He pulled out a corn out of nowhere 😂😂😂. I've been watching these videos for a few months now and they have drastically improved my comprehension. Thanks a million, I hope you make more
you prolly dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my gf lately =)
I found this extremely beneficial to my learning. What I find very odd is the lack of views. My guess is that this channel needs to be advertised more. I really appreciate what you're doing so much. My wife and I have also started a channel also. Maybe one-day we could collaborate or something.
I think these are the absolute best Japanese learning videos I've seen on youtube. I found your channel a week ago, by looking for italki tutor videos out of curiosity. I've watched all these conversation videos and sometimes I pick up words thanks to this system. Also, it allows me to window-shop my tutors lol. I wish other languages I'm at a lower level at had content like this. I always agreed with Krashen, I agree with your opinion N5 of JLPT. I love that this channel is so different and so.. damn good. I'm super excited when I see a new session uploaded because I always get a few words here and there. Comprehensible input focused videos. I'm an intermediate in Japanese so this content doesn't bombard me with new information, but eases new words into my vocabulary. It's so subtle and natural.. really an i +1 situation.
Thanks for your comment. Initially these videos were just for my beginner students to get extra input. But the difficulty kind of extended to i + 10 or so, especially with all the random vocab. But for stronger beginners / intermediates I'm sure it hits i + 1 a lot.
These videos are the best I have seen in very long time. I have been studying japanese now for about 2 years and this is much fun to watch, easy to understand and you get to learn a lot of new words. Especially the velocity of speech is very nice and not so super fast as most other videos. Thank you very much!!
Sensei...konnichiwa... arigatou gozaimasu.. The way you teach is lovely... This is the one I was searching and your video is very good to learn words n conversation. And your videos are colorful too.... Keep it up....pl do more with subtitles to learn more unknown words
Thanks for these videos, there aren't a lot of videos like this out there. I was surprised how easy I found this to understand but I guess you guys are speaking pretty slowly and clearly in short sentences. In real life the people speak so quietly and fast and not clearly and they use a lot of colloquialisms. Nice video description haha.
Benjiro you got very easy to follow videos. Pronunciation is excellent, not to fast not to slow. I can understand almost everything just a few words here and there that I need to pause and look up. Excellent work, keep it up.
Thanks. Great comprehensible input! I am understanding maybe 50 percent or more with vocabulary support. This kind of listening is essential for me when I get burned out on trying to learn grammar, verb forms and “phrases you must know”
most of the time i bring tea or coffee with cake or biscuit when I'm teaching my students Arabic or English however, it never occurred to me to bring corn lol I have to respect that ahaha
That was great! Yoko-さん was very talkative and well suited for this kind of conversation. Although it definitely was "hard" at times keeping up with the topics, but the keywords definitely helped there. Also regarding the description,. Does she actually work at 7-11? It sounded to me like she then said she works at a sushi restaurant, but I might have not paid enough attention in the beginning. Cheers
I spotted that and came to the comments to bring the note to Benjiro's attention! I've been in Japan 1 month and this collection of conversation vids is super helpful to move me on from learning basic expressions to using the language practically. Well done!
I really like this video a lot more than the others because you stopped going "Have you ever done this or that" or "Do you want to become this or that" and yeah I get that is for your beginners practice of those structures lol And also the conversation was a bit more fun because she talked about more interesting topics. I enjoyed the North Korean discussion lol I would love if you would just talk with Japanese people like this and not hold back even more .. it would really help the intermediates/advanced people out.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree. We deliberately hold back a lot of language (and thus naturalness) when we do these conversations. At least, when I try and keep them super simple. However, I think the demand for real beginner level stuff is greater than that for intermediate and above. Real intermediates can glean stuff from actual native level content (and channels like Yuta's are great for that) - but beginners can't get much from that. I guess my vids are a mixture of levels. I should probably label them as such.
Yeah I pretty much study only from real content.. soo many Japanese UA-camrs out there nowadays ...also study from anime and from reading stuff on my Japanese Kindle BUT everything seems more i+2 not i+1 :-( I always find the grammar everywhere to be easy but the vocab ...now that mountain is hard to climb!!! BC you either know it or you don't and sometimes its hard to even get from context.
I agree with this. So hard to find stuff I can understand at this level. The jump to intermediate is considerable I feel. Also find it hard to understand people not using the -masu form (which is most of the time when watching dramas and anime it seems).
Benjiro, you have yourself a new subscriber! I love your videos! They help my Japanese very much and they're interesting! (= Thank you for putting these up!
That bc they are speaking at a lower level with easy vocab and at a slower pace. In a more realistic setting, ppl will slur their words and speak fast. They will also use more advanced vocabulary and colloquial phrases
I really appreciate these videos. however, it's surprising his mic quality is always worse than there's even they are always using a normal earphones. i wish he just used a normal earphones instead of his current mic.
I find it surprising that she said the Saudi international students were wearing traditional clothes. This is usually very rare (half my family is Saudi, and I've been immersed in the international student community for many, many years), particularly for guys (most wear jeans etc like anyone else, even a lot of the girls do). I do wonder if it is a kind of observer bias ie people see many more saudis than they think, but because they aren't wearing traditional clothes they assume they're not Saudi (like often happens for my family). It's like how people describe to me that all muslim women wear a headscarf. We don't, and not even every woman wearing a headscarf is muslim.
Love these videos. One small thing is I would love if he used kanji rather than romaji. (My solution is to type it simultaneously so i get to see the kanji)
Hi Benjiro, thanks again for this excellent lesson. I'm currently struggling away with Japanese, particularly in finding content I can understand 80-90% of, so this is absolutely perfect. I am a little curious as to why you take notes in romanji? Is it just simply to save time, or is there some other method to it? I can see some benefit to this since I have friends who learned Chinese in pinyin to speed up the initial process, whereas I learned characters which was obviously time consuming (am fluent now and can read but honestly I couldn't write them by hand to save my life). Obviously there are some parallels between the two languages that allow me to 'cheat' with Kanji sometimes, but am curious as to your opinion of learning vocabulary in Romanji first?
The reason I use romaji is because I want the translations to be readable to the most amount of people. If I used kana/kanji then a segment of the viewers would have difficulty identifying what word I'm translating. If I were self-learning Japanese from zero, I would learn the scripts first, so I would not bother much with learning lots of vocab via romaji.
Of course there is always the one arrogant sounding person, today it's me.. But I don't feel this is "hard" Japanese. I'm far from fluent but this is tame, clear Japanese, even for lower intermediate.
i spend all this year learning more japanese, i have now 3 years, and i think i have the same level... japanese is hard... By the way... Que bonita japonesa!!!!
Taking someone to a religious place or event without their agreement via deception is absolutely disrespectful of another's beliefs and WRONG. As a religious person I can't stand when other religious people do such things. It's cruel, disrespectful, and frankly devious (against the teachings of all the religions I have studied, at least). Moreover, it makes all of us look bad.
He pulled out a corn out of nowhere 😂😂😂. I've been watching these videos for a few months now and they have drastically improved my comprehension. Thanks a million, I hope you make more
i was looking for this comment
I was laughing way too hard when it happened.
My boss: Don't drink water when having videocalls with Japanese, it's rude.
Benjiro: *eats corn*
you prolly dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my gf lately =)
@Landry Mark Yea, been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :)
I found this extremely beneficial to my learning. What I find very odd is the lack of views. My guess is that this channel needs to be advertised more. I really appreciate what you're doing so much.
My wife and I have also started a channel also. Maybe one-day we could collaborate or something.
agreed
Ya very true.... He is like really awesome

Please consider making more videos!
And thank you for the ones you've posted already!
Can't Thank you enuff for all your great work. I'm basically binge watching all Benjiro vids!!!

We are still listening this in 2021.
Benjiro San please start these kaiwa session again, we love these videos a lot.
どうもありがとうございました。
お願いします

Benjiro is not interacting or replying to these kinds of requests. We hope he's still alive though. These videos were uploaded 5 years ago!
These videos are the best I have seen in very long time. I have been studying japanese now for about 2 years and this is much fun to watch, easy to understand and you get to learn a lot of new words.

The way you teach is lovely...

"Yoko works part time at 7-11" lol
Thanks. Great comprehensible input! I am understanding maybe 50 percent or more with vocabulary support. This kind of listening is essential for me when I get burned out on trying to learn grammar, verb forms and “phrases you must know”
Once again, thank you so much for this. It was very helpful and interesting.
I hope you keep making these videos man. They are so so so so so good for learning
that was so funny when he asked her if she rode a kangaroo lol

Good job keep it up sensei 🙏

You are correct. I just wanted to see who would watch beyond the first minute and pick up on that.
I spotted that and came to the comments to bring the note to Benjiro's attention! I've been in Japan 1 month and this collection of conversation vids is super helpful to move me on from learning basic expressions to using the language practically. Well done!
Thanks Yoko and teacher you guys wonderful love both of you

べんじろさん、why did you stop?
Somehow, I understand what they are talking about. But having hard time understanding japanese movies without japanese subtitles.
That bc they are speaking at a lower level with easy vocab and at a slower pace.
In a more realistic setting, ppl will slur their words and speak fast. They will also use more advanced vocabulary and colloquial phrases
陽子がいちばんです She speaks soooo clearly. 弁次郎さん、ありがとうね
Dear Benjiro san, your videos are very useful for Japanese language beginners.
Please continue and post more videos.
I really appreciate these videos. however, it's surprising his mic quality is always worse than there's even they are always using a normal earphones. i wish he just used a normal earphones instead of his current mic.
I'm wondering if he prepares the teachers at all before going into the lesson or just connects and start asking questions..
thankkk youuuuu soooooooooooo much for these video conversations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How's still watching his channel ? I learnt alot from his videos and trying to speak in Japanese in my youtube channel
I find it surprising that she said the Saudi international students were wearing traditional clothes.

This is very good channel to learn speak japanese
Love these videos. One small thing is I would love if he used kanji rather than romaji. (My solution is to type it simultaneously so i get to see the kanji)

Benjiro Yeh, guess I was just looking for an excuse to be lazy!
A successful and helpful channel, and yet hasnt posted in years… sometimess life is confusing lol. Unless hes dead, in which case I apologize
I love your videos. They're very entertaining. Are you planning on doing videos with more advanced Japanese?
Love you two

The dude ate a corn he dont a fuck , re-use the video
Extremely beneficial for learning. BUT NOT HARD
I lol'd when he pulled the corn out
Of course there is always the one arrogant sounding person, today it's me.. But I don't feel this is "hard" Japanese. I'm far from fluent but this is tame, clear Japanese, even for lower intermediate.
It's not for intermediate students though. It clearly says "beginner Japanese". For beginners this is hard.
My work starts at 7.30 am in japan 😄
