This such a gem, especially for people like me who wanted to understand Japanese and comprehend. The drawing and the way you rad it out is perfect. Please make more.
I've only started "learning" Japanese because of these random youtube recommendations but it's quite enjoyable so I might take this a bit more seriously. Being able to read this whole thing and understand it all, no matter how basic it was, felt pretty good. I know the vast majority of hiragana and some random katakana/kanji from machine-translating random raw manga pages; it's helped me more than I thought it did. I've got a fairly decent foundation as far as reading goes.
Ok this Is just what i was looking for I Just started learning japanese and i know very few things.. but i still could understand this and also i extracted how you Say small in japanese :0
I've been studying Japanese using every available resource and this is the first story I have actually been able to understand... Which is a small yet motivating shred of hope. Thank you!
Just to help some people read the hiragana- あいうえお. かきくけこ. さしす せそ. たちつてと. な に ぬ ね の. は ひ ふ へ ほ. ま み む め も. や ゆ よ. ら り る れ ろ. わ を ん. a i u e o. ka ki ku ke ko. sa shi su se so. ta chi tsu te to. na ni nu ne no. ha hi fu he ho. ma mi mu me mo. ya yu yo, ra ri ru re ro. wa wo nn.
Thank you! Been learnimg for about a month and this the first story i've been able to understand every word. Far more interesting than the usual stuff aimed a students.
Here's the Hiragana script for this video along with the Kanji's used + English translation, Try to figure out the Kanji meanings yourselves! がんばて! ♡ たこといか 「タコとイカ」 Octopus and Squid たこです。 I am an Octopus. たこはあかいです。 (赤い) I am a red Octopus. いかです。 I am a Squid いかはおおきいです。 (大) I am a big Squid. いかはちいさいですか。 (小さい) How small are you? いいえ、おおきいです。 (大) No, I'm big. たこは あお ですか。 (青) Are you a blue Octopus? いいえ、あかいです。 (赤い) No, I am a red Octopus あかい たこ VS おおきい いか Red Octopus VS Big Squid たこは あかい です。 (青) I am a blue Octopus. いかは すし です… (寿司) I am a Sushi Squid ...
This is exactly the stuff I'm looking for! It was easier to understand especially with my limited Japanese. I like the notion that you are learning like a child again--especially through short stories. Also the ending was too funny😭
I searched for “graded japanese” on TH-cam and this video was on the list. It’s what I wanted. I’d love something for Japanese like what Familia Romana is for Latin.
I love this! Haha.... finally a story that is at my level. I've been studying for about a month, and some of the other short stories in Japanese on youtube were a little out of my league. But this one was very nice! I like the battle between the two たこ。Thank you for making this!
I’m 10 years old and I’m currently trying to learn kanji Japanese I wrote this story up after spending half an hour learning kanji (some of it) and about the whole kind of language in general I found this story really helpful because I wrote it up and I’m starting to learn what it means I really enjoy this!
Just an update a few months ago I came to this video and couldn’t read or understand, tonight I would read along and understand I thought I’d never get to this point I’m kinda proud
From my own experience I take: It could be even more helpful, if color blobs, drawn while speaking, indicated the colors, and photos of the animals, pointed to while speaking and drawing, "explained" the animal differences. The drawing itself is wonderfully explainatory and a "must stay"! 😊 Thanks a lot for your work!
I realize this story is an older post but i just found it and it is still fun today! i'am a beginner and this is the first thing i have been able to read :) Yaaaaa!
ストーリーがすきです！おもしろいなかわいいです I'm learning japanese by myself at home, and it can be really really hard. Sometimes it gets to a point where I think that I'm not learning anything. But in this video I understood every single word and sentence. I know it was very very easy vocab, but still. It gave me lots of motivation. Oh, also... いかはすしです 😂😂😂
@@betprasadamgain-ch2hk Me too... I'm learning it simply because I love the language, and languages in general. Also, I would love to visit the country someday
I'm very happy because I'm trying to learn japanese, and I think I got the premise of it, of course I have to look up quite a bit of stuff, but it was really fun to learn new words in Japanese :D

I saw your comment and thought nothing of it. And then we got to the sushi. And I was like... I get it now.
LMAOOOOOO
Ikr I used this to test my basic japanese , understood it all and now I'm lmao with the ending
Wow learning Japanese is like being reborn again, in the sense that I have to start reading children books and listening to nursery rhymes again.

I learned japanese with duolingo for a while and i understood everything
