  Naoko san, I&apos;m happy that you&apos;re finally back! My motivation for learning Japanese is simply because I love it. I&apos;ve been self taught for about 5+ years and the biggest tip are.... 1.Don&apos;t judge yourself - just enjoy the journey, keep learning the language because you love it (don&apos;t study something you don&apos;t enjoy - no matter what everyone says). 2. Study something that you LOVE. If it feels like work, your doing something wrong. 3. Don&apos;t skip the basics. Learn grammar, otherwise your going to struggle.<br><br>If your doing it correctly, the feeling of improvement should feel natural (in other words, you shouldn&apos;t feel it at all). But the moments where people compliment you...CHERISH that feeling and use it to motivate yourself even further.

  初めて日本語を使って時には全くソワソワと覚えています。

  I also recently rediscovered my love for learning Japanese. I&apos;d like to say that I put it on a pause but never gave up. Now I&apos;m doing things a bit differently, like structured learning. Learning on my own was fine for a while but now that i&apos;m more serious I&apos;m learning grammer, kanji and practicing what I learn the entire week with a tutor so that I practice speaking. Speaking it has helped tremendously! I hope that you continue to use your Motivation and love for communication to reach your goal to become fluent in English!

  I actually cried listening to your story of speaking English. It really helped me remember why I’m learning Japanese. I just love seeing the joy in people when I can talk to them in Japanese and communicate. I understand that you had that same experience in English.本当にありがとうございます先生！

  1年1ヶ月ほど日本に住んでいましたが、帰国すると日本語を使う機会がほとんどなく、勉強のモチベーションもなかなか上がりませんでした。<br>帰国してもうすぐ1年になりますが、日本語を話すのが本当に難しくなったと感じています。<br>どうしようか迷っていましたが、こちらに戻ってきたので、モチベーションがなくても勉強を続けたいと思います。

  Naoko san, you&apos;re glowing!! Haha, I was smiling when you were talking about your childhood self speaking English for the first time. You&apos;ve made a ton of progress and that realization &amp; feeling you had when you opened up the word dictionary you used to use must&apos;ve felt amazing! I&apos;m super happy for you!! Thanks for sharing your story today! I&apos;m sure if you continue your studies, you will get closer to native speaking! You can do it!! &nbsp;:)

  Naoko-san!! Thanks for sharing this video. I’m from Taiwan and have been learning Japanese for just one month. When I searched for “comprehensible Japanese,” I found your channel, and it really inspired me! My first second language is English, and I believe motivation is the most important thing when learning any language. I’m learning Japanese not only because I love Japanese culture, but also because I want to travel to Japan and talk with people there. Looking forward to your next video!

  Hi Naoko, I&apos;m glad to see you&apos;re learning English again. It can be very hard to learn a foreign language. I&apos;ve been studying Japanese for longer than a year now, and I still struggle with the language. What motivates me is seeing my Japanese improve, it encourages me to speak more. Learning a foreign language is a long road, but by the time you reach fluency, you&apos;ll be able to have deeper conversations with locals. I find that fascinating, that is not something you can do with AI. :)
