    ふみせんせい、
    ありがとうございました‼Another great lesson on an important topic for those who plan to use their Japanese to actually speak to people in Japan.. I'll plan on using ます and です until a native speaker tells me to make the switch to ためぐち、which would be a major milestone for me! 😊

    When in doubt, just be friendly and polite. Do your best, and maybe you can rely on the "kindness of strangers"...

    what's funny is when you dont know someone is several years older than you, so you talk to them in the casual/same-level way, but then it turns out they were your senior the entire time

      Has this happened to you? How does the other person usually react, are they irritated because it's improper or are they happy to be seen as young?

    One thing Fumi-sensei might have forgotten to mention is that Japanese people usually introduce themselves by both name and age/school grade.
    Americans like me find that very unnatural. Like introducing yourself with your name and height, or name and blood type. I know it's a feature of Japanese, but it is something to get used to.

    • @SpeakJapaneseNaturally

      Right. Students say their grade too.
      People my age don't say our age though ...🤔

      Ah!! It’s called “jikoshoukai” 「自己紹介」. It is most commonly seen on school or university when a student is introducing him/herself in front of the class. In varsity team sports such as basketball; it is also most commonly seen.

    In conclusion, just be polite all the time. There are many times I hoped the Japanese whom I am trying to make friends with (younger than me) can speak in casual way to me because as a Japanese learner, I feel that it’s pretty distant if we always use desu or masu. At one point I wanted to just tell them that they don’t have to be so polite towards me because I’m just trying to make friends. But after watching this video, I figured… it’s better not to do so especially towards girls who are younger than me? 😅

    • @SpeakJapaneseNaturally
      @SpeakJapaneseNaturally  Рік тому +1

      Yes, I think that way, but there are a lot people out there, so of course some think the opposite 😁

      @@SpeakJapaneseNaturally Hmm okay. Maybe I can try to tell them that it's okay to be casual, but if they are not comfortable with it, then it's okay. Haha thank you!

    As a European it's so hard to wrap my mind around the Japanese levels of politeness. This video is very helpfull!
    How about in a host family situation? If I as an non-native speaker/ foreigner, invite and host a japanese youth some 10-15 years younger than me, for one week, how casual should/could we speak?

    • @SpeakJapaneseNaturally
      @SpeakJapaneseNaturally  Рік тому

      If the youth is 18 or younger, then talking without desu/masu would be good. But if the youth is over 20, I’d speak to them with desu/masu at least at the beginning 😊
