Ah yeah theres a lot of homophones comparatively.
Idk, I guess I haven’t thought too much about it. To me, かける is just かける.
As an exchange student in the US, one person once legitimately complimented my handwriting and said that I can write the English letters so well
My native language is German
Swallowing my head
How long did it take you to learn American? You write like a native
Fun fact: As a country in North America, Mexicans are all fluent in American 
I used WaniKani for learning American. Figured it would be easier to first learn Japanese picture language and then use this website here to learn the complex American language that can only be understood by the finest minds on this planet
Ah, yes, brilliant minds like Marjorie Taylor Greene - calling Democrats pro-pedophiles one second & the next getting offended that someone would joke about Will Smith slapping her
I do think the level of English is way higher than the Japanese on Wanikani. But that’s only natural…
The Crabigator shows us the true path: given Japanese sentence structure, that’s effectively what we have to do every day! 
Not gonna lie, those were some of the worst reasons why Chinese is easy and English (not American) is hard… especially because he’s never even learned either as an adult. He clearly grew up with English, and said so himself that he doesn’t speak Chinese… Makes me wonder if he has ever learned a second language.
He’s a hyper polyglot so I think he knows what he’s talking about. He raised some interesting points that really make you think.
That’s really useful because learning something as easy as Japanese has made my mind so idle and lazy. If you don’t use it you lose it, you know?
Literally getting mush brain looking at these pictures all day. Even novels are just glorified picture books at this point.
Haha, thanks for this. Now I realize that I’ve actually been speaking American for most of my life, damn.
You don’t say.
Being multi-lingual doesn’t make you an expert in languages you don’t speak…
Perhaps I missed some of the subtler sarcasm in his video, as I expected something legitimate, and he didn’t mean any of what he said, but pretty much nothing he talks about is a valid reason for Chinese being “easy”.
The whole channel is making fun of stereotypes in language learning and through and through meant in an sarcastic way.
Click on some of the other videos from him maybe one of them will be more to your liking.
Thank you for clarifying things. I’m not so good at catching sarcasm sometimes, and I legitimately like using kanji and have considered moving into Chinese from Japanese so I was sincerely hoping to hears something useful.
I thought you are kidding actually…
I’m not sure if I should take this seriously or not
