Funny you say that since i am nearing 1000 kanjis and can understand N4/N3 spoken japanese and i still struggle with katakana
Jokes aside it's actually very clever advice if you don't actually care to learn the language
bro look at the camera pls, great video tho
so basically just learn how to speak with a japanese accent lol
best way to go about learning katakana?
james unrelated to the video but I feel like you and your viewers often confuse just Tokyo with the rest of Japan. You have to keep in mind that (correct me if im wrong) 90% of your Japan experience has been in Tokyo which is really not that similar to all of Japan. It's the same as someone only living in NYC and then speaking about what America as a country is like.
I'm gonna fuck
This is logical advice. In my own experience of living in a country that had a non-Latin alphabet, my own suggestion was to at least learn the alphabet (in my case, Cyrillic) along with basic words and phrases. Being able to read a foreign writing system can go a long way towards helping a tourist find their way around without being completely helpless.
Couldn’t have came at a better time. Literally planning a trip to Japan
After almost 8 months of inconsistent listening input @ 0.85 speed on YouTube interviews with Japanese, I'm starting to recognize all the phonetic sounds and even a few words. I'll start mixing in Comprehensible Input soon.
Here’s something I need advice on bro — The heat in Tokyo right now! How do you deal with it?
In short eat ramen and visit the robot strip club while drunk on sake and off a molly 💯💯
This is super helpful as someone who wants to visit Japan but is embarassed about not being literate in any Japanese
I easily learnt hiragana and it stuck for years now, but I need to relearn katakana every single time I actually need it
99% foreigners that are also youtubers in japan staying in tokyo be lyke : this is japan ! all japan is lyke thiz ! thiz is biz brahs ! niggas ! dance dance evolution ! make some noise !
great video man, just discovered you- fun content. stop talking to the right of me lol i kept looking behind my right side to check if someone was behind O_O

Realistically speaking you will need to invest time learning Katakana which will take a couple of weeks to fully memorize depending on the person and then to read it confidently in context could take a month or 2. I think most people who stay over 1 month would have made some sort of effort to learn basic Japanese. Otherwise phrases/expressions are good enough for short stay imo. Also a lot of restaurant's these days have pictures on their menus which makes it easy to point at things.
