If you can't hear this, plug in headphones & it will work! Left&Right channels cancel one another out on some (not all) devices!! This video has subtitles in English AND Japanese! Click Youtube's captions option to activate. Blog post about this: fluentin3months.com/japanese-mission
(I'll fix this sound issue for all future uploads of this series)
Some questions people generally have in these projects are answered in this video, for instance:
1. Why do this in 3 months? Why not just take your time? 01:06
2. Why the hell are doing this in Spain?? Why not just go to Japan now and spend longer there? 01:43
3. Is this a scam? "Fluent in 3 months" sounds like a dubious claim. 02:56
4. What do you mean exactly by "fluent"? 03:55
5. I think "fluent" can only be used when you speak exactly like a native speaker, so you are wrong to use it like you do Benny 04:14
6. What about all Kanji? 05:35
7. How do you plan to do all this 06:24
8. Some final encouragement 07:25
Please see the blog post for many questions answered that you may have. I explain my Kanji decision in more detail, give a timeline of how I see the project progressing, and say how I'm fixing issues I've had in similar 3 month projects in the past.
I'd really appreciate it if you shared this video with your friends, and don't forget to subscribe because there'll be WEEKLY updates! The first video entirely in Japanese will come already in a few days! :)
One edit: Ignore what I said about the JLPT. This test is NOTHING like the CEFRL tests, in that it completely ignores spoken ability (as well as writing ability), and only consists of a multiple choice $20 exam. It is taken very seriously by many institutions in Japan, but to me a language exam that doesn't test your spoken abilities is not a complete language test. I'll have a Japanese native with an academic background test my spoken level at the end of the project and share my results with you, even if I won't be awarded a certificate.
