i mean, they have a different new years and white day - i would not put it past them to add another day to the month just to mess with me personally ~3~
i was like 32 days... really and feeling so stupid then when she said its a joke i just wanted to kill myself for being that stupid to believe her :D :D
Miyashita-sensei is a great teacher and still teaching here at our language center! So if you're ever in NYC looking to take Japanese classes, please stop by www.japansociety.org/page/programs/language_center
+PrincessMica Mahiya There are many factors in how to understand Japanese quickly . One resource I found that succeeds in merging these is the Fergs Magic Blueprint (google it if you're interested) definately the best resource i've heard of. Look at all the super information .
For the days of the week, i still remember that our sensei lets us sing "nichi, getsu, ka, sui, moku, kin, do" in a somewhat 'itsy-bitsy spider' melody and since then i have never forgotten the days of the week. Just sharing- 😄
For Days in the Weeks : Fun fact, I realized back then the Days were named after Elements Sunday - nichi -youbi (日）Sun Monday - getsu -youbi (月）Moon Tuesday - ka -youbi (火）Fire Wednesday -sui -youbi (水）Water Thursday -moku -youbi (木）Wood Friday -kin -youbi (金）Metal Saturday -do -youbi (土）Earth This has helped me in remembering and I hoped it helps you too (instead of confusing you even more LOL)
The Chinese use the symbol for moon to mean month too, I presume the Japanese have taken this from them and then used it for Monday cos in english Monday does mean moon day. But in china it came to symbolise not Monday but the month cos of a new moon every month.
omg.at first i was like, "oh that's pretty simple.I just add nichi" then all of sudden when I heard YOKKO and YOUKO, I'm like, "0_o". And that 32nd shocked me haha I thought it was real.haha but still this video is very helpful. Ganbarimasu!
Days of Month 1-10 (Some hints that helped me out) Tsuitachi: 1st Day Futsuka: 2nd Day Mikka: 3rd Day Yokka: 4th Day (Kinda like 'Yon' =4) Itsuka: 5th Day Muika: 6th Day ( Kinda like sound-stressing the '3rd Day' Like the stress is like a double 3rd Day (3x2=6) ) Nanoka: 7th (Like the number 'Nana'=7) Youka: 8th Day (Like the same principle of the 3rd day but 4th. The stress of a long 4th Day=8th Day. (4 x 2=8)) Kokonoka- 9th Day( like Kyu-9.) Touka-10th Day (I suppose its like 'Ten' from English) Much thanks, Japan Society.
donnell outlaw thank you, it really help me to find out about this day, cause it suddenly get confuse about what is she suddenly talk about yokka and futsuka and ect
I listened to a dates of the month song (of the special numbers) before coming here. Then sensei's repetition in this video helped a lot to ingrain it. In my opinion, Miyashita-sensei's attentive expression (while teaching to a camera no less) reminds me of nice kindergarten teachers or kind older ladies that give treats. It makes kids (and adults!) comfortable and more willing to listen. After all, we're starting from kindergarten in Japanese.
OMG YOU HAVE BEEN TEACHING EVEN FROM THE TIME I WAS BORN! Being honest.. I tried many RU-vid channels to learn Japanese but Your teaching method is the most fun and understandable.. Pls don't stop your wonderful work
I totally agree with one of the comments... " we have 32nd days in Japan.... no, I'm kidding. " I could fall in love with that smile. Thank you for these videos'.
The basic foundation of learning this lesson is learning it's numbers. 1-10 1 - Ichi 2 - Ni 3 - San 4 - Shi 5 - Go 6 - Roku 7 - shichi/nana 8 - hachi 9 - kuu 10 - juu
When reviewing all of the non-standard days of the month in random order (4:28 - 5:05), it feels like my head is going to explode, but now that I've watched it ten times in a row, I think I've got them memorized.
Your videos are amazing I've been wanting to learn Japanese for quite a while but I though I'd never learn tho I already speak to languages which are Spanish and English I've always been interested in Japanese, German and French but your videos have made it SOO easy to learn an as I take notes I'm learning a lot thank you!!
i love her shes like the best language teacher she isnt saying much but its so easy to understand and the description jas all the important parts written down so i can copy them i my notebook.
This is one major hurdle in Japanese learning, but this sensei teaches very well. I have to watch it over and over again until I fully memorize this part.
I bought quite a lot of Japanese books to learn but i gave up. It was so difficult to learn on my own. Today just by chance i saw this video, my interest of learning Japanese comes back again. The video and other viewers comments were so helpful to kick start learning again. Thank you so much.
For the first 10 days/dates, there is a special reading to them (ex: yokka). But for numbers over 10 (11~) there isn't, so that's why it's jyuuroku nichi (10 + 6 day).
I was watching Terrace House. In the show, the members go on dates with each other. The feeling I got after understanding their fixing dates(number) without looking at the subtitles is so good. Arigato Sensei!!!✨
Currently trying to be a functional Japanese speaker and I have two months to do it. These videos are perfect for me to listen to while I’m at work. So thank you 🙏. I’ll come back to leave an update.
I find it so gratifying to learn japanese - knowing that I'm learning something and if I fully learn it, I could play all the games I want in Japanese and be able to understand what the characters are saying. It's a bit exciting to see some of what I've learned, I can read it at times and when my fav character says something, I understand them. Like, there's a difference between the translation and original language, and sometimes the tone or manner in which it's said in is lost.
Finally found a place on youtube where I can understand what is being taught and understand everything clearly , the lady who is teaching is so nice . Arigatou Gozaimasu !!
Thank you for this helpful video! I was looking for a study aid for my Japanese 1 class and this was the best video to help me learn calendar days. I played the video back many times to test myself and I have it down now. ありがとうございます！
i was like. oh there's no 32 days in a month and the lady said: Yes there's 32 in Japan. and i was like oh.. and the lady said: Kidding Me: you got me! Lol!
Is it just me, or when she demonstrate the difference between 4th (yokka) and the 8th (youka) she says "långsamt"? I'm from Sweden and in Swedish it means "slowly" or in this case "stretched". Does she speak Swedish as well? I was just really surprised to hear that word! Thank you for an awesome lesson series, it has helped me TREMENDOUSLY!
