This video turns 4 years old today. Thank you for your videos Andy. They're so useful and you present the information so well.
I’m officially overwhelmed.
I'm amazed your stuff doesn't get more popular. It's so high quality and well put together. Thanks so much for this series!!! I guess it kinda makes sense, as the amount of people learning Japanese at any given time is probably tremendously lower compared to most other things.

I have a question for you Andy. I'm combining your series with learning through Lingodeer's Japanese program. From their examples, and several other sources, I've heard the O *particle* pronounced as such, and not "wo", yet I think I heard you pronounce it as "wo" several times. Is it "o" or "wo" when being used as a particle? :S Sorry if this came up in a previous lesson and I just forgot it.
If he pronounces it as "wo," it is probably just stylistic or a mistake. You will hear it pronounced as wo often in songs or media just to stylize it but in conversation, it is pronounced "o."
Thanks! Considering I've only been doing this for 1 year, I'm actually quite satisfied with the level of exposure this channel is getting! I do hope it continues to grow though! =)
を is often pronounced similar to "wo" for emphasis. If you REALLY want to emphasis the direct object, you can say it this way. I pronounce it this way to emphasis that it is the を particle I am using, as this is easier for learners to hear. Many Japanese teachers will do this.
In actually conversation I don't pronounce it this way unless someone didn't hear me correctly and I want to emphasis the direct object of my action to someone.
I hope that helps!
@@ToKiniAndy I feel that "wo" comes out more easily for me... So, can I just pronounce it as "wo"? I hope there will be no eyebrows raised at me if I pronounce it like that....
@@skewminds3756 People will definitely understand you, but your accent will stand out from repeated usage, I think it's just best to work on it now when it's easier, since you're a beginner, than have a bad habit that's hard to get rid of in the future.
You're the only reason I'm passing my Japanese 1 class right now. I managed to make a B on my last exam after a long time of just 60s and 70s. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!
I really liked the continuous story you had going on this lesson. I watched the video faster than normally cause I was curious about what would happen next lol. Also, you saying you don't "speak Canadian" made me laugh. Your videos are great, man! Thanks!
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed that. I've been making sure to create a continuing story for most of the videos from this one on I believe! =) I hope you can find them enjoyable as well. Thank you for watching!
Another week, another chapter you've been a huge help for me! It makes it so much easier to retain what I'm reading in Genki with your videos. Appreciated as always!
I'm so happy to hear that you are finding them helpful!
Keep it up, and thank you for watching!
I just wanna say thanks for going through the effort of editing these down.You content is amazing and I use it and take notes on it for my daily lessons.
Also my bookmark for today

Thank you for watching!!
I've been learning Japanese for 2 years now and I wish I came across this playlist earlier. Your explanations are so clear!
Can't wait to explore the rest of your channel.
No offense, but you have been studying Japanese for two years, and you're on lesson four of Genki?
@@tjc_2661 I've almost exclusively been memorizing kanji and vocab and completely ignoring grammar until the start of this year, so yeah, I didn't touch Genki at all. Thankfully grammar turned out to be MUCH MUCH easier to learn than vocab.
@@magicfibre ive been doing the same for half a year; going on anki, doing vocab and kanji then waiting until i have reviews because grammar looked scary. Are you still learning or did you give up?
@@Boyyyyaan yup, still going. I've finished wanikani like half a year ago and moved on to reading NHK Easy articles, Satori Reader stories and watching anime with JP subs. Grammar still trips me up sometimes, but rewatching Andy's genki series helps a lot
Just cancelled my audible subscription and joined your patreon instead!
Thank you Aaron! I hope you find the content there helpful! ☺️
Smart
I just found this page. Currently in Japanese 101! This helps me tremendously, a great refresher as I’ve found Genki to be confusing at times.
Thank you for the lesson!
Thank you so much for this content Andy! You are helping me so much!

どうもありがとございます Andyさん🥰
you're amazing!!! i got the genki textbook but found it IMPOSSIBLE to understand what they were teaching. your video lessons are literally saving my japanese learning journey because i really would've given up on this language a while ago if i only had the book. you break everything down perfectly! i already speak korean so i figured japanese wouldn't be too difficult but your videos are what really gave me confidence. thank you so much for all the time and energy you put into teaching and helping others!!!!
Hi! Thank you very much for this video. I learned a lot. Thank you so much! I pray for more blessings to come for you and this channel. You deserve it.
Thank you so much for this video! I really enjoy watching and learning at the same time. I recently finished Lesson 1-3 and now working my way through the lessons in Genki.
Thank you a lot Andosan your videos are amazing. I like it how you explain detaills.
Every chapter I like Andou san more and more
thanks for this!
ありがとうございました先生
I'm on chapter 4 now and I started looking for video's on each Genki chapter. Found your videos on each chapter and I'm watching them as I go. They are very helpful as you explain each section very well. Thankyou for taking the time making them.
I m addicted now with your lesson
It's first time i watched any full video on UA-cam for 1hour 👍
Thank you very much for your effort to do these per-lesson videos! I only stumbled upon this yesterday and I've since dug up my forgotten Genki I textbook to follow along. I wish you all the best!
Thank you for watching, and I'm happy to hear that you are finding it useful! Good luck!
Thanks! You did a great work that is very easy to follow and compact in all the important information. Love this
Thank you so much for your support vh! I'm glad that you found the video helpful! =)
Thank you so much for this! Domo Arigatou gozaimasu
Andi you helped me respark my japanese practice i hope to catch up thru these videos and meet you for a stream! Thank you for making japanese so easy to understand!
I hope to see you there! Thank you for watching, and keep it up!
I just found your videos whilst going back and reviewing my book. Your method is incredible and very easy to understand. Sir I applaud you. Your teaching skills are excellent, and I thank you.
Thanks so much for doing this. I have a lesson 4 test tomorrow and this has been so helpful. I've already done a bunch of research into self-learning after I graduate in a few months, and your yearly subscription is the one I'm going for.
Thank you Andy san for another great lesson. I am a fan and slowly learning Japanese in lockdown.
Same here :)
After this video, I did some Wanikani lessons and learned 楽しむ ! I think that's a nice coincidence haha
I’m glad you cover things that aren’t in the book. Thank you!
legit, 100%, this is so helpful. I'm about to take in person japanese lessons in school, but that didnt go well with German so im over studying XD You break things down so well, and give real conversational examples.
ありがとう ございますGreat lesson!
こちらこそありがとうございます！
very underrated channel , he is like my second dad from a different grandmother
Such an amazing lesson! Thanks for the hard work. Greetings from Russia :)
Thanks
I'm a 2 month countdown to JLPT N5... thank you for this help!
preciate these videos
nihongo test today thank you!!!
Omg, having learned korean before, japanese grammar is so easyyyy. I don't have to look for extra explanations, just seems japanese version of korean particles, same usage, same meaning, same place in a sentence
thanks
i'm poor and can't really afford Genki at the moment, so these videos help tremendously. Thanks for uploading them!!
Awesome!
i dont have the genki book but i still watch these videos it makes japanese waaayyyy easier for me to study
I really love your Genki-episodes! The are so useful. ほんとうに！😄
Here comes my answer for this question:
夫と食べました。

ありがとうございます、Andy さん は いい先生 です。
ありがとう！
Thanks for saving my memtal health with the genki book
Hi Andy and thanks for the content again. I'm french and half spanish and when you say ほら means look in spanish, I might be wrong (spanish is a second langage) but look in spanish is "mira", plus hora with ressembles "hola" wich means "hi" or "ola" wich means "wave" (like in stadiums during soccer games, or in the see)
God bless you and your work lol
I know these videos are a few years old now but thanks all the same! I'm trying to really get into studying Japanese especially around verb conjugation and these are helping tremendously!
A little fun rhyme I learnt when learning when to use ふん or ぷん when trying to figure out how to pronounce the minutes:
2,5,7,9 is fun everything else is pun.
So if the last number you pronounce is 二、五、七 or 九 then you pronounce 分 as fun.
I'm watching this on replay and yesterday WAS Saturday....
So for a moment I was staring at the screen thinking O_O How the heck did you know that!?!? lol
Hey Andy! Just want you to know, you have been a huge help these couple of past weeks! I'm trying to cram half a year of Japanese online learning for my finals today. Haven't gotten the results yet but i would have been much worse for wear if it weren't for you! ありがとうございました！
Glad to hear that you've found the content useful. I hope that they help you nail those exams! =)
God bless you
thank you so much for this! i'm only about to start lesson 4 today, but i'll do my best to cram so i can catch up to your streams!
Good luck! You can do it! =)
Thank you for watching!
made it thru 4!
You are a lifesaver! :D
Happy to help!
私もお母さんと食べました。

I really want to thank you. Words won’t be able to express my gratitude. You’re the reason that my dream of moving to japan will most likely happen (I just have to get accepted when I apply for a student visa). Thank you
I hope you are able to get it! You are of course, welcome! Thank you for watching! =)
This chapter and the one after really scrambled my head. You give a clear explanation of what is happening. Much better than the book. Thank you sensei.
I'm happy to hear that this cleared things up for you. Thank you for watching! =)
the difference between くらい and ぐらい
there used to be rules around when you would use one or the other but now there aren't
to native speakers ぐらい feels more colloquial and くらい feels more formal, くらい feels more appropriate for written language while ぐらい feels more appropriate for the speaking
when くらい is written you can pronounce it/say it as ぐらい
Just wanted to thank you for your amazing videos! I wouldn't be able to learn Japanese on my own if it was not for your incredibly informative videos.
I do have one question however. In the past 2 videos you have used the が particle but I do not remember learning about it or how its used in either your videos or in genki up until this point. Did I perhaps skip over a part of a previous video or is there another video of yours that explains its usuage?
が is mentioned briefly in a footnote and some other places (I think) in lesson 2, and talked about more here in Lesson 4. Sorry about that!
I'm happy to hear that the videos are helping!
The reason why １時間くらい is often said as １時間ぐらい is because it's easier to say a voiced K sound after the voiced ん sound that is at the end of most time words. So くらい is technically correct, but the living language changes so you can say it as ぐらい
46:17 i dont know why this made me laugh😭 didnt expect it
BM: 52:00
Love your content! very professional and you have so much patience to make them! Bravo!
I have a question, one sentence really confused me
ハンバーガーとビールを安藤さんと。。。 why the を confused me there because 安藤さん is not a verb . is it because is linked to ”楽しみました”？
Life saver before my exam
I hope it helped! =)
Hey Andy, I'm watching 40:35 where you are covering 「にも」for に. Would it be 「へも」if we prefer to use へ for our movement particle?
That slight nod to pitch accent at 22:35 😂
Andysan, when it comes to those irregular verb exceptions, could you look at their negative verb forms to determine if they are godan or ichidan verbs? If so, that may help determine if they follow the regular rules and maybe they don't have to be memorized as exceptions that way?
I'm going insane here. In the lessen at 12:44 "the picture is on the desk".....the no particle is between desk and on. On is a preposition in this case and is never a noun in any case. I'm just trying to understand why the no particle was used like instead of maybe the de particle or maybe the ni particle. Although de is for action right? but ni would be the location.
Anyway THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE VIDEOS!!!!! You have no idea how much these really, REALLY help. So ARIGATOO GOZAIMASU SENSEE of the highest order. You so ROCK
question: if oshiko means to urinate which is a verb the why are we using shimasu which is means: to do? doesnt the verb oshiko convert? awesome content by the way keep it up!
ahhh the Godan and Ichidan thing is so much easier for me to understand!!! ありがとうございます。今はたくさん分かりました。お元気で （ツ）ノ
First off: many thanks for these great lessons - you're doing all those who always wanted to learn Japanese, but don't live in big cities with communities of (native) Japanese speakers and are having a hard time pushing through all this material on their own, a great service. Also, being a (computer science) teacher myself, I can only imagine how much work it is, to prepare all those slides and lesson materials on a (bi-)weekly basis … much appreciated!
With regards to the presented location words, I have a question though. The presented example sentences were
18:00 クーラーはどこですか。
18:06 バーベキューのとなりです。
Seeing that the words クーラー and バーベキュー are not of the same object category … wouldn't it be more natural to use よこ (instead of となり) in this case?
It is a ton of work! Especially with releasing 3 videos bi-weekly on the Patreon. But I'm surviving! Thank you for watching!
It's funny you mention that. I just got a comment from a native Japanese teacher asking if Genki got rid of that footnote about となり and よこ because she has never heard of such a distinction, and no Japanese native she's ever asked has heard of this distinction. She tells her students to ignore that footnote.
I'm inclined to do the same.
Hope that helps!
@@ToKiniAndy Thank you for this clarification. Well, no textbook is perfect.
As a teacher, I'm also quite used to having to explain to my students that some parts of the textbooks we're using aren't worked out very well. Nonetheless, while I personally prefer the Minna no Nihongo series, I think that Genki does a pretty good job on providing an introduction to basic Japanese.
54:10 I noticed this in the last lesson too, but これ and それ are also used in relation to who said what? So... somewhat in relation to a thing's presence to the speaker, but with something that was spoken?
Hello, At 37:32 for B) can you quickly explain what purpose does (ga) serve after you say "beer"? Thank you.

I love your videos. I watch them after reading the grammar and I'm always so confused until I watch your videos. V tempted to get your patreon so I'm not talking to myself during the exercises.
Good sentence! Thank you Danielle. I'm happy to hear that you find them helpful! It looks like you did end up signing up for the Patreon. Thank you so much for that! Please let me know if you have any questions about it. =)
The loc part was super hard for me. It took some time to understand it
