#Genki #Lesson3 #LearnJapanese
I had no doubt that you were going to fix Genki's worst chapter. Keep it up Matt!
Is it really that bad? Haven't gotten to that part.
@@TakarieZan it's not terrible but it's explained in a pretty confusing way and since the topic is very important I'd suggest to also study from a different source like this video
素晴らしいです！
I am Japanese and I am a Japanese tutor.
We Japanese NEVER think about "U-verbs" or "RU-verbs" when we speak Japanese.
However, most of my Japanese language learner students use "げんき" and seem to be stuck on "U-verbs" and "RU-verbs".
If the "U" and "RU" verbs were clearly separated, there would be no problem, but there are too many "exceptions" that make things even more complicated.
As a Japanese, I found this video very informative.
どうもありがとございます！チャンネル登録もさせていただきました！
I'm at N3 right now and I'm glad I watch the video, I never knew about the ichidan and godan tricks lol. As always, excellent content! Thanks!
Oh nice!! Glad to see the video can be helpful even for people at the N3 level!
@@GameGengo about the same level and also didn't know about the godan trick. Learned the る, non-る, 来る, する method. Maybe it's because I know those forms already, but this makes more sense to me. almost didn't click this video but happy i did!
Oh my god ichidan and godan makes INFINITELY more intuitive sense than how Genki teaches verbs. Three years of rote memorization in classroom study, instantly overwritten by ichidan and godan.
And if they want folks to be lifelong learners and eventually take the textbook/classroom training wheels off, why the hell would they introduce concepts that aren't even in Japanese dictionaries and that a native Japanese speaker would be baffled by if you asked them? Obviously Genki isn't the only culprit here but what the heck!
Thank you for these videos, my learning would have been accelerated unimaginably if I had had such a good video resource in college.
This channel is better than the actual tutoring at my college lol
Glad I leaned this rule early, now I feel sad for people that had go through it backwards. I still feel though that in the end you need to learn how all the common verbs sounds and tenses to speak the language but at least this will make it easier when reading. Thanks Matt and boo Genki for teaching this.
I'm so happy I found your channel before I started learning japanese verbs the complicated way like my boyfriend did... You're a life saver!
My boyfriend saw your video and he could not believe how easy it is! He started the hard way and never was able to understand it fully. Yet with only one page of note taken from your video, he understood more then in years of university and tons of pages of notes! xD
Seriously, thank you sooooooo much! Especially since I'm particularly bad with grammar rules. This is just amazing!
21:42 dude was so excited, lowkey wholesome 😂❤
This completely changed my ideas of verbs, I felt hopeless learning all the complicated rules to master Grammer and you gave me a concrete way to remember and focus on the vocabulary, I will be supporting on patreon, thank you for your videos 🙏
I admittedly thought it wouldn’t be useful to watch this video since I had gone through this chapter so long ago, but decided to anyway since this channel has been such a gem. I was wrong- the re-teaching of these lessons is masterful!
I'm a complete beginner and I'm glad i watched this video before learning the wrong way. thanks
I can't believe a lesson of this quality is completely free... Thank you so much Matt.
im studying for my japanese finals right now and by haruhi's grace i randomly came across one of your videos on reddit. I love my Japanese professor and shes very nice, but my ADHD will not allow me to focus on her lectures for 2 hours straight, 2 times a week, especially online, so these videos are saving me. I am really enjoying these videos, they're such a fun way to learn Japanese so please keep it the good work!
Thank you so much! It's always nice to see people contextualize and improve upon explanations. It's a bummer how common I see textbooks struggle to optimize their writen explanations. It's one thing to know and another thing to explain, and I'm glad you're so good at both.
When I started to learn the te form in class I noticed the godan trick all by myself and how it fit the aiueo and made a chart to help me learn the verbs. I didn't know that was how they taught it in Japan, it makes a lot more sense and it's easier to grasp. Japanese verb conjugasion is like building lego blocks, way easier than french and english.
Despite being further along the genki 1 textbook, I always look forward to these videos as a sort of revision. Your added insight to and delivery of all these lessons contextualises and enhances everything I thought I already knew, for example (and quite especially) the AMAZING ichidan and godan classification that although uses a tiny bit of upfront memorisation of the nai forms ends up saving a whole lot of brain power in the long run. Thank you for all your efforts :)
I started getting bad grades in my university Japanese class as soon as I hit this lesson, the way it's taught made no sense to me. This simplifies things a lot, and makes learning Japanese more enjoyable. Thank you!
Your explanation of particularly godan verbs is immaculate, and your trick to identifying ichidan vs. godan verbs is a lifesaver. Thank you SO much!
i studied japanese for 2 years while i was in college, stopped for a year and now im back at it, the one thing i always struggled with was verb conjugation because of the ru and u verb rules and because i so have some experience the ichidan and godan rules are LIFE . i’m definitely finna have to subscribe to you guys’ patreon.
Honestly, you just saved me with this video. I was about to drop japanese again, but man, these conjugation rules you just laid out with Ichidan and godan make life so much easier. You are a terrific teacher
Oh hell yea, Ryuji on the thumbnail! Already excited
I hope you enjoy the video! :D
Eff yeah!
i am studying for N4-N3 and your video is very helpful, i finally understood godan and ichidan verbs, there are 5 five different endings for GODAN verbs.
it's so simple
Bro. I’ve been studying for a year and you just broke the mold with this
Oh man, were have you been my entire life? Th U/RU verbs thing was so confusing for me for so long! George from "Japanase from Zero" made this subject a bit more understandable, but with your method everything just finally clicked for me :)
Wow. This is one of my favorite videos so far. I learnt A LOT! And it did make things easier. I'm glad I avoided the whole RU and U verbs mess. Ichidan and Godan is way easier.
ありがとうございます！
the ichidan/godan rules are way more useful and easy to grasp, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge :D
The 一段vs五段 method is very helpful for japanese learners of every level.😊 However in some textbooks (including Genki) you will only learn the negative form very late. What helped me, was actually an adaptation on the method for polite verb forms. Polite forms are taught very early and used in almost every scentence. One can use them as reference the same way they would use the negative verb form. Just focusing on the い sound instead of the あ.
The trick can also work with the "-ます" form if you check for 'い' sounds. For example, "変えます" vs "帰ります". That's what I realized and I never really thought about the rules
Thats great that it helps you! But I dont think it works for every verb? It still sounds a little complicated to me because of verbs like 見る (miru, mimasu), 生きる (ikiru, ikimasu), 信じる (shinjiru, shinjimasu) which are all ru verb/ichidan.
EDIT: Ah i see! You just mean for telling apart the tricky homophones! Nice!
@@GameGengo Ya it's not very well thought out lol. It doesn't work as as well as the "ない" trick, but it does work for homophones and generally if you encounter a word you don't recognize
currently in college taking japanese and honestly these videos are a blessing, keep em coming dude
ありがとうございます！
This video is like a goldmine find for me...a beginner learner.
Holy cow!!! This is gold! So glad I found you!
Thank you so much for talking about RU/U verbs, I've been struggling with this so much that practically fail my reviews every time because of them. Your method of learning ichidan/godan verbs is so much easier!
Great stuff. Thanks.
Great video
Thank you for this video, man.
Amazing video! Thank you for the lessons.
Thank you so much for the clear explanations. It has been a terrible struggle trying to wrap my head around the Genki rules. I really appreciate your videos.
This. This is the one ive been needing help with. ありがとうございます！
Thank you so much for this lesson!
Thank you!!! You are such a life saver!
I think it definitely makes a lot more sense to say ichidan and godan verbs instead of ru and u verbs. It also helps a lot when you use verb bases instead of telling people to conjugate the verb to one of the forms that uses the base you need then taking off the ending ~
This is so well explained! Thank you for your verb conjugation tips!
Omg you make my day❤
Thanks a lot, it's so helpful😊
Thanks a lot!
I love how you make complicated things simple.
Doing kami-sama's work out here man, helping these folk overcome the Genki struggle!
Thank you for this video - this is the most simple way I’ve ever had it explained. You’re a lifesaver! Appreciate your content.
Matt is the best teacher in the world
OMFG THE ICHIDAN AND GODAN ARE AMAZING. SOOO STRAIGHTFORWARD. THANK YOU FOR SHARING MAN!!!!!
Brilliant video and a great enthusiastic teacher, thank you for putting out this content!
I love this guy's channel.
These videos are saving my life!
先鋭！最高ですよ！This is the best video about this lesson ever!
i have now watched veeeeery much of your channel... i have so much fun watching these videos while learning japanese, that i don't even feel like playing games myself atm!
i still do my daily kanji learning and about 5-6 lessons in duolingo each day to get new vocabulary and to have some training actually using it myself. which amounts to about 90 minutes per day, but i am watching like 3-4 hours of your videos on top of that and will continue to do so, until i've watched every single one there is! 😄
it already made the lessons so very simple, i no longer feel like i'm guessing, because i didn't fully understand things. i simply do it without much trouble! most mistakes by now, actually happen by making mistakes by typing too quickly haha
i just can't get enough! and this video in particular has been a frkn goldmine of information, it certainly all feels very simple after watching! :D
Wow! I am on this lesson now, what great timing. Thank you very much for this supplementation, wonderful!
Fantastic video, thank you so much, this was very helpful. I'm loving your videos it makes learning Japanese easier and enjoyable, and makes me keep going when I get stuck or unmotivated to keep going! Thank you!
Best Japanese learning channel ever 👌👌👌👌👌
Excellent content! You are an excellent teacher…thank you so much for making this available.
You do an amazing job really. Thank you a lot for your effort in making your videos, you are making learning japanese really enjoyable and easy.
What a wonderful time to learn Japanese.
Great video. Thank you!
Thanks for enjoying the video!
Thank you so much! your way of teaching helps me out a lot! The best learning material for Japanese out there!
Thanks for this vídeo is amazing your Genki serie. Will you make more vocabulary videos?
I'm late to this video, but I'm glad I could make the time. Awesome job.
And you're right, I never think of how to conjugate my verbs for the languages I'm fluent in, but I'm glad to go over it😁
So glad I found this video! I studied Japanese in highschool (over 12 years ago) and recently started Genki to re-learn, which has been great until this chapter, I somehow remember which ones are ru and u without thinking from when I last learnt, but when I’m doing the exercises I overthink too much and sometimes get them wrong; if I step away from the page, and think about the verbs, I know what’s right and wrong (muscle memory I guess?). It’s very frustrating! I suppose it’s kinda similar to English in whereby if I’m asked to point out “adverbs, irregular verbs” I’d overthink it because I just know them without knowing them 😵💫 Maybe I’ll just skip most of this chapter 😅 thanks!!
Wooooow, instant subscription and upvote from me 🎉
Yes, thank you! Nobody ever explained it like that, but it does seem a lot easier :D
I'm going to school in Japan and the first 2 weeks went perfect.. then we got to Chapter 3.. after watching this I feel a bit better but boy am I now worried about my future learning the language if this chapter already left me overwhelmed.
It definitely gets easier the more you learn! I totally understand how you feel, and honestly Genki is a pretty terrible textbook, it makes things so confusing at times. But I would say outside of verb/conjugation/honorifics, and perhaps Kanji (but you get used to it) the rest of the language is pretty straight forward :)
I hope you do well and enjoy your time at school in Japan! If you ever need any help feel free to ask! :)
@@GameGengo yeah I can't help but think maybe my school is moving way faster than most. The whole first Genki book in one semester seems brutal.
Love the videos, they've been a massive help in beginning my Japanese learning journey
Thanks so much for your support!
@@GameGengo I started about 2weeks ago so far I've learnt hiragana and katakana plus a bit of basic kanji. Aswell as some words and sentence structure from your videos plus it helps that I used to watch alot of anime. Your channel really inspired me to work hard to learn Japanese as my goal is to be able to play Kuro no kiseki and your channel is all about games.
Ohhhh that's awesome! A game with LOTS of reading practice in it! haha When do you see yourself trying to start playing in Japanese? I'd highly recommend checking out my 2nd most recent video on how to get started when you're thinking of trying to play! :D I hope you have fun!!
Great 👍
oh my god, this was so useful. verb conjugation was exactly my problem as well (though i use other books than genki). so many exceptions and hard to remember patterns... THIS IS REVOLUTIONARY :D thank you so much! (meh. now i have to go back and relearn all the verbs with nai-form haha, but better late than never lol).. makes me wonder though.. which grammar book or book series would you most likely recommend to get the basics in before immersion? (besides watching your top notch videos of course :))
Thanks for enjoying the video Sandra! Yeah for sure! I feel like there are definitely certain points that could be taught much easier to understand thab how they are taught! Hmm in terms of books id recommend...hmm i felt there wasnt really that many great options, which was why I started Game Gengo haha so hmmm i think UA-cam offers a far better experience than textbooks tbh
Even the best grammar dictionaries tend to be quite confusing and wordy, compared with just simply googling and getting your answer much quicker and simpler haha
@@GameGengo Haha ok, thanks for your answer! Then no pressure but I NEED MORE VIDEOS ASAP lol :D (just kidding). I love what you do ^_^
Damn I can't wait for the Lesson 4+ parts!
I think your videos are awesome😀Any products or suggestions for learning Genki vocabulary? Best, John
Blessed up keep it up im currently trying to survive my intense college japanese intro course :')
to knowing about ichidan and godan rules feels like becomming SSJ
Love your Videos, no doubt about that. I loved every single video which I have watched from you.
I just want to ask, is there a schedule for the genki series? I just want to know when to expect these videos.
Thanks so much! Im so glad you are enjoying the videos! Im currently working as a teacher while making these videos so my time is very limited. I work every spare second I have on these videos.i would really like to finish this series as soon as possible! Maybe looking at having the whole textbook finished by the end of the year. However i also make lots of other content so its a tough thing to balance with limited time haha i will do my best to get this series finished as quickly as I can though ❤ i hope you enjoy and good luck with your studies!
@@GameGengo
Please Take your time and don't overdue yourself.
We love your videos and will gladly wait for months for it.
I just wanted to ask when the rest is to be expected. And got my answer.
So please take your time, nobody wants you to get sick from exhaustion.

Hi, Matt! Greetings from Brazil! Quick feedback about this awesome video:
I like and I always use and teach the ichidan/godan classification over U/RU. God, it's SO much simpler to understand them by this classification, it's truly a life saver. But still, when we get to the "memorize" the ない form as a trick then the "trick", IMO, falls a bit apart.
I don"t like to rely on memorization case-by-case itself, cuz we'll be doing that a lot with kanjis, so I didn't find the trick that useful, as every new word we should memorize both the じしょ and ない.
I learned to differenciate ichidan from godan first, so I'm able to know the ない form starting from a じしょけい. I think the real tricky part lies on coming up with a system to get from じしょ to ない without relying on memorization, so the trick will work more efficiently.
So far I like the idea of IRU/ERU sound for ICHIDAN as a rule of thumb, picking only the most common exceptions to memorize. Like, they are 5-6 for the most common words in japanese: 入る、走る、要る、切る、知る and 帰る.
I find this small list of exception much more easier to handle, at first.
The complete list is far much greater, of course, but at least in the beginning this handful of verbs should suffice.
This is it, thanks in advance for reading my feedback, love your channel
u are goated
Hey Game Gengo could you do a video that just focuses on the ない form of verbs only please?
These videos are really great. I'm on lesson 7 in Genki and I keep wanting to play games in Japanese, but every time I switch everything over (Switch or PC) I see the blast of mainly unknown words and Kanji I panic and go back to English. Do you recommend struggling through with a dictionary or something or waiting a little longer before diving in? TYSVM
can we say that the DE particel is for actions that already are done in that place ? so for example past actions that already done ? and NI is for present or future locations ?
Does anybody have recommendations for an Anki deck that, for the verbs in the deck, either includes the ichidan/godan classification of the verb or its negative form?
Could someone please tell me the game that's in the background at 5:44? 🙏
Exceedingly helpful, even I managed to correctly guess some verbs and I'm incredibly stupid
MY LIFE IS SO MUCH EASIER NOW WJEWHHE
I’m super new, could u also just see if the ‘R’ is still in the negative form which means it wasn’t dropped so it’s ichidan? And if it’s gone it means it’s godan?
The whole Ichidan Godan section seems really helpful, but your Verb video ua-cam.com/video/dwlafs0odbQ/v-deo.html has none of the nai forms in there.
Is there a separate video that covers both or do I just have to google every one?
There are many many many verbs, and it would be impossible to have them all in one video. Even I come across new verbs every now and then after studying Japanese for over 12 years! haha
I AM however making a video right now for a complete verb conjugation, so you can know the nai form without needing to look it up ;) Great timing! Hope you enjoy!
I found this rule incredible helpful to conjugate verbs by looking at the nai form..
So..
What's the best way to learn the nai form first then? Is there a rule on how I can find them out without creating a list?
Is there another rule I can use similar to
Any update on this? I still haven't found a list of negative Verb conjugations
So after learning the nai, how to you know what sound goes with the other uses of the words?
I cover some of that in the Complete Verb Conjugation video, do you have an example of what you're talking about in particular?
Are the ロックマンエグゼ and 流星のロックマン good for learning japanese??
Ichidan verb tabe: on the い side ( polite form ) its tabemasu but shouldnt it end as tabei masu because of the vocal い ? or is this あ い う え お rule only for godan verbs
Matt, is there a textbook better than genki?
I'm brazilian, my english is not good at all, but I understood
Oh thats fantastic to hear! Im glad you could understand! ❤
Oh my god that's so much easier
You are pronouncing へ as a open e/é/eh but aren't vowel always closed like e from bend, lend, etc?
🎉🎉🎉
Learn 1 Japanese word every time he says actually
Actually....
Just...WOW! Thank you! Crystal clear explanations and breakdowns. 🤍👍🏼👏🏼
