Hello.
2
Today, I'm going to talk about how to speak Japanese.
3
In English, I was really focused on the hard work and all the time.
4
But, I don't think I was going to be able to learn Japanese.
5
So the amount of time I've spent on textbook studying Japanese was a total of one semester back in high school.
6
and then I did go to Japan and stay there for three months after graduating uni.
7
But other than that, no textbook, no studying, just drama, anime, and talking to people, talking to Japanese people here and there,
8
and I think that worked for me.
9
And so today I want to talk about how I learned Japanese
10
and managed to not forget over these years and how you can too.
11
I can't see you in the middle of my life I'm always beside you
12
I'm seeing you with your dreams I can't see you in the middle of my life
13
Recently I went to Fukuoka and it just brought back a lot of good memories of when I was living in Japan.
14
And I thought it would be a good time to talk about
15
that memory and how I got to learn to speak the language.
16
For the longest time when people ask me why I'm so good at languages, I would just say because I'm smart.
17
And it wasn't until I stumbled upon this book called Fluent Forever by Gabriel Weiner.
18
After I read the book, I realized that what I've been doing was actually the right way to learn the language.
19
The book basically breaks down how your brain remembers things
20
and how to use that to actually keep a language alive in your head.
21
Today I want to share some of the principles from the book Fluent Forever
22
while walking you through my own Japanese learning journey.
23
so for this section of the video i want i'm going
24
to walk you through the principles that's mentioned in the book there are eight principles
25
and i'll walk you through them one by one
26
number one is prioritize pronunciation early do you ever felt like
27
all the words just sound the same to you like someone say this word to you
28
and you repeat it exactly the way they did
29
and they go um please try that's because as adults we experience phonic deafness
30
so what does that mean
31
that means our ears actually get used to the sounds of our own languages
32
so we stop noticing ones that don't really exist
33
if you don't train those sounds early on your brain can actually get stuck it's really hard to fix later
34
so it's kind of like how a lot of japanese people it's really hard for them to pronounce the letter R, right?
35
And I think for French -speaking people, there's this vowel that's pronounced as U, U, which exists in Chinese,
36
but for a lot of English speakers, it's very, very, very difficult for them to even hear it.
37
Do you hear it?
38
Comment on me, let me know if you do.
39
U, U.
40
Anyways, by practicing similar sounding words and paying attention to the pitch, the rise, and the fall of the tones, you can actually train your ears to catch the differences and understand people better,
41
as well as speaking more clearly.
42
So for example, chopsticks versus bridge.
43
Can you hear the difference?
44
So yeah, what you can do is keep on practicing these similar sounding words.
45
So the more you do that, you'll sound more natural, understand subtle differences, and you'll less likely have to fix that deeply ingrained pronunciation mistakes later,
46
which can be very, very difficult.
47
I think for me, whenever I start learning a language, it usually start.
48
but just me watching stuff in that language i like the way it sounds
49
so if i'm watching anime or drama i'll repeat after the characters yeah i don't know
50
if you guys do
51
that is it is it is it a weird thing to do i don't even know i do it secretly
52
so i would love to know if anyone else also do
53
that number two learn vocabulary with images not translations have you ever seen a a new word
54
and caught yourself thinking okay so that means this in english you know
55
that little extra steps slows you down
56
and in real conversation it slows you down even more the trick is to connect words straight to pictures
57
and feelings without english in the middle so for example
58
if you see a dog train your brain to think oh
59
that's an inu instantly the more you do this the faster your brain switches into japanese world by doing
60
that you would you would think more directly in japanese
61
no more sea dog think oh that's a dog in english and then translate to oh in japanese that's it
62
so yeah try doing that it will make your thinking process
63
and the whole speaking process a lot faster too number three leverage space repetition do you have any experience where
64
when you study for a test
65
and you remember exactly everything for it you null it on that day
66
and then a week later you absolutely forget everything that's how
67
languages slip away too unless you review it at the right times
68
so there's a concept called the forgetting curves which shows
69
that new info actually decays really fast like a steep slide but
70
if you review it the information right before you're about to
71
forget it the curves actually gets flatter each time you review it pushing them into long -term memory.
72
So in other words, with review, you remember it longer and longer until it sticks with you.
73
That way, instead of cramming and forgetting, you keep words for the long run.
74
I think how it works for me is that when I learn a new word, because how much anime or Japanese drama they consume,
75
before I forget it, usually this word will reappear somewhere.
76
So I that repetition of reminding me of the word has really helped me to keep this memory in my head.
77
So yeah, if you really don't have time to go through your flashcards or your vocab list, the least you can do,
78
which is still very fun and effective, is to just watch something in Japanese.
79
And if you watch it enough, those words will eventually stick with you.
80
Number four, break down grammar into patterns you can use.
81
If you think about how kids learn, they don't learn from grammar books.
82
They learn from hearing the patterns again and again, until they just sound right.
83
If you think about your own native language, you would realize that you can't really explain why this sentence works, why this grammar is right, it just sounds right to you.
84
And that's how you should learn other languages too, in fact.
85
brain learns language in chunks so grammar is absorbed from real examples
86
and memorizing rule isn't as intuitive but seeing them in context do make them stick so one example would be
87
like um i like something and just stop start plugging that in real words like Like,
88
dog, movie, Japanese, 私は犬が好きです。私は映画が好きです。私は日本語が好きです。 Just keep doing that.
89
The more you say it, the more it sounds right to you.
90
And over time, your brains collect patterns naturally, and grammar just feels automatic instead, but forced.
91
For me, whenever I'm speaking a language, I think there's no time to pause and structure the perfect sentence into your head.
92
You just have to let it come out naturally.
93
So for me, it's all about repeating things enough time until they sound right.
94
The more I speak, the more it sticks, and the more confident I feel, and it turns into a positive loop.
95
You know, all these principles I just talked about, pronunciation, images, space repetitions, they only really work if you actually find ways to incorporate that into your daily life.
96
And that's where tools like Lingopi can be really helpful.
97
It's a language learning platform that lets you pick up new languages by watching your favorite shows or movies.
98
I watched Delicious and Dungeon earlier recently.
99
There's this cute anime about a group of adventurers
100
that goes into the dungeon to rescue their friend but
101
because they didn't have enough money
102
or time to eat food they have to be more resourceful
103
and do whatever they can find in a dungeon is this slice -up like type of anime
104
that just feels really nice to watch at the end of
105
the day you know i wish i knew about this school earlier when i started learning japanese
106
so basically every video has interactive subtitles and if you see
107
or hear a word or grammar you don't know you can click it see the meaning
108
and you can save it to review it for later it's amazing
109
because I get to enjoy content and turn that downtime into a study session without even feeling studying.
110
That means instead of just passively consuming, we're also actively building vocabularies and grammars at the same time.
111
Isn't it just nice?
112
If you want to give it a try, I'll put a link in the description and with that link you can start trying it out for free.
113
Number five, personalize everything.
114
As a hero, you won't remember this is a pen
115
but you will remember I love ramen or I watch youtube every day.
116
Why?
117
Because it's about you.
118
Our brains are wired to care more about things that feel personal.
119
It's called the cell referential and encoding effect memories are strengthened
120
when it's tied to your personal life
121
so instead of memorying random textbook phrases make everything about your
122
own life the language suddenly becomes something you can use right away not just something
123
that you study make everything about yourself so much
124
that japanese become your language not just abstract phrases not just things
125
that you study on the textbook but real expressions of your daily life
126
and this makes it stick faster
127
and feel more meaningful number six six thing in the target language
128
if you always translate in your head you'll feel slow and clumsy
129
and sometimes the concept of the word may not even exist in the other language system fluency starts
130
when you think directly in that language connect concepts straight to the words
131
and over time it forges stronger neural pathways
132
that means generally about your day talking to yourself
133
and describing things you see in japanese even
134
if it's really basic you're not just just make japanese part of your life like
135
when you get hungry you can just say you know you
136
can just start thinking in japanese start rewiring your brain to think in
137
that language and the more you do that the more you stop mentally translating
138
and start experiencing the world through japanese and your thoughts will flow naturally without english interfering
139
i think this one is super big for me
140
because this is something that i realized about language is that
141
and i find it very interesting also
142
that there are a lot of expressions just simply don't exist in another language for example
143
when i try to translate chinese into english a lot of times i realized
144
that there isn't an equivalent and it reminds me
145
that language is just a vehicle for concepts and ideas
146
and way of expressions or communications and
147
because every culture has its own unique value system
148
and way of communicating the things the way things get expressed
149
and translated can be completely different so definitely try thinking in in
150
that language it can be challenging but also very very rewarding
151
and yeah it just feels like a very fun brain exercise
152
number seven seven seven here's all four skills all together the
153
lots of learners end up loop -sided they can read
154
but cannot speak they can listen but freeze up
155
when they start talking and so the solution best suggested by the author is
156
that just mix them listen to podcasts read mangas, shadow sentences out loud, and write diaries.
157
When you train all four skills together, listening, speaking, reading, writing, they feed into each other and your progress feel a lot more balanced.
158
I had that problem as well.
159
I think speaking was very difficult for me, but what really helped me start speaking though was
160
when I went to Japan for three months after i graduated
161
for a working holiday almost every day i would go help out the granny
162
that cooked lunch for us talk to her with my very
163
limited japanese um couple with some very limited sign languages at first i just i just wanted to help out
164
because she seemed like a old granny
165
and i felt bad for letting her cook lunch for everyone
166
but i ended up learning so much from her
167
and also got fit very very very well and put on
168
so much weight i think i that was
169
that was honestly the saddest i've ever been in my entire life number eight focus on frequency
170
and relevance here's the secret not all words are worth your
171
time usually a tiny group of common words will show up almost in almost every conversation
172
while rare words barely even appear so basically a small number of words make up most real conversations.
173
That means high -frequency vocabularies give you the best fluency payoff.
174
Seeing words in repeated everyday contexts strengthen your memory much more than studying real ones.
175
So instead of wasting energy on like squeak and pasta or parliament,
176
start with everyday essentials like station, ticket, toilet, delicious.
177
By focusing on words you will actually hear and use, you will understand 80 % of daily conversation way faster and feel much more fluent long before you know it all.
178
So yeah, some of the suggestions that was given in the book is just start with the top 2 ,000 words roughly.
179
So that would be relevant, equivalent to Japanese and 5 and 4 list.
180
And just focus on the word
181
that you know you probably use in real life station ticket toilet i really love this one
182
because the more you speak the more you realize
183
that with just a handful of useful words you can basically
184
say anything you want i'm not kidding um you might not sound super sophisticated
185
but people will understand you and that's what really matters right
186
but honestly it there there's also a caveat that's also why
187
my skills sometimes plateau i catch myself reusing the same word over
188
and over again it's both good and bad
189
but the truth is you don't need a massive vocabulary to start don't overwhelm yourself just start talking
190
which leads me to my final point that the thing
191
that helped me the most even english
192
which is in my first language is to be creative stop
193
translating don't waste time searching for perfect word just use simple words
194
that you already know find another way to say the same thing for example
195
if you don't know how to say is this seat taken you could also try is anyone sitting here
196
or can i sit here or even just point
197
and ask can i may i there are always multiple ways to get your message across
198
and that's what i meant by being creative and fluency comes from
199
that flow not from fancy vocabulary but from practice from
200
that small confidence that you build
201
which is what keeps you going actually most people quit
202
because learning a language just feels so overwhelming and defeating
203
but it's really not start small be creative
204
and you'll discover just how fun it is to actually use the language after all language learning goes beyond memorization
205
and study routines it's about discovering the many deeper things a
206
language has to offer what pulls me in isn't only the sound
207
or the ability to speak the language it's the people the culture the entire world behind.
208
When you learn a new language, it feels like a new window opens inside you.
209
Ideas, values, feelings flow in.
210
Your inner world gets bigger.
211
You see more, you feel more.
212
Take the word komorebi for example.
213
It means sound like filtering through leaves.
214
In my first language, I didn't have a clear word for that.
215
But once I learned it, And I start noticing it everywhere.
216
And it's not just poetic words like this, it's also in the everyday rhythm of Japanese life and the o -motenashi,
217
the care in Japanese service, and shokunin -no -kokoro, the pride in doing even the smallest things well.
218
And that welcome when you come into a store, irashai -masai, and at the end with the big smile and about arigatouzaimashita.
219
It's all of those things that tells you about something without ever actually telling you.
220
Language is a vehicle of what the society is carrying, the ideas and the value and the mind.
221
And at the end of the day, how fluent you are isn't just about how fast you can talk or how many vocabularies you know.
222
It's also about letting Having the language lived where you live, in your walks, in your talks, in your quiet thoughts.
223
Language isn't just something you study, it's perspective, something that lives inside your everyday life.
224
I don't have to worry about words, but I don't have to worry about words.
225
I don't have to worry about words.
226
The important thing is to take care of each other.
227
I'll take it to the end of the day, and I'll take it to the end of the day.

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
