Strategies for success in Japanese and Japan
Loretta Scott is a successful entrepreneur who received her MBA from a prestigious Japanese university. She is also a wildly successful YouTuber through her KemushiChan channel on YouTube. She provides high-quality, informative videos that provide practical and actionable tips for learning Japanese, as well as dozens of real-life examples of Japanese in action around the country, to show students of Japanese worldwide how to have a richer experience while learning Japanese. Loretta is also the founder of two start-ups: KemushiChan LLC through which she provides a range of business, consulting and linguistic services; and Japanscholar, an entity through which she provides information and resources for people wishing to study in Japan, learn Japanese or participate in international scholarships.
In this interview, Loretta discusses some of the meta-learning strategies she has codified from her own journey in learning Japanese fluently. Such meta-learning tools help boost the speed and ease with which learners of Japanese can improve. She was a pioneer in using YouTube as an educational platform, and her many KemushiChan videos deliver fun and informative tips for success. Loretta also discusses the importance of being proficient in the Japanese language in order to make the most of one’s time in Japan and really get ahead.
As a self-proclaimed “start-up junkie”, Loretta also talks about her two start-ups, their roles, and some of the differences between start-ups and entrepreneurship in Japan compared to the USA. She also outlines how, nowadays, expertise in Japanese language is no longer enough to succeed maximally; one must bring other skills to the table, and be able to apply them in a Japanese-language context.
Many people around the world are eager to learn Japanese, to study in Japan, or to do business here. Loretta provides a myriad of ideas and stepping stones to achieve all of these. Above all else: she provides strategies for Japanese learners to build the tools they need to meet and interact with Japanese people. After all, as people, that is the major purpose of language, and one of the richest experiences one could ever have.
