Power up your Japanese on FromZero.com (lessons, quizzes, games, ask-a-teacher)

Lol 2020, trying to learn Japanese in quarantine. I laughed when he said he was glad Donald wasn’t elected. 😂 12:00

I love this guy, not only he's humorous and instructive but gives a lot of information I never knew, please keep making more videos.

87.5% of wild encounter Eevees are male, so if you got yourself a female you are pretty lucky.

I can't believe it. Learning how to count in japanese It's easy.

I was also born in 1972, and I'm watching this for the first time at 51 years old. I love learning languages and these videos are great with the book!

Not sure if someone has said this, but a good way to practice is to go to an online random number generator, you can type in your limits (I'm sticking to to 1- 9999 for now!) and just try and call out the numbers it gives you. I can never learn stuff from just reading it, so this was quite helpful. (Love these vid's George!)

I thought 12:05 was a joke.. Turns out this video was posted before the election ended.. ahhh man

o my god. this is literally the best Japanese tutorial on youtube. I actually feel like I'm making a crap load of progress. so thank you so much for these videos!

12:05 "2016, the year we almost elected Trump"... ha...haha...ha

as a non native speaker i use this videos to improve my english and my japanese skills .... like a double win

In Spanish class long time ago it took me forever just to count to 50 but it only took me 2 day to learn to count to 9999. Lol

Its over kyuu sen

George, I choked the first time I saw the counting lesson in JFZ Book 1 (Which I just started). "This is too much for my brain!" I thought. I have watched all of your new videos on counting, and guess what? This is pretty easy! I am now counting in Japanese, and It't pretty fun! Thank You!

The word is colonise! You're welcome.

I cried when george ruined my perfect pop quiz streak by showing the answer too fast

Your videos are fantastic. It is really helping to make the book learning stick when I can watch your videos that go along with the lessons. Thanks for putting so much extra effort in.

You managed to make learning over summer fun and something I am willing/ wanting to do.

I Love your videos! Thank you so much! I got a dwi a year ago and had to take a year off from college because I can't drive to get there. I've been really bummed about it because I wanted to take a nihongo class! I started self teaching with the Genki vol2 textbook and various manga and children's short stories. But after finding your videos I literally feel like I'm inside a classroom! You do not in anyway make me feel like I'm sitting at home & to top it all off, i'm retaining all the information! Thank You!!

i am loving the way he is giving extra bit of information

love that you include pop quizzes!! so helpful to test knowledge

I'm learning the numbers so easily with your videos! Thank you :).

You videos are really great! I thank you very much for all the time and effort you put into it.

me,my 10 and 4 year old nieces are really enjoying your book 1 and your videos. We're all made up knowing vowels and to be able to count to 9999. Really enjoying learning from you

I just love this videos, they are so fun to learn!!!! ❤️

Thanks to your amazing instruction I was able to get them all correct the first time! Yes my recall of the names for some numbers was a bit slow at first but I already saw myself getting faster with the names as the video went on. THANK YOU again!

Going back to watch these to refresh my Japanese (I watched this video around the time it was uploaded originally) and the election part really hit me in the feels.

fun fact: hassen (八千) means to hate in german

i love watching these videos, while being very informative its also just funny to hear the little quips.

It definitely completes book 1 lessons while reminding me what i studied and forgot.

I wasn't expecting for the numbers to change that much, wow, that's gonna be tough!

I bought the book and whilst it was a great investment, I'm finding the videos at this current time more useful. I'm going to watch the videos, then use the books in future for referencing and also to do the activities! Catching on quickly though, it's quite exciting to say I can now count to 9999 in Japanese

you are brilliant specially when you show same expression like me when new quiz number appeard on screen . although u know all these numbers ... great teaching skills . thanxx

Saying those numbers with the same digits are so fun to say! 😊 Especially 9999!

Good vids dude. You are the man. I really like the way you teach.

For those who are interested, basically in the electoral college you need 270 votes to win. There's a total of 538 possible votes. 538 comes from the total number of senators and representatives in congress. Every state has at least 3 electors (2 senators and at least 1 rep). You actually vote for the electors who then vote for the president. They generally will vote for the person they were pledged to but are allowed to change theirs votes except in 26 states +DC where electors are bound. The electoral college was created as a safety net to prevent the common people from picking a bad president. The 270 comment kind of woke up the AP Government kid in me.

This is really Helpful, thanks a lot

Dear Georgu - I just bought your book Hiragana from Zero -- thank you for what you do

What I love is the book and exercises are in the same book and i have a video series to help me understand it's hard to misunderstand with so much help and reinforcement

Holy s i love you you’re one of my favourite teachers for sure

Thanks for the free videos.

Great videos, thank you so much

I just had 2016 election meltdowns flash before my eyes. I'll never forget their reactions. Best shit on the planet.

I love your video, especially because you're so funny i laugh every minute :D

WHOSE HERE 2022 . I’m picking up this language for a Tokyo trip and loving this content so far.

This is sooo great!!

百 was bek in middle Chinese. It is a regular sound shift in Japanese to shift the initial b to h. The original B pops out here and there. 日本 Nihon vs. Nippon. This occurs most often when the word is preceeded by an "entering tone" 入聲, the characters ending in p t or k in Chinese. Usually entering tones are either split into 2 syllables in Japanese (k became ku, like 六 liuk, ryoku, t became chi, 八 bat hachi, p became u, 十 zip > juu , or dropped. In 六百 ryuk bek , the k got assimilated by the initial b and got preserved.

thanks for your vids, it's easier for me to count in japanese now. ☺ nice vidz ☺😊

Your videos are so fun for some reason

Thank you , very useful

pretty good lesson overall the only problem I had was the talking when I was trying to remember the pronunciation in the pop quiz other than that very well done

I've bought the second edition of the first JFZ book 6 in a half years ago to learn japanese, but I didnt speak,write or read english AT ALL at that time (I am French from CANADA Québec). I told my self that maybe I should learn english first if I would like to move forward. 2 years after I learned english and after few more years which is today Ive decide to finally stop behind lazy and use the book I bought. So far so good I learned 1 to 9999 which I tought i would be impossible In that short amount of time! Learning with your book and the video is amazing and way easier than I expected!

10:06 You know what, "kusen" in Finnish would mean "I'm peeing" with a slightly vulgar nuance.

I love your lessons

U make japanese so easy thanks 😀😀😀😀

something that helps me learn numbers in japanese is just playing puyo puyo fever in Japanese! you hear it repeat and it helps you learn much quicker!

Everything is better with a "juu" at the end. I feel so guilty saying that.

George: "2975 is the year we will populate the planet Pluto." Gus: "You hear about Pluto? That's messed up, right?" 🍍

I swear this guy is the best language teacher I've ever seen/had in my whole life サンキﾕ

Thank you very much!

12:05 ..... *’curb your’ theme starts playing*

I mean, we would have to terraform before colonisation so it depends when we would terraform and when we would colonise as to which was correct.

Unity Game Development for the win! I love your library!

Watching this in 2020: There are 720 Pokemon. Oh sweet summer child....

WE ARE THE KNIGHTS WHO SAY "TWO"!!!

I fell in love with japanese at 1

I just git to 12:05 and immediately stopped and scrolled down to see all the comments about 45

Man watching those videos with English subtitles is really funny😂😂😂

When you watch to much anime that ur hyaku’s sound like haikyuu’s..

It's so easy to watch because you're a funny guy

thanks broo

Thank you very much! I love your videos ,really Even though I can count the numbers, I still feel something strange. like when I say a number eg (二百四) , loudly , I can't recall in my brain the number 204 my brain only receives this ( ni hyaku yon ) How I can get used to it? also, when I hear it from someone else, like on KZfaq or Tv it gets harder for my ears to pick up the number or even recall its numerical equivalent.

Lesson watched on Match 23rd, 2022!

Awesome person

I love this series George. Numbers are way more fun to say in Japanese. I love their logic with counting numbers. I remember when I first started Japanese, I already knew how to say from 1-1000. Can't stand the way we count numbers in English, By the way, 720 Pokemon is the current amount of Pokemon, but with the new Pokemon Sun and Moon game coming out, there will be more than 720 Pokemon. At the moment it's 720 but there's going to be more Pokemon. Funny that you mentioned 999 with England's Emergency Number, they mentioned it recently in a Pokemon Go incident with some people in England who got lost in some cave.

I don't think shichi and shi are as commonly used as nana and yon, therefore it shouldn't be considered to use it when speaking, but it should be learnt for the sake of understanding should someone else say it.

thank you sir. :D tomorrow is our exam in Japanese number :D

practicing using google random number generator, copy/paste into google translate and seeing if the way I say the japanese number is the same as the translator audio.

thank you)))

This presenter is entertaining and interesting. He presents a parallel learning world to Jack Black’s School of Rock.

"I want to end things in '2' today" *ends video at 02 seconds like nothin' matters*

This is rlyyyy fun

George, love your vids, man. Just a suggestion as a teacher...it was hard for me to figure out how to say the number while you were talking about Eevee, countries and Trump. The topics were fun, but very distracting. I actually had to pause the video in order for me to get some thinking time. Thanks man, your vids are great anyway.

Thank you for these videos, I don't even use your web nor books, I've already purchased Genki 1&2 but man they are helpful. Maybe it's slightly in a different order but it's the same in the end and having a second perspective and someone who explains it is much easier. (Self learning at home)

You lucky bastard grew up in japan i am sooo jealous

When the numbers begins like 123,35,000 its become difficult to say will you please help me out.. Yours explanations of such things are just wow . Thankyou for making such helpful videos

Also born in 1972! Thanks for the videos.
