Japanese Lesson 21

[SuperNEKO64]

it's it better for sentence on 2:06 to be "Densha DE norimashou. soshite, uchi ni ikimashou"??

[Legionario21]

what book are you using to teach us??? sounds like it is sooooo thorough ^^ 0__o

[YunaLuthien]

I like your humor so much!!! :P

[catkac]

At 1:14, shouldn't it be ''Hako-wa ake-mashoo'' as you used it earlier in this video?

[ArturoStojanoff]

What about second person imperative??

[amjan]

Hats off to Mr. Kiyooka, this is book is the best book for learning Japanese in the world.

[123chocobo]

my name is Kai -_-

[SassiTheKitty]

been quoting "har har har" a lot now thanks to you ROFL

[tommarjuki]

hahaha "the incredible edible exercises"

[kalimantan10]

next chapter, please! all chapters!

[JapanForSale]

Oh god, your sense of humor is strangely magnetic. Even if you don't become an animator, you'd make an excellent tutor. Except noone will be able to learn anything, they'll be too busy laughing. In retrospect, that's a clever way to take people's money w/o teaching them anything. Hmmm...

Are you a native Japanese speaker? It sounds a lot like it to my untrained ears.

[GameShowGuy]

I found this helpful because it's unusual. It sticks in my brain better that way.

[dexxterh]

YOU ROCKS :D thank youu!

[blizzard126902]

so when you gonna make more videos?

cuz this is the newest 1 and its been up for 9 months

are you still making these videos?

cuz if your not you should start again your a rally good teacher and ive learned a lot from your videos

[takineko]

Yes I am. My stuff has been in storage for a long while now. We're appartment hunting so hopefully it shouldn't be much longer.

[blizzard126902]

ok kool thanks

because i have this book but when i tried to red it by myself i didnt get it at all

[skadama]

that is such good news! i had almost given up hope.

no doubt- valerie's lessons are pretty much the best that is available online.

happy apartment hunting!

[pelongomez]

I WANT MORE!!!

[takineko]

MORE YOU SHALL RECIEVE!

It's just taking forevers.. :C

[anigoko12]

domo arigatou! watashi daisuki kimi! or is it anata-wa daisuki???lol (i think i totally said that wrong oh, well) thank you very much for doing these vids! happy apartment hunting!! good luck.

[mountaingoat777]

from the begging of your lesson you've explain japanese grammar in such away that it become easy ton understand. What an encouraging way to study japanese since nihongo is realy difficult ...you are amazing...

[moorhurst]

can you let us know if you dont plan on finishing these.

you diden't say you wouldent but I'd settle for up to lesson 25 come on it's a nice round number

[djbliss822]

i love how you have made learning japanese easier than it ususally is =] thanks a lot!

[Wildcat320]

eye <3 U

[takineko]

MY EYEBALLS LOVE YOU TOO STRANGER! ;w;

[zeldaoot23]

Funny, I knew these phrases sounded familiar! Coincidentally, when I started learning Japanese a few years ago, the first book I ever studied from was Japanese in Thirty Hours -- I just picked it randomly off my public library shelf! Some of the phrases/excercises are silly (as you point out repeatedly :-), but it really helped cement the grammar in my brain. Good choice, and keep up the good work!

[punkrockclique]

sugoi!

good quality of voice!

big help for me!

ill be a good japanese speaker!lol

waiting for lesson22!

please upload!

arigatou!

ganbatte!

[WolfieTrIpP]

Ake-ome! I was just wondering if you were going to finish up this book, because me and my boyfriend have been learning together and we can't wait for more! You'r great and we love your lessons and your comments while teaching. Please more?! Mata me!! ^_^

[squally2008]

I love ur comments...SO cute lol

[moorhurst]

can you let us know if you dont plan on finishing these

[juggalomushroom]

I demand you finish this book, the lessons have taught me quite a hefty amount. ありがとう　タキ猫さん!

[Giantrain]

YEAH i`ve reached until this video impatiently

[bzarry]

hey, you are great!! will you continue and maybe even finish the book??

grtz from a dutch guy learning japanese in spain (hmm sounds weird huh)

[LimeLemonLeaf]

[puffinlittle]

[Giantrain]

What the hell is wrong with you

[KireinaCAT]

God? are you talking to me?

YAY! i wont rush you! its just that i cant find taht old book anywhere... and watching everyone else sit on a chair infront of a webcam is unbearable and not fun :(

TAKINEKO > UNIVERSE

[saturasdemon]

First I want to say that I like what you do!!

But why the hell are you writing "wo" and not "o"??

You are not writing "ha" instead of "wa"

aren't you??

[takineko]

b.c. old book is old. I'll probably explain that one later on tho.

[kayla2211550]

I am not at this level yet, just seeing how many you had up. You are so funny, and it is truely refreshing from the monotone cd's I bought to help me learn. bleh. Thanks so much for uploding these!

[takineko]

Thanks, I can only take so much of those CDs

[duenner]

this is really good! although there are some things in the other lessons that i learned differently from books...

[charlesandrew10]

what is shiteru?

[dekablueranger]

shi-te-ru.

It is the less formal way of saying shi-te-i-masu. She will get to that when she gets to around lesson 30 something.

[maxac595]

Need.... more.... lessons..........

[takineko]

might take a while sorry, dont have my computer or books

[maxac595]

Oh.....

[dekablueranger]

Dang!

Anata-no hon to kaputa-wa doko-ni ari-masu ka?

[takineko]

Tabemashita

[dekablueranger]

You ate what?

[Tko101488]

How do you say "This is a very long and slightly complicated sentence that has no actual point except to make an amusing sentence when translated into other forms, and on a side note, chicken tastes like purple unicorns?"

These things wouldn't happen if you went ahead and made a few hundred more lessons. ^_^

[leediekleine]

why must it end so heavy?

*cry*

want to learn more!!

^^

taihen arigatou gozaimasu

[pRodiVeR83]

[jen830603]

I am eagerly looking forward to your next video!Make it snappier!I'm learning Nihongo in my spare time while I'm studying for my teacher exams back here in Romania.From teacher to techer speaking, u're doing a great job!(and that's not a compliment, it's a fact)

P.S. the grammar is really plain to understand............shall I go on?

we're all waiting

[archl33t]

Hey, all these lessons are funny and interesting. I would like to know where you find them for me to try to get them for myself. I know you will take a time to show new lessons, but I'm very curious right now!

Kind regards,

Architect

[r4nd0mn4me]

you're awesome takineko, i'm an aussie working/living in osaka and I've been taking you're lessons mostly every morning before going for work for the past week or two. looking forward to more. i started to notice less and less views as i went along in the classes... dropouts... they flunked :P

[dekablueranger]

NO.... There are like 51 lessons in the book!

...Waits patiently for Lesson 22

[lukechimingha]

wakarimasuyo. i knew that there were more coming already. i meant last lesson on youtube by sensei Takineko

[takineko]

sorry Lesson 22 is going to take a while, I'm moving and I don't have my computer or books with me.

[lukechimingha]

daijyobuyo. ochitsuke.

all good. relax, take your time. good luck with moving and everything :)

useless fact 1: your voice and funny comments remind me of a friend back home in melbourne.

[dekablueranger]

Last day of school was today! YES!!! Now I have more time to brush up on my Nihongo!!

[BerryzRisako99]

i love these lessons that u provide and u actually make it fun to learn with all the jokes u crack :)p i watched a lot! and im learning a lot! thaaaaaaaaanx <333333333333333

[Ichigo3D]

you are really funny. and thank. im sooo sick of paying like £30 for online lessons that dont work. yours dou.

thanks ^/_\^

[takineko]

I'm glad they're helpful. There are so many ways that people learn its a shame alot of the ways we teach don't really work that well :/

[MissPiggiexD]

how do yu say i love you in japanese ?

lol yur amusing to listen to :]

[takineko]

as in to a boyfriend/girlfriend, you would say I love you, "Aishiteru"

[r4nd0mn4me]

You sound so cute, I look forward to every lesson. Ja mata!

[szambrano22]

How many lessons still to go?

[takineko]

a little over 50 total i think.

[trinitysora]

Wow, thats alot.

[trinitysora]

Great!! I love these videos! Make more kudasai? *puppy eyes*

Mijail219 - Thats kinda creepy. xD

[janny012]

is 'kimono' the usual word when we want to say dress? I always thought it was only used with the meaning of traditional costume...

[takineko]

you could say Doresu, for dress.

[iArtimis]

THANK-YOU! FOR THIS!

[Mijail219]

I love hearing you, cant wait til next lesson. :D

[NMRA]

densha is train..

p.s. if i made that mistake i'd be pretty embarrased. so if you are, i'm 18 and just watched (and enjoyed) the first episode of pokémon.

hope i helped

[takineko]

yup

that's not a mistake, its what the book says, but the book is old.. and strange.

[kateam1975]

good lesson

[dekablueranger]

These lessons ROCK MY FACE OFF!!!!!!

21 down and 29 more to go!!!

[Yougotaproblemwithme]

This book seems to use "hako" a lot... XDD

I learned that "norimasu" which is probably conjugated from either "noru" or "noriru" (I think it's the first) means "to ride". I thought that "nori" only referred to the fried seaweed that is oh-so delicious. :3

[undeadorcjerk]

ima nani-wo shi-mashoo ka?

Leave!

haha, classic.

[seanmanvan]

"I just realized I make really weird faces when I'm recording my voice.." Dont worry about it, hardly any one noticed the faces u made...

[takineko]

you're just trying to spare my fealings. I know you're all laughing at me.

[seanmanvan]

Hey slow down im still only on number 6 :)

[takineko]

hehe, first they tell me to make more faster and now i gotta slow down?

[seanmanvan]

The further ahead you get the more daunting it seems, but i guess you cant please everyone eh?

[takineko]

i hope when I have 50 lessons new people dont show up and get scared.
