Here's a mnemonic for the Japanese word: "WORK" しごと (shigoto) just think of the last time you had to go to work and say "SHIT, GO TO work" and trust me you'll remember it right away
One thing I would say to improve this lesson playlist would be that they should have added Kanji characters underneath the Hiragana characters. Kanji is a pretty helpful tool in learning despite many people complaining about it (even though they probably have never even tried to learn it, or maybe haven't even tried learning hiragana itself). It helps you to remember words, since words like 'asatte' are made up of the kanji 明後日 which is effectively the kanji for 'ashita' 「明日」 with the kanji for 'after' 「後」sandwiched between them.
@maxgunn555 "Ikimasen" would mean "I am not going" "ikimasen deshita" would be "I didn't go" (past tense) So, "pati ni ikimasen" (I am not going to the party) and "pati ni ikimasen deshita" (I did not go to the party)
When she uses the word "negative", she meant to negate the sentence. So when it says "(negative) to go", she means "to not go", or ikimasen. I hope this helped!
Douitashi mashite! The best way to memorize is to repeat things over and over. Even if you only do it for 5 minutes a day, if you keep repeating you will start to memorize things. Good luck!
To understand this better, I recommend that after each word/phrase you pause the video and write down the words. This might take a while but it's definitely worth it.
Lol I've been doing this and I thought I was the only one xD it helps soooooooo much guys u don't even know I spread these videos out to an hour because of writing and stuff
Duo-lingo could never. I didn’t realize how much duo lingo wasn’t teaching me. Most stuff on duolingo isn’t explained or is too formal But this lady is a great teacher and I love listening to her sweet voice. And I love how kind she is, if only I had a teacher this nice. 😢💗💗💗💗 Bless her for making these lessons.
I think this is the first channel I’ve found that actually gives you words grouped by category rather than just explaining how the grammar works or throwing 1600 random words at you. Not to say that those videos are bad, they are helpful, but every other language class I’ve taken divides the words you learn by type and I think it’s just a lot easier to learn like that.
I want to say it means "the" Like in "kino pati ni ikimashita ka" I translated it to "did you go to the party yesterday?" 'did you go to' would be 'ikimashita' the question is 'ka' and party is pati, yesterday is kino, so the would be ni?
depāto ni ikimasu : im going to the department store ikemasen negative ikimasu positive ikimashita past form ikimasen deshita negative past shigoto - work pāti - party eki : station pāti ni ikimasu ka? are you going to the party? hai ikimasu, yes im going iie ikimasen : no im not going kyou - today kino : yesterday ashita - tomorrow
Im in love with this lady, such a beautiful way in teaching, I know there are a lot of hard things to learn but she start teaching with the easiest of basics so people wont get bored.
If you want to say "I am going to the *insert place*", then you would say "Watashi wa *insert place* he ikimasu." You wouldn't really use "watashi wa ikimasu" on its own.
The number of views per every subsequent video of the series decreases just like the Khan Academy videos for Calculus lol! Separating the people who actually want to learn from the people who are hyped up on emotions. Gambatte!!!
i watch every lesson, 5 times, 10 times, 20 times, unttil i got it, and then i move on to the next, and repeat the previous every day, realise how fast i forget, but also how much i remember
Arigatou! I've been learning for about 5 weeks with you! I spend about a week fluently understanding the entire video and move onto the next lesson. Hopefully I will be fluent when I move to japan in a few years
Ni and e can both indicate direction of motion, meaning "to" or "at" in English. E is closer to English "towards" in terms of use. For example, if you said "Watashi ha New York ni ikimashita", that means "I went to New York (specific destination"). If you said "watashi ha New York e ikimashita", that means "I went towards Oregon (no specific place in mind)".
I'm loving these lessons! Using these lessons to supplement working with DuoLingo and Rosetta Stone, I really get a well rounded education! Thanks Japan Society! I love the way the teacher reviews the concepts! Excellent!
God! love the lesson,I like how you teach, you wait us to say before you say the next sentence then repeat. Step by step. it's easy to understand. Thank you !
I'm currently trying to learn all of the Japanese language and she has helped me most of the way, I know a lot of Japanese but using this, was the only reason I can, thanks Japan Society!!
I am 11 years old Rn and I am learning this and she make it way more easy than Duolingo and other TH-cam channels who teaches Japanese I love her voice she is such a calm teacher . Love u all who is learning Japanese and I hope u all learn it fast as u could be successful in life . Love from Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
wow!!! this classes are the best like fr the teacher is kawaiiii,calm there no music in the whole video so i can focus just so quiet,useful class the clear pronunciation so i can understand everything is just perfect i know it's about 13 years ago now but japan society lessons is the best I will make sure to complete the classes Arigatou gozaimasu🫧🌷🤍
i want videos of this teacher... can you please tell me where can i find more of her videos... thank you so much sesnsei... i wish i knew your name atleast :( i miss her classes
6:36 '...ikimasu- AHHHAHH AHHH, ahh just kidding, you thought there were no tenses in Japanese, ahah, oooohhh good one...ahem, no, we do actually have a past tense.' You teach so well whilst also being entertaining... you picked the right career :')
I’m 12 rn and taking these lessons in the hopes that I’ll be able to move to Japan one day, your such a great teacher and you make it so simple and easy to understand, arigatuo for everything you’ve taught me so far🥰
Isn't it 'へ' particle coming before ikimasu? Our teacher told like that. When going somewhere we use 'e' particle.I don't know about 'ni' particle. Can you teach me whats right?
+Sithmi Randunuge Strictly speaking, "へ" indicates direction, while "に" indicates destination, yet actually the difference is vague, so you can use either of them.
ni is more like the final or target destination and he is more like pointing to a direction, and yes they are interchangeable from little to no difference at all, but there are times when one is more accurate than the other ...
We express something imported from foreign countries or the foreign things in general in Katakana, Such as depato, a shortened word for "a department," we express it in Katakana. You'd express "crepe" in Katakana, too because those are French dessert.
well, i was curious about japanese language, and searched how to learn, found this and dude, this woman explains rlly good, she could be a damn real Japanese teacher
Raymond Ponte When she says positive she means the verbs (ex: to go.) When she says negative she means the verbs with the additions of a negative word (i.e. "no".) So "ikimasu" is the verb as well the positive form, and "ikimasen" is the negative form. Hope this helps, please feel free to ask more questions!
I am truly grateful to have such a wonderful person as my teacher to learn Japanese.! I wish I could write everything I've said in Japanese but one must learn to walk before running.! Please accept my gratitude 🙏
I just wanna say I am learning Japanese slowly, and have watched this particular series many many times to keep my basic practice. Thank you for putting up new ones too. Describe this series? LOVE IT
jim bow Ikimasen means "To not go" so Ikimasen is Not going and Ikimasu means To Go...Ikimasu is basically saying your going and Ikmasen means you are not going :P Hope that helped...
She never clearly states what "shigoto ni ikimasu ka?" and "pati ni ikimasu ka?" mean. Do they mean "Do you go to the party?", "Are you going to the party?", "Do I go to the party?"? It never says who it's talking about. Google Translate said it was the first option, but since when is that ever accurate?
shigoto (shimasu) = (to) work. In japanese, pronouns are not commonly used. The same phrase can be used to ask: do you, do we, do I. This is valid for present and future tense.
usually when you ask, its always about the listener since you wouldnt ask another person if you are going cause you would know the answer,, maybe asking if you can go to the party, which is another case... and sometimes if another person was talked about earlier, then the question is about that person, since japanese always omits words and phrases already said earlier if it connects to the second or following sentences.... ikimasu can actually mean, to go or will go...it is never accurate, unless you would know the context of the conversation...
@@GingFreecss17 So you mean I'll use "paati ni ikamasu ka ?" for "Are you going to the party?" and "Are they going to the party" or "Is she going to the party?" etc. ??? How do you know who you're talking about then ?
Context. If you think about it you'll probably see that pronouns are often not necessary in speech as it's usually clear who is being spoken about. Japanese does have pronouns though, such as 'watashi ' for 'I' and 'anata' for 'you' but they aren't used nearly as frequently.
+Psycho Metalya Or asking in general if someone is going to the party. Like turning to your friend and asking pati ni ikimasu ka? -Are you going to the party?
No... As far as my Japanese goes, when you put "ka", your asking, which implies someone else there... Meaning: "pati ni ikimasu" = *I'll* go to the party "pati ni ikimasu ka" = *You*'ll go to the party?
+Rafaela XmetalyaX Mendes Just wanted to add... sometimes you ask yourself something right? For example....should I go to the party? If you want this you can say "Kana" after a sentence. For example... "samui" means cold. "Samuikana" means - I wonder if it's cold... So Pati ikimasu kana... - Wonder if go to the party Can be about yourself or others
Yes! When she says "(negative) to go", she means "I am not going."

I had no idea of what I was getting myself into when I said I wanted to learn Japanese. But I'm sure it'll get easier the more I practice.
I know right!
The first 2 lessons were easy 3rd was kinda easy, but then this one... You need to jam it into your head.

Same!
same but I find It pretty easy
probably because I learned French first and French is pretty hard with all its rules n stuff

Both sound the same ("ni"), but they have two different meanings. The "ni" in to go is not the "ni" for two.
What does "ni" mean ..not two but the other meaning?
I want to say it means "the"
Like in "kino pati ni ikimashita ka" I translated it to "did you go to the party yesterday?" 'did you go to' would be 'ikimashita' the question is 'ka' and party is pati, yesterday is kino, so the would be ni?
Nevermind, I watched a couple more episodes and you explained there 😅 arigatou
depāto ni ikimasu : im going to the department store
ikemasen negative
ikimasu positive
ikimashita past form
ikimasen deshita negative past
shigoto - work
pāti - party
eki : station
pāti ni ikimasu ka? are you going to the party?
hai ikimasu, yes im going
iie ikimasen : no im not going
kyou - today
kino : yesterday
ashita - tomorrow

If you want to say "I am going to the *insert place*", then you would say "Watashi wa *insert place* he ikimasu." You wouldn't really use "watashi wa ikimasu" on its own.
In this comment, what does the "he" particle indicate. Also loved the vid
@@cole-dh8nh i think the particle he indicates the direction (go) or ( towards) so you put it after the place you’re going to and before the ikimasu?
So to say "I am going to the station" is it "Watashi wa eki he? ni? ikimasu" is it he or ni?

+Psycho Metalya Or asking in general if someone is going to the party. Like turning to your friend and asking pati ni ikimasu ka? -Are you going to the party?
+Hana No Kamisama ok thank you!
Going to the party? Think of it like that.
No... As far as my Japanese goes, when you put "ka", your asking, which implies someone else there...
Meaning:
"pati ni ikimasu" = *I'll* go to the party
"pati ni ikimasu ka" = *You*'ll go to the party?
+Rafaela XmetalyaX Mendes Just wanted to add... sometimes you ask yourself something right? For example....should I go to the party?
If you want this you can say "Kana" after a sentence.
For example... "samui" means cold.
"Samuikana" means - I wonder if it's cold...
So Pati ikimasu kana... - Wonder if go to the party
Can be about yourself or others
She is fantastic! I really enjoy her lessons!
