I can't physically understand why this video only has a few thousand views. He deserves so much more recognition. Thank you so much bro! I'm sharing this.
He clearly does the thing he is trying to teach very well. Expert you might say. Experts are VERY often the worst kind of teacher. He also speaks very quickly. There, are you now able to "physically" able to understand.
I spent tens of thousands of dollars on formal Japanese education in college and they didn’t teach it this way and now I’m sad......haha! This makes so much more sense!!!
20 years ago when I started studying Japanese seriously, my instructor taught this method and called it “The Elevator”. Until then I was struggling with conjugations and this blew my mind at how simple it suddenly all became! I know this video is old but it only just popped up in my feed and though I use this method I had to watch! Good one!
ありがとうございます！ Verb conjugation has scared me away from learning Japanese. This video makes it so much easier to understand! 買う 買わない 買います、買いません、買いました、買いませんでした 買え 買えば 買える 買おう 飲む 飲まない 飲みます、飲みません、飲みました、飲みませんでした 飲め 飲めば 飲める 飲もう
Another thing that's made my life learning Japanese so much easier is learning Kanji radicals. People keep telling me it's useless to learn then, but I can at least memorize a new Kanji so much easier than before I learned the small amount of radicals I know that consists of the ones marked as important on Kanji alive.
Who ever is telling you it's useless definitely does not know what they are talking about. Even Japanese people learn kanji through radicals. It makes life SOOOO much easier.
Man i was confuse about godan and ichidan verb,and now i found a light,cuz sometime some word in japanese keep changing, lol u r channel deserve more sub ありがとう御座います先生
3 years late to this but on my Japanese learning journey. Through myself in the deep end with verbs yesterday and went to bed feeling demotivated. Found this video just now and I have to agree with the other comments, your ability to teach is incredible! Thank you for this video.
This has to be the most perfect form of teaching I've ever seen! Perfect organization, perfect delivery, perfect images, perfect audio, perfect tone. Fun, easy to understand and you also gave us practice! I'm eternally thankful for this!!
Excellent video, which I learned a lot from and got me thinking. There were a couple more conjugations (just that I was immediately aware of) て form (飲んで) and past (飲んだ). Tokini Andy covers them both in separate videos (Genki 1 lesson 6 and Genki 1 lesson 9). There are many more verb conjugations, and if you want to make your head spin, you can search (japanese verb conjugator) in your favorite search engine.
I have watched so many tutorials without understanding or remembering anything about japanese conjugation, but this one and the ichidan verb conjugation made it crystal clear. I will definitely follow this channel, thank you so much!
Dude nice. I'm still trudging through my first 500 or so Kanji and I've been postponing learning Godan verbs because I thought it would be harder than you've made me realize. It's actually super easy and I'm going to start practicing full conjugations of every verb I learn! You've just made my Japanese learning journey significantly simpler and more fun!
My gooosh, you helped me so much.. this is the reason why I stopped learning Japanese because no one explain it to me why the verb in Japanese is changing on different type of sentences.. now I truly understand
One of the things I like best about your approach to verb conjugation is you group the conjugations by verbs and not the other way around, which is how most other resources teach conjugation. For example, other learning resources might exclusively focus on the volitional form and give a bunch of u/ru verbs to illustrate. I find the challenge with that approach is the conjugations are essentially now compartmentalized in my brain, which is not an efficient means of recall. When trying to figure out the proper tense, I first recall the dictionary form and THEN try to conjugate it, but if I learn the conjugations in isolation, recall (for me anyway) is less efficient. In this approach, all conjugations are related to the dictionary form of the verb, making recall a bit more efficient.
wow...I really needed this video! wonderfully done, thank you! the simplicity and excellence of this lesson has given me the confidence and knowledge I need to further my studies and really be able to grab Japanese learning by the horns!!! have a good one! :)
The feeling I got when I realised that I knew half of the conjugations from just listening a lot to Japanese... It's so nice to be affirmed on what I knew, and to have it explained this well is amazing
Recently found your channel through twitter and this is amazing, non of my Japanese teachers mentioned this! I think somebody who had to learn a language is often better at explaining grammar, thank you for this great content. I think I will just watch all lessons to brush up on my basics which is definitely necessary
Having someone who learned the language point out things they struggled with can be very helpful! Sometimes it is difficult for natives of a language to recognize what is difficult for learners. =) I hope you find the videos helpful!
Thank you. I paired this with a hiragana chart that only shows ru mu bu nu tsu su gu ku and u, along with the appropriate forms going up and down on the chart such as sa shi su se so for the s column. It made following along with this video a lot easier.
Thank you!!! This has made everything so much clearer, I'm now getting back into learning Japanese again after an extended break because life got in the way, but now I've also got a native tutor who is helping me once a week too so i'm even more ready to get back into it. Also JET applications open next month and I've almost got everything I need for my application, most organised I've been in my life ahahaha. Hopefully I'll catch up on the genki lessons and be able to join in the live streams soon!
Why doesn't the textbooks teach it this way, this video makes it so much easier to understand I swear some textbooks are deliberately confusing which is why is so important to have a good teacher and you sir are fantastic! ありがとうございます
This blows my mind!!! Conjugation has always been my weak point in Japanese (ironic because I’m Polish and we have a way more complicated conjugation here lol but to be fair I had trouble learning this at school too). Like, they didn’t even teach this at my Japanese learning school and I’d say that school was very good at teaching Japanese otherwise. Now this makes so much more sense to me!
I greatly appreciate your video, you've singlehandedly made me understand how japanese works tremendously! The way other people explain was way more complicated, and you've made it in a more digestible format. Ive been studying strickly the alphabet and studying kanji, but ive never really tried to learn the conjugation because kt seemed so complicated. Thank you once again, please continue making videos!
Wow! This is what I call an eye opener! Giving the scary verb conjugation a system like makes it so much easier for me. I love the way you teach us Japanese.
thanks homie this rules. out of everything when learning this language I struggle with verb conjugation the most, and this has made it a lot easier lol
this video has helped me overcome my anxiety in learning japanese, i thought that there's SO much to learn that I'd never reach level anywhere near N3 which i need for my future trip, thank you so SO much
this is exactly what i needed. I've been having trouble remembering conjugation and the way they are teaching is so confusing. on my own i realized that the ba form is just the ru moved up to re and ba added. the way i am being taught uses the pre mas form and makes it an extra unnecessary step.
Was feeling so down about struggling with conjugation today and coming across your video changed everything and gave me hope! Thank you for your videos and explaining things so well!! :D
Omg, this is amazing!!! I have no idea about it. Why books that teaches English don’t explain it??? It’s so much easier to understand the conjugation. THANK TOU!!!!

This was so helpful, thank you. I've heard a bunch of explanations for the basic conjugations, but watching you move the verb up and down the chart finally made it click. Definitely sharing this around!
Hi Andy 先生 any tips for quickly remembering all of the ways to conjugate the verbs and speaking them with fluency? With just 50 verbs and 9 ways to conjugate them, that is 450 words.... ありがとございます for the informative lesson!
Using this method - Godan かつよう is the way forward. I wouldn't think of them as different words, just different tenses. If you learn the 9 rules for conjugating, all you really need to learn is 9 rules, and 50 verbs and then you KNOW 450 different variations. Learn which conjugation is as which point on the hiragana chart as shown in this video, and memorize that ending, and you'll be golden. =) The only way to use them "fluently" though, is to get lots of practice with them. Drills, like challenging yourself to write out all of the different conjugations of random verbs, help a lot.
@@ToKiniAndy Thanks for the advice, I've been studying for about a year and a half and still, my brain is wired in English. (Over 55 years of only speaking English....) I have heard that it is a little easier to pick up another language when we are youths....not sure how much truth there is to that... But I can see why many people quit learning Japanese, the grammar rules, exceptions and Kanji... (Just my opinion) People would like to be 'semi fluent' within a few years, and that is probably a stretch for most people.
Super informative. His encouragement to master this particular language skill is extremely persuasive. I know that soon I too will be conjugating the Godan verbs with ease. Thank you!
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
Yes. I'm aware that I said, "column" instead of "row" about 50 times.
in the Netherlands we have a proverb.
even the best horse will sometimes stumble
Is the ~Te form a kind of conjugation too?
yes it is!
Lol I didn’t even notice
Knowing a language and being able to teach it are two different things. You really are a very good teacher.
I do my best! Thank you for watching this one too. =)
@@ToKiniAndy yeah, learning japanese is one thing but teaching it is another, thank you for this video!

Oh my god.... this is the best video ever. Thank you so much 🙏
You are very welcome! ☺️
Amazing revelation! Have seen varied explanations on this but never this clear and worthwhile.

つまりは、このパートを学ばずして文法力の向上は無いという事です。
絶対に必要です。
そのために、まずは動詞の基本形と未然形(否定形)から学んでください。
そうすれば、五段活用以外の活用を学ぶ際にも大いに役立ちます。
否定形が理解できると、活用のパターンが分かります。

This video is amazing!
We learn this in junior high.
Even a native speaker who usually speaks Japanese is requires so much effort to master this.
In other words, there is no improvement in grammar without learning this part.
It is absolutely necessary.
To do this, I recommend you to learn negative forms of Japanese words.
If you do so, it will be very useful when you learn other patterns of conjugation.
If you can understand the negative form, you can understand the pattern of conjugation of the word.

I have encountered a great deal of difficulty in verb conjugation. Most textbooks designed for foreign learners force us to start by learning the polite masu form of verbs.

このレッスンをありがとう！
This was so helpful, thank you. I've heard a bunch of explanations for the basic conjugations, but watching you move the verb up and down the chart finally made it click. Definitely sharing this around!
thanks you so much for simplifying this!
Hi Andy 先生 any tips for quickly remembering all of the ways to conjugate the verbs and speaking them with fluency? With just 50 verbs and 9 ways to conjugate them, that is 450 words.... ありがとございます for the informative lesson!
Using this method - Godan かつよう is the way forward. I wouldn't think of them as different words, just different tenses. If you learn the 9 rules for conjugating, all you really need to learn is 9 rules, and 50 verbs and then you KNOW 450 different variations. Learn which conjugation is as which point on the hiragana chart as shown in this video, and memorize that ending, and you'll be golden. =)
The only way to use them "fluently" though, is to get lots of practice with them. Drills, like challenging yourself to write out all of the different conjugations of random verbs, help a lot.
@@ToKiniAndy Thanks for the advice, I've been studying for about a year and a half and still, my brain is wired in English. (Over 55 years of only speaking English....) I have heard that it is a little easier to pick up another language when we are youths....not sure how much truth there is to that... But I can see why many people quit learning Japanese, the grammar rules, exceptions and Kanji... (Just my opinion) People would like to be 'semi fluent' within a few years, and that is probably a stretch for most people.
Best teacher !!!
Thank you brother
this was such a moksha moment. thank you 100/10
Super informative. His encouragement to master this particular language skill is extremely persuasive. I know that soon I too will be conjugating the Godan verbs with ease. Thank you!
realization kicks in after 6 minutes* oh my god...
Thank you so now i can use verbs without worrying on how to use it
