[rbmaserang]

i am half Japanese and you need to work on your accent especially on the r 's. I don't think he is really teaching these languages its more like he is just repeating the definitions because he doesn't even know proper enunciation of these languages.

[lifeiteng1]

the 'r' sound really isn't the 'r' in english..not as in 'r'at

more like a 'l' sound in fact.

[juliettakkk]

OMG@_@! What's your native language? Teaching French and Japanese in English!!

[arta3vur]

thx alot!

[iiFlii]

this helped out..im learning basic japanese but i always get the pronounciation wrong xD..this will help alot when im in japan this summer.. thnx!

[ducastel19]

people dont really say watashi wa when introduscing themselves, i mean..their talking ABOUT them selves so its sort of a given. and if your talking to someone, yo dont say anata alot eigther

[MrCoolKid2]

awesme!

[xXxRainsuraxXx]

My friend told me that another proper way to say your name would be Watashi wa no namae wa your name Desu. Is that more like a formal way?

[crouchtig]

Like in English there are loads of ways you could phrase it. In English we can say "I'm..." "My name is..." "I'm called..." etc. I think since 'watashi' and 'desu' are use in both they would both be considered quite formal. Hope that answers your question!

[Ch1mp90]

So sorry for down-thumbing you crouchtig !! ;x Gomen ne.. ;x wanted to answer and i overshot ;x..

also, for future comment readers (Rainsura prob'ly knows this already by now) -> when using 'no' as a possesion particle, you don't use the 'wa' particle :) just say

Watashi no namae wa [name] desu.. also, you can equally well say

[name] da. :] but it's a BIT impolite ;p

[tommiisan]

I'm barely even beginner in Japanese language and I even get annoyed when people say "konnichiwa" just to say 'hi', 'what's up', or just as a random greeting. lol.

[MoiChocolade]

[wackboy95]

I have 3 questions for you: What's your nationnality?

How old are you ?

How many languages do you FULLY know? Thank You!

[cerisettedesbois]

i don't understand some things: first i have a japanese friend and he told me that good afternoon is konbanwa and not good evening, and that it's not arigato but aligato. strange..

[twinswordsoffire]

I guess it's different dialects. Some Japanese books teach you konbanwa=good afternoon while others say konbanwa=good evening.

[smilernats]

and also in japanese when you 'say' arigato, you 'spell' aligato. the 'Rs' in japanese are spelt with 'Ls' :P

[LuTeKiLa]

Actually, they write the Japanese language with th Hepburn system, which basically uses a kinda Italian pronounciation, so that when you see "arigato" you have to pronounce the "r" halfway through an Italian "r" and a "l". So they say.

Actually almost averytime you say something that's spelled with an "r" like "dôzo yoroshiku" you'll say "dôzo yoloshiku".

[bubblesfantasy]

There are no "L"'s in the Japanese hirigana, at least not from what I've learned (which is almost all of the hirigana), but there may be L's in katakana or kanji...I know there's F's in kanji but not is hirigana, so it may be possible.

[Ziferal]

Hey you shoulda added "Oyasuminasai" (think thats how u spell it) and to anyone reading this comment and don't know it means "Good Night". BTW I'm an American learning japanese at the moment just thought I should add that.

[Deathlycream]

good video, what is the music used in background?

[twinswordsoffire]

The song is "Hey My Friend" by Japanese singer Tommy Heavenly6.

[Deathlycream]

thank you, and sorry for the question because I didn't noticed that you wrote it at the end of the video. With all my respect.

[Croatian2012]

from where are you,where did you born???

[twinswordsoffire]

I was born in the beautiful city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and I currently live in the United States.

[EternalDamnation004]
