Thanks so much as always, Benjiro! These videos have helped to improve my listening skills SO much since I started watching them last December! You're wonderful for doing this.
You prolly dont give a shit but if you guys are bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend during the lockdown xD
That's the format of most of his video, I think it's because they are meant for learners to listen to native speakers rather than listen to him so they rarely ask questions, his role is mostly directing the content, there are also other videos where the natives talks most of the video and he just make some short comments here and there.
Thank you so much for the useful videos. It helps me a lot. For a while I didn't see any new videos. What a pity! Could you show me the way to contact Japanese people like this?
I dont fully understand all what their saying but I know what they are talking about. Its been 9 months since i started learning and I still cant fully comprehend formal/casual conversation like this. Maybe because I self study, どうすればいい?
how's your japanese doing now? i also started with benjiro's videos, almost 2 years ago. you can definitely do it with self-study. a lot more efficiently than with classes, too, in my opinion.
I'm a little confused - every time I think I have an overview of referring to people I seem to have it wrong! At 40ish secs does Chikasan refer to her own mother and father as お母さんとお父さん？ Is it sometimes acceptable to refer to your own parents this way, well I mean it obviously is if a native speaker is doing it, but what makes it right in this instance when every time I've said something like this I've been corrected?
Seems like it's a recent trend. Some people do it, others don't. Using 父 and 母 is more "proper", so you will probably always get corrected that way. Apparently some feel it's "childish" to use お父さん お母さん. ref: oshiete.goo.ne.jp/qa/3829156.html detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1180985611
Really good videos I would really like to see hirigana/katakana subtitles though just so when I hear a word I don't know; I can easily go look it up. :) (If you do add subtitles please consider using the captioning system or annotations so that we can turn them off too and try to hear the words on our own. :) ) For example at 0:18 it sounds like you say "チカサンはいまいあにますか？” to which she replies "はい、わたしはいまいあじんいます。” and I don't understand what is being said with what appears to be "ianimasu" or "iajinimasu"
Of course I can't subtitle the whole video for you, but at 0:18 they say 「ちかさんはいまいえにいますか。」 「はい、わたしはいまいえにいます。」 "Chika-san wa ima ie ni imasu ka?" "Hai, watashi wa ima ie ni imasu."
@@Desh681 i got the opportunity to stay in japan for 6 months. i keep in contact with my Japanese friends that i have made. i try to use some Rosetta Stone, Genkii textbooks, Unko Kanji Drill. but i watch and listen to a lot of TV/ movies/ anime. my listening is the worst and TV shows help. mainly i try to have people i can talk to in Japanese so they can correct me. i use things i hear and try to recreate them in my daily usage. down side is that this has been a slow year for me to learn and have not improved much. im still very novice,
it is best way to learn from my point of view.but I have suggestion that if it go with topic vice or using Pareto 80:20 formula it will be awesome .I mean for words which using frequently which covered more than 80% daily conversation words.
Thank you you both are awesome! Chika was cute and her answers were easy to understand, I also liked how she uses hand signs to explain the meanings

My Lord 🙏
Wow this is incredibly useful for listening practice. I hope you upload these often
そうですね！とてもいいです！

@Lorenzo Andrew Yup, have been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)
This is a best way to make remember the learners...awesome video....one of the best Japanese conversation learning video.. arigatou gozaimasu
すごく面白かったです。動画を作ってくれてありがとう！
Discovered your channel today and all of this is pure gold. Cannot thank you enough, glad you're releasing these. Much love!
Thanks Really helpful at my level.
Keep on repeating watching it
Thank you great video, I like how she use hand signs to represent what she is saying 😁
Every Benjiro's vidio is useful for me. Arigatou gozaimasu 🙏🙏
These are great, I wish they were still being made.
There's one recent one from this year.
This is pretty great, thank you :).
Chika is 29?! Bloody hell, she looks early 20s. What do these Japanese women eat!?
I found her RUclips channel and there she looks like 25, still younger than she actually is
@@horkade sharing is caring!
here they eat very little foot like 2 boiled eggs in breakfast and lunch vegetables soup and most of them eat fish in dinner and white rice
@@pieroramos1152 Sorry for taking too long
Here is her channel: ruclips.net/user/k2506091videos
That's so weird to me that she doesn't return the questions back to him and he's the only one doing efforts to make a conversation.
That's the format of most of his video, I think it's because they are meant for learners to listen to native speakers rather than listen to him so they rarely ask questions, his role is mostly directing the content, there are also other videos where the natives talks most of the video and he just make some short comments here and there.
It's frustratingly common amongst Japanese people to communicate like this.
*Chika doesn't like hitting kids*
"What if your kid hit another child?"
What is this? A Voight-Kampff test? lol
べんじろさんありがとうございます！とても面白いですね。
こにちゅわ
Benjiro san pls feed me more😥

Thank you so much for the useful videos. It helps me a lot.
For a while I didn't see any new videos. What a pity!
Could you show me the way to contact Japanese people like this?
They are tutors who I contacted through italki.com
@@BenjiroJapanese aha. I see. Are you fluently in Japanese now?
I dont fully understand all what their saying but I know what they are talking about. Its been 9 months since i started learning and I still cant fully comprehend formal/casual conversation like this. Maybe because I self study, どうすればいい?

This is probably my favorite. ☺️

お父さんとお母さんis sometimes used to mean Papa and Mama when referring to your own parents.
Very good video

Mainly videos of me conversing with Japanese people in slower, simpler Japanese to help people pick up more of the language.
thats cool. i was able to understand some of what was said in this video, but not all. im still considering myself very new to the language.
do you have a Discord? id love to probs learn a bit more and what not. if you dont mind
@@APersonTV How has your learning gone? What tools did you use over the years?
