I think it's really good what you do. So I can ask questions about how to talk in Japanese and you will try to answer them. Fantastic. I really like this. Does no and koto make parts of language into an English gerund noun? Verbs ending in -ing like your example swimming are known as (the subject of grammar that some people don't like to waste too much time with) gerund nouns when they function as a noun.
Hi, Hiroko!!!! It's good to see you in videos again. When I started learning Japanese 4 years ago, you were one of the first people I saw on Japanese Pod 101's TH-cam channel. I still remember those first lessons. 今、日本語を書く。(^_^)
These are alot more helpful than alot of the stuff on Japanese pod 101. please continue and expand these typs of videos with Hiroko! Plus she sounds more native in speaking and describing things more clearly. Been learning for years and i still have a few hurdles kinda keeping me from becoming fluent at a quicker pace. Perhaps even do lessons to help people become fluent. even immersive ideas that may help alot.
yesjapan.com/YJ6/question/1382/why-do-you-use-watashi-niwa-instead-of-watashi-wa "niwa" is "ni"(indicates a place where something/someone exists, gathers or takes place.) + "wa"(topic maker) (わたし は) みせにいきます - (I) go to shop (わたし は) みせにはいきます (I) go to shop In practice, this is really no different than the normal use.

(Please note I'm learning too, but I'll do my best) you know... like English. a single word can mean many things. Kanji are like pictures ie; I'm gay means 1) I'm happy OR 2) I'm homosexual So, to differentiate these you may put a picture (kanji) of a smiling face, or a picture of somebody who's homosexual in the sentence. You may write everything in normal words (Hiragana) but adding a picture (Kanji) really helps to send the true message

I really like italki & the rest. But i wld appreciate if it can be taught with ROMANIZED TRANSLATION. I am only a 1ST BASIC LEARNER & I HOPE Someone can teach me how to use IPOD 101 FREE JAPANESE LESSON. DOMO ARIGATOO GOZAIMASU
The video is not an absolute beginner stuff so there is no need to use romaji. If you want to learn Japanese, you'll need to learn kana eventually (the sooner the better, so why not as a start? It shouldn't take much time). がんばって！
As my teacher said, 知りません has a nuance of "I am not supposed to know", so it is considered rude in some situations, especially when you are talking with your superiors. However, Japanese sometimes use 知らない/知りません, but usually only with friends and in cases like "I don't know the person/place/thing". (For example, something like ねね、ゆずって 知ってる？ ううん、知らない。Actually, in this kind of situation, the person almost certain that you don't know, and it is safe to say 知らない. Another example, when you ask for some explanation and hear something that you wasn't expecting then I heard people saying そうですか、ぜんぜん 知りませんでした。)

Sensei, how do you use には? Thanks.
yesjapan.com/YJ6/question/1382/why-do-you-use-watashi-niwa-instead-of-watashi-wa
"niwa" is "ni"(indicates a place where something/someone exists, gathers or takes place.) + "wa"(topic maker)
(わたし は) みせにいきます - (I) go to shop
(わたし は) みせにはいきます (I) go to shop
In practice, this is really no different than the normal use.
Hi Gary Coronado,

Let me show you some examples of using には below;
あなたの 傘は ここに ない。
=Your umbrella is not here.
⇔
あなたの 傘は ここには ない。
=Your umbrella is not here. (but somewhere else.)
ドアを あけるには かぎを つかいます。
=To open the door, use the key.

example given are quite confusing since "no" is also with "koto" or at least give more a spot on explanation for it.
How would you say "I heard what my friends were talking about."?
But why is the sentence わたしは花をそだてるのが好きです。possible? It ends with です, but it is mentioned in a grammar lesson, in my Japanese book, to be correct.
what is the differences between "nihon ni iku koto ga suki desu" and "nihon ni iku ga suki desu"
In the video it says that KOTO is to be used when the sentence ends in DESU. But in an earlier example in the video, there was the sentence Oyogu NO ga suki DESU.

when to use は and when to use が？
(Please note I'm learning too, but I'll do my best)
は is used when we're explaining about the subject, while が while explaining about the object.
i.e ; わたし は せいと です
；わたし は たいいく が すきです
Japanese uses "Subject,Object,Verb" sequence
Hi Apurva Naik,
Thank you for posting.
I guess what confuses you is that both は and が come after a subject.
Especially が empathizes a subject.
For example,
Shigoto wa nan desuka? = What do you do?
Watashi wa(わ) sensei desu. = I am a teacher.
In this case, "sensei" is an answer and the subject "watashi" is less important.
Sometimes "watashi wa" is skipped as it's not important and obvious, and you can just say "sensei desu".
Dare ga sensei desuka? = Who is a teacher?
Watashi ga(が) sensei desu. = I am the teacher.
In this case, the subject "watashi" is an answer and the morst important.
Also が sometimes comes after an object.
Hope this helps you.

sensei, why is japanese use hiragana and kanji in the same time .... every japanese word in the anime movie i've always see them... like hiragana on the top and kanji below it.. can u explain it to me...
This is for those who cant read the kanji they use
(Please note I'm learning too, but I'll do my best)
you know... like English. a single word can mean many things. Kanji are like pictures
ie; I'm gay means
1) I'm happy OR
2) I'm homosexual
So, to differentiate these you may put a picture (kanji) of a smiling face, or a picture of somebody who's homosexual in the sentence. You may write everything in normal words (Hiragana) but adding a picture (Kanji) really helps to send the true message
its just so you know how to read it. nothing more

I really like italki & the rest. But i wld appreciate if it can be taught with ROMANIZED TRANSLATION. I am only a 1ST BASIC LEARNER & I HOPE Someone can teach me how to use IPOD 101 FREE JAPANESE LESSON. DOMO ARIGATOO GOZAIMASU
The video is not an absolute beginner stuff so there is no need to use romaji. If you want to learn Japanese, you'll need to learn kana eventually (the sooner the better, so why not as a start? It shouldn't take much time).

I prefer the shamisen myself.

Japanese is difficult. 日本語は難しいけど、外国人からしたら日本語は難しいのかな？

外国人による。英語を話す者なら日本語は難しいかもしない、日本語は英語に比べたらとても違い言語だから。でも韓国人なら日本語は易しい

Why japanese people say 分かりません/分からない/分かんない when they don't KNOW and no use 知りません/知らない ? :o
As my teacher said, 知りません has a nuance of "I am not supposed to know", so it is considered rude in some situations, especially when you are talking with your superiors. However, Japanese sometimes use 知らない/知りません, but usually only with friends and in cases like "I don't know the person/place/thing". (For example, something like ねね、ゆずって 知ってる？ ううん、知らない。Actually, in this kind of situation, the person almost certain that you don't know, and it is safe to say 知らない. Another example, when you ask for some explanation and hear something that you wasn't expecting then I heard people saying そうですか、ぜんぜん 知りませんでした。)
