Japanese Lesson One pt.1

[MichArtx3]

My dads name is janne... lol

[therestimenow]

Id Hit That!

[VietTHFan4life]

Your pronunciation is really good!! :)

[MrAki3461]

You are not a idiot, don't listen to WizzMadia. Really I think you r smart. I like to talk to u but don't know how you take it very well. You can help me? I tell u in your inbox. Matane

[jaraha]

I'm a very beginner too!

[Diomonds4]

..you need to pull up your shirt a bit....and were you sick?

Anyway, thanks for the lesson...i actually only know how to say hello and my name is Dawn.. xD

[Trixiaoyu]

Your lessons are good, you're correct, but you need to work a little more on your accent training. ;-) 頑張れ!

[bnew241]

you got a pretty mouth

[WhizzMedia]

@xoomoxify emmm 2 years of studying Japanese . That's how much

[Trixiaoyu]

@WhizzMedia 2年ぐらいですか? 本当ですか? ならば,なぜ君は日本語で書きませんか?

[genuinebbuck]

sayounara is only if it's for a week or more.

[orochiThing]

@genuinebbuck saiyara* it means farewell.

[Trixiaoyu]

@orochiThing - Actually it's 左様なら. You better learn Kanji fast. ;-) SA-YO-U-NA-RA!

[orochiThing]

@Trixiaoyu You dont need that extra u. And yes, i havent learned my kanji yet.

sayōnara (meriam webster)

[Trixiaoyu]

@orochiThing- Actually yes you do. say"ō"nara. Why do you think that 'o' has a line above it? 'ō' When romanized, that line above the 'o' represents 'ou', that line can also be above the 'u'. E.g.. chū -- That can also be romanized as 'chuu'! The same thing is in the word, 'daijōbu'. It can also be written as 'daijoubu'. Wherever you see that little line on top, there is an extra 'u'. You see, this is why I hate romaji... the romanizations are confusing; just learn Kanji. Lol!

[NoCripNoBlood]

its called rosetta stone



[orochiThing]

gon ban wa* jya matta

[genuinebbuck]

@orochiThing konbanwa and jamatta

[orochiThing]

@genuinebbuck my good evening was wrong but not see you later. Jya matta could be placed in two words. Jya can also mean than and matta good bye, so it would be than, good bye. You can also use mattane.

[RisingSun011]

konnichiwa doesnt mean hello literally and we dont say konnichiwa these days. we say ossu

[orochiThing]

@RisingSun011 konichiwa is more formal, you don't go up to your boss and say osu!

[Trixiaoyu]

@orochiThing - HAHAHA. Too much Anime, indeed. Who's the fool that said OSU! to their boss? HAHAHAHA! Next it will be DATTEBAYO!!! ROFL!

[Mrbubblegumful]

hey, just to let you know (not to be snobby) but good evening is konbanwa* not konbawa. there is the 'n' between ba & wa. ok byee :)

[nowgaku]

If you learn Japanese more, please take a look this website.

lip-sync.net

[nowgaku]

great.

[WhizzMedia]

your an idiot

[katexgg]

@WhizzMedia And you're a troll.

[XoomOxify]

@WhizzMedia Seems like she may be abit more intelligent than you are, how much Japanese do you know smart guy?

[SuperWilwal]

i like how the annotation is on her chest, probably there every guy look at first , just sayin :)

[xXPaytXx]

@trainquilnightmares you do know that Americans outnumber the English by a vast amount? English is no longer branded as the language of england, and is recognized in the world as the American language. Lol people haven't referred to English as Britains language since pre-WWI

[signupsigma]

what does kon mean in konnichiwa

[orochiThing]

@signupsigma its not kon-nichiwa, its ko-ni-chi-wa

[Trixiaoyu]

@orochiThing - Actually it's can be written in THREE ways: Konnichiwa; Konichiwa, Konichiha. Don't forget the reading shifts in Japanese. もと勉強しなさい.

[GodBlessYou2008]

@Trixiaoyu are you really a British?

[Trixiaoyu]

@GodBlessYou2008 いいえ、僕は英国人じゃありません。西アフリカ人です。今、英国­に住んでいます。I just said, "I am a West-African currently living in England." - I wonder if Japan likes black people learning their sacred language. Hmm... 人種差別はいらない。LOL!!

[viper8red]

Ohio Gozayie must!

[orochiThing]

@viper8red ohaiyogozaimasu

[Trixiaoyu]

@orochiThing - actually it's: ohayougozaimasu  「お早うございます」.

[Tehwehz]

[RosesGiveYouThorns22]

[dshen92129]

[katexgg]

[tranquilnightmares]

[dangersuck]

[apenkind5]

[MsBerryChan]

@WolfTailproductions Ohayo Gozaimasu ..

[c1l4c10n]

i only knew konichiwa or something lol

[D2burkhead]

Aploosh's channel has Japanese lessons of which teach kana , perfecting your knowlege of the hiragana will help people with their accent

[MadXOdin]

you have to say the words with the spanish accent you could say oddly you can say the words better if you manage both English and spanish.

[hermitcrabcare]

The Japanese take a lot of English words and therefore have a lot of cognates. For instance, baibai=byebye, testo=test, futtoboru=football, basukettoboru=basketball, keki=cake, etc.

[ACiDArTHuR]

kirigana in other words..

The words taken from other languages and used in Japanese.

[GhostDrow]

@ACiDArTHuR

Hiragana is the Japanese alphabet used for Japanese words (Same with Kanji)

Katakana is the Japanese alphabet used for 'western' words

You kind of spliced the two together, thought I would clarify for you <3

[JSauer89]

ching n chong and a whole lotta wong!

[Guybrush369]

[Nyko119]

ja, ja ne, mata ne.

[30Kitei07]

i like your way of teaching..i allready know this, but it was fun watching you and it is really important when you want to learn..jasut have fun and enjoy yourself right?! by the way gozaimasu means very much, or another which you have allready explained... GREAT JOB!

[Vikenoshi]

you know.

It's hard to learn both

East spelling and West spelling

You doing well. swetty,

nice lesson.

[hil6ry]

thank u :D ... u are good i like u ..

[Purple8Lemon]

is 'oyasumi' also good night?

and what exactly does the word after 'ohiyo' mean?

[orewakokun]

It's a common word you add after certain phrases to show respect.

Japanese is funny, because it's full of words that doesn't mean anything besides from showing respect.

As for 'oyasumi' you are correct. but if you're going to say it to someone you're unfamilliar with, or someone old, you should add -minasai. (as in oyasuminasai)

[m2j8]

good morning

[trickman8]

im japanese and your pronunciation is real good. keep it up!!!

[Zryan13]

Thanks for helping us.

I love 1:13 .. KOM BAN WAAAAAAAA hahah funny expression

[mybffalicia]

[katexgg]

Haha. Thanks. ^_^

[mybffalicia]

[katexgg]

Fucking chauvinistic pig.

[eastging929]

I m a Japanese language tutor.

I can tell your Japanese s pretty good.

[LeoLeishman]

Hi! Im Japanese! Your Japanese is very good!!

[Sektour13]

lady your hot. lol. but yea im learning jap rite now also, its so much fun.

[CRAZYM3X187]

i would have a really hard time learning japanese in front if you u look fine!!it's just a complement

[katexgg]

Thank you? xD

[katexgg]

Well, 1. because there is indeed a "fuck you" in Japanese (うぜーんだよ) and 2. because if you ask that question, doesn't that imply that you want to say it to me? Therefore, people who actually care about my sanity and reputation stick up for me in the only way possible on YouTube minus replying to you; giving you negative feedback. Does that answer your question well enough?

[BreezyBrisbane]

the F word does NOT exsist

in the language you Dumb Bimbo

[FanOfTokyo]

you really looks like britney spears ^^

[HappyPonyBoy]

Come to think of it, the English 'catch on', as whos language is it? And im not saying Americans copied us, im not, because technically, your ansestors are our ansestors for the majority of the white population, so my great-great-great-great-great-­great-great-great-great-great grandad could have easily been an Americans great-great-great-great-great-­great-great-great-great-great grandad.

Not having a go, just proving a point and got horribly carried away :]

[goddessmelania]

Thank you for your time and your videos.. your awesome.. much luv dear!! keep up the good work.

[katexgg]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. ^_^

[KonekoSmiles]

Your lessons are helpful, I'm beginning to learn Japanese, so um thanks =]

Hm... I think that my comment sounds awkward...and if it didn't, it does now...but oh well.

[katexgg]

Bahaha. It's alright. Doesn't sound awkward at all. But you're welcome and continue to watch. The just start to get weird.

[UntilDuskNumber9]

sugoi! Anata wa suki desu!

[katexgg]

ありがとうございました！

[llcoolj2]

how do you say fuck you in japanese, make another video and say it out loud

[faridjabba]

jajaj

[nibelungvalesty]

Your soooo mean and evil, thats why the world is crazy today, but let me tell you somethin buster. Theres a prophecy in the future that will put this follishness to an end and nobody cares how to curse in another language.

[chocomato567711]

saying "fuck you" in japanese is much more disrespectful than saying it in english.

The Japanese language is very respectful.

---Jessie.

[SilverGunZoO]

so jassie if i fuck you in english its more respectful than in japanese ? well i am looking forward to... fuck you !

[Ninjujitsu]

There isn't a "fuck you" in Japanese...

[sl9guitar]

haha anata yabai??

[nietsmmar2]

well, enough of this, back to my German lessons.. cute eyes btw.

[katexgg]

I have no idea if I should take the first part as "eh" or as an insult... but thank you for the eyes compliment.

[sras2000]

These guys insulting you are fucking retarded. I am open to learn japanese anyways, keep it up. Im half japanese.

[SilverGunZoO]

check this out you know gaigotsu ? its a cool word, you should make vids about some of these words : ringo = apple, yume = dream, dare= who, doko= were, demo, sorekara= after that, watashi= me, anata= you, etc :D to manny comes to my mind

[katexgg]

I do teach most of those words in later videos. Go watch 'em! ^_^ The only ones I don't think I covered were ringo, yume, and sorekara.

[SilverGunZoO]

oh, that's cool, I'll check it out !

[captain0104]

[ruvindap66]

So are you going to challenge emiry to a cage amtch or what?

[katexgg]

Maybe. It'd be an interesting fight, no doubt. We need an audience, though.

[FlanMan]

Fuckin' round eye always trying to steal other peoples cultures. Go watch some Lucky Star and be lonely.

[katexgg]

Wow. My ego is totally shot. I believe I'm going to have to go slit my wrists and black my eyes now.

[hirolovegood]

[katexgg]

Bah. Stfu. I was nervous! It's the first video I ever made. Stop.

[FabulousFabu]

[katexgg]

I did.

[laracroftroxmysox]

Poor thing! I'm teaching myself Japanese and it's the hardest thing; especially for a procrastinator such as myself. You're very pretty (even sick), by-the-way and for some reason I'm entertained by you so I'm gonna subscribe and check out your other lessons. :) Jya mata ne!

--Mizuki, 13

[branflakes0909]

[barcdl]

DO A FUCKING BARREL ROLL!!!!!11shift2

Don't have a keyboard. Just a laptop.

[barcdl]

[katexgg]

No thanks.

[metalicpheonix]

Kewl! Is it true that when you say hi on the cellphone they sometimes say "Moshi, moshi!"

[katexgg]

It's not even sometimes. It's almost all the times. I love it! But yes, they say "moshi moshi". I once learned what it used to mean. Something about checking to make sure the person was on the other end or something.

[jon20m]

[katexgg]

umm... thanks?

[ichigopeach]

im way past that

[katexgg]
