"It's really exciting to hear words I learned" is so real as a language learner. This is one of the factors that motivates me to study more Japanese so that I can understand more Japanese sentences when watching dramas or anime even without subtitles.

[Berisha]

TAKASHii managed to get connections with all of these Japanese teachers and online content creators including Sayaka. They are collaborating. That’s neat.

I'm a simple man. I see Sayaka on the thumbnail, I click

Anyone reading this that's learning Japanese and is around an N5 to N4 level: Watching Terrace House is one of the best things you can do to level up your ability to understand and speak ACTUAL conversational Japanese. Watch a season once with English subtitles, then go back and watch it again with Japanese subtitles. Terrace House was the show that propelled me from N5/4 into the N3 zone.

Taking the N2 this summer in Fukuoka. 💪 Good luck to the other test takers.

When she talked about Spanish & Japanese similarities in pronunciation, I absolutely agree. As a Spanish speaker, I was so surprised at how much of both languages sound similar when speaking!

[Signulll]

The different perspectives of everyone was really interesting:
Anannya had the anime-fan/solo learner perspective.
Sayaka's answers were really focused on the linguistic part of language learning and pronunciation as well as how the language actually sounds when spoken conversationally.
Kozy really focused on the sentence structure and used good grammatical examples.
and Risako had the experience of knowing a roman derived language to compare it directly to japanese.

So cool!

In another of Takashii's interviews, the guy he was interviewing said we live in a golden age of language learning: with the technology available to us today, there's never been a more ideal time in human history to learn another language. That has stuck with me ever since. I feel so lucky being able to hear from all these language teachers any time of the day or night.

Takashi-kun always knows how to pick his guests.

Shout out to Sayaka-sensei, miti kurete arigato!

[ArturoGarzaID]

Risako is a genius. She has to be, she can express her thoughts clearly and in depth in all 3 of the languages she speaks.

"We (Japanese) live in a bubble without knowing we are."
This is so true. So many Japanese are not aware of that.

[ayushpatil]

Dude that Indian girl definitely speaks all three languages 🙌

[gadeyeye]

Your English has improved a lot brother. Thanks for these suggestions

[idleeidolon]

this video is proof that japanese shouldn't be shy about their "japanese accent". trying to sound "like a native" and that kind of perfectionism is foolish. instead the goal should be closer to "being understandable." even native english speakers have so many accents. your accent is part of your culture. be proud! :D

So great to see Sayaka! I've been watching her videos since a long time ago and is both fun and didactic! 😊😊

[mailejohn]

I love your channel so much. It’s always insightful and your interviews have lots of meaning. I’m currently learning Japanese and I feel fortunate because I have several Japanese coworkers that have been so helpful in my learning. Immersion has been key to my learning.
