HEY GUYS! I'm Loretta and welcome to my channel!

Adverbs of manner

Notice I've been uploading more recently?

is that last Thursday, thanks to all of your support

and those who participated in my research last year

my graduate school thesis is now officially

I'm bursting with ideas, video ideas, things I want to try out for you

to help you guys save a little money, save a little time

but before we got into that I thought we could start

Japanese language learning memes and language learning memes in general.

We're going to have a bit of party drink~!

This is Fanta yogurt banana flavor w/ extra Vitamin B6

because that's what we drink at a party!!

I've got my favorite, persmission flavored Hi-Chew in case those are terrible.

@memesugoi is definitely not safe for work!

It helps you get things like jobs, and money to pay your bills

So, while I know a bunch of us are trying to get our game up this year

We'll get more into that later. Back to the memes!

Ok, that meme has nothing to do with "everywhere".

It's like an anime girl drowning in Kanji...

when I first learned Japanese 15 years ago

people were still handwriting notes and new years cards

if you wanted to learn Kanji you used one of these!

But recently you have your phone, your cellphone

and a lot of the words you need are katakana now.

For example, the only word for "health" or "healthy" when I started

Because of the vitamins and nutrients booms in Japan

In the recent video I posted with the sumo wrestler

"...so it's more HEALTHY than what we ate as sumo wrestlers!"

It's healthy, "herushii"...instead of "kenkouteki".

He may have said that just because he was talking to me obviously

but people are starting to use more westernized words

especially in commercials, branding, and buzz words

you can get away with not knowing as much Japanese as you needed to

Because when I learned Japanese, it was kanji kanji kanji kanji

It's not as bad as it used to be (B: "Speak for yourself!")

What would actually make this meme better is if it said furigana!

If there's furigana, the little readings on top,

9 time out of 10 you won't even see the kanji

your eyes are just naturally going to see the furigana on top!

ketsuron ni itaru made no imeji (the thought process before coming to a conclusion),

but then you double back on what you said

I get what they're trying to say with this squiggle

but if I were to give a more real example,

so you tell your boss a new idea you have.

They'll poke holes in it, and you affirm what they say

and so you make some changes but at the end of the day

you tweak your idea based on their input, and eventually

I get the meme but the Japanese looks wrong?

Am I just like really slow on these memes?

Like you just can't help it? Like "No, don't drink it!'

Ohhhh, so like, we can't resist using the wrong particle?

("Just like a cat can't resist drinking milk")
