Wow this video really felt like I was watching a teacher having a existential crisis, (like always). Good job

My basic experience trying to learn Japanese:
Starting off: So the syllabary only has one way to pronounce each character and anything written in katakana is more than likely an English word I already know. This is surprisingly easy and, in some ways, makes more sense than English.
Later on: Kanji is a crime against the very concepts of communication, writing and comprehension.

This discouraged me to learn japanese, and then encouraged me again.

I've decided to learn Japanese cause I hear it is the dark souls of language.

As a non-native english speaker, this is great. It's the first time i've seen someone explain the beauty and logistics of learning a language so well. The truth is that learning about a different culture can really change your life in many wonderful ways.

I tried to take Japanese in college because I thought it would be fun and I was okay with it until three weeks into the class. My teacher told the class that we should be dreaming in Japanese at that point or we would definitely fail the class (completely serious) which freaked me out so I quit.

Losers - translates Japanese to English in their minds
Me the intellectual - translates Japanese into Spanish and then into English.

It’s funny you say that most people are interested in Japanese because they have an interest in Japan, but it was the opposite for me. I got into Japanese because I fell in love with the kanji writing system. I found it so fascinating how different it was to any of the writing systems I’ve seen, with a mix of kana and kanji, sometimes variably. I later found an interest I Japanese culture after I started learning it because they both go hand in hand.

I've given up 5 languages because i was frustrated with hitting a language block in all of them. This makes me feel better and that i should pick them all up again and nuture a basic tourist-level ubderstanding of each again

I've been at it for 3 years now. I'm nowhere near proficient but I'm slowly getting somewhere. Bit by bit.

A motivational video huh! I never felt so motivated, I will never forget these three when studying Japanese, difficult, long-term and not worth it. Thanks for the motivation!

Teacher: Who knows any simple japanese?
Jojo fans: This is my moment.

Everyone: “Japanese is so hard.”
Me: **laughs in traditional Chinese**

My father once told me that he went to Japanese class, and it was Japanese 01. so he thought that it would be good and easy at first, but apparently everyone else in the class already knew Japanese, and the teacher was like oh, well ok! everybody skip to chapter 26. and my dad dropped out of Japanese class
