Ohhhh

A new hero has joined the battle!

Excellent spotting. This has made it incredibly easy to remember.

@@MrSceneNineI'm glad it's helped someone else!

Thanks!

I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH

Blast. I was hoping it came from Dutch. Ah well, we still have ビール

Dutch is very close to German...

He pronounced it pretty cute😁

I‘m German too(☝︎ ՞ਊ ՞)☝︎

@@JHD42 i mean that still looks like german hahahah

Fuck I missed up on like half of them.

Same, I didn't realise I couldn't do that anymore!

Me too, I don't think I ever learnt it tbh.

Rowan Hazard Hey, if you're a fan of One Piece (the picture on your profile), you should recognize the name Sanji and the names of his siblings.

The goal of these lessons is purely book and online course support so I am avoiding teaching outside of the actual lesson. A little bit is okay because all teachers do this. These videos are ONE on ONE lessons in my mind and I assume everyone could handle よる. Also I was working on a new version of YesJapan.com over the last month so I didn't have any time to continue making the videos series so I stretched with the older unreleased 2012 videos until I had more time. Over the next few days I will try to complete course 2 videos. Yesterday I made 6.

I see. I can't wait for your next videos. Do you know when Book 5 will be out? What's new from Book 4 just wondering if you want to give a quick teaser. I told my friend about you and he recently moved to Japan with his wife but he's in Niigata and he wants to learn some Japanese. I recommended you because you're an awesome sensei.

Everything in book 5 will be new from book 4 since it's the next book. Thanks for the recommendation. I think Kanji From Zero! book 1 will release before book 5 of Japanese From Zero!. I feel like George RR Martin now promising that eventually the next book will come out.

Lol haha. Thanks for the update. Look forward to what the front cover will look like when it comes out.

Now if you look back again, how's it now?

I have tons more content for even when you finish this series! And when you are sick of me there are TONS of other fantastic people teaching Japanese too. Keep going!

How could someone be sick of someone so Great

Before I began watching your videos, I felt scrambled but now, I have an orderly way of learning it because of your series! Never thought I'd get to this point.. by the way, do you think there's any way you could make a video over the Japanese counters? I don't have a book but I wasn't able to rlly practice them honestly. I googled them but the sources weren't so reliable! If you could do that, that would be wonderful! No pressure though. I appreciate the fact that you go at a slow pace. You've made me realize that slow and steady wins the race! 😁

You must have missed the video I did on counters. It is in this series. It's #27. There will be MORE counter videos coming later in course 2 and also in course 3. So stay tuned, but go watch video #27. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NFCbjJt0qQE.html

Okay thanks! Is the list of all the counter numbers on your website? If so, where can I find them?

I don't teach Japanese as lists like that. I teach it in a way that makes a progression possible. If there was a list of counters then people would focus on memorizing the list and I don't think that is effective. I am sure you can EASILY find a list on Google of every Japanese counter possible.

It's understandable! I'll just continue learning it using your method then~ it's really helpful! Thanks!

Thanks! That is high praise. My goal is to make it feel like a 1 on 1 lesson.

I just had a Diet Coke. Nothing has changed.

I don't get it. I can see y this way is rarely used now.

Also if it is before half past we say minutes before the hour mostly - as in 25 past 3 (3:25), but after half past we say it in normal order - three thirty five (3:35).

or we say minutes approaching the next hour - 25 to 4 (3:35)

Yes we are a weird mob George lol Good movie to learn about Australia 'They're a weird mob'!

In America we also say 3:30, saying "half past 3" is more of an older generation type of thing.

Yup 👍🏻

I don't think I'll ever understand this explanation.

It's probably the same. Or it might be covered in one of the later books.

We were all having a good time, then you had to come along and say something rude.

You can feel free to NOT watch. You obviously don't care about my life story and I don't care about your opinion of that... so please just go to another channel. There are cute girls on some of them.

@@MyLittleMagneton What did he say?

asa = morning gozen = a.m.

Arbeit (pronounced like the japanese word minus u and o) means work. Actually in the regular sense like in english. Most commonly used for work in the sense of a job and in the sense of larger set of chroes that need to be done. Fun fact - the racist slang for Chinese/Japanese (used in stupid jokes) in germany switches all the 'r' sounds for 'l' sounds. So this could be used in a racist-ish joke. Though this was mainly used in the past years. These days its not common any more.

No. The topic comes at the BEGINNING of a sentence and a topic marker is used to mark it. The question or words about the topic are AFTER. Yasumi WA nanji desu ka. (What time is your break?) If you use the verb version "to take a break" YASUMU then you can say: Nanji ni yasumimasu ka. (What time do you take a break?)

When are you going? Seven. Think about it like that. NI particle is combined with a verb other than DESU. So it’s wrong to have “NI DESU”. Shichi ji ni desu would be similar to saying “I’m at seven”. I often say this but it’s very true in this case, asking why a language does something is often just answered “it just does”. If you are looking for logic you won’t find it because you are asking why Japanese doesn’t do the same thing English does when English has a complicated origin story. Its origin story doesn’t neatly line up with an the equally complicated origin story for Japanese, so sometimes the answer just is… “because it doesn’t do that”. If you want to say Shichi ji ni the verb ikimasu or other verb should follow but never desu.

@@japanesefromzero Perfect, thanks for the explanation George! :)

Half past is said in Britain too. I don't blame George for not knowing, but "Half-past" is a lot more common than "Half *".

なに??? ななじ? 😳😳😳😳😳

なな = 7

@@mariostar13 bruh I know but I was surprised you always say that

Y don't u just say "shichi ji" for am and the other one for pm?

This video summarises why, but be warned that it's in Japanese: ru-vid.comiDlNSIxaMRQ

Yes

No, やすみ is a subject and it needs a marker は。やすみはなんじですか。

Lmaoooo

you: What time is it? me: I can't break up. you: I was just asking the time! Sheeh Riley you always take EVERYTHING I say out of context! You know my love for you is strong! me: Are you saying I smell???

24 hours is a global standard because of how days on earth work. Yes.

Most people in Japan won't use this, but some do, including military. Midnight actually becomes れいじ (Zero o'clock) in the 24 hour format.

+Atomic Robo Tesla actully depends on country, in Poland we rarely use 12hour format and its never used formaly at all, when in US stuff i see it used all the time. But UTC (space time) is never written in 12h format regardles of region.

It wasn’t exactly hidden.

Nevermind. わかりました。

Glad you figured it out. That is an ENGLISH concept to say "It's at 3." In Japanese there is a rule. Well it's not a REAL rule but it works so it's a rule. You can NEVER have a particle directly in front of DESU (except の or も). I just kind of made this rule so it might break with ... yeah I broke it in my head with まで and から .... ok soooooo yeah you just can't use にです ever.

@@japanesefromzero ありがとうございます！I'll keep that in mind.
