I watched this video for the first time about two weeks ago...at that time I still didn't know hiragana (now I've started katakana)...I can say that at that time I was like: it's impossible, I don't get anything...now I'm like: wow, look I can read what's written there!!! To all those who are learning....がんばってください (GANBATTE KUDASAI) IT'S WORTH IT!!!! The joy of understanding is so much greater than the difficulties to study it! Thank you very much for all your work in making this videos, they're really appreciated.
The same thing exists in Chinese. There's no way I understood measure words (as my teacher called them) in 8 mins. This video requires so much background knowledge. It's a big jump from the previous ones.
+DaZ316 my advice!! at first learn one way to count, wich is used for anithing!! hitocu, futacu, micu ...... you don't need more ways so far. after some time your japanes experence will give you it itself
Tbh just ignore counters. Like literally, they're the most difficult thing about the language and only account for a small amount of the language. There's tons of counters for all sorts of object types so I guess unless there's a common type of object you might have to refer to often, just skip this til nearer to the end.
You know when you play a game as a kid and can't figure out how to beat it, then 15 years go by and you wonder how you were so bad. This video makes me feel about 5 years old.
Absolutely loved this video! It's so refreshing to find content that's both informative and concise from a native Japanese speaker that jumps straight to the lessons. Speaking of learning, if anyone's interested in diving deeper into Japanese, I've been using apps like Ling and other online resource such as NHK Japanese to expand my knowledge. They've been incredibly helpful in making learning accessible and fun. Keep up the great work with these videos-I'm already looking forward to the next one!
In english you don't say I want 6 water. You say I want 6 glasses of water. In much the same way you need to put a unit on everything in japanese. You don't want 6 stamps, you want 6 flat thing stamps.
Жаль, что в этом уроке, нет английских субтитров. Спасибо огромное! Ваш юмор просто восхитителен. Очень приятно учиться по вашим урокам. Простите, что на русском!)
On is a Chinese-style reading of a character. Kun is a Japanese reading of Chinese character. I found the article about them online so you can check it out. Search "The Types Of Kanji In Japanese: On’Yomi vs. Kun’Yomi."
wow im sooo happy, that this series gets continued! :) her lessons helped me to pass my exam in japanese 1 ! :) but i cant read hiragana, so i need to work on that now :(
It’s My third day and I know about a 4rth of it. Accents were easy thanks to 4 years of listening to subs. Using polar bear cafe to try to pick up the language immersion style
Thanks for everything JS, but I believe this is were we go our separate ways. This video was difficult to understand, no english translations, heck I didn't even know what an "Interrogatives" was lol. Puni puni here I come! >:3
+namdev chintapalli true, without proper translation or even some slight explanation about how stuff is expressed, those videos are next to useless. One might "know" stuff, but cant actually "teach" stuff.
+jamc666 there is explanation. Whenever a new word or idea is introduced. Also the several videos in the series before this one. If you've watched them properly and practiced the stuff in them, you shouldn't need literal translations for what's in this video.
Bruce Jefferies Have been watching a couple of those videos. They all boil down to reading example sentences without meaningful explanation; the viewer ends up watching the same video over and over again and go figure out what's what by him/herself ... Nevermind, there are other, better, channels out there to bring Japanese across.
I've noticed that if you go though the later lessons once or twice, then go back and rewatch early ones, you can understand a bit more of what is going on and learn more from them then if you only watched the lessons in order until you mastered them
My Eyes Are Spinning...And There Is A Question Mark On The Top Of My Head 😂😂😂And Now I Have A Headache....Well This Will Take Me While To Memorize....Still Thanks JapaneseSociety For Teaching Us Because Of Your Teaching We've Understand Japanese Better 😄😄😄
Definitely it has so many things to learn seen from even me Japanese, though it's made well in order to be understood (aside from the speed lol). The comments here remind me of learning English articles...!
Respect and thanks for all japanese lessons, I was delighted about it and happy, but at this point I'm starting to cry.... :( "long things-ippon niho" OMG... I'll never to learn it! :(((
When I started learning Japanese, the very first thing I learned was the Hirigana and Katakana alphabet. So that actually wasn't really confusing to me. I thought from 6:50 onwards, that's when it got really confusing.
All the people complaining about no romanji in this video... seriously how lazy are you? At this point you should be able to read hiragana and katakana without any problem. Just take like two hours to learn them already! If you only wanna learn a few basic sentences in Japanese just for fun, I don’t think this is the video to watch. These videos are for people who want to at least be able to form their own sentences.
In Chinese 本 is the base of the tree, which is round so it makes sense for the counter of cylindrical objects. Don't add romanji! Its distracting and writes letters that make it look like diphthongs. I'm glad you added more videos, you are an excellent teacher that doesn't waste any time like most other youtube teachers do.
Im glad its mostly hiragana since I memorize and I understand most katakana as well, but I couldnt really grasp this one. I understand the different counters but I just got lost when she was saying all the bags at the end, I didnt know what they meant but I could read it which doesn't really help. Thank you for the amazing lesson.
when you write it in the charaters could you also letter it like you did with the previous videos so we as students can understand how its said or pronouced like for exampleありがとう(arigatou)
This lesson doesnt have latin words. I dont know katakana or higarana, I just want to learn to speak. Please design lessons as previous ones. They're easier to follow.
If anyone's italian here, when she starts to list all the ways to count she reminds me of Nico from "Mai dire gol" "Sapparregghielle per Olivera, per Dely Valdes suffinnigghi!"
From my understanding, the all around counter from 1-10 is quite similar to the day of the month from 1-10.. It will be much easier to understand then. Good luck ^_^
Really helpful; I had to rewind to fully get it though lol. The tsu counter was easy to understand :) The closed lip and open lip thing confused me but after watching it again I think I get it.
I agree with Jason, usually you have the words written in English, but they were not. I will have to watch this and find another sight that has it in English spelling
Since you made the lessons from now on with only using Japanese letters, could you please add some Romaji subtitles, in order for the lessons to be understood more easily?
2:48 Rule doesn't work. How are lips are open and the end of 4 is clearly N? 3:17 10x: Juu is definitely open. I guess we have to just ignore the rule as always and just memorize them D:
Romanization leads to miss-pronunciation in most cases. I seriously suggest just learning Hiragana, it will really help with the learning of Japanese :D
Selma Cullen Hiragana is easy, depending on how easily you remember things. :) I learned and memorized my Hiragana in about two weeks. Katakana is taking me longer, though xD
hello guys , i don't have any basis in Japanese, i have recently learnt first five lessons, whats will be better , to learn alphabet and then continue or what ?
Hey everyone who is probabily confused at this video. If you want to continue from here, I'd really recommend to learn katakana and hiragana first. Thanks :D
Good video .. some kanji's are back (Wow) the only thing that they didn't review was about the two different ways to counter 雑誌、新聞 that could be 冊、部 but gj I like the videos from JS
Hello. Very useful videos. Thank you. One question if I may - How do you count repeated ACTIONS - kicks of a football for instance or steps walked up a hill.
colourfulwords66 Generally, repeated actions are counted by the word "kai回". For example, "once" is "1kai(ikkai)1回", "twice" is "2kai(nikai)2回", "three times" is “3kai(sankai)3回”, “four times” is “4kai(yonkai)4回”,･･･. “kicking a football 5 times” is “sakka:bo:ru(=football) wo 5kai(gokai) keru サッカーボールを5回蹴る”, and “6 kicks” is “6keri(rokkeri)6蹴り”. “keru蹴る” is a verb for “kick”, and “keri蹴り” is a noun for “kick”. Steps are counted with the word “ho/po歩”. “1 step” is “1歩(ippo)”, “2 steps” is “2歩(niho)”, “3 steps” is “3歩(sanho/sanpo)”,･･･. This can be used either in walking up a hill or in walking the level ground.
Did they change the editor, cuz yeah nice new greenscreen background whatever, but you gotta show the text translations. The text shown is in Japanese. We don't know Japanese! That's why we're here! We can't read it
i agree.....compare to previous lessions....most of the things gone above my head.....bc most of the things are in japanese words...and verval not written in words.....Pls help us....DOMO ARIGATO.
First of all, thank you very much for your lessons. Until this lesson No. 11 I was almost understanding, and reading what written your board - but now I cannot read any thing as I do not know how to read your script. I am puzzled and not sure whether I can continue this lesson. Too bad. Sorry.
I watched this video for the first time about two weeks ago...at that time I still didn't know hiragana (now I've started katakana)...I can say that at that time I was like: it's impossible, I don't get anything...now I'm like: wow, look I can read what's written there!!!

Thank you very much for all your work in making this videos, they're really appreciated.
Hai ganbarimasu😁😁
Oh my goodness! I literally laughed out loud at the "Purada no kaban desu" part, where the price tag said "+1 kidney" 笑笑笑
+jarannalli hahaha, yes it is so expensive that it worth a kidney, :)
right hahahahahaha
Me tooo X3
Same XD
8:01
I can't believe there's so many different ways to count things. Flat things. Tofu. Time. Apples. I need a whole day to study this one
The same thing exists in Chinese. There's no way I understood measure words (as my teacher called them) in 8 mins. This video requires so much background knowledge. It's a big jump from the previous ones.
+DaZ316 my advice!! at first learn one way to count, wich is used for anithing!! hitocu, futacu, micu ...... you don't need more ways so far. after some time your japanes experence will give you it itself
That joke about going back to the store twice really got me. I laughed soooo hard and told everyone around me lol
me toooo hahahahaha
lol same, this woman is hilarious :P
me toooooo
Loved it as well haha
I had to rewind back to look for the kidney!! 😄
Why from 10 episode everything suddenly become so diffucult.........
real face of japanese :))))
Tbh just ignore counters. Like literally, they're the most difficult thing about the language and only account for a small amount of the language. There's tons of counters for all sorts of object types so I guess unless there's a common type of object you might have to refer to often, just skip this til nearer to the end.
agree! :(
Suddenly assumes that we can read the hiragana without its pronunciation
sunsad go learn hiragana then. It takes like a couple afternoons to learn. If you struggle here, good luck with the rest of the language
This video is the final boss.
things escalated quickly it went from woah this stuff is easy to wtf is this in just one video
rabii mahdoud you ain't seen nothing yet
You know when you play a game as a kid and can't figure out how to beat it, then 15 years go by and you wonder how you were so bad. This video makes me feel about 5 years old.
+rabii mahdoud yeah idk what's going on xD
Lmao just 10 more years before you'll understand the video xD
I guess its easier to go to the store twice rather than having to learn all of this.
lmao True
Lol yeah
fact!

Please don't hesitate to ask us questions! Ganbatte kudasai :)
Sure
"+1 kidney" I love the sense of humour in your lessons :)
same for me
I love the background, the board, and the sensei! Thank you for this.
I learnt Japanese the most from you. It's so straight forward and you don't waste any time and your jokes are hilarious.
it is helpful to learn hiragana;
and they were nice enough to give us 10 lessons before gently suggesting it
OK I'll admit I got completely lost on this one.
lmao same here.
Me too!
I was trying to learn japnese what she started teaching chinese in this lecture !
-peace (ruclips.net/video/v7sxse5FMLo/видео.html)
In english you don't say I want 6 water. You say I want 6 glasses of water. In much the same way you need to put a unit on everything in japanese. You don't want 6 stamps, you want 6 flat thing stamps.
me too
Did anyone else get super confused on this one!?!? Coming back to it later!!!
Long cylinder things:(bon)
1 - ippon
2 - nihon
3 - sanbon
4 - yonhon
5 - gohon
6 - roppun
7 - nanahon
8 - happon
9 - kyuhon
10 - jyuppon
How much - ikura desuka?
Жаль, что в этом уроке, нет английских субтитров. Спасибо огромное! Ваш юмор просто восхитителен. Очень приятно учиться по вашим урокам. Простите, что на русском!)
You need to go to the store twice!!! lol
These are really good lessons
On is a Chinese-style reading of a character. Kun is a Japanese reading of Chinese character. I found the article about them online so you can check it out. Search "The Types Of Kanji In Japanese: On’Yomi vs. Kun’Yomi."
1:59 On the wine bottle is written in french sueur de chien "Dogs' sweat"
She is an EXCELLENT teacher! Domo arigatou gozaimasu!
*Clicked "Watch Later" button, Then I try to learn Hiraganas and Katakanas **30 minutes later** I pass out due to sever headache ;-;
OMG! Maybe she doesn't have a perfect pronunciation but she's the best, I keep everything in my mind when she is the teacher, she is amazing.
Out of all the lessons on this channel, I learned the most from Miyashita-sensei.
I LOLed when you showed the prada bag to be the price of 1 kidney
The level of difficulty from lesson 10 to lesson 11 jumped way too high, I feel lost.
yea the difficulty level just skyrocketed. AND THEY ALSO OMITTED THE PHONETICS! someone's lazy.....
wow im sooo happy, that this series gets continued! :) her lessons helped me to pass my exam in japanese 1 ! :) but i cant read hiragana, so i need to work on that now :(
It's been 10 years, how's the progress?
It’s My third day and I know about a 4rth of it.
Accents were easy thanks to 4 years of listening to subs.
Using polar bear cafe to try to pick up the language immersion style
Thanks for everything JS, but I believe this is were we go our separate ways. This video was difficult to understand, no english translations, heck I didn't even know what an "Interrogatives" was lol. Puni puni here I come! >:3
"Interrogative" is an english she ironically mispronounced horribly lol
Thanks for your videos but we require translation in English.
+namdev chintapalli That's what the pictures are for
+namdev chintapalli true, without proper translation or even some slight explanation about how stuff is expressed, those videos are next to useless.
One might "know" stuff, but cant actually "teach" stuff.

I started learning nihongo from her videos thank you so much, it really help my self study as she pronounced it good
My Eyes Are Spinning...And There Is A Question Mark On The Top Of My Head 😂😂😂And Now I Have A Headache....Well This Will Take Me While To Memorize....Still Thanks JapaneseSociety For Teaching Us Because Of Your Teaching We've Understand Japanese Better 😄😄😄
no problem I realized she was teaching chinese soon before !
-peace (ruclips.net/video/VH_y3VI-g60/видео.html)
Definitely it has so many things to learn seen from even me Japanese, though it's made well in order to be understood (aside from the speed lol).
The comments here remind me of learning English articles...!
How funny that I live in Japan and I am learning the language from you in the US! Thx!
せんせい, I love you sooooo much!
This video is so hard but don't worry せんせい , I'll keep learning it! ❤️
Respect and thanks for all japanese lessons, I was delighted about it and happy, but at this point I'm starting to cry.... :( "long things-ippon niho" OMG... I'll never to learn it! :(((
Your teaching style is really better God bless you..........keep it up
I guess I'll be one of those people returning to store twice XDD I wish I could have a sensei like you! You are an amazing teacher! Arigatou!
this lesson is overwhelming...............@O@.........
Yeah, it was a lot, but do your best.
I don't think these ***free*** classes suck at all.
She put Japanese letters... Thats what screwed me over =/
***** hhahhhaha that is happening to me as well >.
***** You should learn Hiragana and Katakana, it's quite easy actually :)
QUIT IT WITH THE KANJI, TEACH ME WITH ROMANJI
The best teaching method
Why did they stop typing the Japanese with English characters? So hard to follow along now
When I started learning Japanese, the very first thing I learned was the Hirigana and Katakana alphabet. So that actually wasn't really confusing to me. I thought from 6:50 onwards, that's when it got really confusing.
On this moment, i closed video and go to sleep.
Yes, I can finally read well in enough to keep up with this lesson!
I've just practiced Katakana and Hiragana for 2 weeks. Now I can keep up. I'm still having difficulties learning kanji though.
Just realized there were notes from the lesson in the description this whole time. I was manually typing the notes this whole time.
I was doing it manually since lesson 1! Thank you for your comment, you are gold!
ありがとうございました。
"Go to the store twice." >.< haha
All the people complaining about no romanji in this video... seriously how lazy are you? At this point you should be able to read hiragana and katakana without any problem.

I'm glad you added more videos, you are an excellent teacher that doesn't waste any time like most other youtube teachers do.
it's not even the lack of romaji that's messing me up. it's when you go up to the hand bags stuff i didn't even know what she was asking
this is really fast....cnt grasp that easily
Im glad its mostly hiragana since I memorize and I understand most katakana as well, but I couldnt really grasp this one. I understand the different counters but I just got lost when she was saying all the bags at the end, I didnt know what they meant but I could read it which doesn't really help. Thank you for the amazing lesson.
it was terrific,i could not understand without english translations
did someone understand this story of the opening of the mouth and differences between hon, pon, bon ?? i'm lost on this one, thank you!
when you write it in the charaters could you also letter it like you did with the previous videos so we as students can understand how its said or pronouced like for exampleありがとう(arigatou)
I'm sure you've learned your kana by now ;)
yah kind of still practicing tho
yah kind of still practicing tho
yah kind of still practicing tho
yes kind of still practicing though
most difficult lesson of the series so far especially without the romanization and with the speed. head spinning 0.o
This lesson doesnt have latin words. I dont know katakana or higarana, I just want to learn to speak. Please design lessons as previous ones. They're easier to follow.
If anyone's italian here, when she starts to list all the ways to count she reminds me of Nico from "Mai dire gol"
"Sapparregghielle per Olivera, per Dely Valdes suffinnigghi!"
I second a comment posted earlier here. Romaji captions for those big sentences would be a great help really
From my understanding, the all around counter from 1-10 is quite similar to the day of the month from 1-10.. It will be much easier to understand then. Good luck ^_^
Really helpful; I had to rewind to fully get it though lol. The tsu counter was easy to understand :) The closed lip and open lip thing confused me but after watching it again I think I get it.
LOL the brand of the wine 'sueur de chiens' means dogs sweat
lmao ... so true
Well, i rarely understand anything from this lesson though I am following from the 1st lesson :(
Good skill of teaching......please keep it up ....good job
Thank you very much... I have often wondered why the counters changed pronunciation.
I agree with Jason, usually you have the words written in English, but they were not. I will have to watch this and find another sight that has it in English spelling
Great lessons!!!
xDD The price for the Prada bag "+ 1 kidney", seems legit to me (sarcasm).
Thank you for the great lesson!
I laugh at the price of Prada kaban.
It's $$$$$ + 1 kidney. lol !
it's same for me ! lol
Thank you so much 🥰🙏
I love the way she teaches :)
I learned new things today :) doumo arigatou sensei
Since you made the lessons from now on with only using Japanese letters, could you please add some Romaji subtitles, in order for the lessons to be understood more easily?
It took me a second to figure out what was happening
+kukharuk vova i know exactly what you feel lmao
It took me less then a sec to realize she is teaching chinese now !
-peace (ruclips.net/video/PEx4DJmD08M/видео.html)
I like this sensei!
Its ok ill just watch it again and again until i get it
Im slowly getting it.
2:48 Rule doesn't work. How are lips are open and the end of 4 is clearly N? 3:17 10x: Juu is definitely open. I guess we have to just ignore the rule as always and just memorize them D:
Had me laughing at the joke she made about going to the store twice. Best Sensei ever indeed.
Thank you soo much for this it really helped!!
I still didn't learn the Japanese alphabet, so this lesson is really hard for me :/ Can you write in Romanization instead?!
Romanization leads to miss-pronunciation in most cases. I seriously suggest just learning Hiragana, it will really help with the learning of Japanese :D
I got what you mean. I'll try to learn it soon. Thanks :)
Selma Cullen Hiragana is easy, depending on how easily you remember things. :) I learned and memorized my Hiragana in about two weeks. Katakana is taking me longer, though xD
hello guys , i don't have any basis in Japanese, i have recently learnt first five lessons, whats will be better , to learn alphabet and then continue or what ?
Lesson 11 jumped right into Hiragana from scratch!
If you are Korean, Filipino and Japanese it is very easy to us.
I'm Korean
if Kanji if you are Chinese or Taiwanese it is very easy
Hey everyone who is probabily confused at this video. If you want to continue from here, I'd really recommend to learn katakana and hiragana first. Thanks :D
Good video .. some kanji's are back (Wow) the only thing that they didn't review was about the two different ways to counter 雑誌、新聞 that could be 冊、部 but gj I like the videos from JS
This lesson is tricking me
Hello. Very useful videos. Thank you. One question if I may - How do you count repeated ACTIONS - kicks of a football for instance or steps walked up a hill.
colourfulwords66 Generally, repeated actions are counted by the word "kai回". For example, "once" is "1kai(ikkai)1回", "twice" is "2kai(nikai)2回", "three times" is “3kai(sankai)3回”, “four times” is “4kai(yonkai)4回”,･･･. “kicking a football 5 times” is “sakka:bo:ru(=football) wo 5kai(gokai) keru サッカーボールを5回蹴る”, and “6 kicks” is “6keri(rokkeri)6蹴り”. “keru蹴る” is a verb for “kick”, and “keri蹴り” is a noun for “kick”. Steps are counted with the word “ho/po歩”. “1 step” is “1歩(ippo)”, “2 steps” is “2歩(niho)”, “3 steps” is “3歩(sanho/sanpo)”,･･･. This can be used either in walking up a hill or in walking the level ground.
thx
this is my first video here and i already subscribed ^^
ahh where did the Romaji go?!
Did they change the editor, cuz yeah nice new greenscreen background whatever, but you gotta show the text translations. The text shown is in Japanese. We don't know Japanese! That's why we're here! We can't read it
this is really helpful! arigato!
i agree.....compare to previous lessions....most of the things gone above my head.....bc most of the things are in japanese words...and verval not written in words.....Pls help us....DOMO ARIGATO.
You help me a lot!
i'm back from learning hiragana / katakana
I"M READY
Thank you michellesan.
Better realize it now while you`ve just scrached it`s surface. It never gets easy. A LOT more to come.
the last bit about the bags went by very fast with little explanation
First of all, thank you very much for your lessons. Until this lesson No. 11 I was almost understanding, and reading what written your board - but now I cannot read any thing as I do not know how to read your script. I am puzzled and not sure whether I can continue this lesson. Too bad. Sorry.
why did 350 use "Biyaku" instead of "hiyaku" for 100? Is it another conjugation, if so what are the rules?
