It seems when people say "learn Japanese in 2 months" they mean "learn Japanese for 2 months".

100% agree with self-learning! I use a spreadsheet and track how much time I spend on listening, vocabulary, grammar etc so I quickly identify which things need more volume. I am learning Japanese too, let's do our best :)

I think this is the first video I watched that didn’t encourage taking classes. I felt relieved a little because I took some online Japanese classes and I was so bored. It also didn’t help that I was busy and didn’t have energy when I came to class. I think classes work for some people but not all. Especially if it was at a bad time and you’re in the wrong headspace. Anyway, I really appreciate this video! Keep up the good work Yuki-san!!

Yes being bored is definitely one aspect of it! It's infinitely better to find a method, time and place that suit you. Thank you for watching and leaving a nice comment :D

I agree with you that self-learning a new language allows you 100% self-control and 100% responsibility. With that being said, Immersive Translate is a great way you can self-learn a new language. I personally use it to translate everything from webpages to documents, and even use it to watch my shows and movies on Netflix every day, which has been really helpful in my language learning journey so far.

Hello, Yuki! I can tell you are a very organized person :) I would to like to share one of the most important reasons to learn a new language and it is that you can communicate with other people! I can speak english (as a second laguange) and of course, I still make mistakes, I've been able to get a better job, get access to information that it's only in English and also get to know new people. While English is a worldwile language, learning a different one such as French, Chinesse, etc. opens a door to a different culture and for me, that's something priceless. Thanks to that, I am here, watching your video and being able to share a "little" message with you haha. I hope you enjoy your Spanish learning journey! Saludos desde México.

Thanks for sharing this :) English is also my second language. I'd really like to learn another language to the same proficiency so that I can make and enjoy content in that language!

I honestly don't find learning a new language to be that super exciting unless I have a reason to learn it. What's the a point of learning a foreign language that you probably won't even use for communication purposes. I mean I get it, it may seem cool at first to show off your language skills in front of people, but it's hard to keep track in the long run especially if you're not daily practicing or acquiring new vocabulary. I'd say learning at least a second language is essential and english being a first priority. PS It just also happens that I can speak four languages as part of what I do.

Hmm. Tend to disagree with your point on language classes. Were you taking classes in country from which you were trying to acquire their language? Immersion is everything.
@giovannastenzel7105
@giovannastenzel7105 19 күн бұрын
Absolutely not... immersion has a way to happen, it depends on your level on the language, and what level you are being exposed to when trying talking to a native speaker. If a person moves to another country that they have any knowledge of the language, they are not getting fluent at all if they don't make an effort to learn it. It's the same thing if you recommend to someone to watch something in their target language without any goal. They are not getting better at all at learning that said language.

No immersion for me for French and Spanish, just plain old classes at language schools.

@@YukiChiu852 in which case, i think its definitely harder. Its quite demoralising not seeing progress. For me, Ive learned languages by jumping in the proverbial deepend. I tend to learn quicker as a fight or flight reaction. I guess its not for everyone but it works for me
