Yes, hello everyone, this is Naginee. Thank you for coming to Naginee's Secret Base, Naginee's Secret Base, today too. Not only Japanese culture and daily life, but also I am sharing with you all my past experiences and what I have learned from them. Let's enjoy learning Japanese together! Yes, so how are everyone doing? I am fine. That you're coming to Naginee's secret base today as well means that You're all working so hard on studying Japanese. Yes, you've worked hard. I believe you all have various goals and are diligently studying Japanese. I think there are many people who have no idea where to start studying. Therefore, today I would like to introduce you to five steps that will help with learning Japanese. Yes, I've come up with five steps, so let me go through them. Let me share this with everyone. Yes, first let me introduce five points upfront. First of all, the first point is to memorize a large number of words. The second one is listening to Japanese, listening skills. The third one is writing in Japanese, such as composing essays or diary entries. The fourth one is watching Japanese content. The last one is talking with a Japanese person. Today, I would like to share these five steps with you. Please listen carefully to the entire explanation, as I will go through it step by step. Yes, then let's immediately proceed to Step 1. Step 1 is to memorize a lot of words. It's difficult to read sentences or understand conversations if you don't know the words. Therefore, it is extremely important to start by increasing your vocabulary. Yes, and if possible, not just individual words, but Here, let's memorize sentences and phrases using the words together with the words. That way, it'll stay in your memory, and I think it'll be incredibly helpful later on, yes. Moreover, during my actual English studies, I truly realized how essential vocabulary is. Therefore, as the first step, we should memorize as many words as possible. Please try it yourself, everyone. Yes, it's the second step. The second thing is listening to Japanese. For example, this Naginee podcast is also about listening to Japanese, isn't it? You know, there are also a lot of YouTube videos right now, um, not right this very moment, but there are many YouTube videos available right now. There are YouTubers from all kinds of genres, you know. Therefore, every day, please spend a little time—about 10 minutes, or even 5 minutes—watching your favorite YouTuber or YouTube content in your preferred genre. Therefore, please make time to listen to Japanese. Since you're listening to this podcast by Nagi-neechan today, that's fine—okay, cleared. You're right; I think shorter videos are easier to stay focused on and can be sustained every day compared to longer ones. Sometimes, even if you set a goal like listening to Japanese for two hours a day, in the end, you just get fed up, don't you? Although studying might be quite enjoyable, listening to unfamiliar Japanese for a long time can be pretty tough, right? Therefore, I recommend consistently listening to Japanese every day with focused effort over short periods of time. Now, next is step 3. Step 3 is to write a diary; after that, it's writing paragraphs. I worked today, or it rained today, something simple like that. It's important to keep doing this every day, even if it's just simple sentences at first. In step 2, by watching and listening to various YouTube videos and gradually getting used to Japanese expressions, I think I can achieve both input and output by writing a diary. At first, it might seem difficult, but nowadays, technology has advanced so much, with things like ChatGPT, you know, I think there are various Japanese learning apps, so you can study sentences through those platforms, While learning how to express and write things in this way, please write your own diary entries. Of course, I warmly welcome any questions or comments you'd like to share in response to my remarks. I will definitely read your message and reply, so please wait for me. Then let's move on to step 4 and look at the Japanese content. For example, there are anime, dramas, manga, and so on. Moreover, studying through content you enjoy may make learning Japanese more enjoyable and help you continue your studies. Here's a crucial point, though. If one chooses the study method of watching Japanese dramas, for example, watching Japanese dramas, There are various genres even within Japanese dramas. For example, stories about students, school stories, romantic love stories, and so on. There are also stories centered around work, as well as various other genres, I think. Moreover, depending on the genre, the way Japanese is spoken or expressed naturally varies. Therefore, for instance, if you are someone who wants to learn polite language, when all of you feel the desire to learn polite language, You know, in really remote areas where the local dialect is strong, when you watch dramas, you don't hear much honorific language, do you? Therefore, you know, depending on the genre, I guess, narrowing it down to the specific genre I want to learn, like if I want to learn polite language, then Watching dramas about careers, career-related issues, or workplace matters can also teach you how to use very polite and careful language. Please pay attention to that and try searching for what kind of drama you'd like to watch. So, um, how far did we go, again? It's the last step, step 5. This is about talking with Japanese people. I recommend creating opportunities to actually speak with native Japanese speakers once you've reached this level of Japanese proficiency. For example, there are various tools like Japanese learning apps, HelloTalk, Japanese lessons, and so on. Therefore, I think I've been able to speak extensively by using such tools, and I've previously absorbed a wide range of things. It's these four steps here—imagine taking the input and outputting it right here. It's the same not just with studying, but also with sports. At first, I practiced alone, then practiced in pairs, We had some practice matches, and now it's finally time for the real game. I think studying is pretty much the same way. I think that by properly following each step and studying progressively, you can definitely improve your level gradually and reliably. By the time you reach this Step 5, please actively create opportunities to talk with Japanese people. It's okay even if it's not perfect, of course. I think the most important thing is to keep going little by little, learning as we make mistakes. That's the general idea. Today, I introduced five steps for learning Japanese. How about you all? I'm happy if this serves as a reference and helps everyone improve their Japanese skills. Yes, if anything, feel free to ask questions in the comments. Yes, so thank you for coming to Nagine's secret base again today. Yes, then let's meet again next time. Bye-bye.
