Learning Japanese Lesson 1

[candygrl110]

0:15 POCKI!!!! xD

[kirbchu1]

basikly for the double digits like Juu (10) you put that in front of the numbers name like ichi (1) that might help you :)

[TaekwondoPiano]

It sounds very cute! :D

[raya508]

it's zero,ichi, ni,san,shi,go,roku,shichi, so many errors

and you didn't pronounce kanji right

[xMonstersGoRawrrx]

@raya508 Actually, there are two ways to say 4, 7, and i think 9. So its actually right. as far as pronunciation, cut her some slack shes still learning.

[mileycyruscousinchad]

i am Taking Japanese and French courses in High School now

[TheNcis100]

nooooooooo 4 is shi not yon! not to be mean

[Cardinal6648]

4 is either shi or yon. Shi is seldom used because it means death.

[Cardinal6648]

4 is either shi or yon. Shi is seldom used by the Japanese because it means death.

[xMonstersGoRawrrx]

@TheNcis100 No. Sorry but there are 2 ways to say the number 4. Learn before critisizing others ^-^

[gjab19]

@TheNcis100 it is shi or yon.. but japanese culture consider shi as death that's why they say yon, sometimes they say shi too...

[tecurry1]

hi your lessons are very helpful and i was thinking names for the next i have seen all of the ones you made and was just wanting to learn the numbers first

[vnck25]

Why do japanese people say "Ohio" in the morning?

Why cant they say New York, Illinois or even Vermont?

Are Japanese people related to the state of Ohio?

[NeptunePrincess04]

@vnck25 lol nice.

[iBimProduction]

7 is shichi :3

[sfantsfant]

@iBimProduction the number 7 is shici or nana depends of context ... if u count something it's nana and it's the most regular ... shici is used in marketing/business /martial arts and other repetitive things like that

[xfantasyinyoureyes]

@iBimProduction shichi or nana~ depends on context around the number.

[blueyxdragonair]

I thought #7 is sichi or something like that

[MeariChan10]

ah,thankyou!

[fufsayd]

i love the intro song, what song is it?

[gummyworm210]

@fufsayd turning Japanese(:

[kellybriannefan27]

thanks a lot

[RosesGiveYouThorns22]

4=chi/yon

I use chi for 4

Juuyon is 14

[spiral3333]

@RosesGiveYouThorns22　ローズ　は　ばか　です！　四　＝　し /　よん。。

ち。。。だめ　です

[blackMark001]

nijuuzero , nijuuni , nijuusan ... and so-on ..

am I right ?? huh

[hellzfist]

first mistake is your "O" sound. it is pronounced oo as in mood. in English it sounds more like a "U" sound.

[pokemonfangurlXD]

XD arigauto!

[NeosKortexXx]

4 (by itself = shi) changes to "yon" after the number 10; the same with shichi (7) which becomes nana after 10.

[fushigiyuugiadict]

number four is shee

[iluvfactoryballs2]

@beckyj9054 no, its japanese XD. what you were talking about were like, single, pair, triple,etc. these are the actual numbers in the video

[ilovekyokyoxD]

i can't believe they showed fruits basket!!!! thats my fav anime!!!!!

[thatvideoguy1993]

@chocolatechip247 actually if u look it up there are other ways to sya stufff.... my one friend lived in japan for 10 months ... apperently boys and girls have diferent ways of saying things like with friend with le and la

[BBoyRaiden712]

ok.... so the begging was soooo chinese and the title is japanese lmfao!!!!!

[retardeddummy]

that song is about beatin it

[Jbieberbaby99]

hai i love japanese food and clothing (hai = yes)

[DarkGenesis]

Isn't 7 shichi?

[Angelgun2621]

@DarkGenesis It's both, actually. There are two words for 7. Shichi, and nana. There are also two words for 4, shi and yon. Just a little FYI :) though, generally, shichi and shi don't combine with the higher numbers... At least from what I remember from my last Japanese class lol

[thapr0bass]

@Angelgun2621 you are totally rite haha

[miccerbug]

@DarkGenesis no it is nana

[106jr]

[extinction67]

Look don't be hard on the lass, she's learning as i am, if no-one did videos like this then who would?

It's good to see some who is kind hearted and will to pass on stills they've learnt.

And haven't you noticed those who've mastered skills are smug about it? Atleast she is as we are and understands how difficult it can be!

Be greatfull and shut the hell up complaining!

[RaitoJapanese]

don't teach japanese if you don't know it

[TicTacAnyone]

Good video, but just FYI you said kanji wrong :D

And to everyone else, you may also hear 4 (yon) as "shi". Yon is a more.. modern (?) way, and just don't get confused!

[TicTacAnyone]

Just so you know, I don't know if you're a guy or girl (Haven't really looked into your posts) but boku is typically used by boys... Yeah I know girls use it in songs, but I just thought I'd give you a heads up.

[Steph085]

[MoonCross10]

Lame

[SH1TH0T]

I was taught that seven was shichi....

[KitKatman2008]

some dialects of Japanese use shichi to mean seven. But the national Japanese consider it as "nana" to avoid confusing "shichi" with "ichi" and other Japanese words.

[mcadyb]

it is like the other guy said , and/or shichi is for 17(jiu shici) , 27( ni shici) etc , like 4 shi/yon 14 (jiu yon) etc .

[ikki345346]

1st of all cero in japan is also an attack with a sword 1nd off ichi is my name yes it means number 1 allso mean straberry

[chesiregirl]

dear sweet lord i wish they had japanese at my school. instead they have madarin chinese, the official language of a freaking communist country -_-

[attcheung]

China is strictly speaking not a communist but socialist country now, since 20 years ago. Otherwise, the free market economy and development wouldn't be existing for China under communism.

[noir0222]

got a big question, who sings this song?

[gshineman]

ha 10 id juu lol i wanna learn this so bad

[ziad1428]

1 is itchy. lol, i always thought it was

[silv6438]

It makes since! 1) it would be a pain to have to put the correct characters and

2) alot of the symbols and characters (1000-5000 not sure) are actually chinese

be nice about this.

[isentificate]

thats suck

[Savstad95]

tihis is a bit comfusing, in norwegian (my language) "ni" means nine...

[kei950]

[iliveinSW3D3N]

[kei950]

[ramenpow]

easier to learn than english numbers

well...for me just have some trouble with the counting markers

[gokharol]

what language do u speak? 0_0

[MewMint3]

I love q7! juunana ^^

So 21 is nijuuichi ?

[ramenpow]

yes but 20 is hatachi not nijuu though :)

[luesquire]

thats when you do money 20 is actually ni-jyu. Ive been learning Japanese for 3 months now and thats what I was taught I might be wrong but, again what ive been told.

[11483046]

i am also learning japanese(and also korean). i found a website that 0 in japanese is rei.

[matikucami]

o and 7 was like (he-chee) but i guess their are different ways to say it, and also, did u notice with alot of languages, zero is always spelled z-e-r-o, like i took french, it was spelled zero

[matikucami]

i thought 4 was shi, pronounced she, idk how to spell it but yon? my fam is jap, but i cant speak it, thats y me watch this vid, and i thought it was she, correct me if im wrong plz

[bubbly92c]

when you count you say shi. for example ichi apple, ni aplle, san apple shi apple

but just saying the numbers its ichi ni san yon ;)

hope it helps

[joerelli13]

hello in japan there are lots of laungues in some laungues they are diffrent like you sad 4 is she from where your fam came from but from where she come 4 is yon do you understand that

[Daisyflower25]

i heard that 4 can be shi or yon, doesn't really matter, i use shi though ^^

[ramenpow]

has to be yon sometimes

but if you were to speak it japanese speaking people will understand but the right way would be yon.

[Daisyflower25]

but i watched an anime, and they said shi the whole time :/

[ramenpow]

depending on what they say it would be shi.

and anime talking is sometimes different from reality.

[deezznutz08]

with my headsets on, during the faster phase it feels like she's breathing in my ear =0, swear i felt saliva

[ladyspeed123]

Too cool, I have been dieing to learn the Japanese languege. Thanks for doing the video:)

[zusie56]

[jessekarate08]

[neonblast]

you have pretty good pronounciation, you even sound japanese!! (when speaking said language) just a tip, those doubles, you carry the sound for a second- otherwise very good, im about as much a beginner, all i can remember is the basic greetings and apologies

[swordgz]

¡ Thank you, it was fun !

[XxFireAmberzXx]

juunana rymes wit banana xD

[ulysses198]

basicly when in 10ns its basicly the same but with juu(ps thx )

[Papu1234]

isnt that music chinese? :D

[Silvafdf]

Sorry miss you should know that

4 in jap means Shi and Yon not only yon

7 in jap means shichi or nana as you said

9 in jap should be spelled Kyu

10 in jap should be spelled Jyu

Thanks

[baybag]

according to the textbook "an integrated course in elementary japanese," ashley's spelling "kyuu" and "juu" are correct. soo...where did you get your info?

[Bwabysammi]

You have spelt multiple incorrectly.

4 = Si, yon

7 = Siti, nana

9 = Kyuu

10 = Zyuu [Might be spelt juu. It's pronounced juu, though.]

Thank you ;]

[whittleddownbattery]

You're using a different system of romaji.

That is all.

Most people spell "し" as shi, and "じ" as ji, because they are closer to the actual spoken sounds.

[Bwabysammi]

Oh.

That makes sense o-o

[BiGuyLove2008]

wtf sorry to be so harsh but just stop please, how can you make a vid teaching others when your learning yourself, you make to many mistakes

[Manestreamz]

awsome!

[spyiam]

were u in kill bill

[Chooify]

I rather learn it in a class

[ToxicsmilesXD]

JUU is spelled JYU not juu. Your gonna need to correct that if your makeing a movie teachin people.

[ToxicsmilesXD]

You can also call 4 shi

and 7 shichi.

[Marqz90]

[TriforceMcr]

I remebered it this way, I had a teacher who taught everything with mind tricks 1 and 2 two go together Ichi, ni. It sounds like Itchy Nee. San is the first with 3 letters Yon sounds like Yen so I think of dollar. 4 quarters makes a dollar. 5- (?) Roku sounds like Reku, and (kingdom hearts reference, sorry) there are six people on destiny island including him 7 nana (?) Hachi, 8 (?) 9, Kyuu. Nine looks like a q. 10, juu (?) 11, Juu is ten, then Ichi. 10+1= 11 and so on. thank.....

[TriforceMcr]
