Full transcript

1. 0:01So, I wanted to do something different
2. 0:02today. This is an app that I really use
3. 0:04a lot. It's called today
4. 0:06easy Japanese and it has
5. 0:10mm 2-minute 1-minute reading of
6. 0:13different
7. 0:14news around the world.
8. 0:17And this is what we're going to check
9. 0:18today. Well, let's go with an easy one
10. 0:20that I was just reading about
11. 0:22a few minutes ago. Let me search for it.
12. 0:25And it's going to be somewhere in here.
13. 0:27It's making me look bad.
14. 0:30Oh, wait. I put it on favorite. So,
15. 0:31yeah.
16. 0:33Here is favorite.
17. 0:36And there you go. That's it. Mickey and
18. 0:38Minnie Mouse.
19. 0:40And I know you're going to say it's
20. 0:41always in Japanese, but here's the cool
21. 0:43thing about this app. Let me remove
22. 0:46this timer here.
23. 0:50All right. So, it has the N5 words
24. 0:53underlined green and four words blue and
25. 0:56so on and three in purple and two
26. 0:59on yellow and N1
27. 1:01in red.
28. 1:03If you don't understand what it's
29. 1:04saying, well, the good thing is that we
30. 1:06go over here to the corner
31. 1:09and it's going to translate for us each
32. 1:11sentence.
33. 1:13So, I click translate, please, and it
34. 1:15says, "Disneyland's 70 years old
35. 1:17celebrate
36. 1:19Nanajunen." So, Nanajunen.
37. 1:22Okay, so the translation is not
38. 1:23completely well, but you get the idea.
39. 1:26It's celebrating 70 years.
40. 1:28And then we continue with the next
41. 1:30sentence.
42. 1:31Disneyland's 70 year anniversary
43. 1:33Disneyland's Okay, it's repeating.
44. 1:36Mickey and Minnie have arrived in new
45. 1:38clothes. So, that's this sentence right
46. 1:40here. Do you know what Tarashi
47. 1:44If we click on it, it's going to tell us
48. 1:47the meaning.
49. 1:54Okay, so it didn't look good.
50. 1:56But you get the idea, right? Let's see
51. 1:59this other sentence.
52. 2:02And it said
53. 2:03It was my first time seeing it in Japan.
54. 2:06So
55. 2:08Nihon de
56. 2:10hajimete
57. 2:12mimashta.
58. 2:15And basically, you know, you get the
59. 2:17whole
60. 2:18idea of how the system works. This is
61. 2:20English. Let me see if it has another
62. 2:21language.
63. 2:22Language. Oh, yeah. You can.
64. 2:25That's new. I didn't remember that.
65. 2:28What about this little alien here? If I
66. 2:29press on it
67. 2:31what will happen? Nothing.
68. 2:34Let's go back now to the
69. 2:37article. And you see it's very very
70. 2:39short.
71. 2:41Very simple. We're going to click on
72. 2:43play so we can listen to it.
73. 3:01So I'm pretty sure you understand Mickey
74. 3:03and Minnie is right here. Atarashi. So
75. 3:06again
76. 3:07we're going to click one more time on
77. 3:09this one. Atarashi.
78. 3:13And for some reason he's putting the
79. 3:14whole thing together. But atarashi means
80. 3:17new.
81. 3:18I think we should already cover in
82. 3:20Duolingo. Fuku is the next word that is
83. 3:23in blue and you already know that is
84. 3:25clothing.
85. 3:29Yay.
86. 3:30And then when you wear clothes, remember
87. 3:32kimasu.
88. 3:34But in this case it kimashita so they
89. 3:35were wearing.
90. 3:37Nihon, you know is Japan.
91. 3:41And so on. And it's pretty cool.
92. 3:44Because what I like about Duolingo is
93. 3:46that it's mixing up
94. 3:48N5 N4 N3 N2 N1 words. And in this
95. 3:52article you're going to see exactly the
96. 3:53same at the end after you read,
97. 3:56you're going to have a little quiz.
98. 3:59Very simple. It's the same
99. 4:01um questions. I mean, the same sentence
100. 4:04to see if you remind the kanji or the
101. 4:07word. In this case, on the article,
102. 4:10after 70, we have the kanji symbol for
103. 4:14year,
104. 4:16which is nen.
105. 4:20Okay.
106. 4:21You get the idea.
107. 4:23It's making me look bad.
108. 4:25So, if we click on it,
109. 4:26we got it right. Submit it. We got it
110. 4:29right.
111. 4:30So, that's one thing. We have other
112. 4:32articles. Here is one with Donald Duck
113. 4:34and Daisy. Let's click on it.
114. 4:38And this one has more words.
115. 4:41Let's do with Mickey.
116. 4:45Because I also wanted to show you that
117. 4:47this is free. You can actually you can
118. 4:50buy their subscription.
119. 4:53The subscription is a little better.
120. 4:54Have more options.
121. 4:56I want to show you here on top has a
122. 4:59little book and it has the words.
123. 5:02Maybe those words that you may
124. 5:04forget. It has like a vocabulary flash
125. 5:05card
126. 5:07of the article. And that's pretty cool.
127. 5:11Look at that. Castle. Let me know New
128. 5:13Castle.
129. 5:15No, but it's not
130. 5:25Anyway,
131. 5:27how to how to mean it. Okay? Okay.
132. 5:32I hear show, which is
133. 5:34mizu,
134. 5:38which we know it could be water, also
135. 5:40the kanji for Wednesday. So, yeah,
136. 5:42pretty awesome. Let's go back and now
137. 5:44let's go with this other click here.
138. 5:49So, it's making us a question and I
139. 5:51believe it's a pronunciation question.
140. 5:54Let's do it again, yeah.
141. 6:00Okay.
142. 6:02I'm going to do my best.
143. 6:05Oops.
144. 6:19Horrible.
145. 6:22Uh, I guess I did it wrong.
146. 6:30Mhm.
147. 6:31Okay, for some reason it's making me
148. 6:32repeat some now.
149. 6:35What else? Um
150. 6:37Oh, by the way, if you're reading the
151. 6:39article, do you have the option to go
152. 6:41faster or slower on the pronunciation?
153. 6:43Check it out.
154. 6:59You see?
155. 7:03Sorry.
156. 7:05Okay.
157. 7:06So, basically that's it. Also, that
158. 7:08another thing that this app has
159. 7:11it has uh
160. 7:12the camera function, so you can put a
161. 7:15text and it will translate it for you.
162. 7:17It has also lessons, just like Duolingo.
163. 7:20If we go here
164. 7:22to lessons, it's pretty cool. I really
165. 7:24like it.
166. 7:25A dictionary, exam, if you plan to take
167. 7:28the N5 and 4 test.
168. 7:31I'm a total failure, I know.
169. 7:33Some videos, uh videos, they need to
170. 7:36work on that. I'll talk to them later.
171. 7:39And basically that's it. This is
172. 7:41something very nice. I really enjoy this
173. 7:43app. Give it a try and
174. 7:47All right, keep practicing. Do your
175. 7:49best. I believe in you.
176. 7:51What else?
177. 7:54Thank you for listening. Bye.
