I Became a REAL Japanese Teacher for a Day

Joey looks like he'd put children in giant robots and force them to fight “angels”

I love how every class is usually carried by 2 talkative students

Joey is like that substitute teacher you had in highschool that only taught a single lesson, but you remember for the rest of your life

Did…did I just voluntarily watched a 21 minutes Japanese lesson?

Joey looks like the type to say "Class is over when I say it's over. The bell doesn't dismiss you, I dismiss you."

If Joey ever quits YouTube he could honestly become an incredible japanese teacher

I love when joey said "get in the fucking robot shinji! " truly one of the anime man moments.

I love how he never pulls the "I am Japanese" card, as not to discorage the students. He instead says that he studied for 28 years, the funny thing is he is 28. Anyone can do it, and you'll never stop making mistakes because you'll never stop learning.

The “Im not a teacher” guys always make for great lectures

Joey needs to make a separate channel for teaching Japanese

My Japanese professor was the one that wrote those books I see the students with. When she was teaching kanji, she said exactly what Joey said. Knowing the meaning will save you so much down the road via context. I use Kanji to help me learn Korean. Once I hear the word, I can say, oh, that's this kanji (hanja in Korean) and guess what that person said. It has saved my life in so many conversations and tests, both Japanese and Korean.

The teacher’s feedback is very interesting to note because Joey’s “one-sided” teaching approach is probably influenced by his experience as a Youtuber who’d be more used to talking to a camera and reading comments rather than a continuous interaction with a live audience.

Joey would be the substitute teacher everyone loves in school

Joey as a teacher is so down to earth, the students can really relate

Japanese native here. Your class was very interesting. I never thought of "間に合わないかもしれない" as a double negative at all, but that interpretation is pretty understandable and so now I can imagine non-native speakers are confusing with these sentences. Good to know that.

The teacher got so impressed that he actually graded/regarded joey as an "Actual" teacher ready to teach students anytime which is why he gave actual pointers where he could improve. This made me realize that maybe, if a person likes what he's doing, it'll just go smoothly/naturally as if the job was meant for that person. Also, I hope to see more of these videos in the future.

As a Japanese teacher in Australia for the last 20 years, I can confidently say Joey did much better than most of the student teachers I have mentored.

i love the fact that you can tell joey didn't just "oh this is a fun video, I'll just wing it" but prepared something and actually gave them info to learn from that is very useful. you can tell because at the start the student were just "oh he's just a youtube" just by how they look at their notes and study on their own instead of listening (apart from that one girl that took an opportunity to ask that burning question she has) even the guy asked to go out take a bathroom break but when he returned and saw he's giving them this kanji lesson they were all attentive and want to learn that info.

I am fluent in Japanese but Joey got me hooked with his lesson for 21 minutes!

I love that he taught kanji theory and had a more practical approach to it. The only reason he didn’t get the 10 out of 10 was the absence of prep work that actual teachers have before class.
