Reimu

Hopefully someone can find use in this. Learning languages through music can be a great method, although perhaps not the most efficient, for those of us who love to listen to music. Repetition is important, and hearing the same lines over and over can help reinforce vocab and grammar patterns. If you're a beginner, the entire song can sound like gibberish, so something like this can function as a little crash course in a song so that every time you hear it, you can reinforce any of the vocab or grammar you've remembered. Please note: my Chinese skills are nowhere near my Japanese. The information in the video should be 95% accurate, but slight errors are much more likely to occur in my Chinese uploads than the Japanese ones. Also, a lot of information in Chinese is communicated through word order (as in English). This is not communicated in the video, as it is often similar to English and including it would put it on every slide. Generally speaking, things that can be considered grammar structures that appeared as commonly seen words were included in the vocab section and not the grammar section if said word was listed in the dictionary. If you like the video, please give it a like and subscribe to let me know people actually find stuff like this useful! Also, please note that I do not put ads on my videos of my own accord. Any ads one might encounter are due to whoever holds the rights to the music.

Learning Japanese can take a lot of work. So much grammar to learn and so much vocab to remember. Chances are, if you want to learn Japanese, you probably listen to some Japanese music. If you can get a rough idea of what words are used and what grammar is employed in the songs you listen to, you can make practice fun and learn while you drive your car, walk to class, or even while you sing in the shower. Language learning is all about repetition, so you can never have too much exposure. I figured I would have found something like this very useful at one point, so hopefully some of you can find some use for it now! Some things to keep in mind: While I do know Japanese, I am no linguistics buff. The parts of speech in this video should be largely accurate, but there may be an error here and there. I generally tried to err on the more literal side with this translation. In my opinion, for those who are just starting, it's best to have a good understanding of what is actually being said, so for learning purposes some of the English might be a bit awkward. Also, some grammar shows up that I chose not to explain due to it being part of an expression or it being a very common usage of the grammar that actually shows up in the dictionary. When I was in doubt as to whether or not to include an explanation, I erred on the side of the threshold being whether or not it has its own dictionary entry. The following grammar points are fundamental to the Japanese language and thus were not mentioned, as including them would put them on every slide: 1. Lack of definite/indefinite articles (a, an, the) 2. Lack of distinction between singular and plural 3. Subject omission 4. Particle omission 5. General omission (of any information that is evident based on context) It is also worth noting that some words used in this song might have multiple meanings/usages. At the bare minimum, I tried to make sure that the meaning being used in the song was listed. Additionally, on very crowded slides, some of the more common grammar may have been omitted in order to make room (usually relative clauses).
