About Me 🙂
Originally born in India, I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. I started learning Japanese at the age of 13 and have been teaching myself for 7+ years. I speak English, Japanese, and Telugu. I graduated from UC Berkeley Haas with a degree in business administration in hopes of connecting Japan and the U.S. through business.  
I was working at Amazon in California and then moved to Tokyo to be the marketing lead at Woodstock.club. I recently shifted to being a full-time content creator as I start my business! I also love dogs and running hehe

日本語を8年間独学で勉強しているインド出身のアメリカ人。サンフランシスコ在住。英語、日本語、テルグ語を話せる。UC Berkeleyビジネス専攻(Haas)を卒業後、マーケティング部署でAmazonに入社。アメリカと日本をビジネスで繋げていきたいという想いで、最初の一歩として日本に引っ越して、日本のfintechスタートアップWoodstock.clubで働いてから、現在クリエイターとして活動。犬と走るのが好きです!

  1. I would recommend working through genki 1 and 2 before trying to “fully immerse”. Only because being surrounded by a language you can’t understand well is very mentally tiring. What do you think?

  2. This video speaks to me on so many levels 😭 esp the plateau – that’s where I’m at now + losing sight of why I started learning Japanese in the first place. Hope to try HelloTalk and a few of the other apps you mentioned. I’m nowhere close to being super fluent but taking baby steps!
    色々説明してくれてありがとうございました!

  3. hey Anaya, what dramas and shows have you personally watched to help with your Japanese learning? would love to implement them in my studies as well, thank you!

  4. 한국인인데 인터뷰에서 일본어 네이티브 급으로 하는거 보고 놀람.. 진짜 일본인보다 더 자연스럽게 하는 비결이 궁금해서 구독합니다👍👍

  5. Ooh well… obviously if i pick all, i might even consider myself de@d dead before anything… thanks for that line at the end, because it practically impractical for me to follow in the same footsteps as yours but obviously i can have some takeaways from this… because obviously mine and your motives are different, and me and you are different, idk why but sometimes it takes some time to let that sink in… huh!

  6. 私自身英語は全く問題なく話せるのですが、今全く別の言語を勉強しています。英語はそれこそ学校の授業で苦手でも何となく文法や単語は入ってきていたので、何もないところから、文字通りゼロから勉強するにはどうしたら良いかなと思っていたところでだいじろーさんの動画にアナンヤさんが出演されているのを見ました。
    ホントに何もないところからここまで流暢に日本語を話されるまでになるんだと思いました。外国語の勉強方法の参考にさせていただきます🙇

  7. I’m Japanese who’s studying at graduate school in San Francisco.

    日本語が上手すぎることは言わずもがなとして、英語の発音もものすごくクリアで、一言一句正確に聞き取れるので、英語学習教材として活用しています。アナンヤさんの動画で毎日シャドーウィングしてます!おかげでスピーキングもだいぶ上達しました。
    でも、アナンヤさんの英語は完璧に理解できるのに、他のネイティブの方の英語はまだまだ苦戦中…

  8. Dear, You're Japanese is kinda impressive that shocks ppl.
    But I have a question, is pitch accent really important? And did you focused on pitch? Can you just replay me on make a video about bcs I'm able upto n3 Japanese. But I didn't knew this pitch accent did existed so what can I do to sound natural.?
    You have helped me so much❤

  9. I started learning Japanese few months ago, and I truly admire anyone who has self-studied and reached fluency in this incredibly beautiful language. Well-done!

  10. Watching this entire thing is my toxic trait.

    Skilllshare ad snuck in here, F.

    All your talking points are so regurgitated by other people. No need to even make this video.

    インド系アメリカ人として、見る価値がない。利益と名声のために上達したい人々を騙すあなたの能力はひどい。

  11. Hi, thank u for sharing this video it was very helpful. Please upload more if you can/want to, that would be awesome as I am always seeking the best tips for learning Japanese. I wish to become as fluent as a Japanese but I don't know if that is achievable in a year. I do regret not taking this language more seriously when I was a teen as I would have been ahead but I geuss it is not too late. Anyways thank you for sharing this video😊
