Hello, I’m an Irish-Nigerian-American language learning Youtuber hailing from New York!
I currently speak seven languages. Six of which I taught myself from scratch. By 2023, I aim to learn another five. The languages I currently speak are English, Japanese, Russian, Dutch, French, Chinese and Spanish.

Hope you like the video! Anime and Manga are such powerful tools. They've changed the way I've learned languages in so many ways!

[QuackAttack]

The irony is I started learning Russian after hearing it in anime and only now eight or so years later, I'm beginning to learn Japanese

[TheLunarLexicon]

This is fact because this is exactly how I learned English, literally binge read webtoon and anime

[jojothermidor]

Language Reactor is phenomenal. I just wish there was a dedicated website for spanish anime, that had subtitles at least.

Hi Ikenna! Hope u r getting better and better every day! 😁✌️🇦🇷

Man, all of my broken Japanese are from anime. I can understand and speak some very basic level Japanese, but not read. I'm still memorizing all the Katakana and Hiragana atm. And yes, watching anime can help you learn Japanese but if you wanna be proficient in it, also try to watch it without subtitles sometimes it can help you understand the languages better. All of this is from my personal experience watching anime and SOMEHOW can speak and understand very basic level Japanese. Kanji is outta question atm

The langauge videos you make are always really inspiring, and it really feels like you understand what it's like to learn a lamguage.

I think anime is also really good because when you dub it in any language it still works because the mouths talking are only animated opening and closing, so if you don’t look too close it looks like they’re actually speaking the language of the dub. I get really bothered watching live action shows when the lips moving don’t line up with the audio, so anime is a life saver :)

I actually used conprehensible input to learn english from the start i knew a bit of english but watching reddit videos made my vocabulary wayyy bigger and started to use english more than spanish since you can express yourself more

[ShivyEnby]

There's an Anki add-on called Jlab that has a premade deck with thousands of anime examples, and the add-on itself let's you import full decks from thousands of other series. Definitely helps you get to the B1+ stage easier.

I like how people critize this like:" Noooo learning Japanese by watching anime is weeaboo!" Sure the way people act in anime might not reflect reality, but language is language. My big anime period was from the age of 14 to the age of 19 and even today I can very loosely figure out what a Japanese person is saying. Never studied Japanese.

[amikaa]

You're my inspiration🥰, I'm still learning Japanese, and I was hoping to learn other languages too. Good luck to you and me.

[edicksonhernandez]

Really glad to have you back man. Looking forward to your app. You've been releasing more and more videos and you've got me motivated to learn again. I really appreciate the content you put out. It's always relevant to me and always interesting. I hope you continue to get better. Tus vídeos siempre me motivan!

When I saw ''Omnisicient Reader's Viewpoint'' in the Manhwa, and ''Dumb Husky and His White Cat Shizun'' in Manhua categories, I literally screamed. Oh gosh I'm such a weeb.

[aLe-befq]

I improved my listening a lot by watching lots of animes without subtitles (English in this case)

[skyler]

You’re such an inspiration dude, keep doing what you do! You’re awesome!

[alexandarsekulic]

I just started learning german by watching one of my favorite childhood cartoons, Pokemon!

[BeastRider]
