I'm in my second year of Japanese, and from my teachings I've learned two things that I'd like to share. "Wo" is typically pronounced more like "o" when we use it, and "anata" should typically be used between people who know each other (well) or else it may come off as rude. Hope to see even more content from this channel, because I'll be sharing it with my friends!!!
Hou Brainoxious I think it's to make it more obvious that she's doing it to make i more understandable like how they spell は as "wa" when cause it sound like that when it's a particle.
This. For a beginner video, most people cant read hiragana yet. So there's no point to explain that を can be pronounced as "o" in this case. But to be honest, Japanese isn't very strict here. You can pronounce を like "wo" when used as an object marker. Actually, I often hear songs pronounce it like "wo" because it sounds better. In everyday speech, people use "o" because they think that sounds better, but no one's going to correct you if you use "wo" unless you're like in a classroom.
am I the only one who started crying after watching this video how will I ever learn japanese, when I know no one, and this info is confusing I have to translate kanji to romaji, romaji to english, english to norwegian, norwegian *cries*
Thank you so much! I've been jumping into japanese, and when I look closely, you're right! I should think of it as new way of communication, which sounds very interesting.
The style of teaching in your japanese language videos is absolutely amazing. Seriously the best japanese videos I have seen. really good logical flow and nice explanations. thank you.
I've been learning Japanese for a while but this is a different approach to any I've seen before - beginning with grammar and illustrating it with clips from dramas. My understanding of Japanese grammar is still pretty poor, and I would like to be able to watch drama in Japanese, so I think this is great!
Can't believe I'm just now finding this! Seriously helpful content on Japanese! Anything, grammatically, you haven't been understanding very well is given a real world example while teaching you a few new words. Thanks so much! :3
Here is a tip : show more than one person use a sentence or phrase. Like what you did with the first drama clip, if you could of added another clip of a different person saying the same thing in the same context it would help people recognize the phrase better. Hearing multiple voices of the same thing helps the brain catch on to the vocab a lot quicker. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Mind...blown!.... Thank you so much for breaking this up the way you did!!! I loke your explanations about context too (as it's quite hard to grasp without encountering the tight "situations") I love the different mediums you use to explain things too. Thank you!!
Great video, 1 SMALL REQUEST please make your TH-cam channel more organized by creating Playlist for the various vides/lessons you guys have, I have no interested in chines or anything else besides the Japanese Grammer series. THANKS! And keep up the good work👊
thank you so much for the explaination!! its simple and really easy to understand, using clips from japanese media is a great way to teach too! thank you!
this helped me a lot thank you so much! you don't upload videos anymore, so i hope you do well (maybe you have moved i'll inform myself) and thanks for the hard work you put into your videos to try to explain it in an easy way.
on 2:00 you say "changing the stem of the word" isnt it rather the ending that changes? the stem "tabe" stays the same in both politness levels, correct?
Japanese reminds me of Spanish in some ways; mainly the grammar. Both have formal and informal tenses and neither require a subject if it is contextually evident.
It's pretty different. In Japanese you don't conjugate the verbs like you would in Spanish and in Japanese there are different levels of politeness whereas in Spanish there's just formal and informal. You only have two options. And believe it or not, English and Spanish grammar are very VERY similar. I speak, read, and write both languages fluently but English is my strongest language.
All languages have a lot of similarities. Even languages that were formed in complete isolation have a lot in common with modern languages. But it's good to look for these similarities if it helps you learn a new language.
I thought this video was helpful in learning the basics. Please continue providing more videos like this to beginners. It kept me well engaged and I wanted more.
there was one variation in the examples that im interested in, オレンジを食べない？ it says would you like to eat oranges? 1. does that mean オレンジ can also be the plural form? 2. can it also be translated into " are you not going to eat the orange?" or "do you not eat oranges?" ------ next would オレンジを食べる？ mean "do you eat oranges?" or "do you want to eat an orange?" thanks for the vids and pardon me for the questions, I just dont want to have any loose ends going into the basic building blocks of japanese
Hi! There's no plural form, meaning that plurality is implied. In English, there's an orange and there are oranges, but in Japanese, there is just オレンジ. In English, "you're not eating oranges?" can imply the question "Why aren't you eating oranges?" In Japanese, this isn't the case, so this wouldn't be a proper translation. This is simply an offer of "would you like oranges." This is going to be true for many Japanese translations, that you can't just directly try to translate it.
thank you for the reply. it seems it will be a bit hard to remove the habit of dirctly translating it because of the tendency to analyze every little part of the sentence.. when ever I see the -nai added onto a verb it always feels like saying "is not" or "will not".
So how is the "wo" marker actually pronounced. When it was first introduced the female voice said "wo", but when the male voice said the next full sentence it was voiced as "o".
I think Japanese looks like turkish and Persian combined. Although I hate turkish and I learned a little Persian from my friends but it seems has benefited me. Thanks guys
I am a 13 year old American female who has been practicing basic phrases and just phrases in general. I am going to definitely use these lessons to brush up on my grammar, and hopefully learn more and more over the years. I used to watch anime a lot when I was younger but I did not pick up as much as people would expect so I am taking the challenge of learning it at an earlier age than most I guess ^^
What is the man saying at 5:00 ? I'm not sure, it sounds somehow like: 僕の永遠になって下さい。boku no eien ni natte kudasai. And isn't it more polite to use 君 (kimi) instead of あなた (anata)?
He says: 僕の親に会ってください (Please meet my parents) which is basically a marriage proposal. あなた (anata) is more polite than 君 (kimi). Earlier in this episode he uses 君 (kimi) with someone else's wife and people look at him very strange because it's too casual.
Hi nice videos , do you know where can i learn kanji? I already know ひらがな and カタカナ but I don't know how to write kanji with the to versions ON reading and Kun reading. Thanks 😄😄😄
oh ok thank you so much, i will try it, i found a web site where you can type the kanji or the thing in English and it will show the kanji and the stroke order jisho.org/ this is the page.
I mostly learned from android apps until recently when I really noticed that the biggest drawback is just vocabulary... no it's not the kanji, it's the damn vocabulary and the fact that you don't always hear the structure/understand what they are saying in movies etc. That being said, if you learn it from loli anime you may have a very long road ahead.
Hi professor me again, when demonstrating to us the "shi sen wo kanjiru" why are the characters shaped differently, the ones in parenthesis? At the 4:55 mark. Thank you.
+Ad Hominem the first ones are in kanji, the ones in parenthesis in hiragana. So they are basically a guide to how pronounce the kanjis. Haven't you learned katakana and hiragana yet? If not, do it. It will help you a lot ;)
+kira is bored I wished I learned by now but this is my first time learning anything Japanese so I'm an uber noob. I know that Chinese has two dialects Mandarin and Cantonese so I'm guessing that Kanji and Katakana and Hiragana are different dialects; Hiragana are the loaned words from Chinese? Thank you and excuse the questions. :) :)
Ad Hominem they are not really dialects but alphabets :) in hiragana and katakana one symbol means one sound (e.g. わ (Hiragana) = wa; ワ (Katakana) = wa). In most of the japanese sentences you can find all three alphabets (katakana, hiragana, kanji). Kanjis are used for most nouns, japanese names and verbs (e.g. 私 = watashi, meaning I). Hiragana is used for the verbs endings in the different time terms (e.g. 食べる = taberu, meaning eat/I eat/you eat/...) as well as some other things like を (wo) that you put after some nouns/ names to indicate that you are talking about it (just like は (pronounced wa in this context but is actually a ha)). Katakana however is used for foreign words and names. Pancake for example is written in katakana: パンケーキ (pankeeki) So let's make a sentence: 私はパンケーキが食べる (I eat pancakes. But I can't guarentee you that this written correctly, sorry) You see you need all three alphabets to properly learn japanese. But don't worry, hiragana and katakana are quite easy to learn. It only gets hard when you're trying to learn the 40,000 kanjis there are. I hope this helped :)
I'm in my second year of Japanese, and from my teachings I've learned two things that I'd like to share. "Wo" is typically pronounced more like "o" when we use it, and "anata" should typically be used between people who know each other (well) or else it may come off as rude.

i cant wait to fully learn this language!!
emiiee cx what have you learned in japanese so far?
did you continue or give up ,yikes
ewww k-pop gayyy
“Ewww K-Pop gay”
1. K-pop is Korean and not Japanese (Korean-Pop)
2. How is it gay?
how is Kpop gay its a music genre if you don’t enjoy that’s fine but calling it “gay” is stupid
the fact that they don't explain that を is pronounced like お is a little unsettling cause it's very simple thing to remember.
Yeah She's probably a native speaker but it annots me that she says wo and not o
Maybe it's another accent
Hou Brainoxious I think it's to make it more obvious that she's doing it to make i more understandable like how they spell は as "wa" when cause it sound like that when it's a particle.
ToastyInspiration™ Maybe to not make it seem complicated from the beginning
Hou Brainoxious yea

That's it. This video gave me motivation. I'm starting Japanese now.
on 2:00 you say "changing the stem of the word" isnt it rather the ending that changes?
the stem "tabe" stays the same in both politness levels, correct?
I was thinking the same thing.
FredDoes3D you are correct. It is not "stem". The correct term is "conjugation".
Gotta love the fact that my weeb years made this easier for me.
thank you very much for the explaination
I wish this dude still uploaded
This video really helped because I was watching akb48 trying to find people to speak English it and half of the things they said was from this video.
I wish these kind of videos existed when I started studying
awesome video, very straight to the point without any unnecessary ramblings..u got my like and subscription! looking forward to see mor video!

You can try the TenguGo Kanji mobile app or try Wani Kani....
Emile 117 try TOFUGU it's VERY easy and it gives u exercises and learning techniques! U should really try it! It's a website btw
oh ok thank you so much, i will try it, i found a web site where you can type the kanji or the thing in English and it will show the kanji and the stroke order jisho.org/ this is the page.
Wani Kani is the best!!! Only been doing it for about 2 months and I already know some 200+ kanji
Am I the only here just so I can learn Japanese due to my love for anime and manga?
You are not the only one. But for me, I also like their culture y'know..
I want to move to japan. I do like anime and mange too though X)

What is the difference between the object markers such as wo を and wa わ？Is one used for people and the other for objects?
