I've been watching your Tofugu channel for a while, but only recently have I begun watching your Nihongo no chaneru. I like it; it is interesting and fun, plus it's a great way for me to improve my Japanese comprehension skills. Thanks!

You probably aren't putting the words in the right order. The sentence structure for 日本語 is SOV (Subject Object Verb). The sentence structure for English is SVO (Subject Verb Object). For example in English you would say "I am going to the store." In 日本語 you would say "I store am going."
NegatioNZor, he is a guy who teaches Japanese but he is American, lol. his other youtube account is called tofugu, in this account he talks mostly to a Japanese audience. In his other account, it is directed mostly at an english audience.
Koichi-san's room is a little bit mess; it is cluttered with various things. However, it looks cozy and comfortable. Anyway, I envy you because you can keep a cat in your room. My landlord never allow her apartment's residents to keep pets.
my sister has a two room apartment, but even so it is very cozy! an apartment is something to be proud of...then again, this is coming from a teenager. I'm not sure I'll feel this way when I actually get one, but it seems nice to have your very own place to live after living with your parents most of your life.
I think this video wasn't made purely to show-off Koichiben's apartment, but rather to also help people who are learning Japanese. I find it odd he verbalizes everything he sees, including the door, soap, cat... a lot of basic things to help those studying the language. Of course maybe I'm wrong, but regardless, I understood and learned a lot listening to it.
It's nice to know I'm making a lot of progress in my studies.... most Japanese videos I'm lucky to understand 1/5th of it.
I don't think he made it for that purpose. Although he speaks Japanese very well he still made mistakes. For example he miss pronounced words like robot as ロバト instead of ロボット and says words like ウォシャー ドライヤー instead of 洗濯機 and 乾燥機. He still got his point across but he still has a slight accent which is typical of all language learners. He gets pretty damn close to fluent sounding Japanese. Obviously this video is not made for Americans.
I was under the impression that all the Koichi ben videos were aimed at Japanese speakers. A lot of them explain things about English or American culture, so yeah.
Wow, you live in San Francisco now? Welcome to the Bay! 8Db Btw, you remind me of Aiba from Arashi (J-pop boy band). You kinda look like him and sound like him :) Keep up the great videos!

@NinjaOutfitInTheWash,
You probably aren't putting the words in the right order. The sentence structure for 日本語 is SOV (Subject Object Verb). The sentence structure for English is SVO (Subject Verb Object). For example in English you would say "I am going to the store." In 日本語 you would say "I store am going."
Hopefully this cleared somethings up :p
