"Dekimasu (Let’s Learn Japanese)"
[00:05.29] ....
[00:05.29] When I was a kid, after school
[00:07.70] I'd go straight to the TV
[00:09.70] Watch Sailor Moon battle it out
[00:12.96] And I grew up learning
[00:14.47] Just how to say "Thank you" and "Sorry"
[00:17.47] "There's nothing to worry about"
[00:20.37] ....
[00:20.37] And all of the ends of my books
[00:23.01] Had that same type of wide-eyed girl
[00:25.78] Drawn in anime style
[00:28.42] Don't really know how I ended up
[00:31.18] So fascinated with this
[00:33.43] It must've taken a while
[00:35.94] ....
[00:35.94] And now I wanna learn the language
[00:39.60] Is is too late for me to try this
[00:43.52] ....
[00:44.66] Try not to worry
[00:47.43] I'm taking it day-by-day with themed vocabulary
[00:52.44] New things are scary
[00:54.95] But if I just lose my way I consult my dictionary
[00:59.97] There's so many people in the world
[01:02.47] And I wanna understand
[01:04.23] What makes us human
[01:07.29] So I'm learning a new language
[01:09.15] With the help that I can manage
[01:11.40] 出来るかな?
[01:12.82] もっと勉強しよう
[01:14.30] 頑張ります
[01:15.44] ....
[01:23.72] If I am allowed to go further
[01:26.48] Conjugation is murder in any other language
[01:31.50] And most of the time I just blurt out the first thing I think of
[01:36.04] And then assess the damage
[01:39.17] And I have to know if I'm talking politely or casually
[01:43.93] Both are very different
[01:46.82] It's just that the order of sentences flipped to 180°
[01:51.33] No subject-verb agreement
[01:54.34] ....
[01:54.34] Still really wanna know Japanese
[01:59.61] Please?
[02:01.62] ....
[02:03.37] Try not to worry
[02:06.13] I'm taking it day-by-day with themed vocabulary
[02:11.15] New things are scary
[02:13.91] But if I just lose my way I consult my dictionary
[02:18.68] There's so many people in the world
[02:21.18] And I wanna understand
[02:22.94] What makes us human
[02:25.95] So I'm learning a new language
[02:27.96] With the help that I can manage
[02:30.21] 出来るかな?
[02:31.72] もっと勉強しよう
[02:32.97] 頑張ります
[02:34.11] ....
[02:48.92] Now let's go to 漢字
[02:50.92] ちょっと難しい
[02:52.68] But it's absolutely necessary
[02:55.06] しょうが無い
[02:56.63] ひらがな カタカナ you can learn them easy
[03:00.47] Memorize some good expressions that are customary
[03:04.73] ....
[03:04.73] 失礼します, excuse me
[03:08.62] お久しぶり, long time, no see
[03:12.52] じゃまた・またね, see you again
[03:16.28] Things you can say when you're meeting a friend
[03:20.29] ....
[03:22.05] 心配しないよ
[03:24.86] 毎日ゆっきり単語を学んでいる
[03:29.22] 新しい事はこわい
[03:32.52] But if I just lose my way I consult my dictionary
[03:37.54] There's so many people in the world
[03:39.79] And I wanna understand
[03:41.80] What makes us human
[03:44.71] So I'm learning a new language
[03:46.47] With the help that I can manage
[03:48.97] 出来るかな?
[03:50.48] もっと勉強しよう
