Once again I'm not a professional teacher and I only show "some" samples. Please note that there may be words that I don't include in my videos because I think they're very informal or not so necessary for beginner learners🫡
Helping verbs? not subject or object particles? or particles to indicate date/time/place? even if taking the above points into place, the real verbs are often placed at the back of the sentence (which korean language is influenced by as well). just to note.
I wish my Japanese is half as good as your English. Your English is very fluent. Your video explanation is clear and very helpful for Japanese learners. Subscribed! お疲れさまでした🙇♀️
Hey, nice video! Approaching learning a language from this perspective is really underrated, so it’s nice to see someone willing to put out videos like this. I would like to add a few points, if you don’t mind. Unless one knows what one is doing, it’s _very_ easy to just make things even more confusing when trying to teach the difference between は and が. As someone who’s never studied Japanese formally, you’re probably unaware of this, but は is considered a topic marker/particle. It marks the topic of a sentence, which can be pretty much anything, and isn’t limited to the subject. が, on the other hand, is a subject marker. It marks the subject of a sentence. If that was the end of it, it wouldn’t be too difficult to understand them, but は and が also each perform other functions and carry other nuances as well. Trying to teach an English speaker the concept of topic is like trying to teach someone who’s spent their whole life around the equator the theory of skiing - they’ve never seen snow in their life, and they may not even know what a ‘ski’ is. Trying to imagine something one has no concept of is difficult, to put it mildly. All we can do is give some pointers, to nudge them in the right direction, but the bulk of the work needs to be done by the person themselves, by seeing はand が in natural use in thousands of different contexts. On that note, a few clarifying points: ● While が can be said to emphasise the subject, so can は, because it’s contrastive. (Trust me, you don’t wanna walk up to a pretty girl at a party and say 目はきれい. If you do, you will _wish_ you could leave in a casket.) ● One way to think about が is that it answers a question. Questions can’t contain は, only が, and the answers to those questions similarly must use が. 「誰が来たの？」「メアリーが来た。」〜「いつがいい？」「今がいい。」 ● Just to drive home what I’ve been talking about when it comes to は and が in this comment, consider these two sentences: 友達は来たとき、酔っていた。 友達が来たとき、酔っていた。 What is the difference between these two sentences? Here is a hint: In each of the sentences, who came, and who is drunk? If you think you know the answer, drop a reply to this comment. ● Explaining 死んでいる is actually quite easy. 〜でいる and 〜ている simply marks the continuous, same as -ing in English. (e.g. 走っている。‘Running.’ ) The only difference from English is that it can also mark a state. If the verb is an event, and not an action that can be continued (like running), it simply says that whatever/whoever is in that state. A few examples: 結婚している。‘Married. (In the state resulting from marrying.)’ 死んでいる。‘Dead. (In the state resulting from dying.)’ 韓国に行ってる。‘In Korea. (In the state resulting from going to Korea.)’ まだ食べてない。‘Not eaten yet. (Still in the state of “not eating.”)’ At the end of the day, I find that having things translated as literally as possible is much more insightful when it comes to learning languages, as it brings you closer to how the target language actually works. Hopefully, someone found this comment helpful. By the way, if Tumi is reading this, your English pronunciation and intonation are seriously good! (And at 8:03, this is not past tense. Have/has + is called the present perfect. It’s used to express a past event that has consequences in the present (e.g. ‘I have opened the window.’ ‘I have baked muffins.’). There is some overlap with the Japanese 〜ている, but it's not quite the same. If anything, it might be like some selective mix of 〜ている and 〜てある.)
Really great video, thank you! I feel lucky I found you, I finished the video and thought you were probably going to have 100k+ subscribers but actually it’s under 1000! You explain things very well and the pace is great, for me at least. I subscribed and I look forward to seeing future videos! Thank you! 😊
Hey I found your video in the recommended and it was really good! i subscribed and I am excited to see more of your videos. Your English is also really good :) I can't wait to see more of you
As an "expert" (self-proclaimed) otaku, there is another version of "you", and that is "temee" てめえ, which is the highest form of cussing in saying "you"
Your English is on point. You articulate your points extremely well, very relatable too. We can def teach you some slang there's so much integration between all languages and it's only getting easier for people to learn.. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO... WOOWOOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO1111111!!!!!! 5555555555 😅
I liked the way this information was explained in detail. Besides, you're accent is cleaner, which makes it easier to understand for people like me who aren't a native speaker. ¡Buen video! 😂❤
Thank you I'm glad if it helped😁 And yes I'm trying to improve my accent hehe. Just like people trying to learn Japanese I'm learning English too everyday✨
Whoa what app are you using to make the cool document/charts? I use Apple Freeform which is similar but you don’t get a grid with lines like here, only either equally spaced dots all over or just white
I guess that's an issue only for English speakers as they can't imagine forming sentences without "you" and "I"... but, because I'm a Spanish speaker, our verbs already carry who is referring to, who is doing the action, etc giving enough context. I'll suggest English speakers to practice that as much as possible.
This is broken down in a way that's a lot different from what I normally see. Your channel will really blow up if you keep making learning videos for sure!
Hey thank you so much😳 I'm glad if my videos could provide fun & unique learning experience for people! Will definitely keep making this kind of videos👍🏻
It's interesting how wa, ga and desu are not standarized when teaching Japanese. Some people, as myself, have learned that those don't have a real translation, but there are others who teach that wa, ga and desu mean "is/are".
Desu is not a helping verb like is/are but I understand it's translated that way sometimes. And also wa/ga loses solid meaning / translation depending on the context! I will make video about desu / masu next time🫡
i would say that the "past tense" / "-ed" in english is more like japanese 〜た (or 〜ていた／〜でいた). for 死んでいる, "dead" is not a past tense, it is talking about the state that it is in. past tense would be closest to 死んでいた maybe? the past tense of "die" in english is "died", which you can see has "-ed" in it. so, you were correct that "-ed" is a past tense, but 〜ている／〜でいる is different-"is dead" (present continuous) not "died" (past)
Actually a bit of a weird question but i'm surprised your English is like actually insanely good (good enough to understand you and i'd say close to fluency, but also better than most Japanese people I see who speak English) how did you learn it? I assume in school or something right? I remember watching a video though saying that Japanese people don't like learning English or that they barely know anything besides basic greetings, I don't know if what the video was saying was true but because of it, whenever I see someone who can speak English that's Japanese i'm impressed. Are the education systems in Japan focused heavily on teaching English? I heard everytime they try to focus harder on learning English and putting more resources like money and effort into helping children learn English in Japan, the children (the specific generation) get's worse at it as a whole, like if the government in Japan put more resources into children learning English I heard they understand it less, I have no idea if it's true.
I find considering wa/ga as is/are quite misleading, even though I admit it simplifies things a lot for beginners. Btw, for those interested: wa/ga definitely are not verbs. They are particles indicating that the previous word is the topic/subject of the sentence. She's just treating them as verbs because it makes the grammar easier. All the rest is totally OK.
The -ing form is a present participle/present continuous and yes something that has happened is the past tense. Never thought English is difficult until the need to explain the word forms lmao
I'm starting to get the hang of the "ga" particle being the specifier. If you were to say "Neko ga iru" you're specifying that one cat you saw pass by, feel free to correct me. I'm taking baby steps with this language and I have a long and I mean looooong way to go, lol.
уже читаю, медленно, кантакану, но путаюсь между si и tsu. хирангану ещё только первые две строки запомнил из таблицы азбуки. словарный запас до 20 шт. слов.
Sure! Thanks for giving me idea☺️ I'm actually interested to play Ryuuga Gotoku! Is there any quote you want me to explain? If you're not sure I will choose hehe

とてもいいビデオだ。「きみ」が礼儀正しいとは知らなかった。
Teaching Japanese from anime is a great idea actually 🎉
Thank you!! Being an otaku led me to do this🥰

I am a villian, so I can say kisama
Make sure you say it very aggressively
@tumigotchi I'm not sure that's possible via text 😅
hahaha just use ALL CAPS🥴
The -ing form is a present participle/present continuous and yes something that has happened is the past tense. Never thought English is difficult until the need to explain the word forms lmao
nice video
Thank you😊

Nice! Just curious but how did you learn english? it is really good?
Thank you! I studied abroad for a while. But I'm still learning & trying improving my English😁

日本人です。勉強のため英語の動画を回していた所、あなたの動画にたどり着きました。どうやって現在の英語力にたどり着きましたか？
コメントありがとうございます！プライベートな事になってしまいますが、海外に住んでいたので話せるようになりました。でも私もまだまだ勉強中です！🫡
ありがとうございます。🙏 Tumiさんのビデオいいです。👍
私はイギリス人です。日本語を勉強しています、でもまだまだです。😵💫
こちらこそ、動画を観ていただきありがとうございます！
あなたの勉強に、すこしでも役に立てたら嬉しいです☺️
Very informative. 👍 You seem to have a Filipino accent.😅
Thank you!!😆
What about 死んでいた？would that work in this instance?
Thanks for teaching me Japanese ebonics 🙃
Park Shin Hye if she lived in Japan :
Oh i got a like ! Thanks 😆
I'm starting to get the hang of the "ga" particle being the specifier. If you were to say "Neko ga iru" you're specifying that one cat you saw pass by, feel free to correct me. I'm taking baby steps with this language and I have a long and I mean looooong way to go, lol.
Iru means something like "existing" but not that formal, so Neko ga iru is like "Cat is there"

у меня уровень японского....ещё не полностью запомнил катакану. и кое как читаю отдельные иероглифы на катакане.
уже читаю, медленно, кантакану, но путаюсь между si и tsu. хирангану ещё только первые две строки запомнил из таблицы азбуки.
словарный запас до 20 шт. слов.
eu sempre pensei que só "desu" significava "é , está", mas "wa" pode ser usado como "é, está" também? bom saber. :)
Sorry I tried to translate but I still don't get it😓 Would appreciate if you could write English version!
@@tumigotchi"I always thought only 'です' meant 'is,' but 'は' can be used as 'is' too? Good to know! :)
Ty for the vídeo
it is in fact called past tense
also can you do a quote from one of the yakuza games (it's called like a dragon in japanese, ryu ga gotoku I think) those games are my favorite
thank you for clarifying me!!
Sure! Thanks for giving me idea☺️ I'm actually interested to play Ryuuga Gotoku! Is there any quote you want me to explain? If you're not sure I will choose hehe
почему 終了 это тоже означает конец?
WHY does Japanese have SIX ways to say "you" 😩
Unfortunately this is not all haha but just remember first 4😆
And you don’t use them really as you drop pronouns you also just use their name when saying you if you have to include a pronoun
バリ島 から、よろしく
よろしくお願いします😊
There is not teme(手前)eeeeeee, you miss one to express "YOU" in Japanese~COOL~!
The only pronouns I need to know are 朕 for me and 卿 for you.
