Trivia: In Portuguese we got "né?" which is short for "não é?" (Isn't it?) and it is used pretty much the same way as ね at the end of sentences when you expect someone else to agree.
We have the same in Afrikaans, a "ne" sentence ending particle that asks for agreement :) Pretty cool how widespread it is - I assume it might be a part of other Germanic languages too. I wonder if the Portuguese variation is a recent addition to the language. It would be interesting if it was in Latin languages as well, would make me wonder if it comes from even before proto-indo-european languages.
@@BothHands1 I don't know if it is really related (probably not), but in Latin you add -ne to the verb to make the sentence a yes or no question. But the verb is typically at the beginning of the sentence in such questions. E. g.: "Vis ire domum" = "You want to go home." to "Visne ire domum?" = "Do you want to go home?"
Seems like "ne" is pretty much an international phenomenon. In german, "ne?" (actually "nä?", but its spoken the same way) is the short informal form of "nicht wahr?", which basically means "isn't it?" This is very convenient :)))
The よ ending sounds like when people start a sentence with "actually..." We find that annoying when overused too! Some people make fun it spelling it "akshully." 😆
In west part of Germany we also say "..., ne?" , which is informal for "..., oder nicht?" (= or not) In south, they often say "..., gell" instead. My japanese teacher said, she was glad, she came from Bavaria to west Germany, because she can use "ne" again :D
We have the same in Afrikaans. I don't know if it's an abbreviation for anything, but it's cool to see it's in both Romance and Germanic languages. I wonder how old it is as a language construct
It's strange because here in italy, in particular in Turin, they use "ne" in the same way as japanese language. For example "Is hot today isn't it?" in Turin they say "Fa caldo oggi ne?!"...so strange...
In Brazil, at least in Sao Paulo, we use "ne" the same way. Like "Tá quente hoje, né?". Now I don't know if it's because of the Italian or Japanese immigration strong influence here. Lol.
i started watching this bc i was bored but it was so good i ended up getting out my book and taking notes lmao i love my japanese teacher but nothing beats knowledge from a native speaker. no matter how fluent someone is, if they're not from the country there's only so much they can teach you. subscribed ;)
日本語が学びたい人の為に日本語を教えている天使はそらから降りていらっしゃいました。 The explanations of the context and the examples are so much better, than those of my former university Lecturer. The way Misa Sensei teaches japanese Language is awesome and teaches as if she had along deep experience in teaching. Thank you very much for working on your channel. ミサ先生は日本語を心より教えていらっしゃいますね。 ドイツのベルリンの御挨拶
It's the structure of the sentences, plus how these particle combos can be used that makes Japanese such a complicated, simple, logical yet challenging puzzle to get your head around. You've made each pattern structures clear, and comfortable to hear and learn to in less time than a full day's practical. More of this please!
13:48 I'm so glad that you taught me this rule. (The fact that you have to put だ between a noun and よ or ね). I always thought that people sometimes combine the だ-particle and ね, or the だ-particle and よ. I never understood why people did that. But now I know that だ is not a particle in that context. Correct me if this is wrong.
I really love how you explain things in a very detailed way. Sure, your videos are soooooo long and I barely even have time to watch until finish, but once I do, it's so worth it. Thanks a bunch!
I found your channel because I have a Japanese placement test tomorrow for university. I think I like your channel because you go in depth while staying on topic. I enjoy your channel so much and you give me inspiration to learn Japanese. I know I'll learn plenty from you, thank you for uploading!
It's more for emphasis in English. The use in Japanese is a little more specific/grammatical. They could definitely be used in some of the same situations though.
I’m 19 and I’ ll be visiting Osaka in March. I’m going by myself and I’m really excited about it, but I’m not looking forward to the language barrier. All the Japanese I know is from anime and J-Drama shows (and a little bit from Duolingo), so I can’t even hold a decent conversation :( Your videos are very helpful, though. I will make sure to have watched them all by March. I appreciate the effort you put into these videos. 本当にありがとうございます！
I'm a little jealous. I made it to Osaka in October and I really want to go back. I have a few recommendations, if you'd like. First is rail passes. There's a long line at the Tourist office at the airport, but if you're doing a lot of traveling they can really help out. The Kansai Thru Pass can be used on non-consecutive days and saves a bit on the rip from the airport if your flying into Kansai International. The other day or two can be used for longer trips where you would buy multiple tickets to save lots of money. Osaka Amazing Pass comes as one or two day passes, and can only be used on consecutive days. It includes free admission to a ton of tourist spots like Osaka Castle and the Umeda Sky Building observatory. Tsutenkaku Tower is included weekdays, but on weekends it's only a discount rather than free. It's a tacky and over crowded tourist trap, but worth while if it's free. It also has free admission to a number of boat tours. I saved more than the cost of the pass. If you aren't traveling past Miyajima or Iwakuni I'd recommend the JR West Hiroshima Wide Pass. For about the cost of one round trip on the Shinkansen you get 5 days unlimited travel on the JR West system. If you're into animation, that's the pass that gets you to Onomichi (Kamichu) and Takehara (Tamayura). And I also got the Kintetsu pass, because a lot of my destinations, like the Ise shrine, were in the Kintetsu service area. My hotel was a ten minute walk from the station. For destinations, I can also recommend the Osaka History Museum, across the street from the castle. Lots of signs in English. And the old Naniwa Imperial palace site, south of the castle. I also recommend the Open Air Museum of Old Japanese Farmhouses. They have a guide map in English and most of the people speak good English. Don't try to take the shortcut back to the station. The roads curve around a lot and I got really lost. I don't know if that train company is included in any rail pass, so you might need to buy a train ticket. But they're cheap.
don't bother about language barrier, as long as you're not trying to make conversation to random people on a streets, or go to really authentic local bars and restaurants, you'll have no trouble even without any English. But it's nice to understand a bit anyway. As one of my favorite cities I'll be visiting Osaka next week for a couple of days.
This is only the second video I'm watching on your channel and I'm already learning so much! The way you break down phrases and give everyday examples is very enlightening. Thank you! :)
I've only started watching your videos recently, as I've just recently finally taken the plunge into the nitty gritty of Japanese. Learning radicals and learning all sorts of different vocab words and Kanji, and your videos really help me cement my pronunciation, enunciation and all manner of things regarding certain phrases, words, verbs, etc. Even though I'm at a very good spot with sentence-endings, and particles in particular its always great to get that extra push on my brain, and your videos are just so serene, personal, and to the point, and you make everything feel fun and easy-going. Watching your videos, makes the challenge that is learning Japanese feel like a hobby or fun activity more than a chore or "just" learning. Thanks for all your effort, Misa!
Misa sensei! 😻😻 I am ready for the japanese lesson. Something I like about you is how you make comments to explain the culture to understand the lesson better, that makes it easy to memorize and understand it, and I like the culture. That's something that you don't have in the books!
Best Japanese teacher😍❤️ I love your lessons ❤️ you are amazing 😍💗 You are very clear. Explain everything very well! I'm Italian and now I'm studying Japanese and thanks to you I'm understanding a lot of things that are not written in grammar books. thanks a lot 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
I finished my N4 examination. Though I find this channel SUPER useful in summarising all key points (and also those sentences are great for mimicking / mirroring) みさ先生ありがとうございます！
I completely agree with all the positive feedback from the listeners.....Misa, the way you teach is super clear, innovative and simply just the very best what I have watched before ...thanks a lot. Are you Canadian? I am.
I started Japanese school 日本で but I'm watching these videos with renewed understanding that was lacking from school! Bless you for sharing knowledge here! I feel more confident hearing the reasons and situations for the 文法structure Genuinely excited to use these lessons
I never thought I'd say this but regarding "ne" the Czech language uses it, the way you described it here, too. Although it originally means "NO" people use it to make others reassure them of what they have stated. What a coincidence :D
So excited for the part 2, this stuff has puzzled me for quite some time, I was hoping you’d make a video! I’ve never understood Japanese more than when you teach it.
*Taking notes* "If I told you guys that I'm 50" *head pops up in shock* "which is not true..." I was about to say! I was thinking, "What?! FIFTY!! You still look like you're 24, 25!" 😂😂
Honest to god, you are the best Japanese teacher I've ever had. The way you give insights into the deeper meaning of the grammar is very very helpful. Thank you.
You being so good at English is really helpful. Some of these particles I have known for years, but never truly understood them because they were never explained well by any source I found.
Algo parecid, né? People are trying to figure out if Japanese speakers picked it up from Portuguese traders (during the Japanese period of isolation). I for one think so.
most studies says there's no relation between both "ne" and the interaction japan-portugal. As today, most agreed that is just coincidence. and yeah, around 1.6 million of people in brazil, making it the largest foreign community. most of then find in the southeast region of brazil (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro...). Places like the south is kind hard to find any japanese descedant, tho
I always thought that a lot of words, specially foreign words, came from portuguese. Like, Oranda to Netherlands, Holanda, or Itaria to Italy, Italia. Feels like they use some portuguese words instead of the english ones sometimes
I love her way of explaining the topics. It gives you the opportunity to see something from different perspectives and you get to fully understand. The elements, the context, the tone... She covers everything. One of my favorite channels for sure!!
I feel that transcripts for these lessons would be very helpful. It is inevitable that we will forget some rules from time to time, and a transcript would make it much easier to find what we need when going back for a refresher. Even with the videos that are entirely in Japanese, a transcript would be useful for reading practice as well. Like this comment if you agree and hopefully it can be seen by Misa!
You can also pause the video all the times you need to and write what you want. It's slower but it would be much much better for language acquisition than just a transcript.
i am glad i saw this video. i am one of those that uses "yo" alot. thank you for taking time to create these lessons. i like how you give alot of examples using realistic sentences. as someone who is learning, i find your explanations very easy to understand. i'll subscribe and support you on patreon. keep the youtube lessons coming please :)
I try not to rely on anime to help me speak Japanese. But listening to this Sensei, I compare all the lil words and sounds in anime and she's making so much sense! I was always confused by "uhn" "kudasai" and "ne" the characters would say. It always sounds like the character is saying the same thing over and over but those words actually have meaning. LOL I can't wait to visit Japan.
i have tried to watch other japanese grammar videos and i didnt understand any of them, but watching your videos is a COMPLETLY different story. i understand it a lot better in a way that i can understand! ありがとうございます！
Mitchell Crawford It's so weird, I never noticed until she said "crisps" and then I was like: "now wait just a minute... she must have learned British English" and after that I couldn't un-hear it.
@TheOneTold I'd say it depends on where you came from. For example, here in America (the whole continent) I do think we try to emulate more the U.S accent, while people on Europe or Asia might try to sound more british (? I'm sorry if this doesn't make any sense uh, I just think it's a possibility ^^;
Currently studying Japanese from various sources, I like the general examples given here. I usually study by taking notes from another source and come here to sum everything up. It helps me greatly. Thank you.
Omg I just discovered your channel today and I am sooo thankful. Your videos help me so much to improve my japanese! I know I am gonna bingewatch all your videos until december before I am going to Japan😂
Thank you so much ミサ先生・Your teaching is very helpful 😊😊😭 I was looking for the best sensei in RUclips to make me more understand in Nihonggo and I have found you 😆 Please do not stop making such helpful and interesting video. 本当にありがとうございました！💙💙
20:13 This part is SUPER IMPORTANT for Japanese language learners. Most people tend to use 〜よ without knowing this and that could make the listener feel annoyed/awkward. ここまで細かく説明してくれてる動画ほとんどないからいつも助かる。よく外国人に説明する時にこのチャンネルを教えてるよ。ありがと。
Hi, Misa, is んだよね somewhat equivalent to the English phrase "by the way"? As an example: "That popcorn in that place tastes good, by the way", as if to say "this isn't relevant to my point, but it's potentially interesting anyway so I thought I'd mention it before I forget."
Misa its been 2 days when I found out ur channel, all of my questions were here and finally someone is really elaborate and clear! Love it thumbs up wish I can meet you in person 💓
@@WaltRBuck My Academic English teacher in university was a British guy and he was talking like a member of royality; thus, I tought every british person speaks like him.
Your videos are so helpful! I'm currently relearning the Japanese I learnt at school a few years ago, because in September I'll be doing a year-long exchange at a university in Tokyo. This really helps me become more aware of what the true native Japanese language is like, instead of the formal textbook Japanese that I'm studying at the moment. Your examples are really useful and easy to apply to my daily life ^_^ Thank you, you're a great teacher!
You provide another exhaustive lesson. And I appreciate that you point put the social linguistic traps just waiting for foreigners trying to learn Japanese. It is so easy to give offense when none was intended. So thank you for the great teaching.
I have been studying japanese for 7 years now, and even so this video has been so useful for things that I thought I already knew. Thank you so much Misa san!
This is the first video of your channel I watch but you explain things really well!! I can understand the nuances and how to use these particles thanks to your examples! Subscribed :)
i'm really glad you explained the yo thing, dang. the resource i'd learned it from translated it as "you know", so "i like pikachu, you know" kinda sounds in english like you'd just be reinforcing your love for pikachu. i probably wouldve ended up being one of those learners that use it too much;;;
Watching videos like this remind me of that old rule... you spend years in classroom learning a language, then you go to the countries and meet native speakers and learn to actually speak and use it. :-)
@@sand0decker Linguistic phenomenon! It's actually been studied, and in a society like Japan where traditional gender roles are still quite rigid, men and women tend to try to be as different from each other as possible. One way of doing that is for the women to speak in a really high-pitched voice, to differentiate herself more from her male counterparts. That's why when she speaks English, her voice may tend to be lower, because English-speaking society may not have that same nuance in pitch of voice. Also I feel like in Western societies that speak English, a high-pitched voice can actually be considered annoying, and so high-pitched voices are often avoided
Lol so true. When I speak Japanese (even to just myself, when practicing) I find myself speaking at a higher octave than English or my native language. I tried speaking Japanese in my usual octave... I was weirded out by how I sound and I’m probably better off using masculine words and stuff... but then I was also weirded out by that because I started feeling like trying hard to be lesbian! xD
@@catw I've been informed by a Japanese language instructor (who grew up there) that men should learn from men, and women from women. Otherwise, it's a huge "tell" and you will never sound quite right.
Alright. After my last university exam ever on this friday, I have 2 months to focus on japanese before I move there. I am going to binge watch all of your videos. This was so informative and well structured, I am impressed. :D
Loving these videos on the details that people generally seem to overlook! While on the topic of ending sentences, could you also do a video on だろう and でしょ/う in informal, formal and business contexts? That would be so helpful
I really love your videos it helps me a lot when you put the hiragana above the kanji because i haven't learned kanji yet Thank you for these amazing lessons! :))
I heard that it was not a good idea to use qtips to clean your ears, because of the risk of bursting an eardrum, because it isn't as far down as must people think.

Trivia: In Portuguese we got "né?" which is short for "não é?" (Isn't it?) and it is used pretty much the same way as ね at the end of sentences when you expect someone else to agree.
We have the same in Afrikaans, a "ne" sentence ending particle that asks for agreement :)
Pretty cool how widespread it is - I assume it might be a part of other Germanic languages too.
I wonder if the Portuguese variation is a recent addition to the language. It would be interesting if it was in Latin languages as well, would make me wonder if it comes from even before proto-indo-european languages.
@@BothHands1 I don't know if it is really related (probably not), but in Latin you add -ne to the verb to make the sentence a yes or no question. But the verb is typically at the beginning of the sentence in such questions. E. g.: "Vis ire domum" = "You want to go home." to "Visne ire domum?" = "Do you want to go home?"
Interesting! In Filipino we say “‘no?” short for “ano?” which means “what” in English. (What do you think?) or (Right?) or (isn’t it?)
Seems like "ne" is pretty much an international phenomenon.
In german, "ne?" (actually "nä?", but its spoken the same way) is the short informal form of "nicht wahr?", which basically means "isn't it?"
This is very convenient :)))
There are mysterious resemblances between Japanese language and Portuguese language. One I know of is «arigatou» and «obrigado».

I always thought that a lot of words, specially foreign words, came from portuguese. Like, Oranda to Netherlands, Holanda, or Itaria to Italy, Italia. Feels like they use some portuguese words instead of the english ones sometimes
I love her way of explaining the topics. It gives you the opportunity to see something from different perspectives and you get to fully understand. The elements, the context, the tone... She covers everything. One of my favorite channels for sure!!
I feel that transcripts for these lessons would be very helpful. It is inevitable that we will forget some rules from time to time, and a transcript would make it much easier to find what we need when going back for a refresher. Even with the videos that are entirely in Japanese, a transcript would be useful for reading practice as well. Like this comment if you agree and hopefully it can be seen by Misa!
You can also pause the video all the times you need to and write what you want. It's slower but it would be much much better for language acquisition than just a transcript.
RUclips has a transcript feature. It's right next to the save button on the desktop website.
i am glad i saw this video. i am one of those that uses "yo" alot. thank you for taking time to create these lessons. i like how you give alot of examples using realistic sentences. as someone who is learning, i find your explanations very easy to understand. i'll subscribe and support you on patreon. keep the youtube lessons coming please :)
I try not to rely on anime to help me speak Japanese. But listening to this Sensei, I compare all the lil words and sounds in anime and she's making so much sense! I was always confused by "uhn" "kudasai" and "ne" the characters would say. It always sounds like the character is saying the same thing over and over but those words actually have meaning. LOL I can't wait to visit Japan.
i have tried to watch other japanese grammar videos and i didnt understand any of them, but watching your videos is a COMPLETLY different story. i understand it a lot better in a way that i can understand! ありがとうございます！
Its fascinating how you have two accents.
Mitchell Crawford It's so weird, I never noticed until she said "crisps" and then I was like: "now wait just a minute... she must have learned British English" and after that I couldn't un-hear it.
FalconFlurry Sounds more like Australian to me! It’s cute.
@@kbs1212 it's def not aussie soz
You say that as if British English was an exception, when it's actually what most language learners around the world try to emulate.
@TheOneTold I'd say it depends on where you came from. For example, here in America (the whole continent) I do think we try to emulate more the U.S accent, while people on Europe or Asia might try to sound more british (?
I'm sorry if this doesn't make any sense uh, I just think it's a possibility ^^;
Hi, Misa. You're the only Japanese teacher on RUclips I fully understand. You're legit. You've just got yourself a new subscriber.
Ne always reminds me of eh? It's cute eh? ...yes I'm Canadian
I've always thought that as well. あついね it's hot eh?
This is so true... it is also something that just comes out so naturally like wanting the other person to agree with you ~kind of feeling~
hahahaha
You are 100% Correct. It's absolutely identical in it's usage. Awesome correlation, Derek!
Never thought of it like that! It kinda is cuz the sentence already makes sense with or without it
Currently studying Japanese from various sources, I like the general examples given here. I usually study by taking notes from another source and come here to sum everything up. It helps me greatly. Thank you.
Beautifully explained. Best from Toronto :)
THANK YOU for the ''yo'' part, I knew it kind sound rude so I didn't use it at all because I was afraid XDDDD
Omg I just discovered your channel today and I am sooo thankful. Your videos help me so much to improve my japanese! I know I am gonna bingewatch all your videos until december before I am going to Japan😂
Here in Brazil we use "ne" in the same way as you guys, but not as much as you. I really like your lessons, thanks!
I'm so glad I found your channel! Your videos are very helpful! Thank you :)
Thank you so much ミサ先生・Your teaching is very helpful 😊😊😭 I was looking for the best sensei in RUclips to make me more understand in Nihonggo and I have found you 😆 Please do not stop making such helpful and interesting video.
本当にありがとうございました！💙💙
dude whys that in past tense. did something happen
The most amazing Japanese Teacher on RUclips. Beauty and Brains!!
20:13 This part is SUPER IMPORTANT for Japanese language learners.
Most people tend to use 〜よ without knowing this and that could make the listener feel annoyed/awkward.
ここまで細かく説明してくれてる動画ほとんどないからいつも助かる。よく外国人に説明する時にこのチャンネルを教えてるよ。ありがと。
"Hey you guys don't know but Canada is bigger than Japan"
Ahahah :)
You're such a good teacher and so good at coming up with English analogues! Thank you!
Hi, Misa, is んだよね somewhat equivalent to the English phrase "by the way"? As an example: "That popcorn in that place tastes good, by the way", as if to say "this isn't relevant to my point, but it's potentially interesting anyway so I thought I'd mention it before I forget."
no
Misa its been 2 days when I found out ur channel, all of my questions were here and finally someone is really elaborate and clear! Love it thumbs up wish I can meet you in person 💓
1:27 sure, but I'm Canadian and us ending our sentences with "eh" is basically directly translated to "ne" lol.
Great video as always. Finally a decent explanation of っけ I've asked a lot of people who ended up just kind of scratching their heads and saying 難しい
It is interesting that we use the phrase "ne" in Germany as well as in Japanese. However, it is rather colloquial in German.
; ; you are such a great teacher! I was searching for this because I tend to use よ a lot...of course after watching your video I won't! ありがとうございます！ ♡
In British slang they say 'innit?' ('isn't it?') all the time. :D
Us country folk tend to use "eh" ;)
@@Tehinstrumentalist and does every Canadian ever.
Does British have a slang? 0-0
@@abdulhakimpoyraz7098 EVERY language has slang. Lol
@@WaltRBuck My Academic English teacher in university was a British guy and he was talking like a member of royality; thus, I tought every british person speaks like him.
Your videos are so helpful! I'm currently relearning the Japanese I learnt at school a few years ago, because in September I'll be doing a year-long exchange at a university in Tokyo. This really helps me become more aware of what the true native Japanese language is like, instead of the formal textbook Japanese that I'm studying at the moment. Your examples are really useful and easy to apply to my daily life ^_^ Thank you, you're a great teacher!
Can you use すみません as “excuse me” to ask someone something in public?
はい。Yes, you can.
(Actually, if you want to be polite; that's kinda obligatory.)
You provide another exhaustive lesson. And I appreciate that you point put the social linguistic traps just waiting for foreigners trying to learn Japanese. It is so easy to give offense when none was intended. So thank you for the great teaching.
It must be funny to tell a bunny to hurry up: 兔急ぎ XD
I have been studying japanese for 7 years now, and even so this video has been so useful for things that I thought I already knew. Thank you so much Misa san!
このビデオくれてありがとう！
Best japanese teacher on youtube, hands down.
いつも通りとても役に立った動画でした。次に「でしょう/だろう」についての動画を作ってもらえますか
This is the first video of your channel I watch but you explain things really well!! I can understand the nuances and how to use these particles thanks to your examples! Subscribed :)
I really love the longer videos
i'm really glad you explained the yo thing, dang. the resource i'd learned it from translated it as "you know", so "i like pikachu, you know" kinda sounds in english like you'd just be reinforcing your love for pikachu. i probably wouldve ended up being one of those learners that use it too much;;;
I hope I will live to a day when I can use all of these particles with different meanings properly :"3
Can you, now 😁
your lessons with the kanji and kana blended in are superb! Very helpful. Doomo arigatoo gozaimashita!
Did she ever make that んだ/の/な/さ video? I can't seem to find it
I'm from the future and yeah I can't find it either..
Subscribed. Good teacher with in-depth explanation. You're really know how to deliver the grammar lesson.
In part of Slovakia where i live, we say and use "ne" just as it's used in Japanese :D
Watching videos like this remind me of that old rule... you spend years in classroom learning a language, then you go to the countries and meet native speakers and learn to actually speak and use it. :-)
Can you explain the ending particle wa? I think it's kind of a girlier version of yo?
I think it's the girly version of ぜ or ぞ.
I base that assumption on a certain anime.
Half an hour of your video give me more proficiency on 日本语 then anything else. You got a new subscriber!
ね is like the Portuguese "né" (não + é).
"Atsui ne?" is exactly the same as "Tá calor, né?"
The amount of effort and in-depth detail in this video is very appreciated! thank you :)
I cannot raise the pitch of my voice an octave, nor make it that nasal. We Americans must sound like we're speaking Japanese through a bull horn!
I find it interesting how her voice is slightly deeper when she speaks English
@@sand0decker Linguistic phenomenon! It's actually been studied, and in a society like Japan where traditional gender roles are still quite rigid, men and women tend to try to be as different from each other as possible. One way of doing that is for the women to speak in a really high-pitched voice, to differentiate herself more from her male counterparts. That's why when she speaks English, her voice may tend to be lower, because English-speaking society may not have that same nuance in pitch of voice. Also I feel like in Western societies that speak English, a high-pitched voice can actually be considered annoying, and so high-pitched voices are often avoided
Lol so true. When I speak Japanese (even to just myself, when practicing) I find myself speaking at a higher octave than English or my native language.
I tried speaking Japanese in my usual octave... I was weirded out by how I sound and I’m probably better off using masculine words and stuff... but then I was also weirded out by that because I started feeling like trying hard to be lesbian! xD
@@catw I've been informed by a Japanese language instructor (who grew up there) that men should learn from men, and women from women. Otherwise, it's a huge "tell" and you will never sound quite right.
@@VideoNOLA that makes sense! Language mannerisms and habits, often so subtle that you may not notice unless told, can tell a lot about a person.
Alright. After my last university exam ever on this friday, I have 2 months to focus on japanese before I move there. I am going to binge watch all of your videos. This was so informative and well structured, I am impressed. :D
This is just what I want to learn, thank you Misa.
ありがとうございます、助かりました。
OMG I've been looking for a video on this for so long! THANK YOU!

You make the most informative and helpful videos ever! Keep up the good work! Trust me, you're a HUGE help!!!
Loving these videos on the details that people generally seem to overlook! While on the topic of ending sentences, could you also do a video on だろう and でしょ/う in informal, formal and business contexts? That would be so helpful
I really love your videos it helps me a lot when you put the hiragana above the kanji because i haven't learned kanji yet Thank you for these amazing lessons! :))
Notification squad here. 😊
I appreciate you! These videos are so helpful seeing the sentence and the highlighting along with the examples.
I heard that it was not a good idea to use qtips to clean your ears, because of the risk of bursting an eardrum, because it isn't as far down as must people think.
I love all the revision and extra information which you include. Another brilliant lesson!
