There are several components to learning Japanese easily . A place I found that successfully combines these is the Fergs magic blueprint (check it out on google) definately the best resource i've seen. Look at all the super info .
Finally someone with authority say it. You can't learn japanese from anime. It's like wanting to learn proper english from Spongebob. Thank you so much for this series. I'm boosting my knowledge ^^
Sam SSF I know right? Look, I deleted some troll comment of salty kids that don't agree with us. But listen; If the TEACHERS say that anime is not the way to learn japanese, and I can confirm that cause I'm a languaje teacher myself and I went 3 times to Japan...and then some salty 12 year olds come to say I am wrong?? Is almost funny
+Arlekin Vergeltungswaffe Not sure why you deleted my comment since I tried to be respectful but I still disagree a little bit. I see where you are coming from and why someone would say you cannot learn Japanese from anime - but I feel like watching anime has really increased the joy I get for learning Japanese and when I hear something in anime that I do not understand, it inspires me to look it up, furthering my comprehension. Yes, anime may teach foreigners some things that in real life should not be said or done but personally, I think watching anime can be a wonderful aid in learning Japanese, as long as people are cautionary about some of the actions they want to replicate. It just should not be the only resource used to learn Japanese. I think there is a distinction that is lacking: anime may not be a good tool to learn how to speak and act in Japanese culture, but it can certainly help a person learn more Japanese.
+Arlekin Vergeltungswaffe I dont completely agree , I think you can definitely learn some japanese from animes , but you cannot master it , by only watching anime ,
Clear and helpful. I'll be in Japan tomorrow. "Arigato", 감사합니다, Muchas gracias, Dunka shein, Merci-vocu, Gratci, abrigado, Kusukuroo, Shey-Shey, Thank you! (sorry for incorrect spelling, I just tried my own spellings ahha)
*Merci beaucoup I think you might make some native French speakers laugh because "vocu", with a French accent, is pronounced like " vos culs" wich means "your asses".
Guys Watch Detective Conan It's amazing It shows you tons of things about their culture Aaanndd I became really familiar with the way Japanese people pronounce their words (as well as how to say thank You/ really/ I'm sorry (in two different ways) and tons of other things)
I will be resubscribing to continue lessons soon. I hadn't quite finished the Absolute Beginner section, but have already used a lot of it here in Utsunomiya, Tochigi. Thank you for your video's, they're great!
I love how japanese as an audible question mark because sometimes here there are sentences where you're like was that a question or are they just saying it?
Hey, everyone! Thanks, JapanesePod101! This series was a fantastic way to getting back into seriously learning the language! Where does everyone recommend going from here? I was thinking hiragana and on to katakana and some basic kanji but what do you all think?
5:38 oofff...with just a short length of time you can learn so many things...now I know domo really means it is only used in comedic shows 😂 expectation vs reality
I'm trying so hard, but I thought I was alone only to see my friend bust through the door saying "WHAT ANIME YOU WATCHING?!?...wait was that you? you freaking sound like an anime girl" i'm crying please send help.
So would it make sense, if I didn't know how to say something in Japanese but let's say I have a brochure or picture and I said wa doko desu ka and pointed to the picture?
What would happend if you want to know where a group of many things are? Do you add a "S" at the end?for example how would you say "Where is the watermelons?" in japanese?
The above poster is correct; there is no distinction between singular and plural like that in Japanese. Also no difference between present and future tense. It can be confusing to us foreigners, for sure, but all natural languages have their quirks.
+Sharif Sircar You sumimasen when the situation is more casual and gomenasai when it's more serious. More example you say sumimasen when you accidentally bump into someone. And for gomenasai, and example would be if you break something that belongs to someone else, And since breaking someone's stuff is more serious, you say gomenasai
MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN A LIE!? AND I THOUGHT ANIME WAS MY ONLY FRIEND 😭 Anyways, I applied for an Assistant Language Teaching position in Japan. That’s why I really want to learn Japanese.
why u use katakana when u write train station, bathroom, Tokyo station , and wadokodesuka hiragana. Will it be wrong if I will use hiragana to write the place ? or I must use katakana ?
+Julia Koshbaevna They didn't. Only "Hiruton Hoteru" and "Konbini" were in kata but that's because they adapt the words from Hilton Hotel and Convenience. There rest were in Hira and Kanji.
Julia Koshbaevna It's mostly all Kanji. Nouns are written in Kanji while Verbs and Adjectives also require some extra Hiragana, which are called Okurigana, along side the Kanji. Kata is for borrowed words and some Japanese names that can't be written in Kanji, and Hira is mostly just for conjunctions and some words which if you wrote in Kanji would be considered pretentious such as "kudasai".
I'm really glad finding free way to learn japanese right.

how has it been. are you fluent yet? was it it hard? lol just wondering
When your favourite japanese tv shows or anime doesn't have any subs, it's time to learn japanese
Hahaha😂
🤣
I have to whisper everything because my brother will make fun of me (~_~;)
+Megan Thats a confidence booster~ Thanks :3
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol kinda the same for me, my family is in the kitchen while in in the sitting room whispering everything,
@@Fau. surely you are not an adult , be more confident, fuck what others think

Sam SSF Exactly what I'm saying. Can be used for motivational purposes, but not like a tool for learning.
***** And I deleted your comment cause I'm not interested in debate with someone on the internet. I'm not commeting to debate

I'VE BEEN LEARNING IT ALL WROOOONG
NANDE ANIMU?! NANDE?
It's so funny because my nickname is Nanda and when i watch anime I always hear it like that xD
+myroom studios I'm sure that must feel uncomfortable xD
I mean technically you can learn Japanese that most Japanese would understand, it would just be awkward, cringey, and exaggerated.
Excellent presenters; quite motivational.
6:20 smooth, real smooth
Risa ありがとう for your advice. One more time thanks for this Japanese lesson.
After all these videos, I'm beginning to wonder whether Alisha can speak even Japanese or any other language aside English. xD
Thank you so much, very helpful. I'm actually learning and having fun! You are both very good teachers.
I say these words under my breath because I'm at work ,which is the only time I have available to learn 😅.BUT I WILL PERSEVERE!
Same here, haha, I'm taking Latin and Japanese..😟it's too much...
Hi! I wanted to know if you made any progress? 🙈 I hope you did!

It shows you tons of things about their culture

You guys are great teachers, seriously! ^-^
my Japanese skills どこですか
am I the only one who thinks the R/L character sounds like D?
No! I've also thought of that! But I suppose it's somewhat softer than a D
I will be resubscribing to continue lessons soon. I hadn't quite finished the Absolute Beginner section, but have already used a lot of it here in Utsunomiya, Tochigi. Thank you for your video's, they're great!
You guys are awesome! I will watch these videos every day! 👍🏽 :-)

ありがとう
Wasn't it "Toukyou". Only the second "O" was long in the video :D. Obviously, Risa pronounced it as such, but the spelling was a bit misleading.
ありがと. That's so useful. Thank you very much.
+TFTD. thank u , I understood it only now 👍
+TFTD arigateu or arigatou
+jjesss064 ありがとう
TFTD spelt it wrong
Excellent!
This is Amazing! Love it
Thanks
These videos are fantastic! Thank you!!!!
thank you from this video.
love it....excited to learn more...arigatou
I love these so much
My reaction when the she says that words in Anime are not used in daily life:
Gagantous!!!
Thanks for the lessons. 😄
ありがとう！！:3
It's really great and useful
next episode pleaseee thank you
Risa in Spanish is Laughter
It doesn't sound very Japanese does it?
Of F- it means laughter too in Italian, in Italian it is "risa/risata/risate" now that you make me think about it I am wheezing
I fucking love risa's accent.
Muchas Gracia. Thank you very much.
I can already do a decent accent, so now for the language, then the grammar
"My Husband Does Not Fit" on Netflix seems to have good Japanese for learners to watch. 😲
5:38 oofff...with just a short length of time you can learn so many things...now I know domo really means it is only used in comedic shows 😂 expectation vs reality
I like Risa.
ありがとうございます :)
whats next after this?
But I watched an episode of japan-easy by NHK world and they mentioned domo as a useful word, which is the correct one?
Can u plz continue this
I'm trying so hard, but I thought I was alone only to see my friend bust through the door saying "WHAT ANIME YOU WATCHING?!?...wait was that you? you freaking sound like an anime girl" i'm crying please send help.
Arigato!
Where have you been Risa?
I ever learned Japanese when I was in Highschool. But I just remember a little words in Japanese.
Risa is so cute!
wondering why would anyone dislike this
what are some good vidoes/movies to watch that have useful Japanese that we can try to learn from?
ありがと！LOL!
ホテルはどこですか？
I LIKE
So would it make sense, if I didn't know how to say something in Japanese but let's say I have a brochure or picture and I said wa doko desu ka and pointed to the picture?
Yes. There's a subscriber who has a book for travelers to Japan that suggested that if you can't pronounce Japanese well. It has pictures in it.
No it wouldn't work like that, but the person would still get it.
You did a awesome job with this video. Can you recommand me some movies/video from I can learn more? :D
How easy is to learn Japanese I mean how many days months or year's have to take to learn not perfect bat good Japanese?
*Already knows most of this because I'm a weeaboo*
...
Awesome in Blossom already knew all of this cuz i‘m an OTAKUU
When’s the lesson where Risa teaches us the lyrics to crossing field? :-)
Is it too formal to ask: "[bathroom] wa doko ni arimasu ka" ?
Also, is O-tearai and Toire interchangable?
contemporary videos = Terrace House! :)
hahhah 90% of the subscribers are otakus lol
I certainly am.
+minepet nice:)
i am an otaku but i am going to japan for 3 weeks soon so... might as well learn xD
+Ellie Creasey take me with you plzzz 😭😭
+Haidara Suliman Haha Otaku XD
arigotō
Arigato
Can anyone name the background music?
What would happend if you want to know where a group of many things are? Do you add a "S" at the end?for example how would you say "Where is the watermelons?" in japanese?
I don't think words can be plural in Japanese.
The above poster is correct; there is no distinction between singular and plural like that in Japanese. Also no difference between present and future tense. It can be confusing to us foreigners, for sure, but all natural languages have their quirks.
could I use えき in place of 駅 or would it be just more correct or common to use 駅 ?
Omae wa mou shindeiru !
Nani ?!?!
By the time I decide if I want to learn Japanese, I'll be 50% fluent from watching these vids. Day 3...
駅はどこですか
What does on be iroki yamashironi sowaka mean?
Hello.
Please tell me if the strike is important while learning Kanji. Is it necessary to draw the Kanji with the order shown or does it not matter?
Both kanji and kana should be written in the proper stroke order. It would be a very bad habit to get into to not use proper order.
holy crap im japanese now
🤣 im a japanese god after watching this video
When do we use ごめんなさい?
+Sharif Sircar You sumimasen when the situation is more casual and gomenasai when it's more serious.
More example you say sumimasen when you accidentally bump into someone.
And for gomenasai, and example would be if you break something that belongs to someone else,
And since breaking someone's stuff is more serious, you say gomenasai
Chad Hefner Thank you so much,definitely cleared it up
Sharif Sircar Your welcome :D. Although I had so many typos in that paragraph and I didn't even notice them until now lol
Chad Hefner No problem,the number of times I had to edit my comment in the past due to mistakes is probably close to triple digits
Sharif Sircar Haha I feel ya
whats the endsong called??
ホテルわどこですかあ
hello everyone
can anyone tell me which song is that at the beginning if this video??
thank you in advance
so I watch terrace house on netflix can I learn japanese from that?

Anyways, I applied for an Assistant Language Teaching position in Japan. That’s why I really want to learn Japanese.

mistake #1 ANIMEEE
こんにちは :) Could anyone please tell me if this says I can not wait? 私は待つことができません
That would translate to something more like "I am incapable of waiting."
+kinpatu Ah that's annoying, but thank you!
why u use katakana when u write train station, bathroom, Tokyo station , and wadokodesuka hiragana. Will it be wrong if I will use hiragana to write the place ? or I must use katakana ?
katakana is for forgien words, like ピザ
+Julia Koshbaevna They didn't. Only "Hiruton Hoteru" and "Konbini" were in kata but that's because they adapt the words from Hilton Hotel and Convenience. There rest were in Hira and Kanji.
+MSP Redgrave and when we use kanji ?

Kata is for borrowed words and some Japanese names that can't be written in Kanji, and Hira is mostly just for conjunctions and some words which if you wrote in Kanji would be considered pretentious such as "kudasai".
+MSP Redgrave Thank you very much🙏. There are too many alphabets that my mind is going crazy.

what is "my glasses" in japanese
also am i the only one that filled up an entire paper with notes while watching this
god my hand hurts :(
If you haven't figured it out in these past five months hah, it's watashi no megane (megane being glasses)
When you say the word 'desu' in 'wa doko desu ka', is the letter u silent? It sounds like from the way she says it that it is silent.
Yes you aren't supposed to say the 'u'
you say u in desu but it's very very silent one
What's up Jiminie
