Yuko sensei, please share common mistakes when learning japanese, with us. This helped me lot when I learnt english. By the way my native language has many problems in the grammar so when read a book in my own language, I couldn't understand some sentences at first reading. Does japanese have grammatical problems much?
@White Panther haha thanks, I can pick up languages pretty fast, right before Japanese I studied Russian and Cyrillic, but I've got to admit that Japanese is by far the hardest, my biggest issue is Kanji... And sometimes writing long sentences I get so lost as to where to put which word, especially adjectives and adverbs. But yeah, Hiragana and Katakana are easy and some Grammar forms like want to, potential, causative etc and etc. Kanji on the other hand, I am not so sure about that haha, I just learned about 163 kanjis in less than 2 weeks, to think theres 2136 jouyo kanjis uh my heads gonna explode lol. I honestly hope I can learn at least 1000 kanjis to be able to read something, since kanjis are everywhere
@White Panther I agree, I initially wanted 30 kanjis every week haha, and yet here I learned 163 in less than 2 weeks, I really should slow down, especially when thinking native Japanese learned all kanjis over few years span, they didnt lear it over night haha
Kinou wa hachi ji goro ni bangohan o tabete imashita. Sorry if it's wrong, I've been learning Japanese for only 3 months. I can write this in Japanese by hand but I didn't work out how to do it on my phone yet.
Sensei, is this correct? 多分僕の部屋で秦基博さんの音楽を聞きていました。 (I was trying to say: I was probably listening to Motohiro Hata's music in my room.) By the way, should I use 僕 if I wanted to specify 部屋 as my room? すいません！ (Edit: added "trying to say...")
Gabrielさん、The sentence is almost correct. The TE Form of "listen" is 聞いて. Also, 僕の is fine here but 自分の（じぶんの） sounds better. Native speaker would use that one. 自分 = oneself 多分自分の部屋で秦基博さんの音楽を聞いていました。 To make it even more natural, we would add "I think" since you used "perhaps" in the sentence, meaning you are not 100% sure. 多分自分の部屋で 秦基博さんの音楽を聞いていたと思います。 I hope this helps! では、また。
Yuko Sensei, I'm unsure if you are still answering older videos but I am uncertain on how to say 'I was at home, watching RUclips ON my computer'. Mostly the 'ON my computer' part since, in English we are not using the 'ON' in its literal sense. I.e not the same as 上 in Japanese. I'm guessing I can't use で twice? Its confusing since the action(watching) is taking 'place' (computer) within another place (home). e.g. I can say 'I was at home watching RUclips' easily enough. = 「昨日家で ユーチューブ を目ていました」 But how do I add "RUclips on my computer" in the sentence structure? Is it - 「昨日家で パソコンでユーチューブ を目ていました」...or...「昨日家で パソコンのユーチューブ を目ていました」 ....or am I still wrong? Any clarification is much appreciated. :)
TheKumaraさん、いいしつもんですね。(That's a good question!) In the context, the English preposition ON is used to mark a tool, not a place. It is indicating that you used a computer (not your phone or iPad) to watch RUclips, so you have to mark the computer with the particle で DE, the Tool Marker. You can watch this video where I discuss about how to use the particle で to mark a tool. ruclips.net/video/sdJARcFw3B4/видео.html So, the sentence "Yesterday, I was at home watching RUclips ON my computer" is 昨日家でコンピューターでユーチューブを見ていました。 Yes, like this you can use one particle for multiple functions in one sentence. The first で in the sentence is the Place of Action marker and the second で is the Tool marker. I hope this helps! (^^)
Hello Yuko Sensei! Thank you so much for your lesson! It was clear and thorough. I only have one question, related to the multiple questions in a sentence: is there a fixed order of the question words? For example, do I have to place どこで and 何を in this specific order? Or can I invert the order? Thank you again for your wonderful lesson, ありがとうございます！
ahmed-san, I do speak fast too when I am speaking with another Japanese person. Here I am trying to speak slowly and clearly because this is a lesson for non-Japanese people. I am glad that the lesson was helpful!
Sensei, is this correct? Sentence: "He (Suzuki-san) was drinking wine and doing video games" Translation: "Suzuki-san wa wain o nonde bideogemu o shite imashita" or this? "Suzuki-san wa wain o nonde imashita soshite bideogemu o shite imashita"
I still don't understand the difference between saying "Mearii-san wa mainichi sushi wo tabemasu." and "Mearii-san wa mainichi sushi wo tabeteimasu." Do these mean the same things?
Pankajさん、If you say メアリーさんはいま本をよみます it doesn't mean she is reading a book now. It sounds more like she will read a book soon or she is about to read a book.
Plain forms of verbs means dictionary forms. That is verb form without conjugation. E.g Nomu (To drink) before nomimasu. Taberu (To eat) before tabemasu Nomu, taberu are play form of the verbs nomimasu and tabemasu respectively.
@@loulamperouge2557 -san, Yes, "Uchi de terebi o mimashita" means "I watched TV at home" and "Uchi de terebi o mite imashita" means "I was watching TV at home." Hope you see the difference.

So,if we used 'masu form', it's like 'simple present tense' in english, isn't? And when we used te form, it's continous? Isn't it?

Can you wright this with just hiragana please ?!
I'm confused what is a plain form? Is that something like a verb without _ing_ ? Like _read_ in plain form then TE form it becomes _reading_ ?
Plain forms of verbs means dictionary forms. That is verb form without conjugation.
E.g
Nomu (To drink) before nomimasu.
Taberu (To eat) before tabemasu
Nomu, taberu are play form of the verbs nomimasu and tabemasu respectively.

Is this also grammatically correct?
"Uchi de terebi o mimashita"
instead of
"Uchi de terebi o mite imashita"
oh sorry, i just realized "mimashita" is "watch" at past form.
"mite imashita" is "watching" at that current time (in this case at the past)
