn German and Gaelic at the same time, and this video really motivated me to pick that back up. Probably just gonna focus on German for a while though. Once I get some more experience under my belt, I certainly intend to try and take on Japanese too! Thank you for sharing your progress and tips with us. Keep up the good work!

It's pretty impressive that it all started when wolfy started learning Japanese just watching anime and then soonly started speaking it

I once had a Japanese class, and i got relly confusing to diferent between katakana, hiragana, and kanji but in the end i manage to be kinda average-ish at my japanese test. And also wolfy amazing animation as always

My brother and I have another trip to Japan coming up this autumn, and while I know a good deal of Japanese already, I feel like I can do more to improve. Definitely need a refresher course, too. I'll take some of the tips shown in this video and see if that helps me along the way, in addition to my own self-taught methods.

Been a while since I've watched one of your videos but the pacing and effects in this one were really well done! Major props to how far you've come with Japanese language learning! It's clear this is a commitment that you've really taken on board. Great work ^^

wolfy is on fire 2 video in one weeks ❤️❣️

Wooow 2 Videos in a week wolfy is on fire

Thank you wolfy for this video soo much! as a person, who loves languages and tries to learn as much as possible about them or learn them, this video makes me really happy, thank you

I’ve been learning Japanese on a similar study plan to yours for a few months now. Fun to hear your experience, and it inspires me to keep making progress!

Awesome Video💙

2 vids in a row?! you already know it's good day I'm learning japenese too

That is amazing Wolfychu! I grew up with English and have taken some years to learn Spanish as well as several computer languages but I would like to learn more at some point and those examples you listed are great ❤ you are dping amaazing and keep it up! 🎉

i've been trying to learn irish in school since i was five and you're completely right - learning a language that's nothing like your native one is extremely difficult, especially considering how different japanese is to english and spanish. great work!

You still make great videos, even to this day. Japanese is amazing!💙

Yay love your vids

Hey every language takes time and you have been doing really good so far from melony down to your songs keep going

I havent watched you in ages, I’m so glad you popped up in my recommended. Your art style and oc is still as beautiful as I remember

Before video: Japanese Looks hard to learn... After video: WOW I learned a lot!!! Also your Japanese was AMAZING still probably won’t learn it but GREAT WORK ON THIS VIDEO Your animation is always SO GOOD!!! Great work🌟

8:00 完璧！perfect！すごく日本語上手ですよ！

So good!!!🥰 keep going you’re doing great!!!💗🌸

good luck wolfy I enjoy your content and ur adventures so looking forward to what is to come.

I have a friend who is fully fluent in 12 languages, including Japanese and Mandarin, and what you described as your current learning path is very similar to his. He grew up bilingual as you did and he stated to learn other languages by immersing himself in that particular language until he felt comfortable. He did say that both Japanese and Mandarin are very difficult to learn but he did it, as you did. I used to speak Spanish fluently but that was 36 years ago. Hoping to pick up Spanish again and learn Russian along the way somewhere. I'm no expert but your Japanese sounds good to me!

I’ve also really wanted to learn Japanese, it seems like such a cool language to learn. I could sing Renai Circulation in its original language, my family is thinking about taking a trip to Japan some day and being a human translator would be fun, and no more subtitles if I ever take another go at anime (I stopped watching it after I woke up one morning and my brother was watching Attack on Titan in our living room, I really wish I didn’t see that)

I got so happy when you gave a shout out to those learning multiple languages :D my hobby is language learning, and I don’t think many people realize how difficult it is, even if you enjoy it. I’ll have people who start out impressed, then get disappointed when I’m not fluent in every language I’m learning, and that even my best language isn’t perfect. It’s refreshing to see someone who understands what a commitment it is!

I may actually take in to account some of your methods. I went to Japan recently this year and would like to go back again in the near future. But before I go I would like to learn enough of the language to be able to have at least simple conversation out there ^^ Your Japanese sounded great Wolfy! Sounded really natural 😊

Hi was just on your channel!!!! I was about to go but then you posted :D!!!

4:47 Oh no Wolfy don't break that streak or duo will break your legs

Wolfy I cant thank you enough for this video

You sounded great Wolfychu! You go girl!

This is so great. I had the same epiphany of "wait, I can actually understand entire sentences of this??", but while listening an Hikaru Utada song (who I discovered through Eva, so it's still weeb related). After this, I began learning Japanese non-passively.

i've been learning japanese for 5 years but i was never really consistent so im still on a intermediate level 😭 but this video is motivating me to continue learning CONSISTENTLY this time ;"))

I appreciate the effort you took to even make a separate video just in short format. 👾🐹

Thank you for the tips Wolfy. Your Japanese at the end of the video sounded really good.

That is about the same way I (and most of my family) learned to speak English My sisters just watched a lot of shows in English and that's how they've learned it (they learned some other languages in that way as well) My class in between the end of 1st grade to 4th grade was pretty bad in English, we needed to learn the abc over and over again because we would've forgotten it in the summer vacation, so in 4th grade we finally learned some other words in English which helped me understan my sisters words in English more, but then I've taken it a step further and caught on to a lot of different words which pushed further in understanding English, by 6th grade I've got my first phone which opened me to a lot of youtube videos and through the context of what people like Vanossgaming, Markiplier etc... I could my Vocabulary extended a lot I still had a few grammatical errors but I was able to speak really well for a 6th grader Then when 7th grade came around I fixed all of my mistakes and become really good in English (I was getting above 90 in every test) In 8th grade my vocabulary extended even further and I became even better in English (every one of my scores in 8th grade was above 95) to the point that in 9th grade I felt like I could already do my finals. (From that point farward I got 98 points in every test I had without even trying) Needless to say that I've never learned for any test in every subject (including English) and I still got very good scores on a lot of them. I only once in 12th grade got a lower score because I was lazy and didn't do a task that I was given (I think it was 75? Whatever) Now I'm Very good at English but I'm sure that I'm missing some words I plan to learn many languages in the future including japanese so this video might be helpful in the future for me Thank you Wolfychu!

Japanese is hard. I should know. I’m half Japanese 😅. Either way I am a big fan of yours and I am amazed of how much you know Japanese! Reading is very hard! 14 years of learning and still idk how to read much. So i hope you keep on practicing to speaking Japanese. 日本すごいじょうずです。これからもがんばってね！👍🏻

There are also many servers and such online so you can practice speaking! the language slot is my personal fave. Good luck to all ya learners! がんばって!!

I've been learning for about a year now, just now reaching Kanji and it's very overwhelming at times, but also pretty fun and rewarding to learn!

As someone who only watches Japanese dub... Hearing Wolfy speak fluent Japanese makes her so much cuter!! I mean she was already the cutest Vtuber I know... But damn did she just cause my heart to doki doki so much!! Keep up the great work Wolfy!!! I know you can get even better!!! ^_^

Very proud to hear you worked so hard to learn to speak Japanese, I am currently working on learning German and it's very fun. Idk if I'll ever need to use it but I'm still happy learning 😊 Edit: I'm using Duolingo as well and I'm on a 69 day streak since last night. I'm very happy

Omg I love your new updated oc!!❤

I totally like your drawing style and thank you very much for the advices. I started learning japanese since a month ago and I understand too how tough it is to memorize every kanji.

I've been seriously studying Japanese for the past 3 months after quitting my long streak in 2020 (Since April) and now I even am in japan, so I can really relate to conversation. Even just a convenience store worker asking me if I want a bag with my 3 packets of ice cream is already confusing, slowly but surely, I'm learning, and that's already good enough for me. がんばって、ウォルフィッチュー！！！

めっちゃ日本語上手いですよ！発音も聞き取りやすい！

this is inspiring. love it. そして良い仕事を続けてください

I started learning in College (Australian College, which is Year 11 and 12 and not University) and I was going pretty steady. Sadly once I started Uni I wasn't able to continue studying in a formal setting as I only had time for my actual classes. That also led me to just basically just forget about studying in my free time which has lead me to forget a lot of vocabulary. Knowing that this format of supplementing personal study with just immersing yourself with people speaking it has given me a little confidence that I may be able to pick it up again. Thanks for this video, even if it was 6 months ago that you posted it lol.

Yeah Japanese isn’t easy, hope I can learn the language one day. Lovely video as always. ❤

I learned how to speak and write Japanese in college, and to this day when I’m reading subs I can sometimes realize that some things get a bit lost in translation. My Japanese teacher once asked me if I was learning Japanese because I liked anime 😅 I lied and told her no.

Ive been planning to move to Okinawa to practice my karate skills when I finish school, so I've been practicing Japanese for about 9 months now. I hope Ill be able to learn it or at least be able to hold a conversation with someone! This really made me feel like i can get there at some point...Thank you and good luck Wolfy!

I've started learning and studying Japanese about 5 years ago but I haven't been able to stay focused on it on the daily likely due to my ADHD or something, but regardless I try to watch as much anime, movies and really any kind of media in Japanese as much as I can to immerse myself greatly in the language, and it's super fun to pull up tanoshiijapanese dictionary and find the origins of different words and Kanji I hear and see in anime. I also recently wanted to start learning German as well because (come on, it's GERMAN, it's cool) and it would be fun to know German and Japanese if I ever move to Japan, because I've heard that Japanese people really like the German language and culture!

I wanna learn Japanese soo bad. It's cool how you learned it

My only question about your self-education of Japanese: *How long it took you?* (some sources claim it can take 2 years at minimum)

I love your videos so much 💗💗💗

I’m trying to learn Portuguese and your recommendations for learning another language is really helping. obrigado ^^

I really want to learn Japanese, but my attention span sucks 😅

I also use Duolingo to learn Korean through I also want to learn Japanese and other languages when I get fluent so I'm learning slowly 🐌😌

Keep going girl your amazing ❤🎉

WOLFYCHU HAS THE BEST ANIMATIONS ON YOU!!! AND YOUR ANIMATIONS ARE CONSISTENTLY AMAZING!!!

You’re Japanese pronunciation is great and I think you do a great job

Hey I subscribed to your channel 😊

I'm almost one year into learning Japanese (after dropping it for awhile because I had NO motivation XD) but you keep learning!

You made big Progress! Maybe I should take notes because I want to go to Japan someday!

I don’t really know Japanese, but your progress definitely shows! Keep up the good work, Wolfy!😁👍

6:48 As a side sleeper who falls asleep with their headphones on often I feel called out.

I did try to learn Japanese way back when I was in Technical College, and my God, I did learn a few things but your efforts are just amazing. I really wish I can have that dedication like you. I hope you can fluently learn Japanese because you sound so cute speaking it. Keep it up!

I often get bullied for trying to learn Japanese, because I’m a different race. Thanks Wolfy for cheering me up and making me feel I can learn it and prove them wrong. It doesn’t matter what race you are, as long as you believe in yourself! ❤😊❤

I honestly don’t think I’ll ever be able to learn Japanese, a lot of the symbols look the same and all the words sound the same 😭

that's so cool I'm learning japanese too , not as fluent as you but i keep trying to achieve a good level of speaking you look like a great person :)

I've actually just started learning Japanese a few weeks ago using the exact same methods. Nice!

This is Literly Me But with Englisch Instead Of Japanese

日本人の私から見ても日本語が全く違和感なくてびっくりした！すごい！声もすごく可愛いですね🫶
