I am Japanese, and names are the worst, nobody can read names, I am native Japanese speaker, I cant read names perfectly, so if you cant read names well. Not even native speakers understand names, and some people get angry about name stroke order if it’s obvious enough

Deserves more views❤

Bottom iceberg : every copy of kanji is personalized

17:52 腺 and 搾 exist in Chinese with similar meanings to what is showed here. 18:05 Idioms. If you speak Chinese, this is easily learned.

After rewatching this video for like 5+ times I noticed that at 10:45 you put reading/translation at the bottom instead of reading/other reading Anyway this doesn't take anything away from the video which is fantastic btw :)

This is a very informative and helpful video about Japanese texting in today's generation. Big help for m ╰(▔∀▔)╯

あやまひまやら

Me starting to learn katakana after hiragana. What is your purpose and why do we need you? Katakana: I honestly have no purpose they could have just used hiragana but now I exist. I solve none of the pronunciation problems or add any meaning I am just a reskin of hiragana. Oh and are you dyslexic? Screw you lets make your problem worse.

12:39 games like pokemon didnt use only hiragana because katakana were to difficult for kids btu because it saved storage space which was a big deal on older hardware, they added spaces because without kanji it became difficult to read

How do i buy you a coffee to help with your headaches

yknow,,, i think i might just stick to learning mandarin.

Middle chinese is closer to modern day cantonese than mandarin so many kanji have similar onyomi pronciations to cantonese including 山, 兔, etc

本当？∧( ‘Θ’ )∧ 嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘🤥😪😅

ummmm aktuawally.. onyomi is derived from middle chinese not mandarin chinese, which is literally like 2 generations years old. thats why older chinese languages like cantonese or hokkien seem to sound so much closer to japanese

There seems to be a worrying lack of Catan in this video.

Hilarious

It just hit me that you look like the academic version of Gigguk.

Ive watched a 22 minute ad and it felt like 22 seconds. This video is great. Keep it up. Also i just discovered Girls last tour yesterday and its amazing. I think im going to bingewatch all your videos now even tho its 6 am here and i havent slept at all. Here's to Book Off, cheers 🍻.

Let's ban kanji... ははははながすき。。。 (母は花が好き)

Coming to here from an interview with Japanese girls who said how much they hate kaomoji from guys …

I only know 森 is Mori because it’s on the front of my dobutsu no Mori (animal crossing) manga

I couldn't stop laughing while watching this video, nice job👍

definitely checking this out when i visit this year, awesome video

I know this video is a year old, but for those who aren't Japan like me. You can still get Japanese manga (in Japanese) from Book Off from the US online shop. Now it's not as cheap as getting it in Japan, but I've gotten complete series for about $4 per book which is a pretty good deal. The only downside is the selection isn't as extensive as a physical store.

Bro, the names thing is actually so true. I would be walking through the neighborhood with my mom and brother and look at the name placards and I could never guess the reading correctly.

ありがとうございます

I think you should make a video about Yahoo auction and proxy buying service for those outside Japan

0:24 instant like

19:38 horse cuz I learned somewhere in chinese atleast think that thing next to HA and DE and maybe two and hand but could be NI and MO

@end of video Bruh. Honestly, hiragana can completely get the job done on its own and it's really all that's needed.

no wonder japanese people are so talanted, imagine being a native speaker… you can go insane

Can you explain why the Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation use the same written language?

Dont do ridin on em bicycalis wit em ear pluggis in you earris For danger awates you in da road

BRAH BIANG IS CHINESE RACIST

You forgot about 大人 is it the first one just the お or the whole おと? More like they should have just squished them together and makE YET ANOTHER Kanji

It's easy to see that most of these problems are results of Japanese, an agglutinative language, force-adopting the writing system of an analytic language. And it doesn't help that they chose the most extreme example of analytic language, that is, Chinese. The good thing is that Jpanese are using katakana more and more to create new words, personally I think this gradual shift is good for its development as a language, and it'll surely make it less of a pain to learn Japanese in the future. 可以看出，这些问题大多都是因为作为粘着语的日语，强行化用了汉字这种孤立语的文字系统😂 可以说造就了一个非常怪异的语言体系

This is all great but I dont read in japan... Do they have english manga section?

my friend recently showed me a video a girl who turns out to be quite popular in my country. But anyways, the video was of her explaining how she's been watching anime for 10 years and has never left her hometown but can speak fluent Japanese due to anime; she also nailed the accent while talking and the background video was of her writing in Japanese. I guess that's pretty cool.

This is gold, thank you man!!

i honestly acomldated to the flick, i luv it

Bookoff is pretty nice.

Amazing, fun content and incredibly well structured videos! Really loving the channel, please do keep it up ๑(◕‿◕)๑ ! Hope your channel gets much more recognition (✯◡✯)

I just came back from Japan and now I’m kicking myself for not finding this video before. I’m going back in October. Thank you very much for this video!!!

Textbooks are great tools but college relying on them is a scam. Nobody talks like that! It is way too formal from genki to tobira and your brain becomes mashed potatoes when you hear real Japanese through native speakers or anime because your are sooo used to hearing “masu” and “desu” it’s nearly impossible to hear the verbs being spoken in such a casual manner because your brain was being forced to practicing masu and desu for 4 years in college study. This basically just sets your listening comprehension up for failure.

you have incredible editing! subbed!

Cute channel, subbed! 22:44 Class & generational differences, and being a brick wall to the foreigners? All those are amazing! This Phoenician Semitic alphabet invention is indeed a disgrace in more ways than one. - Adûnâi

80,000 Kanji? Bro I am PISSED! There should be WAY more than that! I feel like I've gotten ripped off! And then this Bunko yaps on about how "hard" it is. I will not rest until there are more Kanji on earth than breaths taken by the human species. I don't want virtually impossible I WANT ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE DAMNIT!
