Video Description

DISCLAIMER: Sorry in advance for the video quality. It started out fine, but then my camera cut off twice and the sun totally messed up the lighting, haha. But I hope you’ll still enjoy and appreciate our discussion! In this video, I sit down with Matt vs. Japan for a conversation about how his views on language learning have changed over the years. It’s been two years since our last chat, so I was curious to hear what’s shifted for him, especially now that he’s been living in Japan for 3 years. We talk about the ups and downs of learning Japanese, what he used to believe, and what he thinks now about immersion, study routines, and finding what actually works for you. Matt also answers burning questions from viewers, sharing updated advice and practical tips that go beyond the usual textbook methods. Throughout the interview, we get into the real-life struggles and mindset changes that come with learning a language. If you’re on your own language journey, I think you’ll appreciate Matt’s new perspective and the honest stories we share. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ► References My previous interview with Matt https://youtu.be/6SmkyHqxuqc?si=aIRz4v6lqo07U6Zc Matt's channel: @mattvsjapan His language community: https://www.skool.com/mattvsjapan/about The pitch accent website "kotu.io" https://kotu.io/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with me on my social media :). https://linktr.ee/kevinabroad ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ► Music: http://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music http://www.danosongs.com/ --------- Cameras and Gear Used To Shoot My Videos ------- (I'll get a commission if you buy from the following Amazon links.
