Wow I'm so glad the youtube algorithm sent me here! This is fantastic. I'm just beginning my journey into Japanese. I've got the genki books but was a bit daunted as I've heard they are better in a classroom setting. This makes it more accessible for me.
Wa- marks the topic Ka- marks the whole sentence as a question No- give more information (possesive) . .. -nounA+ no+ noun B(A= added info, B=Main item)(A=Owner, B=Item)
I took japanese for 4 years in college and taught English in Japan but since then I feel my japanese has really gone down and I want to teach in Japan again, so imagine my joy finding this! The genki books are what my professor used and this is such a good way to re learn what I already learned
OMG finally a good channel for japanese.. You don't put the roman version or sumn for the japanese characters, you literally let us get used to reading the characters which is what I was looking for thank you so much! Much love ❤
Trying to study out of a textbook by myself really made me appreciate a thing I always kinda took for granted when i was in school: Having someone with knowledge on the subject explain and give additional context to the topics at hand. Really appreciate this kinda content for my own studying purposes, even just going over something that I'm pretty sure I already got down is really helpful
I saw these videos as you were uploading them in real time but I kept putting them off. Now my wife wants to take a trip to Japan in two years so I’m finally delving into the genki books I’ve owned for 10+ years and never used. This will be day 1! Wish me luck everyone!
Actually i don't have a genki book, because i don't have money for that, but this is helping me soooooo much im taking notes and trying to remember it. THANK YOU! 💚
@@mendozacarlosfelipew.3055 As far as I know, Genkis are protected by copyright. Ofc it depends on country to country, but in some places (e.g. Japan) piracy is strongly prohibited, and you easily can get in jail
あ！アメリカ人です！ありがとおう、先生。 Thanks for the video! My winter break starts in a day, and I want to study over it with the time it gives me. This channel is invaluable!
I love this, you're a really great teacher! I'm taking JP11 this semester and, although my professor is trying her best, I just can't follow her lessons because it's structured in such a strange way and she's not the best speaker. I'm glad I stumbled upon this channel that explains everything thoroughly. ありがとうございます！
WHAT A LIFE SAVER! I need to learn Japanese as soon as possible and this made me make it possible! Thank you for making contents like this! Thanks also to a person who recommended you❤️❤️❤️
僕はドイツ人です！Im really thankful that i have found your Chanel. I have been thinking about buying the genki books for a while now, but since its a lot of money I was happy to find your videos. ありがとうございます。
I had started trying to learn Japanese and year ago, and recently my friend has remotivated me to learn it with her so we can go visit Japan or possibly go to school there. This is super helpful, even as a complete beginner. Thank you so much. 私はアメリカ人です。ありがとごさいます！
私はイエメン人です I just got my Genki 1 (3rd Edition) book few days ago, and I’m on Lesson 1 now. I love how you use examples beyond the book to help us expand our vocabulary! I’m so excited to follow along with your playlist. I really appreciate your hard work! ありがとう
I am so so so grateful I have found your account!! I just started my Japanese university class 3 weeks ago. I've memorized Hiragana for the most part, and I've been so confused in class when it came to grammer. I've been searching youtube for help and never found an account that truly helped me till today!! The way you explain things is so simple but also complex and easy to understand. I am gonna be binge watching your videos haha. I am so excited to progress and learn more. Seriously this saved me so much time and energy trying to study something I just couldn't grasp on my own. ありがとうございます
私はアメリカ人です! I've been obsessed with Japanese culture, and learning the language for some time now, but since Duolingo is not teaching me well I turned to TH-cam! Thank you so much for this amazing recourse!
I've been slowly learning basic japanese, and I decided to order genki but its just been sitting for a few months now. im glad i discovered your videos because i feel it will really help speed up my learning. its hard for me to just dedicate time to self study, but effectively having someone walk through this with me is going to help a ton.
Hi Andy! I went back to this video just to tell you that I passed the Japanese NAT test 5Q thanks to your videos. The verb conjgations were too much until you discussed the whole ichidan and godan verbs and it helped a lot. Soon, I will be taking JLPT N4 which is why I am binge watching your videos again. Thank you so much for all your videos!
I’m going back through and refreshing my Japanese and I remembered a great tip about の! I was told to think of it as an apostrophe: ex. Andy’s Phone/ Kindergarten’s teacher. It helps with placing it if you have trouble!
i'm finding the best approach so far is 1: learn hiragana/katana, 2: learn basic grammar rules, 3: watch japanese entertainment with japanese subs and hiragana subs at the same time, put on google translate what you don't understand, break down the sentence into its words and translate. hand-write kanji occasionally with words you know you won't remember. 4: read. Write some more. 5: (optional:) Go to Japan for a couple weeks and pick up some conversational skills. 6: continue enjoying Japanese entertainment!
@@UnpopularFeed I am now able to take a more relaxed approach to learning and still benefit. But the best way to learn by far I think is watching anime with Japanese subs
I’ve just started following you and your lessons. I have been self studying for about two years and all of things you’re explaining make more sense to me now. I appreciate all the hard work you’ve done to make this for understandable and easier for me. ありがとうございます、先生。
ToKini Andy has outgrown Patreon. There is so much premium content now, that we decided to move (there were other reasons too). You can now access our premium course material at: www.tokiniandy.com/ edit: 5/19/2021
Love the pacing and how you explain everything. This definitely feels like a great place to start after learning hiragana and katakana! Thank you for your efforts sensei 😁
It's funny how I didn't know why Japanese had two different words for teacher and now I know, even though it makes sense haha. Like talking about your own family members and other people's family members... I've been in a bit of a slump with Japanese and I'm glad I found these videos. I can listen to them while looking at my Genki books and hop about to different lessons depending on what I am studying at the time. Thanks a lot. :)
I know I'm 4 years late but just starting my journey. Your videos have been invaluable thus far, and I'm now getting stuck into Genki! Appreciate all the content, Andi-sensei!
There is so much that I like about how you are teaching Japanese. I like how you teach the literal translation, the formalities and informalities of Japanese, cultural differences. You make it very easy for me to understand I have basic Japanese on lock I think your teachings can take me to the next level. Thank you !
Hi ! I have just started learning Japanese after purchasing Genki 1 and workbook . I am so pleased to have discovered your TH-cam site , especially the videos that accompany the Genki 1 lessons. As I am studying at home by myself , your videos are really helpful. Thanks for all the work you put into helping others learn this beautiful language. Many Thanks
2:27 Oh my goodness, literally sitting down with a banana and soymilk on a Sunday afternoon starting on Genki. Love the editing so far. Watching at 0.75 speed and it's perfect. Also bought Japanese from Zero book one, so I'll be comparing the two courses as I go along. I already know he is more off the cuff and willing to go on tangents, which I tend to not like!!
So glad I found your channel. I’ve been studying Japanese and having the hardest time understanding の and わ. You’re great at simplifying this material.
Wow that Sensei portion was very fascinating! I had no idea but after thinking about it and the anime I’ve watched, it totally makes sense. Thanks for a subtle detail about Japanese etiquette
Thanks for offering these lessons! Have been self-teaching to prepare for a visit to Japan but nothing beats having good examples to start putting it all together. Thank you, again
Glad I found your channel!! During the lockdown, I started watching classic Japanese movies, and got interested in learning the language now. I'm fluent in Arabic and my Spanish is very rusty, but for some reason Japanese got my interest because of their different alphabets and grammar , a good challenge for my aging brain cells 😊 Thank you !!
I was learning japanese about 2-3 months, then stopped studying for some reasons. I haven't spoken Japanese for 1.5 years, but it's been 2-3 days since I got interested in this language again, and your video helps me a lot to learn. This is the first video I've watched so far. I will like all the videos I have seen. Thanks for this video.
You're a saint. I just learned kana and kind of hit a wall with my studying. Really needed some guided learning and these videos are exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Ripe bananas are definitely sweet with no tart or sour qualities that I associate with a lot of other fruits. I suppose unripened bananas taste starchy because less of the starch has been converted to sugars and they have a bit of that earthy slightly 渋い taste that most people don’t find all that pleasant but a ripe banana is definitely 甘い! Sorry for going off on that 🍌 tangent. 😊
my brain feels so full (in a good way) after this video. it was very helpful. I didn't know where to proceed after learning hiragana and katakana and someone suggested this video. thank you so much for making it.
I teach Japanese in Japanese. There are lots of learner using "Genki". I've interested in teaching Japanese in English. Your lesson is easy to understand and fun. I like it "No,no,no,no." 😂 私は日本語を日本語で教えています。げんきを使っている学習者さんは多いです。英語で教えるのはどういう感じかな？と思っていました。アンディさんのレッスンはわかりやすいし、楽しいです。「いや、いや、いや、いや。」が好き。😆
These lesson are honestly really great! My wife has been using them for a few months to go through genki and she really enjoys them. The only suggestion I have is making a "how to study with Genki" path video. A lot of beginners are excited to start but don't have a clear path on how they should proceed. I have suggested in the past that people should watch your video on a lesson, then do the workbook exercises, while memorizing the vocab by using an Anki deck for Genki. I feel each lesson should take a week or 2 to memorize all the vocab and practice the grammar. What do you think is a good way to proceed? I am sure your viewers would love to know.
That's a great point, and something I definitely need to make a video about. I think we agree for the most part on the approach, though I'd probably go into quite a bit of detail on the lead-up, and follow through. Thank you for reminding me that I need to make this video! =)
I actually REALLY like this because I always search up how to learn Japanese, until I found this, and you have explained certain things that I always wondered about and of course I find language apps don’t really get to those that often, so thank you so much for making a genki book walkthrough ☺️
I literally cannot contain my excitement over finding this channel. This will be the first time I have EVER joined a patreon. Fantastic stuff Andy! I hit the Subscribe button so fast I think I broke my mouse! XD
I’m about start my first Japanese class in college in two weeks, and it’s going to be taught by using this Genki book 1. I’m so glad I found your channel. I hope my new teacher is as good as you.
My 🇺🇸 12 yr old son want to learn Japanese after our Japan trip last month . Someone recommended me to order this book from Amazon. I am glad find yr videos to start. Will join member if he spend time to learn this orange book with u this summer 🇺🇸
I love your channel sooo much! Have you thought about turning you recordings into mp3 and putting them up as podcast too? You could bring in some extra doe that way🤣
I have actually considered that! I'm concerned that being unable to see all of the examples on screen will make them less useful, but I am still considering it! Thank you!
Thank you YT for suggesting this. This is waaaay better than my actual class. shared ur channel to my friends lookinh forward to more contents from ur channel❤️❤️
i have a great Japanese teacher! But i only have an hour per day to study with her. Then I can't study alone: so hard to remember but easy to forget. That's great that I found your videos today. They will support me so much. せんせい。ありがとうございます
Thanks for this video really helpful and helping me clear up my understanding of things. I am now less confused. Definitely going to watch the rest of this series. Thank you
Hi Andy! Just wanted to drop a comment here to say that thanks to your videos helped me a lot to pass the JLPT N5. It wasn't my only study resource, but your lessons were really helpful (specially the videos about the verbs. Your approach is the best one BY FAR). Thanks to you I passed my JLPT N5 with just 5 months of study. Now I'm going for the N4 and will try to reach the N3. Thanks a lot for doing this.
In this video I learn "うん" is also Yes, so I try to translate the sound I usually make when I'm responding to someone "うんふん" and it literally mean "Yeah sht" I'm dying
Just found this and I appreciate not including the romaji and including the hiragana for the kanji! Really gets me to practice reading hiragana (that's the only alphabet I'm completely familiar with so far) I love this
It took me 3 days and a migraine but i finally got it done with memorizing all the vocab this video was a great tool to reintroduce all the information after! I will make sure to tell people about your summaries thank you.

I'm happy to hear that they are helping! Thank you for watching!
You are a fantastic teacher! Love the energy, the repetition, and visual style of colour coding words.
Thank you so much lassi! =)
You know you're enjoying learning when you watched a 30 min video but it feels like only 3 mins. I'll be watching the next one. Thank you for this.
I dont own genki but this is a great way to know in general what we learn in it
Appreciate the time taken to remove the chat and upload an additional video :)

I've definitely thought about it. I'm not 100% sure HOW to do that, but I would definitely like to do it soon.

Thank you for this lesson. I'm halfway through it and so far, it's making my life easier. :)
I'm happy to hear it. Thanks for watching!
Really great, thanks! I worked through a lot of Genki but then life got in the way and this served as a great refresher of what I already covered.
What a great playlist! I'm really looking forward to using these as a refresher to mix it up a bit.
*Also bananas are totally sweet :P
Thanks for this video I really enjoyed it. It's great to have a recap after a completed lesson and get some extra information!

I love your channel sooo much! Have you thought about turning you recordings into mp3 and putting them up as podcast too? You could bring in some extra doe that way🤣
I have actually considered that! I'm concerned that being unable to see all of the examples on screen will make them less useful, but I am still considering it!
Thank you!

Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much! I can't express how much your lessons help in studying Japanese!
Thank you YT for suggesting this. This is waaaay better than my actual class. shared ur channel to my friends lookinh forward to more contents from ur channel❤️❤️
I'm happy to hear it! I hope that it continues to help you. =)
i have a great Japanese teacher! But i only have an hour per day to study with her. Then I can't study alone: so hard to remember but easy to forget. That's great that I found your videos today. They will support me so much. せんせい。ありがとうございます

também estou, os melhores materiais que eu encontrei foram em inglês
@@samihstudiesh650 com certeza! Tem muito mais material de qualidade gratuito em inglês, e quando é pago, o valor é muito mais acessível
Thanks for this video really helpful and helping me clear up my understanding of things. I am now less confused. Definitely going to watch the rest of this series.
Thank you
Only Americans have so much sugar in their diet that they don't think of bananas as sweet
Come on dude that's not nice😭
Hi Andy!
Just wanted to drop a comment here to say that thanks to your videos helped me a lot to pass the JLPT N5. It wasn't my only study resource, but your lessons were really helpful (specially the videos about the verbs. Your approach is the best one BY FAR). Thanks to you I passed my JLPT N5 with just 5 months of study.
Now I'm going for the N4 and will try to reach the N3.
Thanks a lot for doing this.
In this video I learn "うん" is also Yes, so I try to translate the sound I usually make when I'm responding to someone "うんふん" and it literally mean "Yeah sht" I'm dying
Just found this and I appreciate not including the romaji and including the hiragana for the kanji! Really gets me to practice reading hiragana (that's the only alphabet I'm completely familiar with so far) I love this
Thanks for making a non-interaction version of your streams, Andy! These will be very useful to me :)
I'm glad you like them!
Just dropping in to say thanks for this series! This kickstarted my learning journey three years ago and I'm so grateful. Thank you so much!
Best Genki Series [Walkthrough] on TH-cam!
It took me 3 days and a migraine but i finally got it done with memorizing all the vocab this video was a great tool to reintroduce all the information after! I will make sure to tell people about your summaries thank you.
