  • I'm trying something new with this fancy intro. I was inspired by one of my favorite UA-cam creators over at "Climate Town". I'm not where near as smooth as him, but I'll try to do more and improve. Also, I went hard core on the adding Japanese UA-cam videos as material.

      Love this new style actually. Intro did a really good job at hooking me into the topic. The walking around as you talked to the camera made it feel more professional in a way. Plus I like when you started walking backwards while talking of speaking and learning backwards xD
      I understand くて now, but tbh I'm still in the first book so a lot of the words in general were new to me. Still it was great learning a little something new from what I could understand. Definitely love this though. Personally think you should stick to this for future lessons.

I’ve gone from listening to your videos on the commute to my classes every morning to Japanese being the thing I’m going for. So thanks, I would’ve burned out and quit back when learning て form if not for your down-to-earth and fun style of teaching. And I know I don’t speak only for myself.

    Glad you adressed those 'UA-cam promise' videos, somehow those videos keep popping up in my suggestions. Everybody who studies Japanese know they're nonsense, yet they get a ton of views and positive reactions. I noticed the same in for example the Visual Novel subReddit where people keep claiming they studied Japanese for a year and now fully read Visual Novels in Japanese.
    Only learning the 2100 basic Kanji took me already a year to learn and it was intense to do it in that tempo.
    I'm studying for about 3 years now, several hours per day and while I can now read Intermediate level books - I still have to look up a lot and still encounter grammar that's new for me, despite having done N5 to N3.
    One thing I can't do is listen to Anime and understand it. Here and there I can understand some words but it's just way too fast to understand.
    I don't quite understand why some people keep making these 'Japanese is easy, just watch Anime' claims.

      Hi @DDB168. 起 くて doesn't work. I think perhaps you wanted to use くて as because since watched this video. When you want to say because, you have to use ので. And just 起 also doesn't work. It would be past tense in your context. So it should be 起きていたので. If you realy want to use くて, you should use 寝てない (didn't sleep) and change it to 寝てな. Thank you.

  • @sebastiendumais4246
    @sebastiendumais4246 24 дні тому +1

    Over time, I've come to understand that the "てー" form has no inherent translation into English (or there are too many... take your pick)..... you need to guess from context. What I've eventually understood is that the てー form allows the speaker to signal he/she wants to keep speaking and add more details to whatever was just said (in てー form).....

    • @CunoDante0
      @CunoDante0 23 дні тому

      Believe it or not, there actually IS a way to encapsulate the idea of the て form, but I haven't really seen it in any Japanese textbooks. If you've ever studied Latin, the て form has a nearly 1-to-1 match with the ABLATIVE GERUND. (Note, this is NOT the same as the English gerund.) I repeat, the ablative gerund in Latin is used in 90% of the same situations where the Japanese て form is used. This ablative gerund became the "-ando/endo" form of verbs in Romance languages like Spanish or Italian (i.e. "pensando", "dormendo").
      My Italian teacher stayed on us for misusing the "gerundio" as they call it. The "gerundio" in Latin/Romance languages and the て form in Japanese are all ADVERBS. Thus, it tells you HOW the main action is completed. (The English gerund/participle, on the other hands, is usually used like a noun or an adjective.) The て form does not mean "verbing", or "having verbed", or anything like that. It means "BY verbing" because it is explaining HOW you are doing the main action or under what conditions you are doing the main action.
      My Italian professor would correct me on this a lot, making sure I knew the difference between the two. (And I mean all of the extended uses of the "gerundio", not just its use in the progressive tenses.) Once I realized that the Japanese て form was doing all the exact same things as the "gerundio", it was the biggest aha moment I ever had in Japanese.
      So, て means "by doing this action, some other action can occur", or "due to this thing being true, then something else is able to occur". Usually, just saying "by verbing" covers the idea. However, when dealing with stative verbs such as adjectives and で (the て form of だ), it can mean either "by/due to being ___" OR "while being ___". (で even can get the extended meaning of "by means of" when used with nouns.) Either way, it's still explaining the conditions under which the main action takes place. Just remember it's always telling you HOW or UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS.
      Notice, that the "gerundio" in Latin/Romance languages doesn't inherently have a subject. And neither does the て form. And neither does "by verbing" in English. If I say "by going to Japan", that in and of itself doesn't tell you who is doing the action -- we have to keep listening in the sentence for the rest of the context to fill in that info. So then, in a complete statement, "By going to Japan, he can see Mt. Fuji", now we see who that condition is true for.
      This even holds true when using the て form as a command, because you're really just dropping off the ください (or some other appropriate verb of giving). So when you have してください, you are saying "by doing (it), (you) give to me" -- or more naturally in English, "please do it for me". But even if you drop the ください and you are only left with して, it still means "by doing (it)" with the ください part being implied.
      For something like 走って行く, you have "by running, I go". Again, the て form is just telling you HOW you carry out the main action. Even when you have and extended chain of て together to connect statements, this same idea is still underlying that. (For this reason, you may notice there is a difference sometimes in how a native Japanese person will string sentences together vs. how you might do it, because て doesn't exactly mean "and", but rather explains HOW. In some cases, a string of multiple "hows" can make sense; but in other cases, it won't, and that's where Japanese people would express the idea in a different way.)
      I hope this made some kind of sense.

    I really can't fathom anyone learning from anime, TV, etc. They just speak way too fast for me to comprehend what words/sounds they are making. Before I'm done thinking of what they said, they already started on their next (very long) sentence

    • @holylarcenist9596
      @holylarcenist9596 23 дні тому +1

      Imo once you have a vocabulary of a few hundred words and know a decent amount of grammar is when things like anime and podcasts actually start to benefit you. After that point is when it goes from being no help at all to absolutely essential. Worst part about training your listening is that you cant notice your progress the way you can when learning new words or grammar, but it does help, even if you only catch one word in the whole sentence at first

    • @Spiriax
      @Spiriax День тому

      Sometimes they will say short and concise things you can learn from. Day 1 it might just be ありがとう, a few days or weeks in (depending on your pace) it could be たすかった! こんどは僕のばんだ! and you take that knowledge and catch up on words and phrases on the longer stuff said. Once you have some grammar knowledge, you will hear words separately.
      Immersion is very important. It's just a matter of how you use it. My comprehension is also pretty bad and I might take my mishearing and create a false context for myself which further confuses me. Which is why it's important for me that the content has Japanese subtitles to go with. Animelon is a fantastic resource where you can watch anime with both English and Japanese subtitles.
      Learning Japanese with AI is also valuable, but soon it will be really valuable. Why? Because you will be able to talk back. Walking to school or work and having something to talk Japanese to on the way? Absolutely incredible.

      In English it sounds fine to say "I commented because I finished the video", but it might sound better to just end the Japanese sentence with masu, since it's a current action I'm taking (as I'm typing it out).

    Your videos are fantastic-clear, easy to follow, and I've been recommending Japanese From Zero for years; I've purchased the book series twice. Your unique approach to teaching Japanese really resonates with viewers. By the way, what do you use to look up Japanese words? My wife is Japanese, and over our 12 years of marriage, I’ve often used an app to find words or explain things. However, it's not very accurate, and sometimes we just drop the subject when we don't understand each other. For comparison I use the app "imiwa" and it's mostly good, but it's not always reliable or accurate.

      It's the same thing. 通じて is more written language and you might see it more in books or magazines. My advice is to not get hung up on things that seem to be the same thing, I'm fluent in English but I can't explain the difference between "through" and "via" and that's fine by me. 😄
