oops, my bad.

Haha you are all okay! If Marine calls me a Marshmallow then damn right im going to be a Marshmallow

Time for a name change man

Your name was well fated 🙏

lmao

Classic Senchou

I have the same issue in reverse - my native English speaking is very fast by most accounts but I find Japanese too fast to pronounce the syllables.

@@mrindigo1069 nice on you, my man, to actually learn Japanese.

@@RambleOn07 I learned a bit in school about 15-20 years ago, never practiced it, and then got inspired (guilted) to relearn it around HoloEN debut when I saw Kiara and Ina were both trilingual, and seeing all the JP girls putting in so much effort to learn English. If they can work at it, why shouldn't I?

@@mrindigo1069 I got inspired seeing Korone and Okayu clips and realizing I desperately wanted to be able to watch these girls' full streams. I've been learning for just over a month now

My family probably think I'm werid smiling so hard 😂

Yeah, my family always gets sus of what I’m watching when I’m just sitting there trying my absolute hardest not to smile like a complete idiot.

Same

She's so cute now I can't even smile

#Relatable

Relatable.

Someday, shabby might be out of work because marine can just speak english more often lol

@@crimsama2451 the day shabbysubz becomes shabbyclipz

@@crimsama2451 he'll just have to put Japanese subs

Be honest, none of any holomem improved their English at all, can't blame them tho

@@Haunt888 no

I was thinking the same. Her speed when she knows what she's saying isn't too bad. When she hits a word she doesn't know is when she speaks much more slowly. The machine translated text was too fast for me personally, a native english speaker. I mean I could understand it, but it was much too fast for casual speak. Only someone who speaks 500 wpm would speak like that.

Her speed in English is kinda normal if you put her in the South or Midwest. Once you get North/Northeast the pace picks up in every way of life, speech included.

Yeah her english tempo is more relaxed rather than outright slow. Meanwhile the computer voice is in a real rush to get those words out fast.

How fast does the machine speak in words per second? For ads, a 30s ad should be 75 words at max, or about 2.5 words per second.

The TTS voice sounded pretty normal to me (Midwesterner) until I tried to say it myself. I still think the pace is fairly normal for most sentences, but "well received" specifically is awkward to say and I had to slow down for it. Probably part of why we don't actually say that.

Their is a thing called immersion learning. Which is basically throwing yourself in the deep end and figuring it out while you’re there. I’m attempting that and seeing how it goes

@@fist-of-doom487 I guess that's what I do from watching anime? I've watch anime since 2000's and I can understand Japanese better now

You'll need to combine the immersion learning with other learning techniques, immersion only really serves to give you the opportunity to practice and hear more language than in other settings- if you aren't actively learning a language, immersion can actually be detrimental to language learning. You got this bro.

No, you’re right. Senchou does just speak fast in Japanese, that was the first thing I noticed when I first watched clips of her.

She speaks really, really fast in Japanese compared to most people lol

it's true even in her bio on the Vtuber wiki, she is described as a fast paced talking girl, I remember even in some clips of her some translators had to put notes saying they couldn't translate what she was saying because sometimes she talks too fast. LOL

i think the only JP vtuber i've seen with a faster speaking pace than marine is tomoshika from VOMS, that girl is a serious motor mouth haha

@@ShinyMcshine bro facts. She's insane.

I mean, that's pretty much what happened. She realized that her speaking slowly and being shocked by fast English is just how someone new to Japanese feels when encountering a fast-talking native speaker

You really can teach an OLD dog new tricks

Dozens of phrases and a few hundred words actually isn't that much at all. Also you need to know grammar and be comfortable using and improvising with it to really get comprehension going. To even hold every day conversations you need to know thousands of words.

@@azrielackerman4659 ow.

@@AceStrife ehehe it's a harsh truth, it's so so great when you know those words and you feel excited to use them of course! But, it's also important to be realistic about how much work you need to put in.

@@azrielackerman4659 as a dip shit who's bilingual and slowly realizing how lacking i am in my mother tongue (Spanish) it makes it really fucking hard to speak to my extended family since they're primarily Spanish speakers. My reasoning for allowing my Spanish to essentially stagnate into a beginner level; I was 10 when I moved out of my original birth state. From there on, I slowly lost the need to really speak Spanish. Woops. Rusty as hell now, though still got some the lingo and random intricacies shoved in my head. So, a little dedication and i could probably survive a week in Mexico.

Tbf she doesn't need to look far, there is Calli as her (old) slang teacher lol

Yes.

when she was choking with water and couldn't stop laughing it was worrisome and hilarious at the same time.

Because Marine is awesome

Ya, that bot was on speed.

The problem is Received has this "cei" part being pronunciated with "si" like "six" sound, which doesn't exist in Japanese. Japanese people who are learning foreign language really struggle on word with "si" sound in it.

By the way Shabby, I don't know if you're in the habit of making compilations but a "Marine vs Machine Translator" compilation of just her trying to repeat after her translator would be sweet, she most likely will mess it up but damned if she doesn't have spirit
