Yes. I'm aware that I said, "column" instead of "row" about 50 times.
in the Netherlands we have a proverb.
even the best horse will sometimes stumble
Is the ~Te form a kind of conjugation too?
yes it is!
Lol I didn’t even notice
Knowing a language and being able to teach it are two different things. You really are a very good teacher.
I do my best! Thank you for watching this one too. =)
@@ToKiniAndy yeah, learning japanese is one thing but teaching it is another, thank you for this video!
I can't physically understand why this video only has a few thousand views. He deserves so much more recognition. Thank you so much bro! I'm sharing this.
Thank you!
I think it's the thumbnail. I need to make a better one. Heh
yes , Teacher has made much effort to do it , it deserve much more views , I hope it will come soon
I spent tens of thousands of dollars on formal Japanese education in college and they didn’t teach it this way and now I’m sad......haha! This makes so much more sense!!!
It worked out in the end at least!
But yeah, I don't get why we aren't taught this way.
Thanks for watching!
This was life changing. The textbooks made it seem so complicated, but you really simplified it for me. Thank you!
Another thing that's made my life learning Japanese so much easier is learning Kanji radicals. People keep telling me it's useless to learn then, but I can at least memorize a new Kanji so much easier than before I learned the small amount of radicals I know that consists of the ones marked as important on Kanji alive.
Who ever is telling you it's useless definitely does not know what they are talking about. Even Japanese people learn kanji through radicals. It makes life SOOOO much easier.
先生さん、ありがとうございます！
20 years ago when I started studying Japanese seriously, my instructor taught this method and called it “The Elevator”. Until then I was struggling with conjugations and this blew my mind at how simple it suddenly all became!
I know this video is old but it only just popped up in my feed and though I use this method I had to watch!
Good one!
Nicely presented!
Thank you sir! I'm worried I may have moved to fast, but I hope it all gets across!
@@ToKiniAndy People can watch it at half speed I guess haha
This has to be the most perfect form of teaching I've ever seen! Perfect organization, perfect delivery, perfect images, perfect audio, perfect tone. Fun, easy to understand and you also gave us practice! I'm eternally thankful for this!!
I'm a native Japanese speaker, but I've learnt so much from your explanation. you are really a great presenter.
Can you teach me japanese by having conversation through texts at times?
This is actually kind of mind blowing. Definitely saving this for later, and I will do the conjugations you suggested for practice!
3 years late to this but on my Japanese learning journey. Through myself in the deep end with verbs yesterday and went to bed feeling demotivated. Found this video just now and I have to agree with the other comments, your ability to teach is incredible! Thank you for this video.
Same page club
Finally a video that explains straightforward conjugations! Thanks a lot!
Awesome video Andy!
Thanks Kevin! And thanks for watching!
Just the way you talk, Andy Sensei! You make me remember way more easier. So fluid and emphasizing.
Was feeling so down about struggling with conjugation today and coming across your video changed everything and gave me hope! Thank you for your videos and explaining things so well!! :D
Thanks!! An amazing video, as always 👏
That was so useful, you made conjugating verbs fun. Thank you so much.
This was so helpful, thank you. I've heard a bunch of explanations for the basic conjugations, but watching you move the verb up and down the chart finally made it click. Definitely sharing this around!
Wow! This is what I call an eye opener! Giving the scary verb conjugation a system like makes it so much easier for me. I love the way you teach us Japanese.
Dude nice. I'm still trudging through my first 500 or so Kanji and I've been postponing learning Godan verbs because I thought it would be harder than you've made me realize. It's actually super easy and I'm going to start practicing full conjugations of every verb I learn! You've just made my Japanese learning journey significantly simpler and more fun!
So underrated, this was the clearest and most complete comprised teaching
Oh, you explained it all in such a clear and simple way! Thank you, it was very helpful
I'm happy to hear that you found it useful! Thank you for watching!
I've watched several videos on this and your explanation is the absolute best one. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
This might be the most useful single video I've watched in my years of trying and failing of leaning japanese! Thank you!
oh my gosh! this is absolutely amazing! thank you so much for this!
This is very detailed and well-explained!
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful!
DUUUUUUUUDE, I was looking for a way to learn verb conjugation, and this was litterally the only logical one I could find! You're amazing bro!!!
This was mindblowing! I am studying the Genki book since months but I didn't even remotely realised these rules, Thank you so much!!
After resolving my latest struggles, he goes further and even add some homework. A true teacher. Thankyou so much.
amazing video 👍
Super informative. His encouragement to master this particular language skill is extremely persuasive. I know that soon I too will be conjugating the Godan verbs with ease. Thank you!
I have watched so many tutorials without understanding or remembering anything about japanese conjugation, but this one and the ichidan verb conjugation made it crystal clear. I will definitely follow this channel, thank you so much!
You are amazing. Thank you!
Amazing revelation! Have seen varied explanations on this but never this clear and worthwhile.
どうもありがとうございます!
This was a GREAT lesson! Thank tou so much
Its amazing how you fit all these useful info in a short video. ありがとう！
I'm glad you found it useful!
Thank you for watching! =)
This Godan conjugation video is super helpful! It really helps me with my conjugation! Thank you so much!
Can I learn japanese with you bro
YOu just made this easier than I thought it was going to be. Mind was blown after first 5 minutes haha thank youuuu
I had to rewatch this video 3 times to understand how this works, but once it clicked it became so simple! Thanks for this!!
このレッスンをありがとう！
Makes life a lot easier, THANK YOU!
you made it easier to understand sensei! thank you so muuuuch
Thank you brother
That was awesome! Thanks very much!
Wonderful work!
Thanks for watching!
I wish Genki publishers are smart enough to buy your knowledge to fix Genki! If not and if I could help them to grasp it quicker, let me know! Best!
thanks you so much for simplifying this!
Best teacher !!!
This is the first explanation that clicked with me, thank you!
thank you for explainig godan verbs!
Very nicely done. I ha e been struggling with conjugations.ill watch all your videos
Thank you Chase! I hope this helped a bit!
Recently found your channel through twitter and this is amazing, non of my Japanese teachers mentioned this!
I think somebody who had to learn a language is often better at explaining grammar, thank you for this great content.
I think I will just watch all lessons to brush up on my basics which is definitely necessary
Having someone who learned the language point out things they struggled with can be very helpful! Sometimes it is difficult for natives of a language to recognize what is difficult for learners. =)
I hope you find the videos helpful!
ビデオはいちばん五段活用習う. Trying to say, this is the best video to learn Godan Verbs! Thanks for posting it. Super good.
Thank you for this! I'm a visual learner so this helped a ton!!
I'm happy to hear that! Thank you for watching!
Oh my god.... this is the best video ever. Thank you so much 🙏
You are very welcome! ☺️
god damn that was amazing. I've been struggling with this for a while now. Thank you so much!
I’m glad to hear that it helped! =)
Thank you!!! This has made everything so much clearer, I'm now getting back into learning Japanese again after an extended break because life got in the way, but now I've also got a native tutor who is helping me once a week too so i'm even more ready to get back into it. Also JET applications open next month and I've almost got everything I need for my application, most organised I've been in my life ahahaha. Hopefully I'll catch up on the genki lessons and be able to join in the live streams soon!
Happy to hear that you found it useful!
Good luck with the JET application!!
Thanks alot this is the most clear guide I have ever seen. Gonna throw all old guides out of the window, this way is so intuitive
Thank you! I'm happy to hear that you found it useful.
Thank you! This helped a lot.
This was veeery difficult for me until I watched this video, ありがとうございました Andy せんせい!
Amazing when a genius is also humble and puts his mind towards teaching
I felt I had a good understanding of this but holy this was eye opening! ありがとうございます！
thanks homie this rules. out of everything when learning this language I struggle with verb conjugation the most, and this has made it a lot easier lol
One of the things I like best about your approach to verb conjugation is you group the conjugations by verbs and not the other way around, which is how most other resources teach conjugation. For example, other learning resources might exclusively focus on the volitional form and give a bunch of u/ru verbs to illustrate. I find the challenge with that approach is the conjugations are essentially now compartmentalized in my brain, which is not an efficient means of recall. When trying to figure out the proper tense, I first recall the dictionary form and THEN try to conjugate it, but if I learn the conjugations in isolation, recall (for me anyway) is less efficient. In this approach, all conjugations are related to the dictionary form of the verb, making recall a bit more efficient.
this helped me so much! thank you
Thanks man, this is great info! Cheers from Texas!
Thanks!
And thank you for watching!
This is very helpful thank you so much 😭😭😭😭😭
I'm a self learner and this is mighty helpful. Cheers for that :)
Thank you!!
I greatly appreciate your video, you've singlehandedly made me understand how japanese works tremendously! The way other people explain was way more complicated, and you've made it in a more digestible format. Ive been studying strickly the alphabet and studying kanji, but ive never really tried to learn the conjugation because kt seemed so complicated. Thank you once again, please continue making videos!
Thanks a lot now it's all clear hope you make alot like these helpful videos
I hope I can make more too. I'm happy to hear that you found it useful!
Thank you for watching!
Súper useful!, thanks
My gooosh, you helped me so much.. this is the reason why I stopped learning Japanese because no one explain it to me why the verb in Japanese is changing on different type of sentences.. now I truly understand
Thank you. I paired this with a hiragana chart that only shows ru mu bu nu tsu su gu ku and u, along with the appropriate forms going up and down on the chart such as sa shi su se so for the s column. It made following along with this video a lot easier.
I stumbled upon a jem! Arigatou andy san
I'm happy to hear that you found it useful!
Thank you sir
The feeling I got when I realised that I knew half of the conjugations from just listening a lot to Japanese... It's so nice to be affirmed on what I knew, and to have it explained this well is amazing
this is literally the most useful video
damn this is super legit tks man great work
I'm glad you found it useful! Thank you for watching. =)
OMG definatlye agree why have I not seen this before..studying for the last day before my N5 and this video is brillaint. Thank you nice one !!!
I feel like I found gold! Great lesson!
thank you ♡
Thank you soooo much! There is hope for me after watching this video :D
this is overpowered lol thank you im glad i found this video
Omg, this is amazing!!! I have no idea about it. Why books that teaches English don’t explain it??? It’s so much easier to understand the conjugation. THANK TOU!!!!
Thank you very much
Bruh...time to watch every single one of your vids now. Its like a cloudy area in my head was just hit with sunlight and cleared up.
I'm so glad to hear that it helped!!! And hope I can help clear up any other cloudy areas. ☺️
this made my life way easier none of the textbooks or any of my professors ever taught anything like this 20/10
I have encountered a great deal of difficulty in verb conjugation. Most textbooks designed for foreign learners force us to start by learning the polite masu form of verbs. As far as I can tell, plain form is the base for verb conjugation. Without further saying, you know I fail miserably in transforming masu form to te form, ta form, volitional form and nai form. I feel like I have not learnt anything before. I have determined to start all over again. Your videos give me great hope. Thanks, Sensei.
I'm happy to hear that it helped a bit!
I agree that starting from masu is... Questionable.
Keep it up, and thanks for watching!
Excellent video, which I learned a lot from and got me thinking.
There were a couple more conjugations (just that I was immediately aware of) て form (飲んで) and past (飲んだ). Tokini Andy covers them both in separate videos (Genki 1 lesson 6 and Genki 1 lesson 9).
There are many more verb conjugations, and if you want to make your head spin, you can search (japanese verb conjugator) in your favorite search engine.
Thank you so now i can use verbs without worrying on how to use it
My god, you made this make so much sense

Thanks!
Thank YOU! I really appreciate the support! =)
This is very clear. Thanks! I actually learned katsuyou this way. Once you learn hiragana, this is a very easy way to understand it.
Thank you! I'm happy you found it easy to understand.
Me too!!!
thank uuu
dude i tip my hat to you, your vids are awesome much
This was extremely helpful, thank you so much! I was very confused with conjugating and now I’m not! 🎊😊
This vid blew my mind
This is real useful
