Great video!
Glad you liked it!
Wait up!!! 😅 Let me 1’st to learn Deutschland, français, and a little bit Indonesian as well hahaha… Then going with Chinese, japanese und Greek 😂❤ I’m enjoying this video pretty much. Thanks 🙏🏼
Japanese is easy to pronounce relative to other languages for English speakers. Chinese would be more difficult. It’s the other elements of Japanese like the written alphabets and the grammatical structure which make Japanese difficult for English speakers.
They are both very difficult!
@@storylearninghe has a very good accent and intonation. Impressive! But I wonder whether he learned to read and write kanji, as well as kana (which is pretty easy)?
I had about 3 years of college Japanese, plus I worked in Japan for a couple of years and married into a Japanese family. I found it really easy to pronounce, and I wondered whether that was because the sounds were so similar to Spanish, which I had studied for a couple of years in school. But kanji was my downfall! (I was so envious of friends who seemed to learn kanji easily.) So I went back to Spanish and made inroads on Portuguese after Covid hit. It’s really difficult to get beyond an intermediate level without at least being able to read news stories and such.
@@roxyiconoclastI doubt he can read Japanese above an elementary level if most of his time was spent focusing on spoken Japanese specifically. Even really other proficient learners still take over 2 years of constant study to be able to read fluently.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention that season 2 dropped, Olly! It’s fascinating to learn what went on behind the scenes for Ansel to prepare for the role as it’s something I’ve wondered about.
Nobody makes content like yours… keep it up!
I became completely fluent in French during COVID and now live in France and only speak in French all day, with an accent so good the French often think I’m French. Voila quoi.
Awesome!
How? I’ve lived in France 20 years and still sound English 😂
Sure you do.
from listening and copying I assume@@jacquelinebye6484
Olie, you should be an actor!!!
I bought your spanish, french, portuguese, german and russian stories. guess I’m learning 4 more languages than just portuguese 😂😂
Haitian Creole is Category III? What’s so difficult about it?
It’s really obvious how much better and more comfortable of a Japanese speaker he is in the 2nd season even to me, an English only speaker.
When actors dedicate this much to learning a skill for a show, you know it will be a good one. I remember watching the very first trailer and reading comments from japenese people saying he is really good, a next lever immersion.
I’m learning German (with Story Learning, and a native German tutor who can help me with my pronunciation). True story: I chose German over several other languages that I have dabbled in because the German word for cat is a grammatically feminine noun, and I have a female cat. Odd reason, but I have fallen in love with the language. I am determined to become fluent.
What is crazy about German, is WHO decides whether a German noun is masculine or feminine? WHY is the moon, DER Mond and the sun, DIE Sonne? The moon is traditionally feminine, and the Sun is traditionally masculine, in most cultures. And as a language, German pronounciation is quite precise, yet it contains a word, that is pronounced differently than it is written. Do you know the word for “look” in German is “gucken”, but is pronounced, “kucken”? And lastly, native english speakers have a difficult time with the numbers, because they are backwards, i.E.: one and twenty is einundzwanzig.
@@erntefreudeWell it’s not the moon that’s masculine, it’s the word “Mond” that’s masculine, so it has nothing to do with culture. That’s also why “Mädchen” is “das” and not “die” – it’s a diminutive, so the grammatical gender is neuter not feminine even though the word translates to “girl”. Technically there are rules to figure out the grammatical gender of a word, it’s just that they’re so complicated and contain so many exceptions, that learning them makes no sense (unless you’re into linguistics and want to learn about the language instead of learning the language). It’s easier to just learn the correct article in context together with the word.
I’m 6mo into my Japanese and 😭 my せんせい says my pitch accent and kana readings are great but it’s still hard to string sentences together naturally from my mind. Hoping to pass N5 in Dec.. I like studying for 4hrs at a time.. Need to do more often, no excuses (for me)!
Japanese,Chinese, and Korean are all the most difficult to write/read and speak because they are the top three languages furthest removed from english.
They have not spread to here much, Vietnamese is also quite hard, and all of them share a lot in common but not with english or many germanic languages.
Spanish and French are the top easiest languages for most English speakers because they share the most in common with each other, everyone is different so that about summarizes it.

Don’t forget every other subject included in the above as having to be learned/studied in great detail to be as fluent as physically possible.
If I had 9 hours a day and got millions of dollars every day – I’d learn Japanese, Mandarin and Korean to a high level and do French and Norwegian for fun. But, alas, I work 8 hours and I don’t get that much money and I still try to squeeze language learning into my life.
I discovered my love for Filipino/Tagalog language during the pandemic I have been listening to thw language for yeara but lockdowns put me in that learn it mode
Ronan O’Gara, La Rochelle’s rugby coach, inspires me to not be afraid of speaking a language. He speaks french with the thickest Munster Irish accent ever. Its kinda hilarious
Just for fun I began to learn Japanese. Now I’m fascinated of the completely different grammar and writing concept.
I study Japanese about 4 hours a day as well, and I feel like I make a lot of progress. I usually study vocab and grammar for 2 hours a day, and practice my listening and/or reading for another 2 hours a day. I have to keep it regimented as I’m still in college full time getting my computer science degree so I’m a busy bee studying human language and programming languages.
