I am currently preparing an online school for Japanese language learners whose dream is to be able to speak Japanese. The school’s number one goal is to help people who are not confident in speaking Japanese learn to speak it well. We create memorable classes that resonate emotionally with students, so that when it’s time to speak, you will find yourself speaking naturally. The content of the class itself is created by a Japanese language teacher, myself, and a designer. Since I am not a professional Japanese language teacher, I thought it would be better to have a professional teach instead. The fee has not been finalized yet, but it will be about the same as other Japanese language schools.
Classes will be offered every 3 months (1 term) starting next April. We are preparing 3 courses per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and 2 courses per week (Tuesday, Thursday) for 3 months.
In order to maintain the quality of the classes, we, unfortunately, can not take many students in the beginning.
So, if anyone is interested, please pre-register using the link below, as we are considering admitting students on a registration basis. This will help us understand if we need additional teachers.

What they say about contrast or emphasis are not all set in stone rules. It depends on the context and what some people consider contrast is not contrast for others. (This is a pen. This is a table. Is this contrast? これはペンです。これはテーブルです。How about this??) And linguists and teachers try their best to analyze and describe the language but it's difficult sometimes. In my opinion we don’t use Ga very much except for when you really want to emphasize it or you talk about the future or the past as I said in this video. It’s difficult to understand Wa and Ga logically but I’m happy that you could get the feeling of Ga and Wa in my video!

You're the best at explaining stuff. Keep it up! Thank you!

@shr6482 3 года назад

It actually fits with the meaning that Hitoki is trying to convey in the video. The particle "ga" is used to specify/differentiate whereas "wa" is a general statement.

@FairyTailGrey 3 года назад

I can speake fluent Japanese (Since im living in Japan for 10 years) and i think 私は (Watashi wa) is used when you want to put emphasis in what is coming after that WA, but when you use 私が (Watashi ga) is when you want to put more emphasis in what is before GA. Thats like the mental image i have with those particles, example: Talking with a friend: -"Anata wa doko ni sundeimasuka?" (Where are you living?) -"Watashi wa Tokyo ni sundeimasu" (Im living in Tokyo) Since the most important part of the sentence is the place where youre living (Main focus of this chat is coming AFTER particle) you use WA. But in the case of GA: Talking with a nurse: -"Doko ga itaindesuka?" (Where do you have pain?) -"Ude ga itaii desu" (I have pain in my arm) Since the most important part of the sentence is the part of your body where you have the pain (Main focus of this chat is coming BEFORE particle) you use GA. In the end and once you get use to the language, i think you know where to use those particles even without thinking, also... Japanese people understand how difficult is to us to learn the language, so they are pretty nice and understanding about those little mistakes. PS: Sorry if my English grammar sucks, im an Spaniard and little by little im forgeting English! T_T

"Ore" = no. Unless there's a literal fox incubating inside you AND you're yakuza, it's best to avoid it altogether in actual Japanese conversation. Depending on context and relationship of speaker to listener, the most likely response in that exchange would be: "Levi to iimasu." If this is an introduction, this would presumably be followed by a "Yoroshiku onegai shimasu!" or much more formally, "Riibai (Levi) to moushimasu. Yoroshiku onegai itashimasu". Hope this helps!

Then he stopped and now just repeats my way of speaking. It just works lol So I try to do the same with japanese and even english. If I don't know how to use a particle or word, it just means I haven't heard it yet, so I keep listening and reading to learn new phrases and ways of speaking. This is also why your videos are important to me, thank you!

@jeffsfolio 3 года назад

I’m a beginner at Japanese so I had to slow the video to 50% to read the English subtitles. After having a good idea of what you were talking about, I rewatched to see if I recognized any words and/or kanji from my study. I am so pleased to say that I could recognize 25% of the kanji and about 50% of the words. I could, if I spent enough time studying your video, I probably would have understood most of the concepts you taught without English subtitles. So exciting!!! About the video, this was such a great explanation. Most Japanese teachers only focus on what the particles actually do, not how to misuse them and why using them at the wrong time sounds wrong/funny. This aspect of your lessons are great. I think more language teachers could learn from your example. It not only adds humor, but it gives much more context. Both necessary for swift language learning.

I’ve been teaching myself Japanese for years and I need to say this is the single most useful hint I have ever encountered. Since I began over ten years ago, it was always explained to me that は was exclusively for the subject, or “topic” of the conversation and is generally implied after the initial use, whereas が was to be used thereafter until the subject was changed. Needless to say, that is just damn confusing when conversations can shift rapidly from subject to subject. Having it explained like this is a massive help! ありがとうございます、ひとき先生(⌒▽⌒)

So 'wa' is basically 'a/an' and 'ga' is 'the'. Except it is also used in cases of name, so that part isn't very similar to English. But I suppose if referring to a king or something you'd use 'ga' and 'wa' in case of your name.

@japoneze6507 3 года назад

If you think about it as 定・不定冠詞、then you would probably fail the exam. Why? Because Japanese Language has got no such thing as 冠詞。It would be wrong to thing about は and が as "an" or "the". In stead, try thinking about it this way は is the TOPIC particle. Whatever attached to は　（○○は）would be the main theme of the sentence. Ex 私は you are explicity talking about yourself. 学校は You're using School as the main theme. That's why it IS possible to say something like 学校には昨日行きました。今日は友達の家に。("TO SCHOOL" as the main topic of the first sentence, and you are saying that - depending on the context, it has to be obvious who are you talking about. - something has already went [to school] yesterday. And in the next sentence, you change the topic and say "Today", that person will go to a friend's house. And let's think about it a little bit. How would you most probably be talking about? Who are you almost sure that would go to see a friend to their house? YOURSELF. That's why in propper English the sentence would translate as "To school I've already been yesterday, today I'll go to a friend's house") Furthermore, you can say この部屋には椅子がない　(There are no chairs in this room - it is a strange situation. There SHOULD be chairs here) この部屋には椅子はない　 (There are no chairs in this room - it is a normal situation. There SHOULD NOT be chairs here) 日本語が難しい　(Japanese is difficult FOR ME. IT'S HOW I FEEL THE LANGUAGE FROM A VERY PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE. Thus, is not a "normal" situation, you use が). One extra fact about this が use. As for many people, it would be new information that you feel it difficult. That's why you can think of it as "new information" 日本語は難しい　(Japanese is INDEED difficult. You are taking for granted that for EVERYONE it is the same, and there is no doubt that it IS difficult. It is noraml for it to be difficult. It would be strange if it was easy. That's the point). And in contrast with the last jot in the previous sentence, you can think about this は as "general truth" or "well known information" じゃ、問題です。空(?)青いです空(?)赤いです What do these sentence mean? Replace the question mark with the propper particle.
