How To Learn Japanese By Watching Anime🇯🇵
hi guys it's me today today we're going to talk about how to learn japanese effectively with anime so let's cut to the chase can you learn japanese with anime dancers definitely yes hi guys it's me today if you're new here i'm a native speaker when it comes to japanese and in my previous videos i got comments like why would i listen to somebody that is native in that language giving language tips and the thing is first thing first i can realize what foreigners usually make mistake when it comes to japanese and the second thing is i didn't grow up in japan therefore from my childhood we always needed to do some practices i can clearly say from my other mixed friends is that the ones that did their practices are clearly better than those kids that they didn't really practice japanese therefore even if you're partially japanese when you don't grow up in japan you need to make sure that you practice that language in order to come to a native level therefore today i'm gonna share some practices that i did when i was learning japanese and i'm sure that they're gonna help you so let's talk about how to learn japanese with anime so the step one when it comes to learning japanese with animes is that obviously picking something to watch the method that i'm gonna explain right now is the exact same thing that i did when i was learning english and the tricky thing is yes something that you enjoy is really important but if the intention of watching an anime is learning japanese then you probably should pick something that is related to daily life for example it can be an anime about school life or maybe like love but if you probably pick something like jojo which is my all-time favorite anime your japanese will probably sound a little bit weird i'm gonna explain why but you should pick something that is related to daily life at least i would recommend after picking something to watch the next thing that you should do is to watch the anime at least one to two hours every single day in normal speed with subtitles in your language not only reading the subtitles but also you're gonna try to understand and pick up some words in japanese in this way you can learn some like basic vocabularies and also how to build sentences and you will have like a general idea of japanese and the more you practice more you start to pick japanese vocabularies and understand the sentence structure and all of these things now you need to start learning hiragana katakana and maybe a little bit of kanji if your intention is to only understand and you know anime then you probably don't need to learn that much of kanji but i would highly highly recommend you to study a little bit of hiragana and katakana i have a video about how you can do it so you can watch it right here but you know learning hiragana and katakana is not that hard in total you will have like 100 um just like 100 alphabets kind of like thingies so it's not going to be hard but i would totally recommend you to learn hiragana and katakana for our further steps and while learning the hiragana and katakana please don't forget to watch animes at least one to two hours because it is really important to make japanese a part in your life now you're going to watch animes at normal speed but this time with japanese subtitles i know there are like some programs or maybe even like in netflix there are like subtitle options that you can watch japanese animes with japanese subtitles and hiragana and in katakana so like without any kanjis if it's not available in your like netflix you can download like some programs that allows you to do that so in this step you're gonna try to understand japanese anime with japanese subtitles at the beginning you might not understand anything any word and that's completely normal that was me back in the day when i was learning english but by the time you're gonna start to build your japanese brain and it is crucial to you know become fluent in japanese if you're translating every single word in your brain then probably you won't become that fluent in that language or you're like japanese will sound pretty weird therefore this step is crucial it sometimes can be intimidating when you cannot understand anything from anime but with the time and with the practice you will be able to understand it trust me it's gonna take a little time but with practice we can achieve everything so after getting comfortable with you know watching animes with hiragana and katakana subtitles you're gonna move to next step and in this step you need to watch animes at least at 1.25 to 1.5 xp so you're gonna speed up the anime a little bit but you're gonna still continue to watch the anime with japanese subtitles and in order to understand japanese native speakers some people speak really fast like me unfortunately therefore speeding up the process will also allow you to understand native speakers as well as your listening skills once you get used to this like fast japanese then the daily conversation is gonna be really easy for you and even the native speaker talks really fast since you are already like adapted to the 1.25 to 1.5 xp it's not gonna be like really hard for you to understand them when doing this method the important thing is after watching every single episode of anime please try to explain it to yourself in japanese in the beginning it can be like very very basic stuff since you don't really know the language but it is crucial for us to do some outputs when we're doing some inputs so let me explain why this method works when it comes to learning japanese anime japanese and real life japanese is something that is different from each other and i talked about this in my other videos but the thing is when it comes to the sentence structure and when it comes to the vocabularies it's basically the same so when you look into the grammar you can learn from animes yes some words are different and may be used in a different way but when you look in like a grammar way it's exact same and since anime is something that is made for japanese speakers it's not like made for foreigners it's basically made for japanese people to enjoy them therefore we native speakers watch them and enjoy them and understand them it's not that far away from daily japanese so you know watching anime for building a foundation in japanese is actually a great way to study japanese like everything in life we're going to implement the 80 20 rule 80 20 rule is basically says that 80 of the outcomes comes from the twenty percent of the incomes what does it mean so eighty percent of the results come from the twenty percent of that like core part that you should be focusing and when it comes to learning japanese that twenty percent the bulk is the basics once you learn the basics it's easy to actually improve in that language and you can do it with watching animes as i said anime japanese and daily japanese is different from each other that shouldn't be ignored i have like a co
