Easy Japanese 4 - Martial Arts 

This is the best series since Easy German. The interviewer is ADORABLE, the production quality is excellent, and all Japanese people are awesome!

I started learning Japanese a couple months ago, and after working as hard as I could I am just starting to pick up bits and pieces in sentences. Its an awesome feeling! These series are very helpful, please keep making them! ありがとうございますもなさん！！

4:55. Casual interview. In the background: SOUNDS OF WAR

I guess I need discipline, hard work, and patience over the years of learning Japanese language. Feels like I'm a martial artist fighting my own self during training. Procrastination and climb over the plateau from JLPT N4 to N3 to N2? is really hard to beat. Cultivation of the core skills of speaking, reading, writing, and listening is somewhat like the cultivation of attack, defense, mind and body relaxation, and spiritual/will power skills. Really hard to accomplish a career in being an interpreter. I need more devotion and passion in acquiring large amount of vocabulary and good sense of advanced grammar and speaking application, with real sweat and blood like a full time martial artist.

I love that you write the romanization of the hiragana and katakana in the episodes.. thanks! I just wish the audio was a bit louder at times... Excellent video. :)

Mona is just so incredibly adorable. I love this series.

私、先週にキミガシネを遊びて、マインチャラはけんどをし、このチャラを覚えて、とても面白くて、うれしかった。 日本語を3年間ぐらい勉強していて、最近、もっとたくさん話を分かり、うれしいになったことですよ。

I'm totally in love with this series!

面白いですね！ありがとう

Very informative videos ! but it would be better if the camera moved less !

I miss my years in Sendai!!!

What was so funny when she used 外見 (2:46)? Was that a little flirty of her?

thank you so much for the video :D

興味を持っています。

to apaixonado por essa repórter kawai ! ahaha

I want to learn japanese so badly!

@Easy Languages What would Really help is if you could put a literal translation in English, by that I mean using English words , but still in Japanese structure and grammar. that way we can learn to understand the Japanese sentence structure. it would help, even though English words organized in a Japanese sentence with the same Japanese grammatical rules may seem a little strange. It would be a great help. Is there a video that does that?

The last guy is a big cutie.

3:17 和合という意味は「harmony」ですよ

aaaa I found out hidden gems after awhile

這集比較多專有名詞呢>_

I use a notebook to block off the romaji but can’t see the english subs as a result lol

Gong fu is interesting.

For the guy at 2:09 I would overcome my worries about the difficulties of learning japanese :D

May you please let me know how you add the English subtitles to the video?

Anyone beginning in japanese language?

I want to do Kendo now :c

Rskkkk 😂 😂 muito divertida gostei.

Anyone else think the guy at 0:51 is cute? ^.^ Plus the guy at 0:39 looks like Dr. Youn on YT

tiene mucho potencial esta waifu!

the interviewer looks like megu fujiura

One question, why does she say hajimetan desu ka instead of hajimemashita ka? Is it like slang?

Japanese men 😍
