Brilliant. The first person I found on UA-cam who actually breaks it into semantics and etymological structure, which makes it - finally - understandable. Most of even official manuals give an equivalent of the meaning for an entire sentences without literal translation, where you're supposed to memorise it without understanding what every word actually means. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for intelligible teaching.
I've been studying Japanese on and off since 2018, and I couldn't agree more. In order for me to comprehend what I'm saying, I need to know the literal meaning of the sentence structure. I've been able to pass N4 by figuring it out on my own for the most part, but having a teacher who can break down the sentences is key for me. I find it easier to "think" in Japanese when i have a better understanding of what each part of the sentence means.
Yes, finally! Someone who breaks down the most well-known words down to their etymological level. It makes it easier to understand, faster to retain, and to use. Thank you!
Man, if my teachers had had 10% of your positive energy, I would have been a completely different person. Your content is great, keep up the good work.
This video is a really great instruction. The format, the lesson-like structure, the great examples. Having these practical and detailed videos cover the many different variables helps so much in learning how to speak the language correctly. Thank you very much for all the work you put into these videos.
@@NihongoDekita I appreciate how you gave the subtitles corresponding colors to the English translations. Very helpful! Your channel is superb! And you speak English perfectly!
@@NihongoDekitaFirst time coming across your channel. So much thought put into your videos, love the technical explanations and clear text on screen. You’ve got a new subscriber 👍
lmao, as an anime fan I was actually thinking about that "matte kudasai" when you were explaining earlier. I am glad you came to that also later. ありがとうございます。
Thank you for this - duolingo has some serious limitations, and your videos really help fill in the gaps and put thingsinto context. Sensei, arigato gozaimasu!
Your teaching style is very attractive, 1st time,I listen clearly japanese words from japanese people, also ,Your English spoken is very best as a japanese
I remember learning to say "mou ichido motto yukkuri itte kudasai". And of course you explained what made that different when you mentioned verbs, :) Nice!
This is one of those grammer points you have to learn 1-2x and then just notice the different rules in real life scenarios to really aquire it. Great explanation as always 😊👍
Very helpful for distinguishing between usage. I was going to ask why I always hear ください at the train stations, but you went right into the explanation! ありがとうございなす！
I just started studying Japanese on my own about 5 months ago through duolingo and your videos provide easy to understand answers. Knowing when, how and why to use a Japanese phrase makes it so much easier (and fun). ありがとございます!!
Hi! Maybe this can be useful to you. I think you can't use くれる with ありがとうございます since くれる is casual and ありがとうございます is formal. It would be better to just say ありがとう. Like in 教えてくれてありがとう. I don't know if you noticed but the teacher also used this pattern when she was thanking us for watching her video until the end. 最後まで見てくれてありがとう. Well I didn't mean to bother. Just sharing what I learned.
I started using an App to learn Japanese and it's starting with the Basics . I learned 下さい already but it started teaching me お願いします。Scrolling through my UA-cam feed , I find your video. Perfect timing . You explained to me the difference. I appreciate it.
I'm travelling here for up to 3 months, and I have to say the language is beautiful, especially in the audible form. I love listening to people talk. It will take years for me to learn properly, but I am already way ahead of where I was last time I visited in 2016. Mostly thanks to your videos and lots of preparation. It's a pity my calendar didn't line up with your learning tour, it would have been a lot of fun.
You’ve just re-energized my enthusiasm to learn Japanese again. I love your situational explanations that make sense in my mind so that I’m understanding rather than just memorizing words. So a Big thank you!
Hey there Sayaka! I just came across this video, and how informative! I remember studying in Japan in 2000, and I think it took me 2 months (and a lot of mistakes) to learn this lesson! I'm looking forward to reviewing my Japanese with your lessons! Thanks a bunch!
I just started following you on Instagram and this is your first video I see; very clear explanations, the visual support is great, and the breakdown very useful, どうもありがとうお願いします 🙏
Even tho I speak the language on a high level, sometimes it is nice to watch a video like this, so I can explain these things correctly to my students :) My intuitions were correct about "tangible" things, but I used a way more complicated explaination before. Thank you
Thanks so much for the incredibly helpful video! I will be traveling to Japan soon and want to learn some essential phrases. Even though the languages are very different, it is fun to hear things like roots that are similar to other languages I know (English, Spanish, and Khmer).
Wow! Impressive! Quite easy way of teaching Japanese and pretty good English. Congrats from a Venezuelan teacher of English committed to learn Japanese.
as someone who just got back from japan and over time learned through repeated listening what all of the things they say on the announcer mean, i wish i watched this video
I have been learning basic japanese through the old pimsleur cd method the way they describe the use of onegaishimasu is you are asking for a favour so example biiru onegaishimasu, you are saying could you do me a favour and get me a beer. kudasai they just describe it as please. I'd like to add that this channel has helped me quite a lot with words especially slang words and everyday shortened words cause its hard to wrap your mind around some times and the way Sayaka-san breaks down the words and sentences on here makes it easy to learn so I am very grateful for this channel ❤
Your breakdown of Japanese language components are excellent. Your presentation technique is very logical. My problem is retention of your lesson. I do really appreciate listening and if I could retain even half of what you presented I would be language proficient and confident in Japanese. Thank you for your videos. I have to always go back and review your videos. BTW, you would also be a great English 2nd language teacher also. Ja mata..
Thank you for this! I once asked my Japanese language instructor what the difference between kudasai and onegaishimasu is. She didn't really give me an answer, and my classmates looked at me like I'd asked a very stupid question...
They way I can remember the tangible/intangible distinction is that ください can also be written as 下さい, with 下 meaning down or lower. So if it's something that can be "put down", then ください is applicable. Otherwise use お願いします.
Thank you! There are many videos that try to explain this. YOUR video is the Best and Easiest to understand the differences between Kudasai and Onegaishimasu. THANK YOU! 😊
Super interesting how I could not explain in words when to use one or the other, but after living in Tokyo for half a year one just "feels right", like I had NO idea why you say "お会計お願いします" instead of "お会計ください", except that the latter sounds absolutely wrong
When you said the train station announcement it took me right back to when I used to get the train to language school in Shin-Okubo every day! This phrase is burned into my brain haha, pretty sure I used to hear it in my sleep 🤣🤣 まもなく、三番線に快速東京行きが参ります。 黄色い点字ブロックまでおさがりください I love how it’s slightly different at all the different stations lol
I want to thank you because you have a very unique way to teach , very intelligible and even funny , lucky for me I learned English too,you really really didnt need to mention the " thumb up" words, Everybody who is able to see you and to hear you will give you "TWO THUMBS UP" .Tank you so much for your helpful videos ❤
I'm a total beginner (only just finished learning Kana) and most of this was very helpful. I'm afraid I got a bit out of my depth around 7:20, but I'm sure it will all become clear. 😁 ありがとうございます。

Elementary school teacher 30 years ago just said mouichidou to a kid, without politeness.
so true
literal translation is SO important. how else do you expect me to understand why you're saying it that way?

"BUT THERE IS AN EXCEPTION...." Every language, every time you think you got it 😂
Wait till you see Latin!

Good thing my native language is portuguese, which has no exceptions in any rule. except...

Literally.

think i just learnt more in ten minutes than i did in two years of studying japanese at uni!

@@pingteo6104it’s reallllly bad about that 😅
This is wonderful!! Having the english and Japanese written underneath as you explain is so so helpful! Bless you for this video
