The particle "ni" is used to indicate the place where a thing(s) or a person(s) is(or are) present and to mark one's goal or destination. "De" is used to indicate the place where an action occurs. In short, "ni" casts the sight upon a place, while "de" upon an action. In your example of replacing "de" with "ni", it wouldn't really make sense. But you were close!
+marijke313 same here :D i watch anime since 2013 and i've learned a lot :) so when i watch anime with no subs/dubs i understand a little,what are they saying :)
VERY good classes indeed, incredibly well prepared. I'm learning so fast, at least about the structure of the language, I think the method you use deserves to be imitated.
im learning and remembering more japanese in 3 days than i did german last year for 2 years in high school lol passion for learning is real lmao i suddenly have this ability to remember everything in a flash
Because you like it. It is the most important thing to love the language. After that, you are motivated, then you only need a good teacher and patience and keep learning.
I've been studying Japanese half of a year and because of covid19 i stopped and now it been almost 2 yeasr and I had forgot most of it and now I come and watch her video she's a great teacher and easy to understand just like how I have studied in school again
Wow! This is such an amazing tutorial! After watching the first 6 videos, I felt like "Wow! I can go to Japan now!" but then, I know I still have lots of things to learn. Domo arigato gozaimasu!
I'm taking an evening class at my university to learn Japanese, and these videos are perfect for revising the work we have been issued! Excellent teaching!
Compliment for Japan society..... In 6 lessons I learned 10 times more Japanese than in other videos.... And It makes sense.. besides, I am Lithuanian, so it is very easy to pronounce these words, and particles which are analog for changing endings in lithuanian words as well.... Now Japanese is not a trouble for me. ども ありがとう ございます。びでお で せんせい わ すごい ！！！！！！
These are actually great as a previous-self teaching student. I learnt the language's structure and composition inside and out (at least to a beginner's standard, up to topics like -teiru, -teiku, 'must/must not', conditionals, 'te mo ii', that sort of stuff) but I could never (and still can't) reliably converse in the language since I spent too much time on grammar. These videos are great since they teach beginners actual vocabulary to use, plus the MUCH EASIER -masu form of verbs as opposed to the regular dictionary form of verbs. One thing I would love to see as a non-beginner watching your videos is Kanji for the words/sentences too. I feel like it's easier to understand the meaning of words as you progress into the intermediate territory and start to know what certain Kanji mean, as well as easier to break apart a sentence into its separate parts. But I get that this comment will make no difference now since these videos were made 5 years ago lol
arigatou! I've been struggling in my japanese class to keep up - but after watching 3 of your videos i feel that I understand what I've been trying to learn much better now! thankyou!
I never thought to find a japanese course like this. You guys are amazing, I've learnt and I'm learning more everyday of this language I really like. Domo Arigato !!Greetings from Port Chester, New York !!
It's easy! benkyou, shigoto, kaigi, kainomo, jogingu, pati, and tenisu are all nouns, and i.e. kainomo o shimasu literally means "doing shopping" or tenisu o shimase means "doing tennis. tabemasu, nomimasu, mimasu, and kikimasu are verbs. and you don't "do eat" you just eat! :) I hope it helped :)
Sensei is so good in teaching! Her style is very effective and I was able to understand how to construct sentences better that just knowing the words itself. Thank you Sensei! I feel motivated to learn more Japanese. I try to watch 5 episodes per day, and listen to it repeatedly. Then for breaks, I watch more anime, and listen to Japanese songs to try and catch up on the pronunciation. So far I think I'm doing pretty well after several failed attempts to learn, i think this one really works on me :)
I like that in your lessons you spend a lot of time on the grammar and concepts that can be used as building blocks. This has been the best way for me to learn most efficiently. Also, you are a good teacher. Thank you for all your great lessons.
Think of に as "to" and で as "at". So in the above video, it's all examples of "I did (activity) at school/park/office". But if you watch video 5 (the previous lesson) she teaches the use of -ni when you want to say "I go/went to (place) for (activity)" .Hope that helps.
Basics or not, I’ve listened to countless videos on teachers attempting to teach Japanese. All of them fall short of this woman here. I instantly picked it up. I’m glad I found this channel and subscribed after the first few videos. I’ve had a hard time forming sentences and with just 35 minutes of her videos it’s becoming a lot more clear. ありがとせんせい！
I’m a little confused. Have we covered how to say “I” am going to do something or just in general to do things? If so what’s the word for I am? Also, when are things negatives? Are specific words always negative like in French or only when you are saying you are not going to something ??? For example in 10:48 are you going with your friends or are they going without you?
i am also no further than this lesson but heres how i understood: you dont say "I" or "You" if you dont have to. When saying: Kyo depato ni ikimasu (today [to?] department store going) everyone will know that you're talking about yourself. A bunch of languages do this btw. I was also very confused because of this. With negative forms I was also confused like you .I don't think this is like "I eat a cake" -- "A cake was eaten (by me)" So not passive/active voice it's just plainly about not doing something. Like "Do"--"Don't". I think it's like there was "Eat"--"Eatn't" or "Go"--"Gon't". please someone tell me if i'm wrong.
I’m so thankful that I found this channel. I’ve been here in Japan for 2years. Yea, I’m studying in a language school but I learned more to this video. This really helps a lot. I start from the very beginning and will continue to watch. I’m so happy and i’m about to cry because of happiness. 本当に ありがとうございます！ 😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🏻
Eriza Marie im sorry this is two years old hi im xander im planning on moving to japan one day but im having trouble learning japanese 😭 can you help me 😭 i sound weird but i promise I really want to learn
Konnichiwa sensei, I have learned Japanese from 2010 and I haven't managed to learn more, but it takes me a while to figure it out how to speak Japanese, sumimasen sensei, and I am from Ukraine and I am learning how to speak Japanese and speak better Japanese than it was 13 years ago, greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦 I hope to learn more from you Arigatou goizamasu
***** I like it because I want to be able to speak in a different language other than Hungarian, and I want to watch anime without subtitles:P Stephanie has nothing to do with it.

"Your husband might be happy." XD I love her! Great lessons and a sense of humor.

You know things got serious when she brought back the verbs...
Yeah...
So difficult to remember the verb changing
I guess you can say you have a bad feeling about this.
it's good though! Forces me to practice what I've learned before and helps me remember it too
This is such a good teacher for japanese ! 😀😄
she is a good teacher for learning Japanese I think.... :-)
Akai Shuichi I agree with you
I agree with you!
Me too
She's a GREAT teacher! 🌞
Nope, I do not think I know she is a good teacher, because I am one and I know how to teach and she does it well. Excellent job.
This is legit the best series for learning on youtube!
Agreed.

True. A lesson per day is enough!
Whenever I say it right before she says it I feel so smart, even though this is just the basics :P

lol i’m 2023 version💀💔 pretty late tbh..
I was having so much trouble understanding verbs until I saw this series. Sometimes I have to find just the right video to figure something out. lol
Pasta Master very true. Especially when self teaching yourself like I was. It was confusing and really frustrating.
This is one of the only videos that works for me too! The repetition and format she uses really helps to instill the lesson.
Yeah very true. This is the best video I found. Other videos is so musukashi to me.
been 6 years, what happened?
@@maiiezi um. Pretty okay with verbs now. 👍
VERY good classes indeed, incredibly well prepared. I'm learning so fast, at least about the structure of the language, I think the method you use deserves to be imitated.
She's an incredible teacher. I genuinely think I would've quit if not for her.
I love how there’s a little photo of herself when she gives an example about learning at japan society😂❤️its cute and funny
eg. "kare to tenisu wo shi masu" means "Play tenis with him." So you can use it.
kare= boyfriend
kanojo= girlfriend am I right?
@@maxszin_ kareshi = boyfriend
i love your lessons, because they go from the easiest to the hardest...
6:42 "Your husband may be happy" Made me laugh. Thank you sensei
I love sensei''s style of teaching, the repetition and imagary work really well with me. I'd love to find a teacher like this!
This is so legendary channel!!! I understand every word of her! And im watching this on 2023!!

GREATEST TEACHER 🥰🥰🥰
Helpful video for better understanding..Sensei is very knowledgeable and feels comfortable to watch her videos to learn Japanese..
She is also very funny, and i love how she knows when to add a joke.
The pictures help tremendously...and easy pace of speech...

Thank you so much for making these! As a beginner, I already learned way more than I thought I could in only one day! Kudos to you and many thanks :D
It feels so satisfying when you're able to make sentences :D
Thank you so much this is so useful💙 please make some videos🤗 love from Indonesia🇮🇩
Arigato gozaimasu Sensei!!!
it's 6 years later, do you still do Japanese? are you fluent?
@@JessieArt look his profile pic)) i dont think so
This lady is a great teacher! She really knows how to help you retain what she's showing you.
By the end of this lesson I understood the last sentence completely without looking at the screen at all. Very very good job sensei!
I hope she is thriving and well I love this woman
I'm taking an evening class at my university to learn Japanese, and these videos are perfect for revising the work we have been issued! Excellent teaching!

いろいろありがとう、これはとても楽しかった
"not bad" awwwwwww she is sooooo cute!
I am glad to see this channel . ありがとございました
I cant memorize all this in one go, just gotta repeat this a few more times
Very useful exercise to form sentences... although its basic. Could use this kind of exercises in your mind as a brain teaser to practice.
Love the way she delivers her lesson! So enjoyable!
from what i looked up, ie is "house", the physical building "i bought a new house", and uchi is "home" like "i go home" or "we are at home"
Yes ie means house and iie means no
When she said "Tennis o shimasu," it gave me a sudden pang to miss the Prince of Tennis. (love that show!)
Ah, yes. The anime where the biggest plot twist was always that the main character was left handed all along.
