@@JpLaunch Thank you very much, a great video to learn pure Jananese vocabulary, I am trying to be less reliant on Romaji. However, I am really confused as to when to use haragana or not in writing instead of Kanji and vice versa? One thing I am sure of is some words are written in haragana in this vidoe instead of Kanji as I learnt before. Could you please explain a bit for me?

Thanks for not including romaji. That makes it much easier to get used to reading kana.
Sure thing! Thank you for watching! 😃
I know right ! I'm glad I found it, I can practice shadowing and JLPT at the same time !
is easier to memorize kana like this then the standard letter by letter..
Yeah. Its make my reading better and will strength my Hiragana🙏🙏😍😍
Primalxbeast agreed, it’s easier to actually read
This video is amazing. Finally, a straight forward vocab list, pronounced by a native Japanese person, not a robot, that was well thought out, looks nice, and without mistakes
Thank you! 😃
7:55 shouldn't that be five things instead of just five?
@@dolphinlunggrin6594 yes
@@dolphinlunggrin6594 Do keep in mind though, while it is indeed "five things", in English you would also only say "five" as it is the numeric indicator. It might've been nice to add the "things" in brackets but the counting system in Japanese is complicated as you may encounter different ways to count things. Meaning a pencil (long, cylindrical object) is counted with a different "system" than a coin (round object). However, I was once told that the general way of counting would be mostly understandable for the Japanese even when used with the "wrong" object.
Specific much? Sounds pretty personal lol

I look for N1 because I thought that is a level for beginners. I am so shook because it is actually the other way around. 😂😂😂
Lol oh no glad you figured it out 😁
lol me too i found N1 and had no idea what was going on😂
Me too! and I saw all these military words. I was like oh yeah I’m in the wrong spot
SAME!!
Same- that's when I searched it. Turned out N5 was the easiest
How it feels good to read and pronounces the words before him... It took me almost one month to master Hiragana, it seems little but i feel so happy to finally be able to read many words now. For those ones who are starting to study Japanese, don't give up!
Love this! Thank you for watching and good luck on your studies.
@@JpLaunch ありがとうございます!also thank you kindly for creating this channel and for all your videos, the content is really helpful and valuable!

yup i learned hiragana in 2 days but it took me a long time to read it fluently without thinking
it took me a month to master both hiragana and katakana ! even tho sometimes i mess up or forget

This is just amazing. The romaji honestly just confuses me most of the time so thanks for leaving it out and your pronounciation paired with the optional translations and deeper explanations to things like "over there (far from the speaker and the listener)" makes this super practical
Glad you liked it! Thank you watching :))

This is great to listen to while working during this quarantine. Thank you. Here's to passing the N5.
Our pleasure! Good luck with your study for N5! :)
Awesome! Good luck ! Same goal for me
got any tips? i have my exam in a month or so and i feel so underprepared....
did you pass the exam? @@riyaranade1838

Finally managed to learn Hiragana, and being able to read words without romaji is soo cool! Huge motivation to keep learning.
Me too 😂 except for kanji, I'm still learning.
In my experience so far, you never “finish” learning kanji lol
@@rayafk8502 yep even Japanese people aren't finished learning kanji. It's just so vast.
One day I'll be N1 certified. Here's to one of the first steps ! Many thanks for the video it's perfect
Yesss! 🙌 you got this. Thank you!
@@JpLaunch Thanks !
hows it going now?
how is your japanese?
How is it so far?
It’s so nice to hear an actual person saying the words.
ありがとうございます!がんばろう!
Thank you for watching!! がんばってくださいね!
Ill translate it for you guys: "Arigatougozaimasu! Ganbarou" meaning thank you very much! Good luck
@@FransYT No it doesn't. "Ganbarou" means "I shall do my best" or "Let's do our best". The verb "ganbaru" literally means to do one's best. When used in a request form like "ganbatte" or "ganbare" it's often translated as "good luck", because that's kind of the sentiment, but the literal meaning is "Do your best !". "Ganbarou" on the other hand is the volitional form of "ganbaru", so it has the meaning of "Let's" / "I shall".
this will help ua-cam.com/video/tGJ-l4KWBpY/v-deo.html
@@FransYT ummm, Ganbarou isn't the right word. It should be "Gozaimashite"
Thank you so much! It's practical, using hiragana/katakana instead of romaji is extremely useful for me as a newbie in learning Japanese! Clear voice is just icing on the cake!
Great to hear! Thank you for watching!!
@@JpLaunch what's the difference with "uchi" and "ie=house" ?
@@user-ug7po8rk2e i think uchi means home and ie means house.
Started to learn Japanese 4 days ago. I'm going to save this video for later haha
Thank you for watching! Good luck with your study!
I just started I am going to do the same
How's your progress? I hope you didn't gave up.
@@Simkets i would say decent progress maybe hahah. I started with grammar so i learned N5 and some N4 aswell (altough you remember a couple of kanjis just by looking them a lot of times) and later i'll truly focus on learning kanji radicals.
Same here
This is an amazing resource, and it's free! Thank you! You are a wonderful person for doing this :)
Yes it's free! 😄You're very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Nothing is free. We pay with our time.
For serious learners this is really a useful video...
Lies again? Monthly Salary
It was awesome that you read each word twice giving me enough time to write each one down. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful! My pleasure!
Haven't studied Japanese since years and forgot a lot, I even have my N4 certificate, but here I am back to N5 to remember. I'm glad I remember most of these! But I really could have reached further. I'm so happy you make these videos. They're just what I wanted to get motivated again. The best way to start the day; having asagohan and just watching this and repeating!
Nice! Happy to see a list that has words in order depending on their sound(even if it's just for the first character sometimes), makes it so much easier for me to compress them and memorize them when they have similarities, thanks!
I'm glad that it helped you! 😃You're welcome!
This is one of the best vocabulary lists I've seen in a while! Hiragana/kanji, definition/synonyms, and the type of word! Thank you! Y'all put in the effort 💯
Wow, thank you! :)
I wrote all of them down by hand. Took me three days because writing kana still takes me long, but now I have the vocabulary with me wherever I go! (I don't take my phone with me most of the time, it comes easier to me to just pack a small notebook.)
how is your japanese now ?
Same question?
Wonderful! I could only wish that you could include examples of sentences. That would be much easier to remember the word, if it has a practical example.
Thank you, Maria! I have a playlist "JLPT N5 Vocabulary with example sentences".

hi friend you could see more japanese lesson in my channel. Thanks
Just memorized Katakana and Hiragana and this really helps me out to build my vocabulary
Thank you for that amazing video! I have been interested in learning this language for so long, but I really want to start doing it seriously now. I‘m not 100% done with Hiragana/Katakana yet, but this video is helping me a lot, while also giving me some vocabulary to learn! It’s really fun and I get so happy when I recognize some words from the songs I listen too.
I'm glad you liked it! Good luck with your study!

That's awesome! I'm glad it helped you! どういたしまして😃
Thank you so much i realy like that you listed the words that have near sounds or pronounciations after each other! がんばってください!
Thanks for watching!
My pleasure 😊
Thank you sooo much for not adding romaji. A lot of videos add them and i get distracted in reading the actual japanese. Having no romaji increases my speed of reading in kana and hopefully in kanji too. God bless you🤗
You're very welcome! :) Glad you liked it!
Wow, this is amazing! 本当にありがとうございますした!
I am not 100% sure but as much as I can see, you have also taken out the time to put the kanji that are n5 rather than all the kanji! That is so so so helpful. thank you
Excellent collection and very useful for all N5 level students.Thank you for your hardwork.👌
I try to learn 10 words from this video every day! Thank you so much for making this video
You're welcome! Good luck!
How much did you learn?
@@TheMelopeus Not alot, it was a bad method to learn so many at once.
@@toff2042 try 5 a day, it works better
I don't think it is a good idea to try to learn plain lists of words. Listening to words in whole sentences gives them the context that they need to make sense. It would be a good idea to find sentences spoken by native Japanese speakers that contain the words. Listen to those sentences repeatedly, and then the words in those sentences will become familiar to you at the same time as you learn in what context they are used and how they relate to the other words in the sentences that contain them.
I am currently living in Japan and studying Japanese. I finished N5 recently. I'm happy that there is a way for me to double check I know all the words.
Honestly, I'll need to watch this video two times. One time with no sound and covering the English at the bottom to test myself. The second time will be so I can listen to the pronunciation.
Thank you for your comment! I hope you enjoy your time in Japan!
I just discovered this video. It's perfect. I can just use the audio to practice my writing and check if I was wrong.
Thanks for this list of vocabulary words. It really helps me a lot, at first I doubted myself if I can read it without romaji. This made me realized that I should trust myself (coz I glanced to Hiragana and Katakana just thrice this month and I can't memorize it).
You’re welcome! That’s awesome! It’s best to learn without romaji if you can. 😄 helps the hiragana and katakana stick in your brain faster!
Thank you so much, My mom doesn’t teach me her language so gotta do it by my self. Good luck to me.
Oh no :( Well I hope our videos will be helpful :D
Hello! Thank you for the great video! Nice to find someone who's not a robot pronouncing words! I've been watching Dogen's lessons and one thing he brings up about pitch accent is learning standard tokyo dialect. Do you mind if I ask if the dialect used in this video is tokyo-ben or something else? Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Standard Japanese (Tokyo ben?) was used in this video.
this video is absolutely awesome, i mean also the channel! im so glad i could find your channel and thank you so much for the video! hope you succeed a lot with it!!
Thank you so much!
amazing that this content can be accessed on youtube by native speaker. thanks a lot!
Thank you! Ive been learning japanese for a 2 weeks now mostly on the grammar but now when its time to up my vocab I dont know where to start so this is really helpful :)
Glad to hear that! :) Best of luck!
Can u share ur material for me to learn

Thank you for this, Im trying to learn japanese and this is very helpful for increasing my vocabulary
Thank you so much for showing what kind of word it is at the top. A lot of other videos phrase a verb like an adjective or something, which makes it really hard to accurately learn. I also like how there's not a ton of loan words, too.

Without romaji is good to practice my hiragana and katakana reading😄 thanks alot..
You're welcome! 🙂
Been years since I learned Japanese coming to this channel has helped me remember a lot of what I thought I forgot.
I didn't even know I still understood or even could read the characters to this point. I'm still rusty by all means but surprisingly pleasant to know that it's not all lost.
I probably wouldn't past the JLPT or anything not yet would need some serious studying...
Glad that you came back to studying Japanese again!
update?
ありがとうございます! I will listen to this night and day. 🥰
These are like word meanings That I used to memorize usally 15 or so in each chapter and so I progressed a lot
This video is great! It has native pronunciation and it doesn't use romaji. Perfect for N5 practice. However, I did notice that 火 was translated to tuesday even though it is technically fire "ひ" (can also be read as か). Had this been a less knowledgeable me watching, it would have confused me. Maybe add the rest of the word? "火曜日 or 火ようび" to make it more understandable, but emphasize the kanji for fire. Happens at 19:10. Nevertheless, it is a great video! ありがとうございます。
Thank you for sharing your view!
Wow i can read the last line in Japanese :p, my hard work started to pay off
@@11111111175890 haha it certainly feels amazing when you can finally read what people write. Most of the time you don't see progress for a while but it's there. がんばって!

Make N4!
I am actually working on it right now!! Please hit the notification bell lol😂

Thank you I am so glad it was helpful! We have some kanji writing practice but making a video of just kanji is a great idea. We will defiantly consider making that kind of video!
@@JpLaunch Thank you for your hard work. I am looking forward for your next videos. ✨♥️
@@JpLaunchdid you made that video? Of this list but with kanji?
I'm feeling jittery. I know most of these, mastered hiragana and katakana and N5 kanji but still finding it quite hard on listening comprehension😭😭
good luck to all of us taking JLPT and thank you to the uploader of this video. It helps me refresh my knowledge💕 it's wonderful
Commenting since I'm starting my N5 journey today. Already learned kana but don't know how to form many actual words yet. Cheers to pushing forward!
I've been practicing remembering hiragana and katakana for the past day or two, and while I can't read the kanji---I can read the kana and I'm so happy I can pronounce the words! While I knew some words from anime, I'm really trying not to look at the English words and just the kana. I will definitely come back to this video later when I start looking at kanji and expanding my vocabulary!
That is awesome! :)
This is very helpful. Mostly, though, I just love hearing the cognates, especially 40:37. 草
Big kusa
I've just learned katakana and hiragana. I can appreciate the examples to get familiarise with the symbols and application. Thank you!!!
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!
glad to hear that! you're welcome!
Hello! I just found this video and your channel! I’m self-teaching myself Japanese but I’m finding it hard to find a good reference book for parts of speech of the japanese language, like, what are i-adjectives? Godan verbs? Ichidan verbs? etc. If you can suggest good reference books for that or make a video about it, i’d be very thankful. 🙇🏻♀️
I will make videos about these topics for sure!!👍 People who take Japanese classes often learn those from popular textbooks like げんき、みんなの日本語、なかま. However, if you just want to learn i-adjectives, godan verbs, ichidan verbs, etc, there are plenty of blog posts online.
Sorry to pop in!! But I’d totally suggest looking up the youtuber cure dolly and her lessons on adjectives and verbs because they’re a lifesaver and explain godan/ichidan verbs n how to transform them in a way that was mindblowing to me ;w; I’m studying in japan right now and even then those videos helped me understand much faster than any of the teachers did
so sad that u don't put all of the kanji, but arigatou gozaimasu, this is really helpfull tho
Thank you for your feedback!
thank very much! It's a very good N5 vocabulary video. The information about the verb form are very helpful for learning all the words.

Naruto taught me what "blue" meant lol
And sky🤣
Detective Conan taught what "blue" is lol
I learned from neon genesis
Happy Sugar Life taught me "Amai" and "Nigai" XD
Not with Detective Conan saying "Naruhodo" and "Yappari." XD
Im the 700th like. Yay
Also, why did you not use the kanji for some words? Like 上がる、明るい, etc. ?
Wow, Thank you so much!! 😃✨ You're special!
Also thank you so much for paying very good attention to the video. 上がる should have had kanji! But some of them has higher level kanjis like 明るい (N4 kanji)
Even though I know most if not all of the words already, I’m listening for pitch accent. Your voice makes it very easy to determine where the downsteps are (if they exist). Plus you read the word twice! Legend.
Thank you so much! :)
