3:41 - Explained to my wife, a native Japanese speaker, how the regular I verbs start at "a" and work their way through "i," "u," "e," and "o" row of the hiragana chart. She told me how she had never realized that before. It made conjugation easy for me, she was so used to it, she had never realized it.
sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Sincere Jaxton Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
You are totally right about being burnt out by doing too much, I got mid-way into book 3 and got so tired and lost all the momentum that I had. i stopped and forgot basic things. I now am going back and relearning everything at a better pace. i haven't given up :)
Was a little disheartened today as I found I had forgotten some things from previous lessons. Then as I was completing the mini quiz for this one on the online course I then smiled as I was writing the answers in my exercise book in hiragana and getting them correct. Made me think, 2 months ago I knew none of this. I've got book 1 now and will complete it as a refresher once I finish the online course. Then will head to book 2. Great content mate
I have certain experience learning languages I can totally say that this is the best free resource to learn Japanese. I can't wait to buy the books, I'm sure it will boost the learning x1000. Thank you again, sensei.
I love how you are so happy for us and thank you for everything ! I'm only 14 and I can't believe I've learned so much in such a small amount of time!!!
I feel like I am learning so much more following these videos than any other Japanese learning videos on youtube. While others teach basic words and phrases Trombley-San teaches the rules and grammar behind them and in a way that makes sense and makes it very easy to apply in real life. Thank you so much for doing this!
I think the most difficult way of teaching is through videos and especially when it’s Japanese language. George you are the best teacher I have seen on internet to do so, so easily. Thank you so much for these videos
So I stopped this video about 8mins in as I was starting to get overwhelmed. It's my first time learning a different language, I could not tell you what a verb even is in English and it's my only language! I was never good at studying (barley got a C in English). So the fact I have to understand what a verb is in Japanese and also try and figure out what makes a verb a verb in English I started to feel emotional (and a bit stupid). Luckily I took a break and clicked play. Your words and your life stories made me more confident. I don't have a set time frame to learn Japanese, I've only been studying for a couple months. This is just another hurdle and in no time I KNOW I will be speaking verbs in Japanese like a champ! Thank you George!
I have learnt Spanish Portuguese and French. Verbs are everything when learning a language. I generally start here. I just started Japanese 1 week ago I'd like to be fluent in 2years. Maybe it's possible. Your channel is excellent and will help a lot! Thank you so much!
@@Rosyblvsh such a good question to ask, we all ask these questions to people who commented earlier saying "they are learning a language" and we never get to hear if they made it :(
Okay George, I’ve watched your book one videos at least 5 times now. You finally got me this time and I caved and bought all of your Japanese series books (I made sure they were not counterfeit lol). Very excited to go through the books and then REVIEW your videos :-)
@@japanesefromzeroNo exaggeration, George! I always sink down in my chair when you say “this is just a review”. I thought the website would be enough, but I always felt like I was missing out on something without the books! Especially since I now use your videos for teaching my kids too, it was time. They’ve already arrived (one day!).
@@japanesefromzero Just to be clear, it wasn’t the cost as I have donated a few times the cost of all the books. I was purely lazy and enjoying the instantly gratifying content. After getting the books in hand, they are under-priced if anything! Thank you sir 🙏🏻
I feel the same way as you with the verbs and how it sets up everything. I love your vídeos George and your books and lessons make so much sense and are well organized. You were right with how learning a language is on patterns and your lessons and books make it so you understand Japanese right away, which other textbooks have their own way of explaining it that aint as effective as your books. I thank you for that and the Japanese patterns are in my head. If it wasnt for you, where would I be with Japanese? You the best George.
If u still don't know hiragana, there's a good site called Tofugu which teaches Hiragana and Katakana and it's really easy. I managed to learn both alphabets and it only took me around 2 hours for each one.
Hi George, I started listening/watching your videos since the first one, as support for my weekly classes, I see you everyday, and want to thank you for your work, I feel that your comments and your teaching techniques, are very good, they make me feel that japanese laguange is accessible to learn, I enjoy overall your somehow informal style, makes me feel easy, and many times I found myself laughting at your comments; I even bought your first 2 books..............thanks again for sharing. Keep up the good work............. Doris :)
This is kind of a simple concept after knowing how to conjugate verbs in portuguese and in french xD, many many irregular verbs also you have to just remember the conjugation for all the subjects, ''eu, tu, ele, nós, vós, eles'' same for french, its way harder imo
Now it's making sense on what I see on two different sites that I've been learning verbs on - one teaching the ます form first and the other the る/く form first, and the confusion it was causing me. What a relief. And the little bit about irregular ones helps too.
I know the plain form for those verbs anyway. They are simple but at least Japanese has a couple of things to make speaking much simple than it actually is. Having few irregular verbs helps a ton since you can just worry about regular verbs.
Birthday month! Last of the roarin' 40's! Hmm, time to get crazy and learn Swahili! Thank you so much for all these videos. Just started learning Japanese and I'm having a good time. How long did you have braces?
12:17 George disappointed because George didn't add examples. 😂 Thanks so much for these awesome videos. They're so good that I wanted to pay something, so I bought a subscription to your website. I think that you could improve the usability of the website, but anyway I'm enjoying your lessons so much.
Heh. Was kinda confused because I thought there was conflicting information here vs elsewhere. You said "い" form! but I heard "E" form. So I was thinking "え"! Got it now!
The moment I saw わかります, I immediately was like, "OH! That is what my Japanese villagers in AoE2 are telling me!! I just want them to know 私もわかります！" Lol!
"kaeru" only written in Hiragana means "frog" btw. I know this because wehen i started to learn japanese i listened to childrens songs and there i heard "kaeru no uta ga" keep on this good stuff good luck and thank you so much
The website is using Flash. Just a reminder The funny thing is that I decided to learn Kanji because I already know Hiragana and Katakana. But damn. Those Kanji! They're beautiful. And frightening.
Is たべる (to eat) and irregular verb? Based on the う to い form conjugation rule you taught in this lesson, たべる should become たべります, but it actually becomes たべます, right?
I don't think he's covered this type of verb yet. I don't want to get ahead here as he will cover it soon. but, just so you know and to avoid your confusion or thinking it's irregular (which it isn't). たべる is what is usually referred to as an いる/える verb. And I'll leave it at that until he covers it.
Shadow... not so fast... RU verb? Let me show you 5 verbs all ending in RU but all being DIFFERENT types. SURU (irregular verb type) TABERU (iru / eru verb type) WAKARU (regular verb type) HASHIRU (iru / eru exception verb type) OSSHARU (aru verb type) RU verb isn't a thing and books that teach it this way only punch the student in the gut. The only thing you can say about RU verbs that is accurate is that IF a verb isn't going to be REGULAR than it will in ALL cases have RU, HOWEVER.... there are MANY regular verbs that end with RU. Classifying any verb as a RU verb is like saying well "dogs and fish are living things". YEAH they are living things but they aren't related and eat, breathe, live, in a completely different way. Instead you have to group animals into mammals and amphibian or reptile etc. Make sense?
He used to live stream on Facebook but he does it on RUclips now. He doesnt have a time set for when he streams on RUclips. Just be on the lookout when he does streams.
+JFZ Do you hava a plan to show japanese auxiliary verbs?I'm afread if you don't separete auxiliary form verb,conjgation of japanese verbs will be much complex.
いきます (Present/Future Tense) - I (will) go いきません (Present Negative) - I don't go / I will not go いきました (Past Tense) - I went いきませんでした (Past Negative) - I did not go The same can be applied to きる
He covers Kanji in Book 3. Book 2 covers Katakana. When he covers all the lessons in Book 1, he will do vídeo lessons for Book 2. He is doing the vídeo lessons for each book in order because the first time he did that were out of order.
Hi, I was just wondering about 'kimashita' and 'kimasen deshita' and when these are used as when translated to english they don't make sense - 'I did come' and 'I didn't come'. So therefore when would these be used? As surely if someone asked me if I went to a party then I would say 'ikimashita' or 'ikimasen deshita'. I know that obviously there is a reason these words exist in Japanese even though they do not make sense in English, but I just can't wrap my head around it. Sorry if this is a silly question, i promise I have watched all the videos, I'm just still confused! Thankyou :)
eg. Someone who's party was on the weekend asks 'pa-ti-wa ni kimashita ka' (Did you come to the party?), would I say 'hai, ikimashita' (Yes, I went) or 'hai, kimashita' - does this depend on what verb they used when they asked you?
What about other people? Did Jeff come? No he didn’t come. Yes he came. It might be weird first and second person perspective but not third person. Also “did come” can just be “came”.
I was wondering how to use 2 verbs in a sentence? for example : " I like eating ice cream" , I can't figure out how to say it. there are 2 verbs: to like and to eat
SubFacts I can answer for you. すき(like), isn't a verb. It's an adjective. The sentence, "I like to eat ice cream," would be, 私はアイスクリムを食べるのが好きです。Watashi ha aisukurimu wo taberu no ga suki desu
i can answer that lolitacon's first part of the sentence is 私はアイスクリームを食べる I'm sure you understand the watashi and the aisukuri-mu part, the を particle marks that as the direct object for the verb, which is 食べる (to eat). This is a verb clause, and to use the が on the verb clause, you would need to add a generic event. attaching の or 事「こと」would add this so that you can use that verb clause as the subject to the sentence. 好き is just describing the subject, being that the event is likable to you. Hope I answered your question EDIT: if you want it to be 'i like eating icecream' it would be more along the lines of 私はアイスクリームを食べているのが好きです。where taberu is conjugated into progressive
I tried to conjugate "taberu"... then I screwed up....infinitive version is not "taberi"... and I do not understand why I failed..(infinitive is only "tabe")....???????
I think the mistake you did with the slides for くる can be very confusing for people who are seeing these verbs for the first time. I think it's better to change the slide and then edit the video instead of the vague "workaround" you gave. The instruction may make sense to you because you made the slides and know Japanese but for a beginner this could be irritating because what the are seeing in front of them is not exactly what you are talking about. Editing the video slightly should definitely be worth the effort compared to the confusion it may cause.
Bro... A verb is an action, I eat, she dances, they drove etc. That's kinda just basic English knowledge you need to know before you start a new language
I was doing so great now I guess it's just me but I'm falling behind. I think you think you should be moving faster than you are. I'm probably not the smartest one in the group but I'm very smart and Im falling behind grrr

わかります = understand
@@egg7689 は is pronounced as わ when it's being used as a particle like watashi wa. The wa would be は.
But when your spelling わかります I believe that's proper. Wa is only written as ha when your using it as a particle.

What does いきませんでした Means??
Also
きました And きませんでした ???
いきます (Present/Future Tense) - I (will) go
いきません (Present Negative) - I don't go / I will not go
いきました (Past Tense) - I went
いきませんでした (Past Negative) - I did not go
The same can be applied to きる
いきませんでした Did not go
きました came
きませんでした Did not come

I was wondering how to use 2 verbs in a sentence? for example : " I like eating ice cream" , I can't figure out how to say it. there are 2 verbs: to like and to eat
SubFacts I can answer for you. すき(like), isn't a verb. It's an adjective. The sentence, "I like to eat ice cream," would be, 私はアイスクリムを食べるのが好きです。Watashi ha aisukurimu wo taberu no ga suki desu
Lolitacon thank you so much! 😄
SubFacts No problem, I'll be here if you have more questions :') I'm not fluent, but I have a good understanding so far
Lolitacon why there is a particle の?
i can answer that
lolitacon's first part of the sentence is 私はアイスクリームを食べる
I'm sure you understand the watashi and the aisukuri-mu part, the を particle marks that as the direct object for the verb, which is 食べる (to eat).
This is a verb clause, and to use the が on the verb clause, you would need to add a generic event. attaching の or 事「こと」would add this so that you can use that verb clause as the subject to the sentence.
好き is just describing the subject, being that the event is likable to you. Hope I answered your question
EDIT: if you want it to be 'i like eating icecream' it would be more along the lines of 私はアイスクリームを食べているのが好きです。where taberu is conjugated into progressive
I've been waiting...
For a girl like you..to come into my life!
YOU WERE OUT OF MY LEAGUE....
Wait, if every verb in Japanese ends in う from, does it mean, that です is verb and translates as "be" ?
です is indeed the “to be” verb. It doesn’t act like a normal verb but it fills that role.
I tried to conjugate "taberu"... then I screwed up....infinitive version is not "taberi"... and I do not understand why I failed..(infinitive is only "tabe")....???????
Wow wow mind blown
I think the mistake you did with the slides for くる can be very confusing for people who are seeing these verbs for the first time. I think it's better to change the slide and then edit the video instead of the vague "workaround" you gave. The instruction may make sense to you because you made the slides and know Japanese but for a beginner this could be irritating because what the are seeing in front of them is not exactly what you are talking about. Editing the video slightly should definitely be worth the effort compared to the confusion it may cause.
George, can ない also be the informal form of せん like 僕はコーヒーを飲みません (Formal)
僕はコーヒーを飲むじゃない or コーヒーを飲むない (Informal)
Aki Bowman If you don't know already, the informal ない form follows the あForm of the verb, so 私はコーヒーを飲まない。
There are words with the same hiragana but deffernt meaning the only way to get what that words mean is the kanji.
What does the Terminator say in Japanese? Is it かえります ?
András Hock Makes sense! Thanks! 😊

This is great and all but… what’s a verb???
High school sophomore here everybody…
You disgust me
Bro... A verb is an action, I eat, she dances, they drove etc. That's kinda just basic English knowledge you need to know before you start a new language
I have the exact same T-shirt
Just curious, do you own the Course 1 textbook, or are you learning off of the videos alone?
Power!
Great content bro. You resemble MoeTV the csgo gambler w
Did you purposely use the katakana "ri" as opposed to hiragana?
I was doing so great now I guess it's just me but I'm falling behind. I think you think you should be moving faster than you are. I'm probably not the smartest one in the group but I'm very smart and Im falling behind grrr
theわない and なえい are wrong big typo when instead ofい at the end it's supposed to beり
Golvellius It says り, not い. I think the font confused you
11:10 well it has two meanings hahaha
