🎉 I finally hit over 200,000 suscribers on TH-cam 🎉
I couldn't have come this far without your support. Thank you so much 💕
I actually started my channel because a few students reached out to me telling me that they couldn't afford Japanese lessons. My mum raised me alone and we were pretty poor so I really understood the struggle of not being able to afford lessons. So I wanted to create something that can help everyone learn Japanese for free.
Now thanks to Patreon and everyone's support I can proudly say I teach Japanese on TH-cam as my full-time job.
Becoming a Japanese teacher has always been my dream (besides being Sailor Moon and Pokemon trainer of course 😋) but being able to help so many people (200k people?!) is so much better than what I could have done in any other ways. So thank you so so much. I love you all ❤️❤️

TH-camチャンネル登録者が20万人を超えました🎉みんなのサポートなしではここまで来れませんでした。ありがとうございます💕
チャンネルを始めたきっかけは実は何人かの生徒さんに日本語のレッスンは高すぎて取れないと言われたことでした。母子家庭で育って、大分貧乏だったので、レッスンが高すぎて払えないという辛さは分かっていたので、誰でも無料で日本語が勉強できる何かを作りたかったんです。
今はPatreonとみんなのおかげで、胸を張ってTH-camで日本語を教えることが仕事だと言えます。
日本語を教えることは子供の頃からの夢でした（もちろんセーラームーンとポケモントレーナーになる夢もありましたけどw）が、こんなにたくさんの人（20万人?!）のお手伝いをできるのは、他のどんな機会よりも最高です。
だから本当にありがとうございます。みんな大好き❤️❤️
Thank you Sensei. Your teaching is really superb.. I am preparing for N5 exam.. Your videos are really helpful.. Thanks a lot for all your efforts..
それ、すごい！おめでとうございます！
THANK YOU SO MUCH
みさ先生ありがとございます。前のAbsolute Beginnerレソンとこのレソンは違いますか。
Thank YOU Misa! Really hope you reach 1, 2, 100 millon. You deserve the whole youtube population. TH-cam and the world itself is better because of people like you.
I accidentally changed my phone to Japanese... Glad I found this
ButterBagelGaming BAHAHA
How u accidentally go and do a thing like that
@@boltzydog527 don't worry about it
damn that’s genius
ButterB. I'm still curious
(Yoda voice) "As for today, Monday it is!"
Lol yup
今日は月曜日です
I remember It took me a bit to get used to but yoda helped a bit
Chuckled in his voice I did when read this message.
That's actually the reason Yoda talks like that.
It's Japanese word order more or less. So I heard.
@@alexakalennon Yeah they wanted to make him sound like an eastern mystic. The whole idea of the force is taken from I believe hinduism.
Yoda actually speaks in OSV which is object, subject, verb* word order Cheese (o) I (s) eat (v) Japanese is SOV I (s) cheese (O) eat (v) and english is SVO I (s) eat (v) cheese (O) so close but not definitely lol hoped this helped understanding Yoda better :]
Hears Japan doesn't have conjugations: YES THANK HEAVENS
10 seconds later: yo hold up
😆😆😆
If you're looking for no conjugations, Mandarin is a good choice.
Misa, thanks to your videos and lots of study, I was able to pass the JLPT N2. I still love watching these videos to review the fundamentals. You are helping so many people decipher the Japanese language. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication!
Congrats.
Good for you man nice
What other resources did you use? I am learning so I can get into the JET program and I want to get up to JLPT2.
What videos and playlist did you watch?
"Japanese tend to omit the subject"
English speakers: 🤯🤯🤯
Me, an Italian: * laughs in ellipsis, omitted subject pronouns and frasi nominali (where we omit the verb) *
Oddio ho trovato un italiano persino qua
Io che non mi aspettavo di venir scovata da altri italiani: 👁️👄👁️🇮🇹❤️
Sono d'accordo
actually japanese does that too:
"doko he?"
(Anata wa) doko he (ikimasuka)?
ciao amici
I just finished watching your absolute beginners playlist!!
So now I can recap everything with the new vids! Very excited!!
Me too! I'm looking forward to ghese remaster versions
Misa if your following this comment thread, please don't remove the older versions as your recreate them.
Also kinda crazy how fast 5 years have gone by. Around then was when I first started studying japanese and I remember the earlier some of the earlier videos and looking back is kinda a nostaliga trip, and I mean that in a good way :)
Hii. I started a month ago and i love her explanations, especially the way she repeats sentence structures, it gets drilled into the memory. Since you have finished the earlier beginner's course (I'm at lesson 11) , I'm curious about how far have you come with your lessons? And also what other supplements do you take in addition to TH-cam?
Congratulations to the 200k.
Best teacher deserves the best subscribers. (:
25 seconds in and I'm overwhelmed.
Japanese is one of the hardest language for an English speaker to learn. Stick with it.
It gets easier with time, just master your hiragana and katakana early and don't rush the kanji
@@tomparmenter8665 I'm Hungarian and because we create sentences the same as the Japanese people it's so much easier for me. Thank God!
Ohio gozaimasu
you're doing great!!! are you still studying japanese?
Thank you. I'm learning Japanese online and sometimes I don't understand why it is like it is. Your explanations have made me understand why it is like it is.
I actually started learning japanese about 10 months ago and came across two channels, one of which was yours. At first I thought it was impossible and wanted to give up a lot of times because I took it too seriously and stressed out too much, but then I thought of the lessons and how many japanese friends I made on VRC despite the fact that my japanese was horrible at that time. I thought "If I give up now it feels like I'm abandoning everything", now, 9-10 months later, I'm slowly working towards the N2 level.
Without your videos it would have been impossible, because I like studying in detail, so thanks a lot~
PS: For anyone else feeling stressed and slowly giving up, take a break for a day or two and come back to the topic you were stuck on. It will suddenly be much clearer. If you feel like you are improving too slowly, don't be shy and try to use japanese as much as possible. When you see japanese text, read it out loud. When you shower or clean and are thinking about things, try to think about it in japanese and afterwards look up the words or grammar that you didn't know. Don't just study randomly, study especially the things you need at the moment, it's much more efficient. And maybe think about becoming a patreon for extra content ;)
Any update? How is your japanese 3 years later? I'm just getting started.
@@TortoiseCashFlow Stopped learning according to JLPT standards after passing N2, learning according to my interests or on the fly now. Can have every day conversations without much difficulty and confident I could lead a simple lifestyle in japan.
Only thing I would struggle with is contracts due to the sheer amount of info on them and the way they're written etc, but with research and external help I'm also confident there.
Btw which is the second channel you mentioned? I'm trying to get as many recourses as I can ahah
@@lore_wa It's "Learn Japanese From Zero!" owned by a humorous american guy who is mostly fluent in Japanese, if not entirely, from what I've seen and heard. He's lived in Japan for several years in his life and his wife is also Japanese.
He backs all (or most at least) questions he answers (be it on forums or in videos/streams) through extra research to make sure his answers are as factual as possible, so I'd say he's credible for a learning resource.
Wow, that's so cool! I actually got a vr headset in hopes of meeting Japanese speakers and improving my Japanese, but after a few years, I've only met a few! I had to stop studying a year ago to focus more on my art course, but I want to try and pick it up again. Trying to find some motivation and figure out where to start, as I'm very lost atm 😂 It doesn't help that I was an absolute beginner, even when I stopped studying
Thank you Misa-san, my English is better than my Japanese but still learning both. I can improve both languages with you :) ありがとう
And btw I loved that intro so cool! Congrats for those 200k subs!! すごい！

Me too

Trying to learn from several different sources. So to find this young lady and her series of videos with her clear and concise explanations has been a very welcome revelation. Keep up the good work みさせんせい。
Hey Misa! I was wondering if you could ever do a review on some language learning apps? Like duolingo and other apps. their pros and cons, what you personally think of them, and a rating or something?
Agreed!
lingodeer
Duolingo gets a fat 0/10
@@SaneKoi13 h huh
@@tan_ori why?
What a great teacher!! Some of these phrases I already knew, but your explanations were very helpful in understanding the language further. I also didn't know about the omissions for everyday speaking. These are things I found to be lacking in other lessons. So I'm glad you make it important for learners to understand the nuances of the language instead of just giving word for word translations like I usually see. I believe this understanding will help me to communicate better. I will continue to learn from you! :>
Today is my first day ever on this journey and my searches for best "absolute beginner" courses pointed to you. I am not discouraged or overwhelmed anymore. Just commenting so I can look back in a few years!!
In that case, how is it going so far?
Yeah how is it going?
This is so easy to understand because 1) you're the perfect teacher
@oli mazzucco i printed out all the talktomeinkorean lessons and put them in a binder in order, and i also texted with people in korean. one thing i wish i did while learning was call people who speak korean, because i definitely lacked speaking practice. i hope you reach your goal, buddy:)
@@maja1677 Ohhh thats so smart!! I am definitely going to have to do those things! I never thought about calling or texting someone in another language.
@@graysonlyurs yay!! it def helps soo much!! having german friends has helped me a lot in my german language learning as well
I’m still working through the original “absolute beginner” playlist!! I’ll watch this one too though :)
Is it different?? I want to know so i watch both

おめでとうございます！🎉
I never knew 今日 was still said as こんにち during some events like weddings. それ、面白い。
Thank you so much for the good quality lessons, senpai. To show my gratitude in a little way, I won't skip ads to support you even more. お疲れ様でした、先輩。♥
OMG ! I thought it was too easy for me because I already learned this basic structure but you added so much details and nuances!! Thank you so much! So good job
I love your videos Misa, they are the best Japanese resource on TH-cam!
Ah. Your comments about “こんにちわ”made me laugh because misspelling is rampant in native English speakers as well. When people don’t know whether (weather) to use their, there, or they’re. I remind myself of this when I FREAK OUT about not wanting to make mistakes learning other languages. I would freeze speaking Spanish because I’d be so scared of conjugating something incorrectly 😳🤦🏻♀️ We should all relax and have fun! If we get too stressed about it, we won’t make any progress at all!
This video is so helpful. So glad I found this channel! It may just turn my marks around and help me pass my first semester of Japanese. ありがとうございまして。
Your tone change between Japanese and English is super cool👍
I am trying to learn Japanese for free, your videos really help me. Thanks your for teaching us who can't afford to pay. Your teaching videos are high quality and I am surprise they can be watched for free. The way you put color in texts is eye appealing and everything is easy to understand.
I would advise a mix of this and duolingo, duolingo will teach you the basic "writing" of hiragana, what is read as what and here you jave the grammar side
@@caldeira_a Thanks for the advice bro. I also use anki for grammar and vocab.
I came across your videos a couple of years ago, and without even wanting to learn Japanese, I subscribed simply because your lessons were really interesting. Because I've learned simple words and phrases from you over time, I recently decided to take the studying more seriously and commit to learning Japanese for real. Thank you for the inspiration and the ongoing lessons! I'll be waiting for the next beginner lesson!
how’s it going so far?
@@sic1809 Hey, thanks for asking! Long story short: I need to stop slacking and study more kanji. That's the biggest thing holding me back. Hiragana, katakana, and basic grammar and conversational phrases are not too much trouble anymore (I still get tripped up sometimes with easy things like when to use は and が ). I also immersed myself in Japanese media and look up words or phrases I hear that I feel like I should know, either because they're commonly used or they seem useful. That also helped me get used to hearing what the language sounds like so I can get the pitch accents correct.
But yeah, it's been a while since I've properly sat down and studied, so that needs to happen again soon, and I've got a bunch of Misa's videos in a playlist that are waiting for me. That moment when you hear or read something in Japanese and you're like, "Wait! I understood that!" is really satisfying and makes me want to keep going.
Good luck
love how in depth she goes ♡ none of the other videos ever explain, arigato gozaimasu :)
this is great shes going very slow for smooth brains like me, thank you
This is so good. I feel like I've learned more in your 40 minute video then I have in my last last 4 hours spent in Rocket Japanese. Thank you so much for your work!
The color coding and slow pronunciation is such a good help. Wonderful. Lead the way Misa
I will try to type in Japanese: おやすみなさい、みささま ！ 私はセリョガです。ロシア人です。ありがとうございます。Hope everything was understandable) Today was my first day in my local language school. I have been learning Japanese for 1.5 hour. What I was wanted to say: your lessons are very helpfull, keep doing this uneasy job of helping to us (newbie foreigners) to learn your language. You are the one of persons who inspired me for this step - it wasn't easy for me to make such decision. Thank you so much! I wish I could type much more in Japanese... And soon I will! I want to ask you: do you know Russian. And how well?
Nihon-go-sensei: Say: 'Pikatch is cute'
Me: Pikachu wa kowai desu.
Nihon-go-sensei: And... you failed.
Need another i on kowaii... you just said Pika is scary....
@@guitarsaremyfriendzzz7077 But that's the point of the joke?
@Nyan Catspread 7 months old...
I like how she gets real technical with the grammer rules. It's understanding the roots of the language
My friend recommended you to me, and I have to say I was a bit skeptical because I did watch a few videos on how to learn Japaneese, but your video was great, you started with just enough and I could understand everything. Im really glad this channel exists, and you deserve much more subscribers.
I thought about how wrong usages of particles [just for fun]: For example anime を miru = watch anime, anime が miru = the anime watch (something)? or anime に miru = makes no sense?
For me, it would be very interesting to know what a wrong particle does in the ears of a nativ japanese speaker. I mean if u understand why it's nonsense, you understand how it works. Perhaps could be worth for a own video, "Messing around with particles" :-)
i love how sweet she is, being worried it's too much or too difficult for us, you can see it's in her nature to be a good teacher
Don't worry your explanations are really clear and I'm learning a lot with these videos, thank you so much 🥰
Omg you explained it so nicely! thank you for being the only person who actually knows how to reach Japanese
Sentences with "kyou wa" have always confused me.. Thank you so much for the lesson, みさ先生‼︎
Im a japanese who had to grow up in the UK and didnt get to learn the language my parents spoke, with your help and good tutors at college I am now thriving and someday I want to be a great teacher like you!
You are the best japanese teacher :). ありがとうございます!
I agree!
Absolute best Japanese teacher on TH-cam!
There's beginner level and then there's noobs. Thank you for speaking dumb for us noobs...your content is rare and VERY appreciated. I understand more from the first small part of your video than all of the other videos for "beginners".
Hey there, I have some really simple and effective beginner lessons (also for noobs) on my channel if you ever wanted to check it out! Would be great to see you there and help you!
I love Misa’s videos so much. The way she explains every detail, uses colour coded Hiragana AND romaji, talks slowly, repeats everything in different ways, and her soothing voice. Ticks all my learning style boxes. Thank you Misa!
This was amazing! I’m so glad I found your channel it’s helping so much! I’ve tried using apps to help me learn Japanese but they don’t explain things as well as you did. ありがとうございます！^ ^
Misa you are an excellent teacher and the good thing is that you are giving the real way of speaking in Japan! :) さらに、あなたは見たり聞いたりするのがとても楽しいです!!後ろのぬいぐるみが楽しい!!
This was so helpful Ive been learning japanese for almost a year now and somehow out of all the books I've read I still havnt learned that the verb came last which is like really important so thank you
Thanks so much! I only know a tiny bit and use Duolingo mostly but I've learned so much from you in truly understanding particles. You're a great teacher.
Don't use duolingo for japanese you'll miss a ton
It's decent for practicing kana and maybe learning some Kanji but that's it
Yay grammar! Construction of languages, what they are, and used for are really interesting! Please keep up the grammar lessons!
Yaaaay! I'm so excited for this reboot! Just started seriously studying with Genki and these videos are such great supplements. Thank you Misa! :)
I'm a glad Spanish speaker. Having already nailed the sounds and subject omission makes me a happy Japanese student.
Misa sensei could you do more lesson explaining keigo? 🙏🏻 Congratulations for the 200 k subscribers and thank you for the amazing work!
"A lesson" ? Singular ? Lmao. Probably need like 30 lessons for keigo, at a minimum. And they better be long lessons as well. You can barely dip your toe in with one lesson. Furthermore, Misa's last video before this one actually *was* an introduction to keigo. Make sure to always check what's already on the channel, it was uploaded like 10 days ago.
Misa sensei is the best teacher ever!! I’m so glad I found your videos, thank you, thank you!
This is incredible. I'm so happy that I've come across your videos. I can't wait for more! 🌈🥳
I really like your teaching! You don't make me feel stressed and you explain things really well. Thanks for the video 😊
This channel is very good I'm glad that I found it
Great job, Misa. Wish you were my teacher in 1996 when I first came to Japan. Never had this type of explanation when I was at the university. (No one every explained "Watashi wa", and the misuse/overuse.) Keep it up...
Best language teacher Ive ever had. Very much like Vera birkenbiehl. Approaching by understanding the vocab in its original meaning and listening.
Congrats on 200k. And recapping the particles is always really helpful. Arigatou sensei :)
i'm in 1 month of studying Nihongo, this channel, by far, is one of the best refresher/reviewer. Arigatou Misa!
This is the best first Japanese first lesson I've seen so far. Exactly what I needed at this verry moment.
I am so glad whenever I see your classes. They are so helpful and a lot easier to understand than a lot of other Japanese classes I've had.
Wow! This is so great! If you are doing them all over please don't forget #32 which was a huge verb review but has since gone. All your supporters are so excited. Thanks.
I like the literal translations. Very helpful.
Great work. Thank you
i realize this is an older post, but it was like a door opened and suddenly weeks of studying became clear as a bell... Kudo's to Misa!
みさ先生 we love you
more than you love ピカチュウ！
😄🥰🤗
Thank you for making this Japanese lesson! I am a beginner in learning Japanese and I want to eventually become fluent. Your videos are very informational on learning Japanese, I used to spell Hello in Japanese as 「こんにちわ」 but now I know it’s 「こんにちは」! ありがとう
So Japanese gamers say yoroshiku instead of glhf, lol. On a more serious note, I've been learning Japanese for 4 months now and your channel is the first one I've discovered that feels like it covers every topic fully.
Thank you for being so patient, you must be the best Japanese teacher on TH-cam, very peaceful & calm voice and so cute!
Misa-san wa kawaii desu 😅
I just came across your channel, and I love how you explain everything in detail and where the illusion expressions come.from to make it more logical for people who are just learning Japanese and couldn't possibly draw these connections. Thank you so much!! ❤
Misa sensei, congratulations on hitting 200,000 subscribers! As one who is just starting to study Japanese, I want to thank you for creating and sharing your excellent lessons. ありがとうございます。
thank you misa-sama, you have provided the easiest way to understand the Japanese language for English speakers by translating what you know about Japanese sentence structure vs English sentence structure
i've finished this. today marks the day that i start learning japanese for real! its 19:32, 31 january 2022. がんばれー
The "As for __, it is __" is so helpful!
Your channel is the best on TH-cam. THANK YOU!
11:09 at this time i realised it was actually Monday while i was watching this lol
Thank you! Amazing video, I may be studying abroad in Japan in the Sring so this is supper cool to hear.
Congratulations on 200k subscribers ! Thank you you for making a difference I our lives and devoting so much of your time to teach us Japanese! ありがとうございます🙏
Firstly thank you Misa sensei for this absolute beginners lesson! I stumbled upon your channel as I was searching to learn Japanese and looks like this is the channel I wanna go forward in learning Japanese. Your detailed explanation and teachings are on point. Most definitely learnt a lot from this 1 video alone. Can't wait to watch the next one. Keep up the good work! U are doing great! U have my support 👍🏼
I heard some japanese several times and I kind of figured out wa is used after a subject and wo is after an object, and this video clarified everything for me, and tbh japanese is way easier than english (only speaking wise xD), cause oh god those kanji, and english is much harder to pronounce the words ( you have to hear them first) and a lot of times english just doesn't make sense.
ありがとうせんせい
Very helpful. I like the use of colors to distinguish words.
こんにちは. This is the best video I've watched to get going on the language. Other things I've tried so far have just told you how to say things, not why you say them. Thank you
Love the new intro! ❤️
lmoee same here! 🙂
You blew my mind a bit with that こんにちは being 今日は。I've learned those kanji before but the reading didn't click in my mind. A short google search says its more common to write the greeting in hiragana so it doesn't confuse people.
Omg! I am so thankful I stumbled upon your Japanese Ammo website and Videos. Your website and videos made me understand sentence construction more when I was having a hard time self studying!
everytime you speak in japanese, you sound like a japanese google translator! But overall your teachings are great! Thank you for it!🙂
This was such a clear and easy to follow video, and I appreciate all the hard work that goes into the on screen writing, with all the different elements clearly pointed out so you can follow along. I loved finding out the origin of konnichiwa as well because it was interesting as well as useful in remembering to use ha not wa. I look forward to watching more videos from the archive as I improve. Arigato gozaimasu!
I look forward to this series :D You make learning Japanese seem so easy! I know it takes a lot of work, but you give me confidence
The subtitles are super helpful for understanding which vocab words are connected!
I thought I already knew this subject but you explained it in such a good way that just kinda clicked, like my brain went from kinda understanding to fully understanding! Thank you!
I thought you already covered both of these like 2 years ago. I remember because it was like the second video I saw after discovering your channel
Misa your absolutely a great teacher you have helped me in just one lesson I’m going to keep watching all of your videos and hope I will soon understand how to talk in Japanese thank you so much!
This is EXACTLY what i was looking for! Vocabulary vs pure translation, thank you! i hope to succeed following your videos! it helps to know parts of speech and reasoning.
わたしはアメリカ人です。Your channel is amazing - thank you for making these videos!
Wow! Started trying to learn Japanese last week and quite pleased with myself for learning the basic hiragana. Then I find your beginner lesson and…….my head hurts already🙂 But I think I’ve found a good teacher - all the comments say so- so I’ll stick with you and hopefully I’ll make progress. Thank you for these lessons.
learning japanese is more motivating when your teacher is you crush
Thank you for making this video.
Certain things like こんにちは being spelled with the HA, a foreigner may not even realize is wrong because I have seen a app teach it wrong with the WA before and it really wasn't something I thought about.
This is why it is much better learning from someone like yourself.
Everything so well explained, thank you Misa
Wow thank you so much Misa you’re the best japanese teacher i love you 💕
Misa-sensei, here you answered a doubt I had for FIFTEEN YEARS, on こんにちは vs こんにちわ. ありがとうございました！
Just found your channel, you are such a good teacher! I learn a lot even in a 10 mins. Slow and clear and your English is absolutely brilliant!
