[1C] "I'm Yan"

[evhwolfgang2003]

Miki Sugihara is adorable

[Vojife]

I find the lady annoying.

[ikadir18]

he said 'kore wa - Kato-SAN no kamera desu - which u r not suppose to use after your own name!

[isprekken]

@ikadir18 He was telling her it was his dad's camera, not his. His name is Kaiho, not Kato.

[cmsahe]

Yan-san should be summarily executed after all the chaos he unleashed at the airport! :D

[TheDeathsuponus]

i am yan is hilarious thanks for the vid

[chocofreak887]

is it weird that i remember which is which out of kore and sore through an old mad tv skit? .___.;

[Laurelindo]

The normal sentence structure is NOT 私は・・・です.

Seriously, anyone who's skilled in Japanese knows that only a verb is required in a complete sentence and that です is completely different from "to be" in all possible aspects.

Saying です after a sentence is primarily a sign of politeness, not the word for "to be".

For this the declarative だ is a much closer equivalent.

[getlostupig]

@Laurelindo umadbro

[TreesAreYourFriend]

3:12 My brother: HAHAHAHAHA Me: What? him: IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S SMACKING HIS BUTT!!! Me: ...what? ... oh LOLOLOLOL XDDD

Just trying to help, good luck!

[0Megaman0]

They're speaking so fast! It's hard to catch on the words so I end up listening to them saying a certain sentence like 15 times D:

[HoodieSmith]

I agree. I can understand I just can't catch up D:

[benighted2]

Oh Yan... such a klutz

[hosozoku]

[earthfireangel]

thank you for the upload.

[saliena93]

私はオリビアです。

[OhneKonfession]

[Shugotenshi99]

Watashi wa Mei-chan desu! Hajimemashite!

[xeionx]

[StringsCrusader]

:P its so corny tho lol. I guess all language seems like that when you learn the basics :).

[rikutea]

watashi wa Iveta desu. :P ty for the upload.

[pokemonlover20072]

That works! I really like it too. So I could say either Watashi wa Danielle desu or Danielle desu, right?

[reallydonotcare]

yep, im pretty sure

[dave111483]

this is really helpful...

[Tomasiba4you]

watshi wa tomasiba4you detsu! i think i learned something good from this.

[etsed]

Yan is my hero.

[ladygemini2007]

Hehe...mine too.

XD

[AkinaGod]

I don't know why but I find this much more useful to learn Japanese with than classes.

[silvergenko]

Wow, I can't believe how complicated she makes these lessons. I know a great deal of Japanese, and she still confuses me. Why can't she just say, "Hai, means yes, Kore wa, means this, and Sora wa, means that."

With enough experience, a person would be able to figure out that words in Japanese don't alway translate into exact english.

[Quicki2007]

Yes!　Yan-san and his buddies are speaking really fast, and they "mumble" a bit. It's difficult to hear what they say.

[alandefreitas2]

I think everybody got that Hai means Yes, Kore means This and Sore means That. But she repeats that again and again on purpose. Otherwise, it'd be too easy and we'd forget it!

That problem is when you watch the buddies speaking normally and you have a reality shock! kkkk

[silvergenko]

hmm, good point, lol. I guess beginners need to have it ingrained more, then later on when they get used to it they can speak more skillfully.

Don't mind me. XD

[Cronaldo02]

wow she has no clue in what she says

[AkinaGod]

wow, it is much harder to hear the full conversation at real time speeds.

[Sylent7]

How do i get the pdf textbook plz. the link is not working. :'[

[koreanweed123]

yan is a pussy faggot fat fuck jew

[CirtolthielMelethnin]

lol wtf

[crass770]

lol. I remember watching these on TV when I was a kid

[corpus26]

If you want this video and the rest off them just search on torrents or ask me ill try to find the torrent link. if still on torrents Haha

[Sylent7]

Can you find the torrent link plz. And, um, whats torrent? :|

[AkinaGod]

... Don't know what torrent is and your looking for it???

Either way, yes, please get the new torrent link working. I would like to download that.

[corpus26]

Hahaha, I have this DVD and is realy good, thats how I learned japanese. I'm now taking Russian. Because I'm trying to learn as much langueges as i can. And im only 15 truning 16 This june 18. YAHHHHHHHOOOOO

[Alas777]

[lilaznboi010]

[kutieboo]

Arigatou... :)

[KasaiAisu1]

Wow Yan is clumsy

*crash*

"Im so sorry!"

*crash into different person*

"Im so sorry!"

[Jyuiosha]

they arent really talking fast, its normal speed for them, its like how we talk at our normal speed and seems very fast for foreigners.

[SDRockman]

Look buddy....fucking STOP calling people outside of Japan frigging foreigners could you?? Cant you fucking people of Japan not see that you are constantly putting up a barrier between yourself and people from outside of Japan every time you call someone a frigging foreigner?? Im going to let you in a little secret here. YOU ARE A FOREIGNER IN ANOTHER COUNTRY AS WELL!! AND DONT YOU FORGET IT!!! So fucking running around calling people foreigners ISNT going to do you any good!

[auroraginga]

Calm down.He didn't say "dirty outsiders", what else is he supposd to write ?

You have anger issues! grrr!growl!

[auroraginga]

Calm down.He didn't say "dirty outsiders", what else is he supposd to write ?

You have anger issues! grrr!growl!

[Jyuiosha]

wow? ever considering therapy? please look in the dictionary to see what foreigner means. it means "a person not native to or naturalized in the country or jurisdiction under consideration; alien." what part of this dont you understand?

[SDRockman]

YOU dont know what it's like over here!! It's not only be called "gaijin" thats bad, but the police go around stoping "gaijin" just because theY are riding a bike! A FUCKING BIKE!!!! WOW, GREAT WORK FUCK BALL. SINCE HES A GAIJIN HE MUST OF STOLEN THE DAMN THING! And I take it you havent seen the signs that are up everywhere in Japan saying "No foreigners"? People pulling their children away from you because after all, you are JUST a BIG BAD GAIJIN!!! You dont know what its like over here!!!

[332076]

dunno about you (the one who is reading this), but i love this clips - u can learn japanese while having fun XD

please forgive my mistakes if u find some(for me, english is a foreign language too)

[IssyMissy]

Ha ha ha, I find it fun because it's so old. And your English is good, don't worry.

[neomartinm]

god damnit why do japs talk so damn fast!?

[bob1229]

[Ketski]

Lol, was "correcter" and "firstly" used on purpose?

[bob1229]

[dclan23]

domo arigato for da ppl who uploaded these vids and Damn thy talk madd fast

[vgjr300]

this is good! I have dreamt of traveling to Japan for over a year now! thank you for teaching me this beautiful language!

[OnceHopefuL]

hai isnt "thats right" wtf hai is yes and sou desu is "thats right"

[AaronPhoenix]

hai is That's right, or that's correct. It makes less confusion where Yes/no could be said. You seem to be saying what you learned from an anime or something where they aren't literal translations.

[shawnzer06crahan]

Cough! knowitall couch!

[TarcisioOldMan42]

this is a big help! domo arigato for who ever uploaded this!!

[shtfsth]

this isn't so hard. i like it. it's sort of easy

[ohwaithuh]

This would probably be really good for beginners. ^^ I'll recommend it to my friends since I can't teach. @w@;;

Thanks for the upload.

Man, this looks old. What's with the hairstyles?

[CherryBlossomSakura3]

It's from the 80's...

[Pecktoth]

what does desu mean again? and is it at the end of every sentence?

[yomimura1234]

desu= are/is/be. no it's not. be

[CaRC1n0g3n]

Desu is used to denote a sentence as an explanation.

"Watashi wa Yan-san desu" is explaining "this is Yan."

[JLMason92]

"Watashi wa Yan-san desu." means I'm Yan. Not "This is Yan." Kore wa Yan-san desu." is "This is Yan."

[CaRC1n0g3n]

Yeah, that's what I meant. My bad =P

I forgot "Watashi" means "I"

[Kentama]

You don't use kore/sore/are on people, only objects. You can say 'kono hitoha yan-san desu' to mean 'this person is yan'. In the video they're saying 'koreha yansanno desu', where 'no' is acting as a possessive of the implied baggage left out of the sentence. I spell 'wa' here as 'ha', since it's the correct form of the romaji, though the pronunciation is the same.

[vandalking78]

Its important to remember that "desu" is used in polite speech. In most casual settings you may never hear it used at all.

[fullmetalgurl]

her english is so loooong lol

[Mankuto]

kore wa learning video desu. right? anyone know if i did that right?

[myday1953]

[raitolovesandrea]

hahahaha u made my day. lol. yea the japanese is fast and english is slow. hahahaha

[oliverq]

OMG, I got it all! THANKS FOR UPLOADING THIS!! Dômo Arigato!!

[TheHolyThief]

Desu is the verb form for 'to be'

Watashi - I

Anata - You

So and and so forth. Goodness, this vaguely reminds me of French.

[mangaluva4life]

this just got confusing as hell =\

[kawaiisugichan]

can anyone tell me how "no" works and when to use it?.. and "ga" too... ^_^ thanks.. :D

[Danyboy87]

no is used kind of like an apostrophe used to link stuff together or show poession as in my dog = watashi no inu desu

[jonamuk7]

urusai minasan cant you see im trying to learn

[abby724]

You guys think this is easy? Wait till you have to learn all the kanji signs, haha...

[timer999o]

i watch this like 6 times i understand alot of words that are used here, thx

[NamineKairiXIII]

so basically kore is like 'this is' and sore is like 'that is'

[BartokViola]

not quite kore and sore are this and that not this is and that is it would have to be kore wa ... desu for this ... is

[NamineKairiXIII]

Yeah same difference :P That's what I meant xD
