There we go.
0:06
What?
0:07
You really should be careful using these kind of very casual broken Japanese.

皆さんこんにちは!
0:27
And welcome to Let's Ask Shogo!
0:29
So recently, I have announced that I actually have a new dream, a new goal,
0:33
and it is to become a qualified Japanese language instructor.
0:38
I'm aiming to try to get the license to become an official instructor right now of Japanese,
0:42
and I have a ko-be page, if you guys remember that video I explained that I have a new platform to receive donations for me to go to school to get the license.
0:51
So right now, I am very eager to learn more about ways of studying Japanese,
0:55
and I've actually received a lot of DMs and comments about it too, like what's the best way to study Japanese,
1:00
so today I'd like to start off from Duolingo,
1:04
which is one of the probably the most famous
1:06
application website to study language.
1:09
They have a Japanese course as well,
1:10
so today I'm going to be trying it out
1:12
and letting you know how it's like.
1:14
And by the way, I have plans to do the same video series
1:17
for other applications and websites too,
1:20
but if you have any requests,
1:21
if you'd like to hear my opinions on a certain website
1:24
or application or something,
1:25
please let me know in the comments
1:26
and I'll definitely try to make a video of it as well.
1:28
In this channel, we can take a closer look at Japanese traditional culture, tips on traveling to Kyoto, and social problems in Japan.
1:34
So learners and lovers of Japanese language and culture, be sure to subscribe to enjoy more content!
1:38
So then, let's get started on Duolingo!
2:00
Italian, Hindi, Chinese, Russian, English, Arabic...
2:05
Oh my gosh, that's a lot of languages!
2:07
Oh, and it seems Japanese is actually number 3?
2:11
Number of people studying it?
2:13
It comes in 3rd place?
2:14
That's really interesting, okay!
2:16
Let's get started then, let me press it.
2:18
Oh okay, how did you hear about Duolingo?
2:21
Umm... I guess YouTube.
2:23
Why are you learning a language?
2:26
Because I'm filming a video?
2:27
I guess job opportunities then in a way.
2:31
Ah, so you get to choose how much time you can study per day.
2:36
Oh, that's really cool.
2:37
You can actually start from 5 minutes a day too.
2:39
Oh, and you can get a daily reminder to meet your goal.
2:42
Perfect.
2:43
You can connect it to your Facebook account or Google account
2:46
so you can get more messages probably, yeah, to keep going.
2:50
And choose your path.

Learning Japanese for the first time already knows some Japanese.
2:56
Oh, okay, so there are two different levels.
2:59
So then how about this time, if I start from scratch,
3:02
the problems might be the questions that Duolingo will be asking might be a little bit too easy,
3:07
so how about I say that I already know some Japanese and I'll press this one over here.
