Rosetta Stone Japanese - Colours

[Blueking09991]

Languages are better learned in a schooling environment like college. Because you can have a teacher who is most likely of the national origin and they can really teach you the language. Plus you'll be able to converse with follow classmates in group assignment to test your skills. Plus those teachers cans show you how to accurately write the language (in Japanese's case stroke order without simplifying it).

[roynsky]

@Blueking09991 I completely agree with you. I wrote in the description in my "review" video to not use Rosetta Stone as a primary recourses and I often tell many who email or message me on Youtube to get books, teachers etc to study and use Rosetta Stone as a back up to supplement your learning.

[BlueAnimator101]

actually red is 'Akai' :D or so i heard

[roynsky]

@BlueAnimator101 Technically you're right, but not grammatically. Unless you have "something" that you're calling red then it's Aka, but if you're saying it's a red flower,it would be akai hana.

[veryfreshsub]

Japanese? naaaaa learn arabic i'm learning arabic and i already know how to tell someone i have a bomb on my chest. it's badass

[rsmovies512]

my japanese coach does go into kanji and goes into sentence structure, conversations, etc. Rosseta stone is the last learning system I would use. The entire set costs more that 500 dollars. They're thousands of other japanese learning systems that don't make you hundreds of dollars poorer, especially in this bad economy.

[59918221]

isn't "sore" that and "kore" this? I'm pretty sure....

[MyNoteToSelf]

@59918221 Yeah it is, haha. And "are" is that (over there, away from us).

[cervesaychelas]

i just started learning japanese and did a good job pointing out things. thanks.

[truesunn]

When I was in school, I had a japanese classmate. I learned A LOT from her just from pointing out things and telling each other the words. Unfortunately after she moved back to Japan, I had noone to speak to and I forgot quite a bit. But if you can find a native speaker, I think that's the best.

[GoodOldAnime]

u have good pronunciation of the words..im working on that, lol XD 

[roynsky]

@GoodOldAnime Thank you. I got a lot better. If you need help on something learning wise I can recommend you quite a few books/software and sites that I use.

@roynsky

Does using Rosetta Stone REALLY help?! I want to go to Japan as a foreign exchange student 2 years from now (I'll be a sophmore, a.k.a. 11th grader) and I want to be able to at least mostly understand what people are saying and be able to reply back.

But Rosetta Stone is almost $600! I'll probably have to get a job (I can get a job at 14 'cause my mom is on Medical Disability) so I'm trying to be wise and do everything I can...

[roynsky]

@strawburrylilly It isn't the only thing you have to do to get fluent. First grab a chart and learn the Hiragana and Katakana (Known as the kana). Then try and find books, that you can read in Kana off Ebay or a local Japanese Town. Once you've got them down start with Kanji. Get Remembering the Kanji vol 1 by James Heisig and use kanji.koohii.com it'll help you learn kanji. Then use other books that have either full kanji or Furigana to learn sentence structure...Ill continue...

[roynsky]

@strawburrylilly So use a kanji/Furigana book to remember sentences along with verbs, nouns, particles, adverbs etc. Also Immerse yourself in a Japanese environment get Japanese TV from the internet, and use as many Japanese things you can: Music, TV shows, Video Games, Book etc.

Thats the way you can go if you don't want Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone just reinforces your Language learning, you don't need it.

[strawburrylilly]

@roynsky

About how long do you think it'll take if I do the things you mention...? I'm not too worried about being able to speak it fluently, I plan on going as a foreign exchange student and everyone says when you go there, being around Japanese parents and students helps you actually learn the language even more!

[roynsky]

@strawburrylilly Many take a long time becoming fluent. It all depends on how dedicated you are. I know someone became fluent in 18 months while other take 4-5 years.

[strawburrylilly]

@roynsky

Are you or do you plan on becoming a foreign exchange student?

[kyotohru97]

uuuh... im to young to use classes in washinton there only in the communitty college ^^ im 13

[FleeceLiner]

Does Rosetta Stone ever move onto actual characters, and not Romanji?

[roynsky]

@FleeceLiner Yes it does. Level 1 it teaches the Kana and Level 2/3 it teaches Kanji.

[evisuification]

what version is this V3?

[tabasom02]

nice harry potter painting in the background of your house.

[humbert0acevedo]

Man I hope I learn Japanese before i graduate, I want to show it off in school.

[zeejenkins]

I was born in Russia and lived there for 10 years, but now i live in USA and i speak almost perfect English without accent.

I still haven't figured out how i learned to speak English, but i hope this program will help me speak Japanese :D

[shecallsm3arekkusu]

try putting stress when u say watashi wa..itll sound betteer.. :)...

thanks 4 da vid btw.. :D

[IIRyux]

@shecallsm3arekkusu he's learning, shut up, he's not going to master it right away >.>!!!

duh!

stress blah blah blah!

[shecallsm3arekkusu]

man..im just trying to make some suggestions here uz i know how hard it is 2 learn japanese, ok???i am not acting as if i knew everything, am i??? so chill..

[HaLO3gamer91]

when you said the "kiiro" you have to let the "i" hold like dont say it fast. like "keeero"

[okamiakuma1028]

ur pronunciation sucks

[roynsky]

Okay you know what, I get it fromt he last 5 comments, Ill block comments if this continues, this isn't a video about my pronounciation it's about what Rosetta Stone is like.

[jigiba]

I'm sorta confused about rosetta stone...i heard there were "levels" and each one cost more, if i got the lowest level would I be able to fully speak japanese?

[bhfp28]

well on the rosetta stone website, so level 1 is basic skills, 2 is intermediate conversational skills, and 3 is advanced. i am getting 1 and 2; i don't need extremely in depth.

[roynsky]

If you can take classes + books then go with that, if you don't have any classes near you (1 hours away or closer) get Rosetta Stone, but also get a Japanese - English dictionary and a few books to help you study.

[roynsky]

No you will not be fluent in Japanese from level 1. If you don't have that much money to blow, go to classes. They are much more worth while. Also when your learning Kanji I highly recommend the book called Remembering the Kanji by James Heisig. Get it off amason it's almost 50% off there :P

[AnimeEric]

can anyone tell me if this really works or not since ive already ordered the entire packet?

[Honey1675]

that is so true about the ds game i had it for a couple of months now and it really helps too it even teachs you how to say things, and write them and the games help too

[Pondexter2323]

this vid was very informational

[DawnClover]

hum, isn't "akai" supposed to mean red and "aoi" blue instead of aka and ao? where's the "i"?

[DawnClover]

sorry i barged in with the comment before seeing the rest. although i never heard of them being used that way that's why it puzzled me. I'm thinkin of getting Rosetta Stone too :)

[roynsky]

Yeah no prob, Well it's fairly expensive and I recommend you take classes as well. Rosetta stone should be used to reinforce your studies.

[shecallsm3arekkusu]

i know right..im think of getting rosetta stone..bet itll definitely help me.. :)

[nforspeed91]

gohan= dbz lol

[Petrify666]

the torrent I found was the much older version.. this looks so much better

[roynsky]

Im pretty sure there are versions for Rosetta Stone, I think this is the latest one, 3.0.0.7 or something I don't know exactly.

Then again who cares how it looks :P

[ktostenson]

You sound like you've been taking classes outside of Rosetta Stone. Usually RS users don't have that thorough understanding of grammar lol.

[roynsky]

Ive been reading on things over the internet here and there, but yeah your right, my knowlee doesn't come from Rosetta Stone :)

[Spirisense]

just download it lol

[futurepilot764]

If you don't mind me asking... Could you please upload more videos, on the Rosetta Stone Product???!!! Please?! :-)

[roynsky]

Just did, check out Rosetta Stone Review

[futurepilot764]

I want/ NEED to get Rosetta Stone! But I'm 13 and don't haveany cash, And I'm too young to get a job so what should I do??!!! Someone please help me. I don't mean money wise though.

[roynsky]

If you want Rosetta Stone, then I guess wait for holidays or when you get money uch as your birthday...there isnt much you can do to make money without a job...also chores...do them around the house?

[futurepilot764]

WEll I thanks but I don't get money for the things I do around the house.... sadly. :-(

[Crazypreeteens]

I'm totally going to buy the Rosetta Stone! I totally want to learn the Japanese!

[roynsky]

Good luck it's expensive though, mine is Rosetta Stone leveks 1,2 and 3 with audio so it cost around 550 US dollars :O

[Crazypreeteens]

Holy SPIT!!

[roynsky]

Haha yeah I know

[Crazypreeteens]

Did you have to earn the money toget your Rosetta Stone?

[roynsky]

Eh, not really, It came out of my b-day cash.. :P

[Crazypreeteens]

Cool!

[emmybug123]

haha I like this phrase :]

I'm also debating on whether to get rosetta stone :/ I really want to learn japanese!

[soracosplayer89]

y i n o its beginner but it made it look a lot simpiler i think im buyin roseeta stone

[stert]

hey, if you come across any other good japanese programs you should make a video.

[roynsky]

Sure, Im in the process of making one. It's on a few Japanese DS games

[antking1117]

who u put your video at hte top right like that?

[roynsky]

My friend downloaded a program for me, and taught me how to do it :)

[antking1117]

send the liink please.

[antking1117]

send the link of hte program of tell me what it called, don';t be a hater mangee.

[roynsky]

Im not sure of the link but its called Sony vegas Pro 8.0

[AnimalGuy17]

does it teach like the japanese symbols?

[roynsky]

Yes, it does.

[silenthillmaster755]

no, Katakana is used for Foriegn words.Hiragana IS used for children but its also for things kanji doesnt cover.Educate yourself first, and I know its not working because your speaking it all wierd and monotoned.

[roynsky]

Geez, exactly what I just said, Katakana english/internet names etc, Hiragana for little children (OR WHEN NEEDED). I just said all that your repeating what I just said

[silenthillmaster755]

What are you talking about? My Japanese Coach, has 1,000 lessons, it DOES go into Kanji and it teaches near 10,000 words, you are probably on like, lesson 22. What is BASIC kana?(hiragana and katakana) There is no basic, its a set of characters/sounds. I dont think beginners are very informal.

[roynsky]

I know what they are but Katakana are used only with compagnie names and other internet/english words, Hiragana are used when needed (or for little children). My Japanes Coach doesn't all of the Kanji Ive read in on their site.

[KakkoiGranXiongmao]

I'm not sure but I think that katakana is also used to put emphasis on word.

[roynsky]

Haha I can't reply to that since I dont really know, but maybe it does, I might look into that :)
