A nearly perfect teacher: clear, intelligent, exquisite grasp of both English and Japanese grammar with impeccable organization, clarity, and teaching instincts.
you know why? it's because she's native japanese and she speaks near perfect english which is why it's so easy to learn from her ..plus she's interesting in the way she teaches her lessons...pretty damm sure she has studied in england before..she has that english accent.
I've been learning Japanese for a while but recently started watching her videos. I take notes on every single one and I've progressed so quickly! People tried to criticize her teaching tactics on Reddit and it made me mad. She's such a great teacher, nothing wrong with her lessons.
I love how she always says "this is used for customers so you probably won't use it unless you work in Japan" I work in Hawaii I literally always need to talk to talk to Japanese customers. All the customers speak English just fine but get nervous so I find that if I speak Japanese (as bad as I do) it makes the customers more comfortable speaking English to me.
Something I learned from another teacher that is very easy to remember these endings and how to make them te/past informal form is くーいて/いた ぐーいで/いだ うつるーって/った ぬむぶーんで/んだ すーして/した First side is what the verb ends in, after the hyphen is what you put to make it te or past form. You can learn it like a song くいて、ぐいで、うつるって、ぬむぶんで、すして Also be careful cause this doesn't work for the irregular verbs, obviously.
Guys use this technique that I've learned from George-sensei of Japanese From Zero! It's really effective (Silver Bells) City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air there's a feeling Of Christmas "u tsu ru - tte bu mu nu - nde ku - ite gu - ide su shi - te are the te and ta forms" (because it's the same pattern for the Ta form of verbs)
+Japanese Ammo with Misa Misa sensei I have a request. start a play list wich you take a daily scenario and teach us what you normally say as an example when you are having a meal what you say before it and after it and adding conversations be between two or more people will be highly appreciated. plus I love you and your vids your the best japanese teacher I managed to find.
Sorry for being confused here, so basically... 1) (-eru/iru) verbs replaces (-ru) with (-te)... with a few expections like kaeru, iku and kiru 2) (-u), (-tsu) and (-ru) for aru/uru/oru uses -tte? Is that right?
Also, I think 知る is another exception verb and it conjugates like 知って instead of 知て like it should have according to the -iru/-eru conjugation rule, right? I wonder if it's like that so we won't confuse it with the irregular する verb for which we use して.
Seiya! Tatte!! :p I had the most embarrassing thing happen to me the first time I went to Japan in 2001. I was walking to an elevator and an older gentleman was in it so I kinda blurted out "matte!" without thinking. People with me were horrified. Kuso gaijin moment.
U are my favourite Japanese Teacher ;p Your lessons are well-guided, everything is explained step by step, u use many examples and u purely pronounce them. Are u live in USA or Japan right now? (because ur english is so good also) ;) and what about kuru - to come, which is also kite in te-from....
3:50 Sensei i have a question. What is the meaning differences between for the two sentences; * mainichi koohii o kaimasu. Vs * mainichi koohii o katte imasu. Why and when should i use “present perfect continious” tense. Kotae o hitsiyou suru, sumimasen. 18:41 similar example i have seen right now. I confused. Normally we say it with “present tense” If we do something “every day” , than we use present tense. **( Have’nt we have been using “simple present” form for your exaple that you give at 18:41 ) :DD
I also wonder, if へ is a particle that puts emphasis on the direction instead of a place like the に particle does, then why do we say 左に、右に？ Aren't left and right the directions? Can't we say 左へ、右へ instead and will there be a difference? Thank you very much みさ先生 for your lessons! 本当にありがとうございました。
Misa! Thank you for your videos! On your Italki page, it says you are not accepting students at the moment, do you know when you may be accepting students again? I just moved to Japan and want to schedule lessons a few times a week to help improve my Japanese :) thank youuuu
At about 17:00 about pitch accents (what my other sensei called them) being important in Chinese, I can confirm for you that in Mandarin (I don't know about Cantonese) pitch accents are VERY important. I guess in short each individual pinying (Romanji for Chinese) can have up to four pitch accents (flat note, rising note, strict lowering note, and a lower than raising note) and each of those represents a word. There might a 5th accent but I don't remember its usage. An example I could use is "ma" (Pronounced likeま ) depending on how you say the word it could mean: Mom, Horse, ? in English or か in Japanese and I don't know what they'd mean in other pitches. English doesn't get a full pass from pitch accents by the way. An example would be the word "Suspect."
Great video! I've been looking for usages of iku verb for present continuous and I found it here. But one question: is it a big difference between "Doko ni iku n desu ka" and "Doko ni mukatte iru"?
Also, what is the difference between 毎日レストランに行っている and 毎日レストランに行く? Why do we need to use the ている form for everyday/regular actions? Isn't that just Present Simple?
Going to start taking the notes for this over the next few days :) and oh god i finally now know why there are and how to use sokuon, it's confused me for ages... i'm just wondering for example i want to type chyotto matte on the phone, do i simply type out the ''T'' twice in 'Chyotto' to make a small っ? And for other kana's i can simply type 'L' beforehand to turn them into sokuon right? Thank you for the lessons again Misa, super helpful as always! You still haven't gotten a haircut yet ww, thought im quite fond of this style!
Yay! And yes, ちょっと is typed as "chotto" twice T :) If you want solely small tsu like "っ" or when you want to put it at the end like "うそっ！(no way! / you must be kidding / lying!) then , you can get it by typing "xtu". (so for "うそっ" you type : usoxtu) Not just ちょっと or まって (matte) you can type two letters (consonant) and get the small tsu. ちっちゃい - chicchai (tiny) そっか sokka (I see) いっぱい ippai (a lot)
Right? It takes me weeks and weeks to finally absorb. It a lot of dedication. Hard work. Otherwise. Alt of people would speak more than one language fluently. It’s a lifelong thing
Would the example for 'ive been buying xxxxx' be a past tense of the te form? You arent currently buying it, but you have been buying it in the past. Right? I dont even know :P
Do 行って and 言って sound exactly the same? Whether someone is saying “please go” or “please say” is something I can only work out from the context? Or is there a subtle difference in tone between the two?
SchutzstaffelOG sorry I’m so late but it’s because you’re not physically “grabbing” a picture. When you take a picture, you just use the word “toru”, but you don’t literally “grab” something. So there’s a difference between grabbing (physically) and “taking” a picture. e.g. there will be different kanji for taking a book (where you know taking is actually grabbing in hands) and a different one for taking a photo (where you know taking is not grabbing) I hope it helps🙌
I have a question: I know magaru is to turn, so can that verb be used in a dance setting? Such as a (dance) right/left turn? Or is there another word in Japanese that means to turn (in a dance).
1) tsu changes into chi, so for example, machimase 2) Many words in Japanese mean the same thing when not written in kanji. "Shiki" means ritual, formula and death. "Shi" means four and death. "Kami" means paper, hair and god. "Ki" means tree, spirit, chronicles, time period and more. To differentiate, you use context (in verbal speech or when the words are only written in kana) and the kanji it's used in (all those meanings are written with a different kanji, they just consist of the same syllable). Japanese works very differently from English, there are a looot of words that consist of the same syllables, best to get used to the idea from the start.
Question: From your intro "こんにちわJapaneseAmmoのみさです" You translated it as "hello it's Misa from Japanese ammo. But from what you taught about の particles, doesn't it also translate as "Hello! it is Japanese-Ammo's Misa! I've been wanting to ask this for a while. I really appreciate these videos, thank you.
Don't they have the same meaning? I think she used "hello it's Misa from Japanese ammo." because it sounds better in english than "Hello! it is Japanese-Ammo's Misa!" (don't even know if this is grammatically correct)

My thoughts, exactly.
I've been learning Japanese for a while but recently started watching her videos. I take notes on every single one and I've progressed so quickly! People tried to criticize her teaching tactics on Reddit and it made me mad. She's such a great teacher, nothing wrong with her lessons.
て form is way more important and in depth than I originally suspected! I'm excited to eventually master it. Great work again! Keep it up!
I love how she always says "this is used for customers so you probably won't use it unless you work in Japan" I work in Hawaii I literally always need to talk to talk to Japanese customers. All the customers speak English just fine but get nervous so I find that if I speak Japanese (as bad as I do) it makes the customers more comfortable speaking English to me.
Something I learned from another teacher that is very easy to remember these endings and how to make them te/past informal form is
くーいて/いた
ぐーいで/いだ
うつるーって/った
ぬむぶーんで/んだ
すーして/した
First side is what the verb ends in, after the hyphen is what you put to make it te or past form.
You can learn it like a song くいて、ぐいで、うつるって、ぬむぶんで、すして
Also be careful cause this doesn't work for the irregular verbs, obviously.
This might be a bit late but I highly recommend the hatsune miku te form song, it's very catchy and makes it really easy to remember these uwu
@@eggboy6926 thank you very much for that👍
Its really good
Thank you for this!

Love this comment! I will write this down in my notebook right away!
There is a blue glass on the table that keeps appearing and then vanishing between cuts, it shows how much effort she puts into her videos.

I love that in many cases she uses vocabulary also present in the text-book genki, from which I study. All success to you, misa-san!
This is off topic but your outfit is super pretty!

Wow, youre the only person whose told me intonation isn't the biggest thing in the world, thank you!

+Japanese Ammo with Misa
Misa sensei I have a request.
start a play list wich you take a daily scenario and teach us what you normally say
as an example when you are having a meal what you say before it and after it and adding conversations be between two or more people will be highly appreciated.
plus I love you and your vids your the best japanese teacher I managed to find.
Thank you very much for these videos about TE form, they are so good, you explain it so well!
this lesson is also super helpfulみさ先生本当にありがとうございます。
Diving into lesson 14, writing everything down. Wish me luck!!
excellent explanation of te form, thank you
First of all, すごいレッスン as always みさ先生。Kinda amazed that Japanese use "little" when asking favors, as we do here in Greece :)
I'm finally getting the use of the te form! Mise sensei o Domo arigatou gozaimashita
12:06 why isn't it "sono hon"? wouldn't that make more sense because the book is close to the person you're talking to, but far from you?
Awesome video. I'm taking notes! Arigatoo gozaimasu!
Love this lesson
Thank you so much Misa! ありがとうございました!!
Very clear explanations. This, I believe, is JLPT N5 level material. Have you made similar videos for JLPT N4 and N3 levels?
Thank you so much I was waiting for this video
Sorry for being confused here, so basically...
1) (-eru/iru) verbs replaces (-ru) with (-te)... with a few expections like kaeru, iku and kiru
2) (-u), (-tsu) and (-ru) for aru/uru/oru uses -tte?
Is that right?
Yes.
@@jprspereira I am pretty sure I know you from WaniKani :D
The twentieth time it is a breeze. :-) Thanks Sensei. Also these videos reinforce the Kana series and teach Kanji.
I have watched this video so many times I've started noticing sudden changes in the background. 😂😂 I like your blue cup Misa!
I love your videos! They are so helpful! Thank you!
your welcome
Thanks so much for this video !!! And thank you for numbering them! I have some catching up to do :D
I hope by now your Japanese level is intermediate by watching her videos.
Also, I think 知る is another exception verb and it conjugates like 知って instead of 知て like it should have according to the -iru/-eru conjugation rule, right? I wonder if it's like that so we won't confuse it with the irregular する verb for which we use して.
thank u very much.this video is very useful for me.can u send me any other video,if u have.

Vlw misa, tá ajudando pakas ^^ Thanks, Missa you have been very helpfull.

I have heard using e particle instead of ni particle more often. Like saying Tsuki no kado migi e magatte kudasai.
Seiya! Tatte!! :p
I had the most embarrassing thing happen to me the first time I went to Japan in 2001. I was walking to an elevator and an older gentleman was in it so I kinda blurted out "matte!" without thinking. People with me were horrified. Kuso gaijin moment.
ahaha soo funny!

How do you even notice that? Haha

Haha, I'm buying.. RIGHT NOW!
please do some "advanced" lessons about slang or informal language :). Thank you!
U are my favourite Japanese Teacher ;p
Your lessons are well-guided, everything is explained step by step, u use many examples and u purely pronounce them.
Are u live in USA or Japan right now? (because ur english is so good also) ;)
and what about kuru - to come, which is also kite in te-from....
Are you live in? xd Do you live in*
I believe she lived in the UK for a while.
Nice channel . Plz suggest good basic anime to learn japanese conversation
both itte means to go and to speak, how do i know someone is asking me to say or to go away?
Thank you so much!!!!!!! ^^♡
Did you skip the formal way of "tsu"-verbs like matsu?
9:02 ああ、神様になったよ。
3:50 Sensei i have a question.
What is the meaning differences between for the two sentences;
* mainichi koohii o kaimasu.
Vs
* mainichi koohii o katte imasu.
Why and when should i use “present perfect continious” tense.
Kotae o hitsiyou suru, sumimasen.
18:41 similar example i have seen right now.
I confused. Normally we say it with “present tense”
If we do something “every day” , than we use present tense.
**( Have’nt we have been using “simple present” form for your exaple that you give at 18:41 ) :DD

how to say then to speak or speaking ?

To everyone learning Japanese Ammo with Misa: How many videos can you study (with absorption) in a day?
Right? It takes me weeks and weeks to finally absorb. It a lot of dedication. Hard work. Otherwise. Alt of people would speak more than one language fluently. It’s a lifelong thing
When you use 向かっている, can you use the particle へ instead of に?

19:23 Ho... Mukatte kuru no ka
notte in italian language means night.The pronunciation is the same.
kaeru in te form -> kaette which is pronounced the same as "Shut up!" in spanish. it was kinda funny.
Really? That's interesting.
Real using for quick starter... Superb!! My teacher is Hontoni Kawaii.😁
買った and 買っていた. what is the difference?
shalom
Hi ammo-san, I thought mou=already, but in the video mou=more (in please say it one more time)?
Can anybody tell me why the kanji for take when she says "take a picture" is different than when it's normally used?
SchutzstaffelOG sorry I’m so late but it’s because you’re not physically “grabbing” a picture. When you take a picture, you just use the word “toru”, but you don’t literally “grab” something. So there’s a difference between grabbing (physically) and “taking” a picture.
e.g. there will be different kanji for taking a book (where you know taking is actually grabbing in hands)
and a different one for taking a photo (where you know taking is not grabbing)
I hope it helps🙌
I figured it was something like that. Certainly not a problem you would have writing in English だから日本語は面白いです。今俺はわかります、ありがとございます。

みさ せんせい Normally we ask for Salt & Pepper. So, the sentence should run しお と こしょう を とつて ください。
Kyo MIsa sensei ga karei desu.(more beautiful with natural look) XD
Instead of mukatteiru you can also say 仕事に行ってきます
Everyday I watch the next lesson watch, write, and speak it all out thouroughly. But something makes me suspect I should take more time...

1: How to say the past form and masu form for 'tsu' ending verbs?!
2: You said before that kami is paper but now you say kami is hair..?!
@1:
For eg. Matsu
So the past form is like matsu deshita.?!
1) tsu changes into chi, so for example, machimase
2) Many words in Japanese mean the same thing when not written in kanji. "Shiki" means ritual, formula and death. "Shi" means four and death. "Kami" means paper, hair and god. "Ki" means tree, spirit, chronicles, time period and more. To differentiate, you use context (in verbal speech or when the words are only written in kana) and the kanji it's used in (all those meanings are written with a different kanji, they just consist of the same syllable).

Question:
From your intro
"こんにちわJapaneseAmmoのみさです"
You translated it as "hello it's Misa from Japanese ammo.

"Hello! it is Japanese-Ammo's Misa!
