vlogging in japanese until I become fluent

2025/9/14 Edited to

... Read moreVlog(ブイログ)とは、Video+Blogのことで、日常を“動画で日記みたいに残す”スタイルのコンテンツです。文章のブログよりも、声・表情・音・映像で伝わるので、短くても雰囲気が出やすいのが特徴。私は「vlog in Japanese(日本語Vlog)」をやってみて、勉強のモチベが上がったのと同時に、“日本語の表現力”が少しずつ増えていく感覚がありました。 ■Vlogとビデオブログの違い 正直ほぼ同じ意味で使われます。日本語だと「ビデオブログ」と言うと少し硬めで、YouTubeやSNSでよく見る日常系の動画は「Vlog」と呼ばれることが多い印象です。「vlog」「vlog」など表記ゆれもありますが、意味は同じでOK。 ■日本語Vlogが難しいと感じた時の対処(日本語 難しい ネタ) 日本語で話そうとすると、言いたいことが出てこない日があるんですよね。そんな時は“言える範囲で小さく言う”のが一番続きました。 ・「めっちゃ美味しい」→「美味しい」「すごく美味しい」 ・「楽しかった」→「楽しい」「また来たい」 ・説明が長くなる時→「こんな感じ」「見てみて」でつなぐ 料理や体験系(例:お寿司作り)だと、「巻く」「上に乗せます」「トッピング」「わさび入れます」みたいに動作がそのまま日本語練習になるので、ネタ切れもしにくいです。 ■Vlogのコツ:撮影→台本→編集をラクにする3つ 1)最初は“15〜30秒×数本”で撮る 長回しより、短いクリップを積む方が編集が簡単。撮る前に「挨拶→今日やること→感想」だけ決めると迷いません。 2)使い回せる定番フレーズを用意 毎回ゼロから話そうとするとしんどいので、冒頭は「今日は〜します」、締めは「じゃあね」「またね」みたいに固定化すると続きます。 3)字幕は“全部”じゃなく“キーワードだけ” 日本語Vlogは完璧な文章より伝わることが大事。例えば「寿司」「カニ」「サーモン」「いくら」「まぐろ」みたいな単語だけ字幕にしても十分見やすいし、検索にも強くなりやすいです。 ■初心者向け:撮りやすいVlogネタ ・食べ物レビュー(美味しい/辛い/甘い/おすすめ) ・買い物(これ買いました、値段、理由) ・勉強ルーティン(今日覚えた単語3つ) ・作業工程(作ります→巻く→できた) 私は「うまく話せない日でも投稿してOK」にしたら、逆に日本語が出てくるスピードが上がりました。Vlogは“上手に話す”より“続けて残す”のが一番の近道だと思います。

A lot of people have been asking me how long they should study each day and to be honest it entirely depends on how fast you want to become fluent in Japanese. Studying just 10 mins a day, you'll prob take 5-10 years if you study 8 hours a day you can def become fluent in a year
