8 Ways to Say "I" in Japanese | First Person Pronoun (Don't just use watashi)

Watch this video to learn 8 different first person pronouns in Japanese and other pronouns used within family members.

I've seen a lot of Japanese learners only using 私 {わたし | watashi} as their first person pronoun. But did you know that native Japanese speakers use more than 1 first person pronoun?

This video will focus on...
✅ What is the formality?
✅ Is it feminine? Masculine? Or gender neutral?
✅ How does it sound to Japanese people?

The pronouns introduced in this videos are...
🔸 私 {わたし | watashi}
🔸 あたし {atashi}
🔸 うち {uchi}
🔸 俺 {おれ | ore}
🔸 僕 {ぼく | boku}
🔸 自分 {じぶん | jibun}
🔸 私 {わたくし | watakushi}
🔸 Your own name and nickname
🔸 Family roles
