Also another thing to mention, you mentioned and said 深める as ふくめる、「ふかめる」です
@@GlowyTheGamer Thanks for bringing this up. I was just looking up 深める and got a bit confused :)
True.That is actually a huge mistake in this video, made by beginners when they're taught that "desu" is just a polite variation of "da".
The internet is the best thing ever happen in this world, imagine having this level of content quality for free. thanks man.
Seriously... He is doing a great job... By d way.. I also teach Japanese at my channel.
I hope my lessons can help u though they're not so good like this😅.. U can still check it out if u want😉
Not free, interrupted by advertisement and data collected by google. On a decentralized video platform I would agree...
@@LachsLauch Here’s a tip. Find a cheap or free VPN (you can find some VPN extensions for Chrome and Firefox) and change your region to JP. Then, change your location on youtube to Japanese.
By doing this, you’ll only get ads from Japan. I’ve been doing it for a couple years now; helps keep your immersion environment consistent. Your data is still being collected, but at least you can still learn while it’s happening, lol. Good luck!
@@ノリオクちゃんr just pay for premium or ad blockers
@@ノリオクちゃんthere’s no free Japanese VPn
You're going to be huge.
hey it's tokiniki! i watch your genki lessons! :D
greetings
Thanks man
How would you say you're going to be huge in japanese?

I'm 45 years old and since 17 years old I've been on and off with Japanese falling in and out of love with it. Not for the sake of anime, games, food or any of that specifically but to open a door to an entire culture and better connect with more people in the world and a way that I would otherwise not be able to. Thank you kindly for taking the time to put together this video and others. I know it's time-consuming so I hope my subscription and like contributes well.
This is absolutely insane levels of effort, even by your standards! I can't believe you were able to find each and every one of these, much less do it in only a couple of weeks! Absolute madlad!
Hahaha late reply but yes, it certainly is a lot of work hahah thanks for all your support Vroom
th-cam.com/video/euLsrxrsKG0/w-d-xo.html
@@GameGengo You're my favorite English speaking Japanese 先生！ coz you explain it in English in an eloquent way... が。。。面白い方、わかりました！
I cannot believe this exists. THANK YOU!
Thank YOU for enjoying it!! Everyone support is what keeps me going and finding ways to keep improving the content for everyone! So thank you! :)
also for *FREE*
The amount of work put into this video is actually insane. Editing, finding the examples, etc. must have taken so much time. Thank you.
This man's a mad lad. To be honest, this is way too fast to learn all the grammar but using this as a review for everything is a brilliant use of time. Might watch it several times.
Haha thanks so much! Currently working on doing the same for N3 just a bit more detailed! I hope it helps you enjoy learning Japanese more! :D
@@GameGengo any timeline on the N3 perhaps? this is an epic resource 🙇♂️thank you for your work, you're amazing 💪
I like to use this as a way to find words I would like to focus on (for example, なくてもいい I would very much like to learn. I have friends in japan, and I would like to convey a lot of things aren't necessary.). Yeah, it's a bit much, but if I can find individual words, and then do more research on it, allows me to learn a lot more from that.
Bruh if I had found a series like this back in 2005 I'd be at N1 level already, self study is made more efficient by videos like this
Came back to write a cheatsheet of these since I'm gonna be at an event. A lot of these points are well explained but it's also very important to be exposed to the language being used naturally as well as try to use it every day.
@@sneakydoodle where are you now in your Japanese studies? Have you passed the N1 yet? Just curious...

明けましておめでとうございます！！
For all those who were wanting more grammar videos, here is over 100 in 1!! Merry Xmas! ;)
Thank you for all your support throughout 2020 and here is to an amazing 2021!
I hope you're all staying safe over this end-of-year period and continue to enjoy learning Japanese in 2021 as well!
Looks like Christmas came early. 356 days early.
Wow, thanks for the video!
Thank you for the video but there are Ads every 5 MINUTES aaarrrggghhh I'm dying it is so anoying...
@@caldween1124 Hey sorry about that, I just let TH-cam decide what was best, I don't know how often ads show up haha but I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :)
@@GameGengo You are most welcome! And now the Ads are much more spaced... I don't even want to know why :D I prefer to focus on this brilliant video!
this guy is a legend, I hope this channel receives the views that it deserves.
Thank you so much! Ill do the best I can to keep growing the channel and help everyone have fun learning Japanese! :D
I thought my grasp on N5 grammar would be quite solid after several years of learning but there were 2 - 3 grammar points even I needed to freshen up on. This was a fun way of doing that! Thanks for the hard work, can't imagine how long the editing took.
Smug
How's it now?
I have to admit I wasn't expecting much when I opened this video but I have been blown away by how capable you are as an educator/content creator. You made everything so easy to understand with content and context. Everything flowed nicely into each other. All around a great video. I definitely recommend giving it a watch. Thank you for your time and hard work.
There's also an Anki Deck in the description, and it's a work of art!
All the phrases with images, voiceover, grammarpoints, even furigana that shows on hover-over. Basically this video, but interactive.
This is not only an incredibly concise introduction to Japanese grammar, but also entertaining and watchable. One of the best-quality materials I've seen to any language. As someone who spends more time studying more poorly-supported languages like Khmer and Guarani, I'm coming to admire Japanese language instruction the same way I admire Japanese aesthetics or architecture. I wonder if there's any other culture on Earth so dedicated to doing things correctly.
I occasionally make an effort to start learning Japanese and give up after an hour or two, but by God I'm subscribing to this channel just because of the amount of effort that went into this video and what a good idea it is.
Agreed! I’m gonna try and learn little by little to have an understanding of listening compression and reading in Japanese. Even if I cant speak all too fluently.
This is an awesome video! I know something like this takes an immense amount of work and would love to see one for each N level eventually in the future if that is something you plan to do. Learning with video games is fun! Thank you
Thank you so much for checking out the video and enjoying it! I really believe that having fun is the most important thing when learning languages and what is more fun than video games? :D
I will keep doing my best until all the JLPT and beyond is covered!

Holy fucking shit, I'm an Editor so I know how much fucking work and time went into this video.
I'm almost getting a panic attack by just thinking about how much absurd work is in this.
This video is worth thousands of dollars & I think many people don't even realize it.
We got:
ALL of N5-grammar
OVER 100 examples
MORE than 60 DIFFERENT videogames as a reference
ALL with footage of them being used in context
EVERY single part is nicely presented
WITH a translation/meaning
AND the written out sentence
ALSO color-coded/highlighted that part of the sentence
AND ON TOP OF IT ALL is he actually takes his time and explains EVERY SINGLE FREAKING THING
This must've been such an absurd mountain of work, and I just only mentioned the EDITING work,
you also have to actually think about each grammar point,
find a good and fitting example of it in a video-game,
then ALSO grab that footage in a decent quality from SOMEWHERE
and actually manage to pull through recording/writing it all up.
These are the educational videos we need, but don't deserve.
EDIT:
NVM THE DUDE ACTUALLY EVEN WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO TIMESTAMP EVERY SINGLE FREAKING THING PROPERLY AND PROVIDE AN ANKI DECK ALSDOKASOJIDFJJFIESJFUESHFDOFU(WKJFKDFJWEJFSIFJOSIEFDFJKDSFSDKFJSDfsifiefjsjeoifsoofj
It's enough to have a general understanding of the grammar as a (not) English native, I don't know the name of any grammar point in English. But can use it fairly proficiently just by having a general idea and listening for examples for hours. Unless is for a test it really doesn't matter.
For me I'm not doing it to get a grade but to understand the grammar more intuitively. 🗿
@gilfhound69I don't think you watched the same video or only watched part of it...
@gilfhound69 what logic? He explains what it means, how it is perceived, other similar grammars, formality levels, common confusions...
Your usage of incessant swearing is cringe and immature.
@chromium7745 the fact that you place value on the frequency of one's swear use is fucking lame. Focus on what they have to say instead of caring about their choice of phrase intensifiers.
My Brother, I can't express in words how grateful I am for your content, I'm a brazilian guy, japanese student, I'm going to exchange in Japan in April 2025.
You just merged my learning with something I love, which is JRPGs.
This kind of video deserves the biggest praise ever. Thank god for letting me discover this.
Haha thank you so much! Im so glad you enjoyed the video!!
This is... INCREDIBLE!! This might be the best Japanese learning content I've ever come across, and I'll watch all the content you've made!!
I dont' even learn Japanese and I'm hyped for this haha Such cool content

This is amazing! I actually hit sort of a slump in my japanese self-studies and this totally got me back in the groove, watching and taking notes is helping so much
Please make one for n4 this video helped me so much, I'm studying for a scholarship and this video was on point to study, great video and channel!
Hehe glad you enjoyed it! I'm working as hard as I can to get the N4 video out ASAP ;) Almost finished collecting all the footage/examples! hehe
Please look forward to it VERY soon!
@@GameGengo Thanks for the answer! That's great I'll be waiting then, I'll subscribe and recommend your videos keep making awesome content 😊
Honestly baffled by the amount of efforts put into this. I will remember this throughout my language learning journey. Thanks mate!
This video is amazing. Not inly does it help you to remember the points by giving examples from interesting situations, but it also keeps explanations short yet perfectly concise. Thank you so much for this; it helped me tremendously.
Welp, over the last 2 weeks I've been watching ten minutes of this video per day, so I can take notes and re practice the examples by saying them out loud every day, and I can safely say that I understand a lot more phrases now than I did before:] (I've been using WaniKani for 6+ months but hadn't gotten into grammar)
So massive thanks to you for making this video, subbed and liked! Hopefully you can make another video for N4 in the future!
hi there.. Good to see u learn Japanese.. I am risa. 😄.. And i also teach japanese at my channel.. Yoh can check it out if you want😉.. Hope, my lessons help u 😇... Anyways...頑張ってください 💖✨️
I literally can't believe how underrated you are! Like, such educational, enjoyable, and succinct content for free???
Extremely well made video. Concise and informative on the nuances of particles and grammar. Super awesome with giving context via video games. Would love to see videos like this for higher levels of Japanese!

My son woke me up at 6am, what a pleasant surprise to wake up to 😄❤
Yaaaay hehe sorry to hear you woke up so early, but I'm glad I could help make it a bit better! ^_^
Yo. I actually hate trying to learn Japanese from TH-cam… But just 7 minutes in to this video I already feel the information actually GET STUCK to my brain! You explain so good both with speech, text and visuals! Amazing actually! (AND I have ADHD so I NEVER stick information in my brain!) THANK YOU!!
I've studied/learned a lot of these points before, but it's always good to refresh yourself on the fundamentals, especially if it's been awhile since you last studied them specifically. A video like this that not only goes over everything, but also shows you practical examples using games, is really great! Thank you for making this, I can only imagine how much time it took! I'll definitely be checking out the other ones you made too!
I have a bit over 1k matured vocabulary cards that in my anki deck (close to 4 months using core 2k/6k) and I have not touched too much.
With tae kim's grammar guide and this video I was able to get a better grasp of grammar and I feel very comfortable doing immersion.
This video should have way more views then it has especially for people like myself that learned japanese to play games and watch anime in the native language.
Thank you for your hard work is very much appreciated.
very true! i'm on the same boat like you (about 1.2k vocab) and i was so confused on grammar until watching this video. it's a lifesaver
Howmuch words you know now?@@retrofilmwork
Thank you so much for this video and the whole video game grammar textbook series!! There's nothing that parallels it. I appreciate how succinct this series is. I'm trying to cram as much Japanese as possible this summer because I want to be good enough at the language to have fun when I study abroad in Japan next year. This series makes it easy to learn a lot of Japanese in a short amount of time. Thank you again!
These videos are game-changing! The way you use gaming examples to explain Japanese grammar and vocabulary makes learning for the JLPT so much more engaging and memorable. Your breakdowns of complex grammar points using scenarios from popular games not only help solidify the concepts but also make the learning process fun. I appreciate the effort you put into making these videos comprehensive yet accessible. I'm sharing your channel with all my friends who are learning Japanese. Please keep up the fantastic work!
Completeley separate to how you've levelled up your Japanese and went and created one of the greatest Japanese Study channels on TH-cam: It is really impressive just how many games you've played and are able to draw from as sources!
Wow, this content is such a gem to find! A great addition for my japanese learning. Thank you so much for making these and turning available for free! God bless you for that!
Flipping heck - what an utter amazing site / channel. I've quit loads of time cos of dull boring methods! This is effing cracking. You're a legend geez!
You are so good at explaining things.The video game theming is just the icing on the cake.
Thanks so much
This is so incredible and perfect for learning i cant believe its real. Having the casual/polite/spoken situations for what granmer is chosen helps so much, and the video games make it instantly more engaging to learn with. Thank you!!
Regardless of how big you get on TH-cam - you're changing people's lives here. There are too few men like you in this world, thank you so much for the work you put in.
What a great way to review before the JLPT tomorrow. Thanks a bunch, man.
I passed! But now I need to review again for a placement test at my Japanese school tomorrow. 🤞
@@WSwanhey is this video enough for n5 grammar ? I have exam soon
I don't even game but this has just blown me away. Wow.
This channel is amazing. Anything that holds your attention in language learning and keeps you coming back for more is valuable, and then Matt points us toward even more realia (content produced by native speakers for native speakers) so we can keep learning outside the channel. Outstanding.
BRO YOU ARE INCREDIBLY UNDERRARED KEEP MAKING YOUR CONTENT BRO IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A CHANNEL LIKE THIS FOR SO LONG!!
I love the potency of JRPGs in this video. Makes me feel cozy.
while the video is quite old, one comment on です and だ, while they are the copula and equivalent to "to be", if です is used with I-adjectives, like your examples, its used purely for politeness. You cannot use だ with I-adjectives, since they dont need or already have the copula function within them, 大きいだ would be incorrect grammar.
Thanks, I forgot that!
Man I'm using the anki deck you made for this and you are simply a madlad super gosu, whatever other meme superlatives you want to add dude. These a f'n brillant really, really. とても半端じゃないね。。
The amount of effort put into this is crazy! Making learning grammar fun is incredible, thank you!!
Taking my first JLPT on December 1st, found this video in my old Japanese folder, this video is gonna be a lifesaver, thank you for making this and sharing it for free❤
I can't express how grateful I am for finding your channel! You are doing a great job and are absolutely on point from a didactical perspective. You deserve as much success as possible, ありがとうございます！
life changer video, yes or yes? honestly, I could find myself enjoying grammar enough to study by myself, but dude, this video made me realize how nice it is to actually understand the grammar rather than just the words and now I'm studying grammar with more attention and love! Thank you so much!
1:21:08 dont mind me just a personal tracker :)
Persona!!!🃏✊
I knew what conjunctions were but i didn't realize what the teacher was talkinhg about. You taught me in a few minutes what my teachers couldn't teach me in years. Thank you.
this is such an incredible resource and the work put into crafting something this comprehensive and readable is BEYOND, thank you so much!!
This is so amazing. Even for the grammar points I was already familiar with, you managed to teach me something new.
This is a great resource thanks a lot. I love how the pairing of the grammatical concepts to specific games makes them so much easier to remember!
th-cam.com/video/euLsrxrsKG0/w-d-xo.html
I was always struggeling with creating grammar cards that are not too large with dry explanations, until I found the immersion kit website, with this stuff here. It's pure gold and has boosted my learning progress a lot, while keeping it as fun and simple as possible. Thanks a lot!
First time i've ever watched a video this long on youtube the whole way through. I even watched all of the grammar points I already knew just to hear your take on it. The explanations were perfect! Great stuff!
How have I only just found this channel!? Thankyou so much! Might just spark my inspriation to start learning japanese again
What a pleasant surprise! Thank you so much!
Heheh glad to surprise you with something good! I hope you enjoyed it! :)
Can't believe you've done the incredible legwork of MAKING DECKS for all these videos---you've saved me so, so, so, so much work. ありがとございました。 I truly know how much work it takes to make just one of these, thank you thank you thank you!
This is amazing work, you deserve all the subs!

They are so good! 😁
I stumbled upon the channel through the FF7 Remake video series and this is the 2nd video I've found from you. You're one of the very few channels I'll turn my ad-blocker off for, because man, this is some dedication. ありがとうございます！Can't wait to explore the rest of this channel.
This is amazing, hope to see N4 and N3 soon
I cannot stress how AMAZING this video is. The effort put into this is astounding. ありがとう！
man i'm probably late by 7 months, but videos like these and creators like you are one of the best, i personally learned english this way too (playing games, watching movies) because i feel learning a language is best suited as if we are a child learning new things, so in a way i kind of understand it a lot more, but the thing is that there's not really a lot of youtubers like you who make these kinds of content, which is why i appreciate every each one of your videos, so please continue making more videos like these
Awesome video concept, especially for someone who enjoys video games so thanks a lot !
I'll download the videos as mp3 with only the lines and use a Word sheet to follow along.
Another “Matt” teaching people Japanese through immersion. What is it with Matts and AJATT? Awesome video btw, will you be doing N4 and N3 etc?
My approach is a little different to some other Matt's but yeah it is so funny how there seems to be a huge amount of Matt's in the learn japanese community hahah
Also yeah i intend to cover the entire JLPT (as much as possible) only a matter of time :)
@@GameGengo another Matt here to hopefully join in the ranks of your skills. this video is utterly amazing thank you so much
I love this. Now the problem of figuring out the best way to study/remember these (besides the obligatory anki deck studying).
J'adore ! Ça a dû prendre un temps fou mais c'est top. Très bon choix de jeux, et de la grammaire formelle et informelle ! Bravo 👏🙌
These videos are incredibly helpful, not to mention you actually took the time to put timestamps in alphabetical order in the description. Thank you very much!
A partir de ahora usaré este vídeo para repasar la gramática de Nivel 5. Dos horas con muchos ejemplos e información detallada para aprender y tener claro las distintas piezas gramaticales.
Gracias Matt por este vídeo. Me tomó tres días ver todo esto y lo disfruté mucho con tu buena explicación. Gracias gracias gracias.
Coming back to this and being able to read some of the subtitles feels AMAZING!!!
You explain the grammar so well! The examples are very helpful as well. Sometimes grammar points like this feel too abstract unless put into a sentence, and using sentences from familiar media helps a lot with making things like connotation and tone click. Definitely using these videos to help me study!
I did not expect this video to be so easy to get through. I love the voice acting for the games with no spoken dialogue, too. Also, I respect the absolutely ridiculous amount of time and energy this must have taken to put together.

I’ve always been a visual learner. Everything else I’ve found has stressed me out or given me that “cramming” feeling. This video was so wonderful for me and I can’t wait to see how much it helps, hopefully in the near future! 🤩
Thank you! 🙏🏻
I just found out your channel. I am surprised you don't have millions of followers. It's so clear, useful and entertaining at the same time!
man this is amazing! please do the same on JLPT N4
I hope you enjoyed the N4 video ;)
@@GameGengo Thank you very much! This is the best TH-cam channel in the world!
These quick grammar rule rolls are just what i needed. Thank you pal.
Bro I spent multiple days skimming through this video so i could make an anki deck for the grammar only to realise you already put one in the description 😭
just saved me like 3 hours 😭
@@Atom803 Im glad i could save u
So far I only watched 60 seconds of this video, took a quick glance at your channel and I already love you. Thanks for all the work.
I’ve been studying on and off for years... where have you been all my life?? #Subscribed #NowBinging
I've always had a tough time with grammar, but your explanations and examples were simple and easy to understand. Thank you so much for putting in the effort to make this.
Seriously game gengo, these are incredible videos. I've been studying japanese since january 2020 and I am in level 5 in duolingo (7 in total). Which game do you recommend that I start playing in japanese?
Hi, I'm also in N5. I've improved a lot by playing or visual novels (Steins Gate, etc), for example the Grisaia Phantom Trigger series, the great thing about it is that it's full-voiced and you can display both japanese and english, also you can repeat every sentence as many times as you want and rehear it.
@@G-JS EL PSY KONGROO
Genshin Impact. It's free to play on PS4 and mobile (not sure about other platforms but look it up).
It's a really well developed RPG which visually closely resembles Breath Of The Wild.
Dialogue can be switched to Japanese with subtitles either in English or Japanese.
One of the amazing features is that once you've unlocked a couple of characters you can play back their dialogue in the menu. So you can select a phrase and listen to it over and over again.
thank you for this, grammar is what I have been struggling with the most while immersing so having this video and your anki deck that goes with it is very helpful.
You’re amazing! I’ve studied so much kanji, I’m at the N3 level. And yet, I struggle with basic N5 grammar. This is just what I needed!
because it is always tought in the wrong way. Go watch cure dolly videos, it explains WHY grammar is like this. And not only that the grammar is this.
Example:
here he says to put KATA after a MASU form without masu.
Correct way to tell this would be that any verb stem in the "い" form becomes a NAME:
So hanasu -> transformed to I becomes hanashi "a talk", and adding the helper KATA becomes "the kind/way of the talk". the way of talking.
Masu has literally NOTHING to do with this.
OMFG this is the best content I have seen in youtube. Thank you so much.
Your videos are extraordinarily exceptional! ✨❤️
Thank you so much たろなる！I do my very best

Bit of a personal anecdote of when I started using games as language material. I hold video games in high regard to learning a language, I think it is the second best, if not THE best!
I started English by playing Battlefield 3 in non-Asian lobbies. The 1 condition I self-imposed was that I keep the mic open during all sessions and loud enough for parents to hear. Did this experiment purely to improve my language grades, as they were abysmal, to say the least. (and boy did I plead like hell to my parents so I could do this.) lol
Initially the more I played, the less I felt I was getting better until the mock tests came to pass. After about 7 months, it got a little easier to converse. The results came and I scored a stupendous and an absolute once in a life time miracle. A score of 45 out of 100. It was the day I made my parents happy. After 4 years of dreadful language scores, this was a miracle.
Parents loved it and would later allow me to play an hour longer...which then grew till midnight, sometimes I was pulling all-nighters, until I went a full day, all of the 1440 minutes of talk time.
I did it consistently every day for 3 hours, for a stellar talk time of 4000 hours in BF3. I found that I now could do something I never could before. Watch media WITHOUT SUBTITLES!! I felt like Saitama but with my ears. lol
After two year and a bit, I could now interpret movies to my father. But the penultimate test was still the final terms, weeks went by and the results came in, I was sacred and so my father went to see my grades. I had scored a 93. He knew I was getting better but this felt cosmic! He even got the test answer papers to show my mum.
He was over cloud 9 that day, to this day I have never seen him so happy and to think it was I who did it, I quietly bawled like a girl who's just seen Titanic for the first time that evening. XD
He then planned a holiday in Hawaii. This was it, the no reward bonus side quest thats done only for bragging rights, and here I had to interpret everything for the whole family. During that vacation, I felt like I truly mattered. That all that time playing games was not wasted time, arguing with people and friends from across the pond.
This has gone long enough for a comment but the takeaway for me is that the whole idea of speaking a different language feels like a superpower. It brings you closer to people more than anything.
And to think it was video games that got you there? Man! I felt like getting rid of a stigma that video games can't be helpful and a learning tool.
And I think this video is proof enough that it can work. It's won't happen overnight but you keep at it unyieldingly, you'll be only better for it.
Cheers if you read this till the end. XD Have a good day!
