I know this video has been out for many years now, but I really have to commend you for your questions you ask us during the lessons. It really solidifies the information I just learned and helps me review previous material you taught. You're an excellent teacher.
Hellotalk is seriously the best thing EVER. I use it to practice German, Italian and Japanese. It's awesome. I have yet to meet ONE troll. There's one American guy who is just a complete weirdo... and he comments on my Japanese and it drives me nuts... but all the Japanese people I've met are just amazing. Lovely people, all!
And this makes 2, just 3 books more to go, I'm so glad there is someone like you sensei, you've made so many videos and I'll be happy to continue this journey until the end.
So stoked today. Ive completed Course 1 and Course 2. Its not alot, but super proud i learned all Hiragana and Katakana and everything else youve taught. Next week i will begin course 3 and i also bought Kanji from zero. Question. How many lessons of Kanji from zero should i learn per week as a beginner? I dont want to rush, but i am very excited to learn. 😅
Something clicked for me at 4:44 when you specifically said, "...has the condition not changed." Turns out the same thought process works for もう as well! I will forever think of もう and まだ in terms of "changed" and "unchanged" conditions.
***** I think you're going to really like "Kanji From Zero." Though, I'd really encourage you to at least do the written exercises in "Japanese from Zero." They help so much. And I'd certainly read the "reading" out loud.
Master George I thought I'd let you know that I'm back at the place where I first met you on the internet no I didn't meet you but I saw you on the internet and started taking your classes pretty cool right my mom and dad pretty much died in this house and I've been learning Japanese Chinese and Korean too thank you for your Japanese lesson
Hey George, I think I saw an error on the last slide, last sentence: ３じごろにじゅうにんぐらいきます。そして4じには5じんぐらいきます。 Shoudn't it be in the end 5にん because we're talking about 5 people? I'm sorry if I'm incorrect.
I remember Googling and searching for an explanation for the difference of ごろ andぐらい but I was disappointed with the explanations. Your video made it sooo clear! Thank you so much!!! 😁😁😁 By the way, can't believe this is the last video for book 2, time sure flies when you're having fun. 😄
Yeah. I have his book 3 but I was waitinf for him to finish book 2 videos so I'm not sure if I should wait and follow the book until I'm done and then see the videos or the videos and then the book lesson. And he uploads quickly so I wouldn't be able to keep up.
I want to go over the lessons in both books from his videos. The counter, docchi word groups, jap adv past tense and the suru, what kind of, casual videos but I'm very comfortable with grammar. I just want to learn new vocabulary so I can make more sentences to write and speak.
Question, if you ask a Japanese person to come over 'about 3 o'clock', will they be at your door at 5 minutes before 3, or does goru allow them to not be so punctual?
It's a personal matter. Goro only makes the time inexact; it's not supposed to give the person an excuse to be not punctual, although it also makes the sentence a little softer than a command
"Man gets arrested for disturbing public order by constantly screaming random sentences in Oriental language while watching a video in a public library."
Haha that typo at the very end messed me up a little bit George. But you said it right. I should have watched till the very end instead of pausing and scratching my head before you finished.
@@venomm4563 They're not interchangeable. MOU can be used in many for situations where ATO cannot. Example from Yes Japan website - "ATO is used when are saying "there is only this amount remaining" whereas MOU is often used to say "up to this amount has been used" as in ATO JUPPUN DESU (10 more minutes) if you said MOU JUPPUN DESU it would not mean "10 more minutes" but instead would say that it is "already 10 minutes"."
Korean Chinese Japanese or languages that I've been learning Japanese is one of the cool ones Korean it was one of the first ones I picked up and Chinese I just picked up a few months ago funny talk
What is まだ plus past tense negative? まだ帰りませんでした。a Japanese person on hellotalk told me this is correct for 'have not yet returned'. But from this lesson I would assume I should leave the 'でした' out.
Hello Mr. George, thanks for the good vids ! Could you please do a video where you talk about 謙譲語 ? and some vocabs we can learn concerning this style of talking ? Thanks !
Hey George, long time first time :) Keep up the great work and thanks for all your hard work! I have a question about beards in Japan. How are they generally seen? (In work and daily life.) I have one very similar to yours so I'd love to hear your opinion on the topic! **Hopeful JET applicant**
So I'm watching Space Runaway Ideon, with subs still, and one of the characters tells another that he is about her son's age, and I heard "ぐらい". I know what that means. ：）
The thing with "no koto" is about being more polite and indirect I think. Asking "Do you like me" is a very direct question, which can be considered, well maybe not rude, but not very polite as well. In order to be more polite and innocent one can say "Do you still like about me?", which isn't actually a direct question, it's packed in a box of abstraction, which makes it easier to convey
Humn... For me 日本語はまだ楽しいですか？Sounds more like "Is Japanese still fun *in your opinion*?/"Do you still have fun with (studying) Japanese?" While まだ日本語は楽しいですか？is more like asking if Japanese is still fun in a general manner...
こんにちは、シンガポールからきました。いま日本の本社に研修します。來月国へ帰ります。 how should i say to my Japanese clerk when they asking me like "how was your Japan trip" it is a nice experiences in Japanese is ? (currently taking N5 class) 教えてください。^_^
Power up your Japanese on FromZero.com (lessons, quizzes, games, ask-a-teacher)
Typos and George, name a more iconic duo.

@@icebear8909 nice 😂
You are right: saying the sentences out loud helps learing. I follow you like a shadow :)

Yes I have watched all the videos infact some videos 6-7 times I am watching these in 2019. You are a great teacher Love from Pakistan
Thanks
Thank you so much for mentioning that まだ can be 'still' in negative and positive!! I never noticed it before, but it really simplifies things for me!
Kudos from the Philippines!
plot twist: the one disliker is actually George's wife

Whatever works for your learning style is the pace you should take. Great job finishing Course 1 and 2.

why did I not find George sensei in 2016 :D my quest to learning Japanese would have a lot more fun :D
I smiled a little bit when I answered with "たぶん はんじかん ぐらい です。" Thank you George-sensei.
Really great teacher
Book 2 was amazing.
Holy shit, George, damn you're a good teacher. Seriously, thank you. I got "Kanji From Zero" and it's an awesome book!!!

I JUST ordered Kanji From Zero from Amazon! Looking forward to learning form you George! :D
maan, finally some kanji
"Man gets arrested for disturbing public order by constantly screaming random sentences in Oriental language while watching a video in a public library."
This was a really good lesson.
Since Pidgeys are birds, wouldn't you use ～羽 instead of ～匹？
21:09 a mistake
Love your lessons. Hello Talk is a very good app, I'm using it too.
Haha that typo at the very end messed me up a little bit George. But you said it right. I should have watched till the very end instead of pausing and scratching my head before you finished.
what is the different between ''mou'' and ''ato'' if both of them mean ''more''?
It means more if combined with a counter
Isn't もう placed in front of number words like 'one more', and あと is used for numbered things like '200 yen more'? I'm also not sure.
@@diegocastillo5400 Basically mou and ato are changeable. You can say mou hitotsu kudasai and ato hitotsu kudasai. It will mean the same thing.
@@venomm4563 They're not interchangeable. MOU can be used in many for situations where ATO cannot. Example from Yes Japan website - "ATO is used when are saying "there is only this amount remaining" whereas MOU is often used to say "up to this amount has been used" as in ATO JUPPUN DESU (10 more minutes) if you said MOU JUPPUN DESU it would not mean "10 more minutes" but instead would say that it is "already 10 minutes"."
Mwahaha I can read hiragana and katakana but I can't write it because I only listen to your video lessons and you can't stop me!
13:06 about 100 pidgeys would have been 百わぐらい
Oh yeah because you use a different counter for birds
Great video, thankyou.
Korean Chinese Japanese or languages that I've been learning Japanese is one of the cool ones Korean it was one of the first ones I picked up and Chinese I just picked up a few months ago funny talk

Great! I just released video 114! Let me know when you get to 100 and we can have a small celebration in the comments again.
@@japanesefromzero Ok I will let you know :)
Thank you for all your lessons
Great lesson👍🏻Looking forward to the next one!
See you in book 3 😁
What is まだ plus past tense negative? まだ帰りませんでした。a Japanese person on hellotalk told me this is correct for 'have not yet returned'. But from this lesson I would assume I should leave the 'でした' out.
thank you for this video :)
BRAVO!!
i missed the yojini cause i wasn't paying attention and then i always forget the wa in the second sentence T.T darn it!
Hey George how is ato used? Mou can be used for the same purpose, then why is ato used? Thanks so much George
This lesson hurt my brain idk why
hmmmmmm
can share some more about teller talk ?
Book 3 in 2021!
Hello Mr. George,
thanks for the good vids !
Could you please do a video where you talk about 謙譲語 ? and some vocabs we can learn concerning this style of talking ?

Lesson 12-2 answer key seems to be wrong is there a correction section I can go to?Never mind. Its just mislabeled as 12-1 instead of 12-2.
That shirt always reminds me of The Big Lebowski.
what's the difference between あとand もう
もうふたつください
あとふたつください
あと threw me for a loop and I can't find it in the books. I've been using も.
both are different
thumbs up before i watch the video :)
Thumbs up for your thumbs up :)
Thumbs up for your thumbs up for his thumbs up about the video
this comment section is now in thumb up mode
I tried to thumbs up all your thumbs up, but I'm all thumbs when it comes to this...
In the あと 三時ぐらいです example could we use "もう" instead of "あと" ?
I was thinking this too, but I think mou has other separate meanings apart from 'more', and ato is more specific
僕は来年の８月ごろ日本に行くつもりです。日本のどこに行くかまだ分かんないけど。。。
Ha, I noticed the Tears for Fears reference!!!! \m/
トロムブリー先生、”ころ” と"くら"いもききました。なにがちがいですか。ありがとうございます。

Thanks. I want to know why the difference with ころand ごろ.
Is it some kind of dialect?
ありがとうございます。おもしろいですね。😄
にほん-2 さんぼん-3 😄
けっかはいつごろにしてますか？ does this work as well for "when will you know the results?"
just thought about this some more and it should be けっかが right?
けっかは いつごろ わかりますか。

What about もう??? you used あと here, so when do you use もう?
why people are confuse and mixing もう & あと?
@@さいとう-c6b What do you mean?
@@DavidPerez-ef8yp i mean both have different uses and he already show how to used もう in his past video
I thought yo would use もう for asking for more Ex. もう一つ下さい
You know how you name に the time marker and で the event time marker? Would you call ごろ an event time marker?
で is the event LOCATION particle, not time!
