Chad Zimmerman & Steve Kaufmann Talk Japanese, Encouragement and Long Term Passion!!

collab of the year I'm glad you two could work together!

Was an absolute honor getting to chat with Steve. Outstanding guy with a big heart for language learning.

Who do you wanna see me talk to next?? :D Maybe I can make it happen!

Cool man! I always see both of you, just saw a video of him in portuguese today and now I look and there you are!

This is beautiful!! Glad you got to get some talk time with someone who has the same views as you do about learning a language!!

I love how excited you clearly were through the entire thing. Fun video Chad. Super excited for you man.

YESSSSSSS

Amazing to see you talking to each other!

I agree with the others man. Great material, a lot of effort put into it. Big thank you from us who love languages, we really appreciate it! (The quality of your videos certainly deserves millions of views!)

Very cool

This is the type of wholesome advise people often don't really pay attention to.
The pressure of studying insanely hard just to get a bit better than the average learner can cause you to lose passion for the language, or even damage you. Chad is really wise when it comes to this kind of stuff, we can see in his channel how he learned not only japanese, but how to escape from unhealthy behavior.

That's great for your channel. Glad you guys did this video.

This is excellent! Love the positivity , love the collaboration and loved hearing the methods of language learning when men were men.

This video is so utterly inspirational to me. I decided to learn Japanese on a whim and obviously has proved to be difficult and I’m teaching myself, but I started to feel a lot of pressure that I should be further along in my studies, but seeing this. Wow. It just makes me feel relieved. I started this and am doing this for me and to quote Steve “that is my god given right” ❤️

You made it big Chad!🎉 So cool you got to talk with Steve! I can learn so much from both of your channels 😁

Kemushichan, Only in Japan (John), Dogen, That Japanese Man Yuta, Lindie Botes, and laoshu50500 would be cool! 😊

Love your video ❤️ Come join our party 🎉🎤🎉

Wow, did not expect to see this! Congrats on the interview. Its very clear how much you respect Steve Kaufmann.

Very nice stuff, and I can respect that reasoning for being reluctant to speak Japanese on your channel.

This is just what I needed. I've been very discouraged with my Japanese lately and have been feeling like I should be much further along. This is a great reminder that I'm learning for me and for the love of the language. ☺

Damn he was in Japan during city pop was at its peak いいなー

you didn't link the video you said you were going to link.. :(

Chad, this was some awesome content! Thanks for setting up this interview. Very interesting topics

Who here knows how to say "tie my shoe laces" in Japaknee.

Steve Kaufman seems like a cool guy. I saw him on many polygons channels

I’ve been studying Japanese for almost 10 years and don’t know how to say “tie your shoelaces” lol The subject hasn’t come up so far. If I ever need to know it I will learn it then. Great video!

Lol Chad looks so cute when he's excited about his questions

This video is golden.

I remember watching this vid months ago and the comment about the "tie my shoelaces" stuck in my mind. Awhile back I came across the word for lace and few days ago the word for tie.. So i guess I can say "Tie my shoelaces".
僕の靴の紐を結んでください。
And I've only been studying Japanese for around 9months so i guess I lucked out haha
meh it's probably wrong since it could be 締める instead.. :D

No way. Its my guy steve😍
