The Best Advice for Learning a New Language Life Where Im From 2018-04-25 | Last year I interviewed a bunch of people about learning Japanese. One of them was Risa from JapanesePod101.com. Although the purpose was to talk about learning Japanese, as she teaches it on YouTube, we ended up talking about how she learned English and about language in general.Just to be clear, this is not a sponsored video. I just happened to know Meg and Risa through YouTube events and they also happen to make videos teaching people Japanese language and culture.You can check out the JapanesePod101 YouTube channel at youtube.com/user/japanesepod101 and the website at japanesepod101.com/.Website Post→ http://bit.ly/LWIFEP103Video Gear I Use📷 Camera: amzn.to/2JzuLII📷 Wide Lens: http://amzn.to/2BcJCGJ📷 Prime Lens: http://amzn.to/2C2LEpt📷 Drone: amzn.to/2Qbt9XV🎤 Microphone: amzn.to/2Pxx58d📺 Monitor: http://amzn.to/2E8XzUI📷 All the rest: kit.co/lifewhereimfrom/youtube-filming-gearConnect🗲Patreon: patreon.com/lifewhereimfrom 🗲Life Where I'm From X Channel: http://bit.ly/ytlwifx 🗲Website: http://www.lifewhereimfrom.com 🗲Facebook: facebook.com/lifewhereimfrom 🗲Instagram: instagram.com/lifewhereimfrom🗲Twitter: twitter.com/lifewhereimfrom

Will this plan to revitalize a Japanese tea town work? Life Where Im From 2022-07-09 | The more I visit the inaka "countryside" of Japan, the more I wonder about how these areas will weather the ageing and depopulation trends. Fortuitously, this project — which is sponsored by the Japanese government and d:matcha — fell in my lap. I had free rein to talk about a topic related to Wazuka and tea, so I chose to investigate the effort being made to revitalize the area and how it's longtime residents feel about newcomers. If you're interested in tea products from d:matcha, you can use the coupon code "LifeWhereImFromDM" at dmatcha.com to get 10% off your order of over $150. I don't receive anything additional if you use the code, it simply gives you 10% off a single order.A video I made about how Japanese green tea is made two years ago youtu.be/S04_KBC8mIA Extra Sources:- Japanese robotic tea harvester NHK youtu.be/t6-m_3LRwX0- Current Outlook of Japanese Tea report maff.go.jp/e/policies/agri/attach/pdf/tea_202012.pdf - Video Gear I Use📷 Camera: amzn.to/2NEokdl 📷 Drone: amzn.to/2GAURv8 📷 Wide Lens: http://amzn.to/2BcJCGJ📷 Prime Lens: http://amzn.to/2C2LEpt🎤 Microphone: http://amzn.to/2BJi114📺 Monitor: http://amzn.to/2E8XzUI📷 All the rest: kit.co/lifewhereimfrom/youtube-filming-gearConnect🗲Patreon: patreon.com/lifewhereimfrom 🗲Life Where I'm From X Channel: http://bit.ly/ytlwifx 🗲Website: http://www.lifewhereimfrom.com 🗲Facebook: facebook.com/lifewhereimfrom 🗲Instagram: instagram.com/lifewhereimfrom🗲Twitter: twitter.com/lifewhereimfromMusic by Epidemic Sound epidemicsound.com/referral/bad4aw

Why Most Japanese Clip Art Looks Like This Life Where Im From 2021-12-14 | I recently made a video about what a typical Tokyo neighbourhood is like and needed a few Japanese related clip art to illustrate what I was talking about. That's when my wife told me about irasutoya.com, a site where anyone can get quality clip art for basically free. Ever since using it, I found out that virtually everyone in Japan has either seen or used the clip art. Even more surprising was that everything is drawn by one person: Mifune Takashi. How did Takashi-san's illustrations become Japan's de facto clip art? Watch the vid and find out.And no, even though I love Takashi-san's clip art, this is most definitely not a sponsored video. But he was kind enough to let us use all the images for free, despite using over 100 of them!Video Gear I Use📷 Camera: amzn.to/2NEokdl 📷 Drone: amzn.to/2GAURv8 📷 Wide Lens: http://amzn.to/2BcJCGJ📷 Prime Lens: http://amzn.to/2C2LEpt🎤 Microphone: http://amzn.to/2BJi114📺 Monitor: http://amzn.to/2E8XzUI📷 All the rest: kit.co/lifewhereimfrom/youtube-filming-gearConnect🗲Patreon: patreon.com/lifewhereimfrom 🗲Life Where I'm From X Channel: http://bit.ly/ytlwifx 🗲Website: http://www.lifewhereimfrom.com 🗲Facebook: facebook.com/lifewhereimfrom 🗲Instagram: instagram.com/lifewhereimfrom🗲Twitter: twitter.com/lifewhereimfromMusic by Epidemic Sound epidemicsound.com/referral/bad4aw
