Hey guys, Just watched this on Youtube and couldn't stand not telling u about it,
If you're very discouraged about learning Japanese or your Japanese friends made fun of you then watch it, else NO! lol

okay if you already did it, just remember that how bad you are now in Japanese doesn't mean you can't do it! At least u can be fluent in both languages!!

After about 215 Kanjis I don't find it discouraging at all, really , and I hate discouraging videos!! well maybe it's for other ppl but for those who are in RTK1 they will be happy that they recognized many of those Kanjis:) cool one though.

Erm, that was exactly my point. Watch it if you're discouraged. It will keep you going!

The guy is entertaining but I think he misses the point on learning from anime or any other media source one might enjoy. No one is going to sound like Naruto when speaking later on.

He got a point about the unnecessary vocabulary and I don't think it will give you the proper grammar specially for basics, and he said that it's a good way but not as drugs. Keep it as an encouragement topic!

Ooops! I am not really discouraged so I shouldn't have come in

But there are encourgement and discouragement threads active:

The guy seems to believe Japanese can only be learned through hard work. I am not so sure that is the case.

That Koichi person is not that good at Japanese. He only sticks to teaching beginner Japanese, some of which he gets wrong.

This is the first lesson in "Japanese is Possible" lessons , they are free japanese lessons , good but not complete, but the 1st one is encouraging.
