    Sorry for my voice! I filmed this when I was ill ;;
    This time we'll learn how to say "to be like" in Japanese.

    Find out what the differences are!
    ◆ "らしい" as "apparently" / "I've heard"...
    • ②そう & らしい I've heard /...
    ◆ What does "ようとする" mean?

      She is really good. A lot of books won't really teach you these minute differences. I've kind of internalized some of them but it's nice to have the differences directly explained so you can know for sure.

    This lesson is a perfect example of why I watch you, Misa-sensei. I already knew these terms, but now I have a much more detailed understanding of their use, and learned something brand new as well (すぐ泣く)!

      it's the same for me! I already got a N3 but her lessons are just as useful! And the way she talks helps you with the hearing and it shows she intently do it so!
      I didn't know about the nuances about らしい either

    You're the best Japanese teacher of all time. I've reached a point where my struggles with Japanese language are defined by details (such as the differences pointed in this video, and also some "daily life" grammatical structures that I didn't learn in regular courses, like "んじゃない" or "ちゃう", that you also showed in other videos). Your channel is helping me A LOT. Thank you very much!! I'm starting to get my confidence back in Japanese language.

    I've been reading all sorts of books in prep for JLPT N4, I've used "you na/you ni" outside of the classroom and nobody corrected me. But now I understand when to use "you na/you ni". Only Misa sensei can dissect the nuances of Japanese, incredibly useful skills for daily conversation. Thank you

    I really needed to solidify my confidence in N4 and I've only watched a few of your videos so far and my speaking confidence has already approved so much! You answer so many questions not in the textbook, such as ぽい having a slightly negative connotation and らしい being more positive 😊.
    I will be binge watching this whole playlist then on to N3!

    I learned this from Neon Genesis Evangelion op: "zankoku na tenshi no you ni, shounen yo shinwa ni nare"
    as a matter of fact, this song is the one that motivated me to learn Japanese cos I noticed how simple the grammatical construction was
    I looked up lessons on youtube and I stumbled upon Misa-sensei's channel, and the rest is history

    I've been learning bits of Japanese on and off for a few years now, from text books and online resources, but I feel like I've truly understood much more from just watching a few of your videos in 24 hours.For example, I knew ~nasai was to ask to do something, but I had no idea it had a parental tone until I watched your videos. Thanks so much :O

    Another fun use of らしい is saying "This isn't like you..." If someone is acting weird, like they are saying mean things when they are usually really nice, you can say, "(name)らしくない
    !"

    Outside of expressions, there is 似ている, which is a verb that just means "to resemble". It's the continuous form of the verb 似る, but I suppose for these purposes you would want to use the continuous form.
