How To Give Directions in Japanese┃Go Straight, Turn, Next to...日本語で道案内 

honestly: there is no one who goes so much into every little detail of the language as you do. I appreciate that extra mile. it does wonders for my ability to really UNDERSTAND Japanese - instead of just recognising patterns. means: even if I know the stuff, I learn something new every time!

Very comfortable style of lesson. I am particularly impressed with the color coding system you use. It is very helpful in seeing the functions of particles in a sentence and the differences in layout between English sentence construction and Japanese. It's also rather nice that you've got the Romaji version of the text on the screen, but have it de-emphasized in a faded grey so it is easy to ignore.

Thank you so much Misa-san I'll be forever in your debt. I wish you with all health and happiness you deserve and more

YOU ARE LITERALLY THE BEST!!! Thank you so much sensei!!! You taught me so much in such a small time and helped me with my exam : D Thank you for putting SO MUCH effort in to your lessons!!!

Hi Misa-sensei and every one of the Japanese learning community. I have a question that may need a native speaker like you to help. Is it a matter of the order of phrases using in a sentence? For example: (1) Please go ahead of me, I am busy now. (2) I am busy now, please go ahead of me. Does Japanese use/refer (1) or (2)? In my own language (Vietnamese), we accept both. Thank you for your help! Love from Viet Nam.

I particular searched for your lesson on directions to understand it better from Genki 1. i dont know why people do a thumbs down

I follow several Japanese (and Korean) instructional channels but Misa, you are the best! Thank you for everything

先生、お疲れ様でした。今回もたのしかったです。 実は授業で使う地図は面白いと思うんですが。。。先生に良ければ、完全な地図を見せていただけないでしょうか。

Liked this video because “Peter Pan” was the name of the bread shop.

You know what's funny, I have trouble understanding directions even in English, my native language!

Lol. In portuguese we say "Go this way all life" it seems universal

You know its a good teacher if they have 290 likes and 0 dislikes

Honestly I love these lessons they're so helpful especially since you explain why you use certain words. Its also nice that you put the words on the screen along with their translations. Kinda random but I think im gonna draw you as an anime girl cause your hair style kinda reminds me of an anime girl

Understanding, making and speaking sentences may be hard even when u memorize the words. But dont give up!! Thank you for your lessons!!!

I have no complain abt the lesson content but.... Sensei, could you choose a more suitable outfit next time ? I'VE BEEN WATCHING MANY YOUR VIDEOS AND THIS IS THE 1ST TIME I HAVE TO SAY THIS.

Great and informative lesson. ありがとうございますみさ先生🍎

I'm a little confused about what the を is doing in sentences like 二つ目の角を左に曲がると、 I thought the を was always paired up with a transitive verb (apparently not), but I don't know why it's being used instead of some other particle like に、で、へ、etc.

Wow your explanations are very easy to understand and English is not even my native language, thank you very much I will stay a while on this channel.

ピーターパンはすてきなパン屋の名前ですね！

Now I can finally play my Japanese copy of Burning Rangers without getting lost for 10 minutes 😎👌

the amount of work, effort and dedication in these videos is impressive. Thank you Misa sensei

先生質問があります。 Can we use these alternatively? I mean are they same? その道 = そこの道 ? その角 = そこの角 ?

I think that you are very pretty 😊

misa kawaii

Really thanks for the Japanese lessons Misa. When are you gonna talk about ていくand てくる? I really want to know more details about them.

You deserve much more subscribers than you have now....you are doing an excellent job.

Your lessons are first class. Practical, understandable, and to the point.

No specific counters for corners and traffic lights??? :D

has anyone ever said that your english has a slightly british accent ? i really like it

Misa sensei, could you make a video for KATA or the way of doing things

9:40 "where is the library?" que significa "no negocio con terroristas" XD I loved this video really good lesson as always

As a foreigner, I was asked multiple times for directions in cities that I lived. Haha its always a funny twist. Luckily it was always fairly simple directions because while I can speak Japanese and english, I do not speak directions. Haha I suck at giving directions in any language.

This comment doesn't fit well, because it is a themed video. Yet I wanted to say that I like the way your videos are structured. Like atm I'm a bit fed up on grammar videos (in a way that I prefer to rehearse them before moving on to the next ones), so the new videos I watch right now mostly are vocab videos and I like the way how you can mix different types of videos at different times without them being too hard or too easy. It always just fits somehow in a way, that you can learn something from them, no matter of how far advanced you might or might not be. If the grammar is easy there are vocabs and kanji to learn from a video, if the grammar is hard or new the vocabulary remains familiar, so there is something like a "comfort zone" in each of the videos. Which is kind of unsuspected, but welcoming, considering that most of the time it is: "Lesson 1, then lesson 2 and if you skipped 1, you won't get 2 and beyond right." So I guess I just wanted to say that you're an extraordinary teacher and a great sensei.

Flipped Misa... asiM

This is so thorough. I love that you teach several ways to say the directions and the subtitles in different colours break down the phrases. So helpful.

this video is extremely useful!!! ありがとうございます

Bank is pronounced more like 'bang' with a 'k' at the end. ベンク, not バンク. Also, thanks for the amazing lesson!

Need lots of practice with this one! Thank you Misa 先生

misa、you are such a wonderful teacher. not only do I learn Japanese from you, you actually help me get through the situation that I have no idea what I'm doing 🥺... watching you talk again and again help me feel better. thanks a lot

Thank you so much Misa sensei, Take care. :)

Love these! Such cute art

Nice I was just thinking about how to give directions! 😁

ありがとうございました！このビデオが本当に面白くて、大切ですね。When I visited Japan last year, I got really lost one day. I was rescued by two high school boys, one of which was deaf. I did not anticipate that kind of language barrier. lol

Question for Misa or anyone in the comments here. How do you recommend taking notes on these lessons? Do you guys write with different colored pens to match her color coding?

I first saw your vids almost 3 years ago or maybe a bit longer. I would listen to them on my way to work. Now I'm back in school and preparing to go to Tokyo next spring (Hitotsubashi U) so I'm making a big push to get as close to fluent as possible, and there was something I didn't fully get in class today and there you are just like you were all those years ago. I wish you had another $50/mo slot open on Patreon so I could scoop that up so I could get the best help possible outside of my self and class studies before making a fool of myself in Japan. But I guess for now I'll just keep checking to see if one opens up and leave random likes on videos I use between now and next March. ありがとうございました。

I love your australian accent

i remember reading the Miles Edgeworth manga and he and Detective Gumshoe were wandering around looking for a hospital. One of the 'translator notes' said trying to find a place based on vague knowledge of directions is a very Japanese thing to do. I always thought that was kinda interesting

So well explained

Thank you so much for the lesson!

Misa sensei always brings the goods and could explain really well. Thank you again! :) That someone would even click that dislike button is just mind-boggling.

This is incredible. 10 minutes in, and I completely understand what's happening! What an amazing teacher.

Biggest takeaways from this are that my lessons may have been wrong (didn't learn dono kurai, but dore kurai, for how long something would take) and asking where a barber shop is would probably lead me to a hospital (and vice-versa). Also, the acoustics of that room (mostly standing waves, cause by parallel surfaces) made it a bit difficult to understand what was said at certain points, while you were speaking Japanese, but lack of familiarity is partially responsible too

You should sell this content. Your lessons are suuuper well done and I can tell you've put a lot of time into this. Your way of teaching is really good. ( But I really appreciate that it doesn't cost me anything! xD )

Thank You Sensei Greetings from Malaysia

Thanks

Great content! 😍 you really bring me to the next level!

Ahh remembering good old beginner days. Love you Misa ♥️

This is really helpful. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much; giving directions is a must for every Japanese student to learn for tests.

I got a bit confused. What its the difference between 曲がる (magaru) and 曲がって (magatte). The TE form is used to, like, request/suggest something, right? It's just because in the beginning she didn't use 曲がって.

ありがとうございます。 I love that how much effort you put in every single of your lessons. But could you consider buying a mic cause your sound has some echos.

I really like your haircut here! It's so cute and it suits you very well!

You are the Best teacher! I speak Japanese for a long, but in your videos i learn a lot more

22:12 the pattern is Place に something が あります。 But then we use この近くにATMはありますか。 Why?

となりのトトロ　is a great song, misa, thank you for your sharing. yup, i have been watching this video in particular for three days. thanks for ur accompany hehehe.... stalker Lok

ここからどれくらいかかりますか is such a tongue twister 😂

Such a detailed video. Don't know what I would learn without you! Arigatou :)

it was like a private lesson i appreciate it so much. ありがとう❤

みさ先生、please make a video of how to use the word たしかに in a sentence🙏

Thank you sooooo much sensei! You are the BEST Can you also teach us how to say to cross the pedestrian crossing?

Thank you for your videos Misa! Do you think you could make some lessons on 尊敬語, 謙譲語 and 丁寧語?

I'm too excited to learn some words today!!!! Let's goooooo

I wish there was something like this in korean. I learn korean for a while now but my level is still shit. I am afraid that my japanese gets better than my korean soon😭 so frustrating

Thank you so much I thought I'd know everything from this video but I learned some stuff!

This video is extremely helpful! みさ先生、どうもありがとうぞざいました。
