      Took me a while to realize the meme format because 「noun + "it is"」 just sounds like a literal translation of 「noun + です」, so in my head, I thought of it that way.

    Since I started watching your videos I have been practicing Japanese everyday!! Thank you for giving me the motivation I needed to get started once again!! I studied Japanese in middle and high school but forgot a lot of what I learned because I never had to use it. Your video lessons have taught me more practical Japanese than I learned in those 4 years of traditional learning. I am so grateful to you Miku Sensei!! Your hard work and passion to share Japanese culture and language with the world is so inspiring. Arigato from Seattle, Washington!!

    Very effective, concise and organized lessons, totally worth a marathon watch (especially this potential form, argh).

    Miku-sensei! Could you do a lesson on 筈 (はず)? I saw your video on the difference between しっぱなし and したまま because I struggled with those two structures for a while and your explanation really helped a lot! I would've never guessed that the difference regarding that one usage was the connotation but now I know. I'm really looking forward to a lesson on 筈 (はず) since you explained しっぱなし and したまま in a way that was super easy to follow and understand. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could do one soon. ありがとうございます

    I was taught Japanese from a young age, however, I am not 100% fluent in it. That's why when I started taking a Japanese course in college, this potential form threw me off because I always practiced ら抜き言 when speaking at home. Thanks to your video I was able to clear any confusion about potential form, I appreciate it very much!

    Another way to say the potential is to say the dictionary form of the verb plus koto ga dekiru. I do it all the time because I can't always remember the potential form of each verb. My tutor understands it when we converse in Japanese, but she says it sounds odd and she wants me to learn all the potential forms. But it does make a good default if you can't remember on the spot.

      The られる is not the problem. The problem is that if you grow up speaking English you won't have learned to pronunce that "R".
      That sound natural for me to both listen and speak that because my mother tongue is from a Latin family and have that phonem as most of them.

    With that last example, it seems like the correct particle to use is と, as in 今月は家族と会えなかった. After all, you couldn't meet "with" your family this month, not "in" them. I understand that this is just one of those weird quirks of the Japanese language that you have to get used to.

    Alice sees - Aliceが見る
    Alice sees Bob - AliceがBobを見る
    Alice sees Bob
    with implizit subject - Bobを見る
    ----------------------
    (1) Alice can see - Aliceが見られる
    (2) Alice can see Bob - AliceがBobを見られる // can we have to ga particles here????
    (3) Alice can see Bob
    with implizit subject - Bobが見られる // so here wo becomes ga, right?
    // but wait, isnt that the exact same form as (1) ????
    So we cannot differentiate Between
    Alice can see // Alice can be seen
    based on grammar alone, right?
    This seems weird because I thought we have a subject marker が to avoid ambiguity.
