To anyone reading this comment section, who hasn't learnt hiragana and katakana by now; please do. It's very important in order to understand Japanese pronunciation, and romaji is no use in real life! I know it's hard, but trust me, as long as you practice and use hiragana and katakana often enough, they'll be impossible to forget (unlike Kanji...).
Saxonvoter o nu kanji is hell
Whats good is even if you dont like reading kanji they will replace small words of hiragana and katakana above it..
I think Hiragana and Katakana are not hard to learn, but Kanji is.
@@ThanhNguyen-nn2ex Kanji is only difficult if you want to learn the structure, the meaning of each Kanji. Which would be like learning the origin of each word you know in your own language (something only linguistics do).
Kanji is rather a visual thing, most people in Japan don't really know Kanji by itself but you get to know the word just from practice and familiarity.
It's like yojikugo (四字熟語), the only way to know them is to memorize them as they can't really be deducted.
Thanks for the comment! We're happy to help! As always, for anyone in the NYC area interested in learning Japanese, please feel free to check out our building and classes
I wish I had the chance to join one class of your classes, I'm six years late :(
@@ghgh9670 same
Your lessons are fantastic. The more I watch them the more I appreciate them.
Glad you enjoy the videos! The description should have the majority of all the words used in each lesson in romaji (with english translation and furigana). It's good practice to get used to the hiragana and katakana. We'll look into making a video on both of these writing systems in the future :)
I love this teacher :)
"Wo" is a "direct object" marker. An example is: Watashi wa Jon wo sasotta. (I invited Jon). "Ga: is a "subject" marker. An example is: Jon ga Mari wo sasotta. (Jon invited Mary.) For this video, yea, "ga" is used instead of "wo" for any of these words.

thank you :-)
Very good teach
Thx
I love this channel.
I haven't actually seen the video yet, only a minute or two. But I added them onto my Ipod (I play MY JAPANESE COACH to learn new words, but I keep fading out and forgetting them, this will be a great thing to listen to while I am at work to practice Japanse since I plan to draw manga after I graduate college). So thank you for taking time to make these videos Sensei.
ありがとう
*yes. So sorry, typo!
So about a year ago I watched this video and I don't understand cuz the writings are in Japanese but I studied it after. And then I came back and I easily read the sentences. I was so proud of myself for making it this far.
I am ready to start my 3rd year of Japanese but every time i come here for reviews. I really think that you are a fantastic teacher with an amazing method. (I wish the sensei sometime sees my comment :)
arigatou sensei very helpful to me for studying japanese languange...doumo
あなたのビデオが大好きです！
ありがとう
Please add more topics on videos. They're all helpful... :)
Very good!
Thank you, I love this teacher!! Just wondering, when you're talking about knowing a language, is the verb wakarimasu preferable to the verb hanashimasu? Or would either one be ok? What about the verb shirimasu? Arigatou Gozaimasu.
Thanks so much!!
Thanks sensei! Negative verb forms are so difficult for me to remember.
Thank you so much! At first it's a little bit confusing. But I understand now when I repeat the video :)
love and like it
I keep a book for all this because I often forget!
日本語せんせいはとてもすきです❣️
ありがち

Come to Sendai and teach me please , you are a wonderful teacher and asset for us
Dou itashimashite!
今のところ、一年かん日本語は勉強をしている。でも、まだ僕の日本語はとてもわるいです。とにかく、いろいろありがとうございます!
Each conjugation of a Japanese verb has a polite form and a plain form. Japanese Society teaches all of their verb conjugations in the polite form, this is a pretty good policy that way if you end up going to Japan you are polite rather than short.
example: iku (plain) ikimasu (polite)
thank u, I love CONAN EDOGAWA thats why i'd learned kanji, hiragana, katakana.. arigatou sensei♡
arigatou gosaimasu sensei ^^
I love how hiragana is over the kanji so we can still understand it even if we don't know kanji!
分かる (わかる)
Please post morr!
It deserves 10x more likes!!! O.O
好きな (すきな)
Unfortunately we're only located in NYC, however there does appear to be a Japan Society of Hong Kong that we're not affiliated with. We encourage you to get involved in any of the local Japanese organizations in your city that you find helpful, so feel free to check it out!
Is there in HK?
Japanese uses kanji, hiragana, and katakana. We are looking into making videos on hiragana and katakana :)
Domo arigato gozaimasu ! :)
Think you have it in the description...
MVHH
Is it possible to get the ROMAJI translation, please???
Thanks for all the videos!! :)
I've seen in the "Waku Waku Japanese" that they ommit the 'masu' of the verb.Can you give me any explaination?Thanks in advance.
instead of to like to something (object), how do i say "i like to eating" (to like "verb"), would it be like "tabete ga suki desu"? anyone can answer?
what is the most used writing system
When can I use sukoshi, like in "sukoshi wakarimasu"?
Can anyone tell me why amari goes with negative adjective? I mean doesn't it make a double negative?
I'm often confused with the particles. Is it just by convention that "ga" is used instead of "wo" for these verbs? Or is "ga" more often used with emotional expressions?
大-好きな (だい-すきな)
お疲れ様でした (#^.^#) great video
Minnasan....I would like to have the translation of kanjis at left of Japan Society.....arigato...

Japanese Society-- If I'm going to continue your program -- Will you Please write in Romanji. I can't read your small print and your pronunciation is sometimes I don't understand. Please solve this problem. I wan to continue your lessons . Thank you.
先生、とても好きで大好きはおなじですか。教えてください。
is my sentence correct? I want to know if totemosuki and daisuki is the same thing?
ありがとうございます。
Life Is Short The two are almost the same meaning. (Is my English sentence correct?) 「とても好きと大好きはおなじですか。」 "と" means "and". "で" means "with" or "at" etc.
watashi wa miyashita sensei ga totemo suki des.
What's the difference between すき でわ ありません and すき じゃないです?
why is not を(o) but が (ga) here I'm confused 😅😅...
Watashi wa nihongo no shitsumon ga kotae raremasen
What if the construction is "I'm good at singing", how do you say that in Japanese? Thank you for your help!
myra villarta "Watashi wa utau no[koto] ga jouzu[umai,tokui] desu.わたしは うたう（歌う）の[こと]が じょうず（上手）[うまい、とくい（得意）]です。" "watashi"="I" "wa" indicates that "watashi" is the subject. "utau"="sing" "koto"="thing" "utau koto"="utau no"="to sing, singing" "ga"="at" in this case. "jouzu,umai,tokui"="good" "~ga jouzu"="good at~" "desu"="am"(be-verb") "~ga jouzu desu"="be good at~"
Please in romanji also
I miss the romaji translations. Other than that, great lessons !
Why is ''Ha'' (Hiragana) pronounced as ''Wa'' (hiragana) in this video?
can kirai desu also be used to express dislike?
Salina Fernandez sou desu! thats right!
Aloha 💓
QUESTION
for sentence (example) mary san loves suzuki san should i still use (ga) after suzuki or (ni)?
[ Mary san wa suzuki san (ni/ga(What should i use?) ) daisuki desu ]
You should use "ga(が)", but cannot use "ni(に)" in this case. Mary san wa suzuki san ga daisuki desu. or Mary san wa suzuki san no koto ga daisuki desu. Generally for indicating direct object, particle "wo(を)" is used, but in this case, "ga" instead of "wo" is used.
"Mary san wa suzuki san ga daisuki desu.” could be interpreted as "Suzuki san loves Mary san."(normally interpreted as "Mary san loves Suzuki san" though)
@@learningkanji3930 Sensei, now I'm completely lost. Take this sentence, for instance: メアリーさんはテレビが好きです。Does it mean 'Mary likes TV' or 'the TV likes Mary' ?
@@user-cq9pl4vv9j "メアリーさんはテレビが好きです。" means 'Mary likes TV', not 'the TV likes Mary'. Sorry, my previous comment was confusing. "メアリーさんは鈴木さんが大好きです。" usually means 'Mary loves Suzuki-san.', not 'Suzuki-san loves Mary.'. I wrote it could be interpreted as 'Suzuki san loves Mary.', yes it could be narrowly, but a little unreasonable, so you should ignore it. Thank you for the question. 林先生、ごめんなさい。ありがとうございます。
@@learningkanji3930はじめまして。マヌエルと申します。ポルトガル人です。 よろしくおねがいします。
Sensei, thank you so much for taking the time to answer. I began recently the study of the japanese language (by myself, with the help of a grammar book and youtube videos) so I thought that perhaps there was an exception regarding the 好きな adjective.
Anyway, let me thank you for your videos also (I particularly like the ones on kanji and JLPT exams). Please, don't stop.
ありがとうございました。
