Este es definitivamente mi nivel, pude acertar con la gran parte, ahora estoy practicando tanto escuchar en inglés y en japonés pero con el primero no tengo tanto problema ya que llevo más años estudiandolo, me siento feliz porque pude comprender la gran mayoria y aprendí algunos verbos y palabras que no sabia, aún así no descarto estudiarme un curso más intensivo pronto uvu) espero no ser la única que habla español por aquí xD

This video is replete with translation errors, John Garcia–for example, 2:26 Japanese = What DID the man order? English = What is the man GOING TO order?
These poor translations exist throughout JapanesePod101 videos. This is not the only one.
I remember watching these when I started studying and I understood nothing 😀 It’s amazing to watch them again now and understand almost everything. Just keep studying guys!
I’m proud of you:) let’s do this guys!!!
@オリバーオリバー thanks, I’ll check it out.
@truueindeedi Look into Matt vs Japan on Youtube, he explains the methodology
@オリバーオリバー how were you been immersing yourself at the time?
What’s a good routine way to study?
If this is Absolute Beginner level, than I think it will take 200 years for me to speak fluent Japanese.
@Andrew N much better than me. I got はい for the first time
I’ve followed japanese 101 for a while, and only thing I could understand in first minute was desuka… so I am not sure japanese 101 is the correct way to learn japanese if this is meant for beginners.
555555 no different here 🙂
I know this is really old now but same T~T if you see this how you doing now?
Bro never underestimate yourself. Just do it with love and believe
Many people are surprised that this is for absolute beginners and that they find it too hard. The point here is to get a general idea of what is going on, nobody expects you to understand everything here! The goal is to see if you can kind of grasp what the questions are and what the people in the dialogues might talk about, being able to recognize that one important keyword 😀 Don’t sweat it if you fail in the beginning. Take this video as an exercise to get used to the flow of the language, intonation etc. Don’t get discouraged, when I first learned English and French, the first listening comprehensions were always a pain and I could never figure out what they were saying except for a few words. But that’s the point, try to concentrate on the words you already know and figure out the rest by context. If it’s not going well, take a break, go and learn a little more grammar and vocabs and come back to it later. 🙂
I tried watching twitch. there are lots of japanese streamers, and they talk pretty slow compared to many “listen beginners test in japanese” on youtube. not saying this video is fast.. just a lot of words i dont recognise 🙂
I know right? I remember watching this about two years ago, and saw it again today and I can understand everything as easily as English now but back then I hardly understood a thing
@Momo absolute beginner in terms of fluency. This is beginner with the most basic of basics in terms of grammar and vocabulary
wisely said
What the hell I got everything right 😭😭😭 I’ve been learning japanese for 1 year and a half and I can finally understand kindergarten stuff lmao
I’ve heard language learning being described as swimming out to sea. The hardest part is the beginning where you have to battle the large breaking waves, but after that it’s much smoother sailing.
This is clearly the breaking waves.
its so cool, i started learning 2 months ago and openend this because it said “absolute beginners” and then was devastated because all i could hear was fast chating without getting a word and left totally frustrated… now i came back a few weeks later and most of it is well understandable…. really feels like a small triumph!! 🙂
I know I’m a year late, but I’m curious what practice/study was most beneficial for you to find this easy to understand?
@adri.ph38 Thank you for writing :,) I am crying rn. I just listened the first two questions and it is so easy 😭😭 it is development I guess :”D
@adri.ph38 believe me you will!! Just keep studying 🙂 good luck~
@adri.ph38 I am studying on my own and it has been always hard to find some good resources :,) but now I know a couple of things and I can genuinely say that all the things you are using are pretty good. Rn I am N4 and I am still using genki (genki ii), wanikani and sometimes anki. All of them are very useful. If you want to know any other, maybe you can take a look at TRY! and Nihongo Sou Matome series (I do think that genki is kinda better) Plus, listening podcast would be awesome for listening skills. (I can recommend Nihongo con Teppei for podcast) Enjoy!
@adri.ph38 happy to hear that!! I will be here in a few months ofc I will remember this time :”D again, good luck (:
I have studied Japanese for about a year. I’m so happy when I see some progress… I understand all of these conversations and can answer the questions! If you really want to learn the language you can do it!!! 日本語のべんきょうがんばってください! 😉
I love this video for listening practice. I really like the clear speaking voices and the way they repeat everything with subtitles. I’m preparing for the JLPT N5 and I know from practice tests that listening is my weakest skill right now. I just wish JP101 would add even more of this absolute beginner level listening comprehension since it’s so useful.
Thank you for your interest in Japanese. Please do your best.
日本語に興味を持っていただきありがとうございます。頑張ってくださいね。
I am Japanese and I would like to do my best to study English. Let’s keep on each other.
私は日本人なので英語の勉強を頑張りたいと思います。
お互い頑張っていきましょう。
I’m Japanese
I’m glad that i have people studying Japanese.
あああああー すごい あなた 英語 いい ^^
I could only read half of the kanjis you wrote……. I better study more
I am an American. Thank you!
私はアメリカ人です。ありがとうございます。
あんたは本当に日本人ですか？I have doubts.. But good luck w English. 頑張れゾ!
This was the exact level of listening comprehension I was looking for and is perfect for where I am right now. Thank you! I’ve been studying consistently for a few months now but struggle with podcasts (even though they are fun to listen to!). I was pleased to realise that I can actually understand some Japanese (so long as it’s at this level lol).
I can read and understand a lot, but my listening comprehension is actually somewhat limited. I’m glad that they speak slowly.
sameeee
Markus Andersen me too! It’s so terrible for listening.
I’ve been studying Japanese for 2 weeks now and I could understand just what they were talking about..I mean I just understood some words not the full sentences but this is really exciting!!
This is fantastic! Thank you. I would love for you to do more videos like this. I am a a beginner and have only been learning for a few months now. Some of the videos I still can’t understand very well whilst listening. I understand them when I read the text. If you could produce more videos of this difficulty or even a tiny bit easier/slower speaking, that would be my recommendation. Thank you very much though, fantastic learning!!
I’m so happy after 5 months of learning Japanese, I’m able to understand 90% of this listening quiz! 😍 I got 17 out of 20! How did you guys do? ✨
I just begin to learn Japanese 2 months ago with the videos of Ammo Misa and i understand like 70% of the sentences in this video, she is a super teacher I really recommend her channel !!
I also recommend her, she’s so wonderful!
Yeah, I started with Japanese From Zero (George Trombley), which is great for beginners, then I went to Ammo Misa’s channel. I have learned a lot from both channels.
Yeah bro same, I started learning seriously with Misa videos a month ago (but i have been interested in japanese like for 7 years more or less, and always have watched anime and listened japanese music) and I understand a lot of this video! I really recommend here, she’s the best!!
I’ve been going through these short dialogues very slowly and they’re very helpful! Whenever I’m listening carefully and suddenly understand a word that was difficult, I feel like I am seeing the matrix, haha :’)
Back when I started learning, I didn’t understand most of the stuff and I would just get the answer right because of knowing the key words and intuition. Some months (dedicating just a bit of time each day I could) and series from this channel later, I can understand almost everything. Truly heartwarming.
This comment made we cry i little bit hahaha im studying n5 right now
Been learning for about 1.5 years alr and this is just right for me, so for those who learnt for few months and couldn’t understand is fine. Use this as a gauge on how much you improve as time goes on 🙂
Same lmao
