I started learning Japanese in my 20s and lived in Japan for 5 years. I passed the JLPT1 and eventually started working as an interpreter. I've been using Japanese in my work for the last 20 years. I have to tell you, this is some of the best content I've seen. These are great pointers and tips which took me years and years to learn. Fantastic job on the videos, you are a great teacher! One thing to point out, we don't say "disrespectable" but instead "disrespectful". We do use "respectable" however in addition to "respectful" for different applications. Just another English quirk 😊

I am so glad I found this channel. I have quite a unique situation in that I am half Japanese, brought up in the west, and sadly not raised bilingual since my Dad doesn't speak Japanese. However, I've used simple conversational Japanese with my Mother in speaking and texting all my life, read Japanese children's books with her, and also studied Japanese on and off. So now that I am trying to study properly and formalise my knowledge it's difficult because there's a lot of rules, phrases, etc that I "just know" instinctively and can use in conversation, but couldn't explain the grammatical rules of. As a child I would say ”クモがいやだ!” or ”クモが怖い”. I kind of knew that ”クモ *は* 怖い” had a more 'objective' feeling (ie, Spiders *are* scary, not just scary to me), because if I said it like that my Mum would joke that they are only scary to me (and I would disagree lol). Until this video, I never thought about that and how it works. It seems obvious now. This channel is the most effective I have found for helping me bridge these weird gaps in my understanding, and link things together building from things I know to explain things I don't know. Your approach is so effective at getting right to the 'feeling' and instinctive understanding that is so important to truly master a language - the whole "think in Japanese rather than trying to translate something in English" concept. かなめさん、本当にありがとうございます! これからも動画を楽しみにしています。

I love these videos, as somebody just starting to learn Japanese it’s great to see all the places that I’m being taught things that aren’t quite right. It’s worth noting though that the enhanced form of scared is terrified. Horrified has a connotation of strong horror/gore being involved or revulsion where terrified is just being very scared. I’d be horrified by a terrorist attack but I might be terrified of terrorists attacking conceptually.
@MoPaTography Жыл бұрын
My favourite thing is how Kaname-san explains the Japanese rules and grammar in the context of how you'd use it in everyday, describing the feeling and thoughts that go behind each phrase. That's the key to understanding language, simply giving the English equivalent doesn't always help bridge the gap when learning a new language. Keep up the good work!

• Have/need to --> ( ~ない form minus the い) ければ (ならない/いけない) or ~なくては/なくちゃ ダメ/ならない/ いけない or Verbないと They all express the idea of "if ___ is not done, then that is no good." •Should have --> (eば verb form)よかった It translates to " It wouldve been good if i did ___" •I wish would be ~といいね or ~といいなぁ(when talking to yourself) they both express "i wish that.." or "i hope that.." you can also say ( た verb form + ら) いいのになあ or just leave it as ~たらなぁ This has a stronger sense of wishing or desiring something, kinda like saying "if only...."

It’s so interesting how differently a language can be taught. For example in the sentence, 娘が心配です, kaname descibes 心配 as an English adjective. But I know dolly would say 心配 is a noun because it’s a する Chinese loan word… which explains why です is at the end, not い. So instead of, I’m worried about my daughter, it’s: (my) daughter is worry-able/ my daughter is worry-inducing. …or something like that. I’m not sure who is more “accurate”, the native English speaker translating into Japanese, or the native Japanese speaker translating into English. My personal conclusion is that dollys teachings make more sense structurally and grammatically overall, while native Japanese speakers insights into their language, (the feelings involved in certain words and their personal interpretations) are invaluable. This works best for me, otherwise these contrary teachings would destroy my understanding 😂
