I love how you don't make your voice many pitches higher when you speak Japanese. Of course it is a little higher, but many girls who start learning Japanese that aren't native speakers take on this really terrible voice. x_x
once i graduate from the two year college i attend now, i plan to go to union college that has the east asian studies that i want to major in(New York).
Your Japanese is very flowing; I probably told you that before, but i really need to get my speaking up to your level. I would do youtube videos to practice if I didn't hate the sound of my recorded voice. Although your series focuses on teaching English speakers the difficulties of Japanese, It would be cool too if you had a fully japanese series as well (maybe the difficulties of listening to japanese? i dunno).
hahah, yup! :) i'm glad they help! (that's why i try to put the dual subtitles, so people can hear ANd see what i'm saying in case they want to look it up)
cute video! I subbed to your channel. I love learning Japanese.. I'm sad though, because the college I'm going to attend only offers spanish.. I've sort of just been doing research on my own to learn Japanese:)
audio lessions, dictionaries and online sources.. but classes would be so much fun!
haha, 6 years worth of "a class" :) but thank you! I have a long way to go, but its encouraging to hear that i'm doing ok so far! :) good luck to you, too!
haha I LOVE the album! :) I listen to it 24/7. Steam Ingenious is my personal fav' but Dashboard is awesome! wow, good luck with the studies! As always, I'll continue to cheer!
hahah I was just in the main burrows on New York (brooklyn, manhattan, the bronx, etc.) hanging out with friends :). But seeing as to how I'm not a native New Yorker it was 'travel' for me :)
lol it's ok... I'm just a bit envious.. How can I get better.. i don't take classes anymore.. maybe I should read the rest of the text book.. I don't feel that a language is learned in a class room.. The entire Japanese people is proof of that.. There needs to be more.. I know people who have taken 4 years of Japanese.. yet still can't talk to me.. thats bad right..
lol no believe me I get jealous of everyone for something but yeah. there tend to be a couple key phrases that I really like when I hear them from my friends mom, etc and i use them again and again until they stick. But no, you're japanese is great! Maybe the best thing for us is to just go there for a while and drench ourselves in it. haha.
kuyashii!! :.( I think you have have been switiching back and forth for formal to informal though... maybe it was just the questions.. So how did you learn Japanese? you actually have a few year on me.. and kanji.. I dunno that much.. I've done all Japanese video.. demo jishin ga nai ka na...
haha, definately. My classmates/teachers always found it amusing that the longer I talked, or more frustrated I'd get I'd start leaving off more 'desu' etc., and would just slide into casual speech. Yeah, the questions were scripted closely to how they were originally mailed to me so that's why they're formal. My answers were just me babbling lol :) thanks for watching! お互いに頑張ろう!
whoa, sorry! I meant to click "reply" on your lastest comment but i clicked "remove" instead. Um... I don't remember it all but only the questions were scripted. I kinda drafted what points to address when I answered the more substantial questions but everything else I remembered from class d_d; sorry for the delete, again!
hahaa, yay! That's really good! I'm glad it was fun for you! I hope the dual subtitles were helpful too! Its nice to be able to read the words you can't exactly hear, ne?
Wow I am glad oyu make videos. I can relate to most of the problems I am starting to have. But living in oklahoma is worse. especially when other black people find out I study japanese, and that I am going to japan in a few months. They always ask if I am in the military and then they are shocked when I say no, and explain to them I am going to college in japan. Anyway keep making the vids! Glad to see you are back on youtube :D
Wow, oklahoma!? that's out there. Do they have japanese in schools or do you self-study? In anycase, I can definately understand how that would seem weird to other people ;) i get that all the time. Good luck though, and have a good time in Japan!
Yea at hte university I am currently at there ar ejapanese students, but they're usually exchange students there are only 10 of them that are enrolled, but I just got really active in the japanese student assoc. and became an officer, and was taught by a friend who just graduated, and is working in Tokyo. But at UCO in edmound the japanese population is much large. I think around 2,000 because it gets advertised in japan more so than OU. But OU does offer classes and you can minor in the langaug
you can minor in the language. I actually had a harder time studying Turkish even though I took it in highschool. But because I showed my interest in Turkish culture I am well connected into the Turkish community here in OKC, Dallas, and Houston, and I have lived there before. So I know the difficulties of learning a new language. I spent some time studying Spanish, and so now I want to focus on japanese. So I will be going to APU in Japan soon :)
It has been a long time since your last video. In fact I've not made one for long time as well. I've actually done a 5 random facts vid already when the whole tagging thing was crazy big on Youtube.
But I'm not inspired to make a vlog and hopefully soon after that I hope to do another karaoke type one.
haha, yeah! I pretty much practice on my own now...haven't had a partner for 2 months at least. Haven't really studied for that long either. Ohhh, summer break! :) thanks for watching!

Stop defending yourself !
Just stay true to yourself and god will
take care of the rest. Talk more about
the culture and educate those that don't
know certain things. I kind of love the culture
to particularly the folklore and mythology I guess thats why I am a manga artist.
