I clicked for help. Instead I got a weibo flex on fluency. Disliked and blocked.

I've heard so many stories of my senior's working overbroad, the number one problem with the people that work overbroad is not to speak Japanese properly those producing miscommunication and some unprofessional work ethics and some even got harassed by their own boss That's why i want to improve my Japanese to "minimize" those incident that might occur in my future working overbroad

don't suggest people where to invest their time because I ate not the owner of time. B

Could you explain how to say: what do you call that in Japanese? I know how to say, what is that, but I feel it makes it seem like I don’t know the purpose of the thing. Thanks!

I literally thought this same thing when I was an exchange student.

wtf dude you just wasted my life

What the hell is this weird form content

nice. interesting japanese. thanks dogen. i don't fully know what image means in japanese yet.

「日本人は謙虚」1行矛盾すき

承る

i discovered Dogen's yt channel & Chris Broad's book completely separately. Then I find out you've collaborated! Very cool!

As for watching anime without subs, you don't need to know all that much to be able to enjoy it. This is because about 80% of communication (some claim as high as 90%!) is non-verbal. That means even with a basic understanding of Japanese (as little as around N4 level), you can more or less follow along by taking contextual clues, watching the body language, the tone of voice, facial expressions, and by inferring based on the sequence of events and past events. Of course, some anime is easier to understand than others, depending on the target demographic. This is great if you just want to enjoy anime, since you don't need to be fluent or near fluent. On the other hand, this also means anime is a poor way of measuring how well you actually understand Japanese.

You don't need to know kanji if all you're going to do is watch TV shows, listen to podcast and even communicate with others verbally. Being able to read Japanese helps with immersion though, since you are able to read and understand things such as news articles, blog posts and SNS messages that appear in anime from time to time. Sometimes, you need to know basic Japanese to understand what the characters are saying, particularly when they speak in a foreign language. One example is in World Dai Star, when Kathrina talks with her mother in (broken/old) German. I also find knowing Japanese helpful when characters speak in English (it's easier to read and understand the Japanese subtitles than the spoken anime English sometimes, as odd as this may sound!).

Man, Thomas was having NON of it at 1:53 hahhahahahah, expression says clearly he's fed up with this lol Great acting Dogen, I really love the details in where the eye level would be, and the angle of the student. Thanks for the laugh!

Makers: We release this new product for 100 USD I: Ok so it's about 12,000 JPY? JP gov: No, now 1 USD is 160 JPY I: 16,000 JPY? Damn JP agents: You JP bros have to buy from us. It's 20,000 JPY I: Wanna destroy f*cking whole world

Dad, why are there so many gaijins on the street? Because these gaijins are weebs, my son.

Fuck. Im number 2. also: "サイゼリヤ行こうぜ" made me snort.

🤣🤣🤣

@Dogen the one about Japanese being a SOV language has me scratching my head. You said and put "My said teacher" in the subtitles but the object is the teacher and the verb is said. So if we are going by SOV then it should be "My teacher said" right? Is it funny because the sentence sounds awkward or that its wrong? I am confused, Please explain. Love your channel

Also, these timing talks are really interesting for people in the vocal synth space who often don’t have much japanese and are trying to arrange japanese melodies with lyrics into a MIDI, i haven’t really been able to explain why double vowels (like in mouten) and ‘n’ will throw a wrench in the gears, so thanks for this

I NEED one of these videos about the second verse because it works so god damned well and I think you’d have a lot to talk about LMAO

I feel teacher isn't having headache because of lack of respect, but because he can see all the hassles he has to deal with in the future. Like, idk if Derek will listen to the teacher at all or care much about the fundamentals of the language.

とても良い授業ですね　この曲は日本人でも難易度高めですが、僕もこの動画で英語の勉強をしようと思います

Frankly I have thought the exact same thing, and have pointed it out to Japanese people close to me. (I wouldn’t consider pointing it out as overestimating my abilities though.)

まずKZfaqr本人がやるでしょ、次に両親呼び寄せてやるでしょ、そして兄弟姉妹でもやるでしょ、親友もやってきてやるでしょ、さらにはチャンネルのファンと称する人に（旅行費出して）来てもらってやるでしょ…私がどんどん嫌いになるのと比例してどんどん視聴回数が増えていく。そしてそれを日本人でなくて外国人からおちょくられる悲しさよ（責めてませんよ。ありがたいと思ってます）。もうなんだか全方向からおちょくられてる気がして人間不信が加速してます（苦笑）。

That hiragana joke was funny xDD

I remember when I studied ancient Japanese in college. (Japanese people usually do not study modern Japanese vocabulary and pronunciation specifically). This video is very helpful for many people to deepen their understanding of the Japanese language. And he talks a lot of fascinating things about the Japanese language. I am very happy. Thank you very much!🫶

警報 隔離する. Vertically, I think.

Can you explain this to me because I have a fear that, for example, if I learn words in context by using them in sentences with Anki, I will just memorize them in this context, and if I encounter that word in a different context in a book, I won't understand what it means or can this not happen?

And then he’ll complain about how there’s only mostly one type of nut in the bag 😂

like the moment i heard someone describe another person as "high tension" ... that painted a different picture in my mind lol
