Knowing Idioms are sometimes more important than grammar sometimes when it comes too understanding context of a situation in any language, this is super useful. Been looking for more of these.
"Fundari kettari" = "One thing after another." I found one in the dictionary once. "Michikusa wo ku." Roughly, "To eat the grass along the road". This is when someone gets distracted instead of focusing on a task. Imagine a guy sitting by the road chewing a stalk of grass when he should be working. So when I find myself reading the books I'm trying to sort out and put away I stop and say, "I'm eating grass again!"
Thank you so much for this! You teach more than an average teacher does and your explanations of verb usage and examples is so helpful to me. I have learned so much from you. You are the best teacher one can have!
A good English example of 踏んだり蹴ったり is "kick me while I'm down" It means even though you are already down you are still being kicked. Or even though life is already hard it keeps getting harder. 👍 皆！勉強頑張ってね 💪
Hi Misa-sensei! Another idiom you might like is "start over from scratch." It comes from the scratched line in the ground at the start of a race. Your cooking example made me think of it, because you can use it in a different way for cooking. "From scratch" would mean that you had no premade ingredients for cooking an item. Like rather than using a cake mix or even just buying a cake from a store. Sometimes a cook can feel pride if someone thinks the dish is very professionally made. Like at a dinner party, Guest: "Wow you made this? It tastes store-bought." Host: No, I made it myself, from scratch, no mixes or anything." So when you messed up the cake, and if you made it from flour and everything, you could say, "Now I have to start over from scratch, making it from scratch." Hopefully some silly wordplay will brighten your day! :)
Omg i was thinking that song before you said it, it is good southpark moment 😂 I hope you will have good luck in the future, last couple of years were beyond miserable for me too. Maybe there will be a miracle, who knows.
I love love LOVE your verbs video. If you ever did more of those for other verbs or nouns, I would DIE. :) it helped me so much more than you think. Way more than just remembering them from a stupid book.
Misa sensei you look radiant, healthy and beautiful 💕 thank you for always teaching us all these useful words and phrases! Also love your hair ✨ 明けましておめでとうございます🎍🎊
"Superman" exercise is easy to do and great for lower back pain. Lower back pain is usually due to slightly weak muscles, it helps me immensely. Please try!
Good stuff. I would appreciate more idiom videos like this. It really helps those of us that have been in japan a long time but cant catch expressions like as meshi mae. Also a video that has the opposite idioms as well would be useful. Cheers!
Don't worry Misa-sensei. Many people here love you and support you. Thank you for your hard work. I wish you to be fine in 2022. Take care of yourself.
Wow, I knew absolutely none of this. Really good to know, especially 踏んだり蹴ったり. 13:51 you can also just say 20 22 (twenty twenty-two), which is much less of a mouthful lol.
あけましておめでとうございます！Thank you as always for your fun and informative videos! They really help me living here in Japan--textbooks just don't cover this stuff. Thank you! Let's all do our best this year!
I had to start recommitting myself to learning Japanese. I got lazy & my interest waned trying apps that claimed but failed. It's so hard with PTSD my anxiety & memory make it so hard.

True. However idioms may not be nice to use. In a formal situation

I hope you're all right, Misa! Sending positive vibes your way
The B&W cut in made me spit my drink over the screen! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nice one Misa. ところで、明けましておめでとうございます！
I really appreciate that you teach both language and culture ☺️
Thank you so much for this! You teach more than an average teacher does and your explanations of verb usage and examples is so helpful to me. I have learned so much from you. You are the best teacher one can have!
I know it’s been said so many times but Misa’s English pronunciation is REALLY good!
That この二年間は踏んだり蹴ったりの年だった sentence really encapsulated these クソな年.
A good English example of 踏んだり蹴ったり is "kick me while I'm down"
It means even though you are already down you are still being kicked. Or even though life is already hard it keeps getting harder. 👍
皆！勉強頑張ってね 💪
Misa is a great teacher, i really enjoy this channel.
This is the return of the Misa we know and love. Thanks for another informative and fun video.
In Italian to say a place is crowded we use the sentence "pieno come un uovo!" >>>>filled as an egg! we also use that sentence about sardines
◆すし詰め【満員】
◆腰が低い ~~が低い
【being humble 】
◆お預け to put off / to postpone
◆ふんだりけったり
bad keeps happening
◆一からやり直す to start all over again
I am russian and I thought that 2022 couldn’t get any worse. Never in my life had I been so wrong.

These types of videos are my favorite, I don't know how else I would learn this kind of stuff! Thank you!!
2021年は踏んだり蹴ったりの年でしたね〜
Love this one.
Thanks, as always 💕
すし詰め is really useful, thanks Misa!
I was in Japan over 25 years ago and still remember the metallic smell of the air in packed trains
The way you match colours in your dress, hair and makeup is becoming better and better. Nice taste!
New year, new Misa! You really seemed to be having fun in this one.
great lesson ,appreciate your hard work ,and wishing you prosperous and peaceful new year
Omg i was thinking that song before you said it, it is good southpark moment 😂
I hope you will have good luck in the future, last couple of years were beyond miserable for me too. Maybe there will be a miracle, who knows.
Great lesson! Some of my favourites are 朝飯前, 三日坊主, 一石二鳥

Books are not stupid.
Books help provide the fundamentals that Miss is able help build on… every educational resource has its purpose
Thank you for making great videos. I always learn something new. Even if the last 2 years were hard for all, this year will be great😎
2022年から、そろそろ一からやり直してきましょう。がんばっれ！みささん！
Misa sensei you look radiant, healthy and beautiful 💕 thank you for always teaching us all these useful words and phrases! Also love your hair ✨ 明けましておめでとうございます🎍🎊
please do more videos like this misa sensei! these are crazy useful
Here's to all of us. Let's keep learning together!!!
I really like that you chose sayings that highlight the grammar points so well - would love to see more!
明けましておめでとうございます☘️♪ いつもありがとうございます！ミサさんのビデオはいつも最高で、分かるやすいですよ！🎶今年もよろしくお願いします✨
These are great idioms, thank you. 良いお年を！

3:08 I fell from my chair laughing
いつもありがとうございます🙏
預ける has the same connotations as "Park it" in UK English.
みさ先生明けましておめでとうございます！いつも本当にありがとうございます。みさ先生の動画はすごく役に立ちます。
みさ先生のおかげで、大変勉強になりました。
very cool/useful phrases! さすがみさ先生！
ありがとうみさ先生！
ありがとうミサ先生別の素晴らしいレッスンは素晴らしい一日を過ごします

ありがとうございますmisa先生
Yet another great lesson!!! Misa sensei wa ichiban desu you.
Don't worry Misa-sensei. Many people here love you and support you. Thank you for your hard work.
I wish you to be fine in 2022. Take care of yourself.
Thank you beautiful Misa so much! I have been living in Japan for a few months and I agree I hope next year is better for all of us.
いいビデオ送りましてありがとう！
みさ先生さすが最高です！
that thing with 踏んだり蹴ったり I have heard it a lot I do use more 泣面に蜂 more often though
My feeling is that "踏んだり蹴ったり" is used more often. A more elegant way to say it is "弱り目に祟り目".
Thank you so much for your uploads!! You are an amazing teacher
Misa, I hope you had a nice flight and enjoy your time back in Japan. :)
Always happy to see -Sensei upload
This video is jam packed with information!😉😆
P.S. I'm officially jealous of Misa Sensei's wardrobe and fashion sense😈
also, a nail that does not stick up never gets hammered. good to get hammered once in a while.
5分の3がもう勉強したことがあります。イェーイ！
What a great lesson! So much useful vocabulary. Arigatou gozaimasu!
I love this new room! Looks great!
Wow, I knew absolutely none of this. Really good to know, especially 踏んだり蹴ったり.
13:51 you can also just say 20 22 (twenty twenty-two), which is much less of a mouthful lol.
１２月は踏んだり蹴ったりの月でした。仕事を失った、車が壊れた、お気に入りのバンドは解散して、祖母は死にかけています。😭😭😭
難しだよ、でも家族があります
Every Japanese textbook and dictionary: Kanojo means "she".
IRL: "4歳の学生は楽しい！かのじょは…" "Your girlfriend is 4 years old?"
みささんは大好き！ありがとう😊
excellent lesson, thanks Misa chan
Very interesting new vocabulary and expressions, thanks Misa-sensei! Also, you look gorgeous on that red dress next to Pikachu!
“Uesuto. Japanese!” Haha
great lesson Misa!
形から入る
Surprised not to see this one, so apt for Japanese mentality I think.
あけましておめでとうございます！Thank you as always for your fun and informative videos! They really help me living here in Japan--textbooks just don't cover this stuff. Thank you! Let's all do our best this year!
「踏んだり蹴ったり = absolute nightmare」 と思いました。(笑)

Happy new year Misa! I hope you're doing well!
You are very great teacher misa san
I love that the rich takagi-san has the kanji for expensive in their name
Thank you Misa!
すし詰め/寿司詰め/鮨詰め (すしづめ)
腰が低い (こしがひくい)
I believe the term you were searching for, for your second example, was self-deprecating
Wow ur teaching is purrfect i really learned a great lesson today btw i am ur new subscriber thnx for teaching me!!!❤️😍😘
Tysm beautiful sensei ❤️😊
Bonne année Misa !
I had to start recommitting myself to learning Japanese. I got lazy & my interest waned trying apps that claimed but failed. It's so hard with PTSD my anxiety & memory make it so hard.
How are you sensei Misa?
Thank you so much for sharing good contents.
Nice one Misa
Misa can you make a video about how to use the だ ending? I struggle with using it naturally.
Great video! 😃
Omg i assumed 一からやり直す meant "tov nip in the bud" lol. What would that be in Japanese, if you don't mind me asking?
あけましてオメデトウ
こんにちはみさ先生お元気ですか新しい部屋が好きです hello Misa sensei I hope your okay and I like your new background
