    Jeremy, I just want to say that my Japanese journey started with following your videos about 7 years ago. I learned the very basics from you.
    Today, I am studying for the N1 certification test and was admitted to a graduate program in Matsuyama. Never take these down.
    Thanks for everything Jeremy.

I can read and write Japanese and speak with natives. It's all because you made this video and told me not to be a bitch and puss out.

      It's because this is internet and everyone knows this was made sarcastically, so whatever he swears at us he doesn't really means any of it.. But irl it's gonna be serious everytime because that's what we're taught, to be serious everytime, and if someone teaches like that irl we would think they mean every ounce of it.. So maybe if a teacher wanna pull this off irl, they must be smart enough to at least notify the students once that they don't mean anything they swear at us and is just for fun..

    @charmanderblitz hiragana is the main way of writing alongside kanji and whatnot. katakana has the exact same syllables as hiragana, but it uses different, sharper looking characters. katakana is used mostly in TV, manga, and often in writing foreign words.

    Thanks for the hiragana lesson. Very useful. As for finding a new favorite word to say every so often to humble your pupils. I say, Don't be a quitter!
