I don’t understand why people make videos discouraging people to do something they want. For anyone watching this, if you want to learn Japanese for WHATEVER reason then do it, don’t let this video discourage you.

Edit: seeing how many of y’all this comment has helped motivates me to keep going with my Japanese even more 🖤

The real downside of learning Japanese is being associated with neckbeards who view real life Japanese women as anime waifus

I’ve been learning Japanese for 2 years and don’t regret anything, although it is hard I love learning Japanese and I’m here to tell you that you can

[theevilmilkpudding]

Not everyone who learns Japanese wants an anime waifu. I love the culture and the language so that's why I learn it.

[thatonepersonwhoair-dropsy]

I’m learning Japanese for 3 reasons:
1- I think the language sounds nice
2- I like the country and have aspirations to go there later on
3- So I can sing along with the Yakuza OST

[kokogaijin]

I lived in Japan for 2 years and successfully survived without learning beyond basic courtesy. Sad but true.

I mean, he’s being honest, and that’s really the best thing he could have offered us.

This is the biggest lie when it comes to Japanese. I was able to learn enough Japanese to carry on a normal conversation in Japanese in about 4 months. People learn at their own rate. Meaning some catch on faster than others.

I've been self-learning Japanese since 2018 and am still somewhere between N5 and N4. I don't think there's any need for me to rush it, I've consistently learned it bit by bit everyday, and it's the happiest time for me, cuz I love Japanese! Go at your own pace while enjoying the process!

[TON._.N]

It's been 6 years, and I still can barely hold a normal conversation.

This made me respect my father more because he was so fluent at speaking Japanese back then when he's working at Japan, (he was a singer back then in the Japan) and when I was a kid, I usually hear my father speaking Japanese fluently, like damn.

[nicolasalexandrevanveen]

I heard japanese was the hardest language so I decided to learn it, plus a friend wanted to learn with me. She quit, I continued and after 3 years I can have conversations confortably and I have some friends from japan which is fun. I can also watch and read tons of content which is really useful.

I started learning Japanese cuz in HS we could choose our language. Been learning for the last 15 years. I can now listen to Japanese podcasts and understand about 90% keep practicing. I’m also currently learning Spanish too.

[Koknkk]

Every asian language is like that. Korean has like 7 levels of respect with different terminology

[ryokohonda]

Japanese are really happy when you learn their language. It doesn't need to be perfect.

[Yujiroh]

"No language should change drastically depending on the person you're talking with"
This is something I've heard from people who can barely speak English, let alone another language. Just sounds like they're mad they have to learn how other people in other cultures talk to each other. If this is your mindset, then yeah, don't learn Japanese or any other language, for that matter.

[chasingpirates]

My grandpa taught me only naughty phrases in Japanese lol

[notequalto]

I was speaking with my Japanese friend I visited in Tokyo. We were at a little yakitori place talking about fluency in each other's languages. We came to the realization that no matter how much we practiced, neither of us could ever be truly as fluent as the other without spending ample amounts of time in each other's cultures. We could always improve, but there would always be a gap.

We also realized what really mattered then. Even if we both couldn't speak the same language fluently, we were friends, enjoying our time and camaraderie. We were connected in an unlikely way, 2 souls with 2 different lives and cultures. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever experienced.
