[eescoto71]

Dude, do you live next to a raceway or something?

[EluciaDeLuteIma]

I wish my teachers were like him.

[LordOfTheWhores]

どうも　ありがと　せんせい

[PrudencePwnsAll]

Doumo arigato Mr. Roboto!! *burps*

[FunnyBunnyofDOOM]

Very nice, I think I took something out of this as far as sentence structure. 

[DarkDant3]

3D version when ?

[TheEvilAntichrist]

I fucking respect you dude! That last part was 100% true. Now if only other teachers would adopt your teaching style...

[tailxamy]

Naze is easy to remeber.

Just think "Nazi's, why would you do that?" See.

[addamsk]

dude you are an awesome sensei!

[TheKansaiKing]

hes funny and hes right but hes ronounciations is shit lol

[Tehkina]

どうもありがとう　：）

[214AngelDark]

Hilarious haha

[Aniturity]

[Aniturity]

why u curse so much

[ChillinEyeball]

Is that a salt shaker? lol.

[WTFCATLOAF]

cant you say Oyasumi

[sashwrecks]

hahahahahahahhaahhaha

[RikuIshmaru]

what is the difference (if any) is there between nani and nanda?

[prettyflowerboysxoxo]

@RikuIshmaru nani is what as in 'nan' is the base eg 'nanji' is what time and 'nanka is somewhat.

'nanda' is a less polite version of 'nandesu' meaning what is (he/she/it), which followed by ka is a question (YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS). da is a less polite form of desu, yeah.

[Endymion766]

doumo arigato sensei

[ClevelandRock]

"Do not fuck with me!" Best advice I've ever received from a teacher. Doumo arigatou, sensei.

[frankbeast1]

There is genius in this humor. Crude but geniu!s

[chanthany2]

@MrGeno86 it is hahahaha

[Gingababe123]

(｡◕‿‿◕｡)

[masuat]

I am so acquainted with his face now.

[iSpewRainbowss]

Youre my idol lol

[RisingInnocence]

Ha the ninja turtles. XD

[mugg1991]

isn't it "ohayou"?

I see "u" in some places where they may not belong to, for example "arigatou".

I'm not sure what's correct and what's not...

[SinfulOcelot]

@mugg1991 Some people tend to spell "arigatou", "ohayou" etc for some reason I don't get.. The "u" actually stands for double vocal. In japanese when you write "arigato" using hiraganas, you write it "arigato" and then add small "u" hiragana mark to the end. This, however would be pronounced as "arigatoo". You're not doing it wrong by spelling them "arigatoo" and "ohayoo". In fact, "ohayou" looks real funny to me. I've always seen it written as ohayo or ohayoo.

[caspargrindcore]

a i u e o ka ke ku ke ko

[SinfulOcelot]

No offence or anything, but it's "doomo arigato", not "doumo arigato". They use the small u hiragana to tell if there's a double vocal, but it's pronounced and written as "doomo arigato".Other than that, great props for this fucking shit. You're teaching these bitches well and someday they'll be able to understand and speak it.

[theseyu]

@SinfulOcelot Funny that you tell us it´s "doomo" .... Just funny that i reviewed that already some time ago in more than just one book. And you can write it in romaji like "doomo OR doumo"... you´re fucking free to choose and both is correct to the fullest!

[SinfulOcelot]

@theseyu Well it's definitely pronounced as "doomo" and written in hiraganas the same way. I don't see any reason why it should be written as "doumo" in romanji. I don't deny that it might be written as doumo in some books but I think it's stupid. Some people may think it's pronounced as doumo cause of the little u hiragana after the o. This, however means there is double vocal, which makes "doumo", doomo.

[theseyu]

@SinfulOcelot I share your opinion, that it´s stupid ;) But it doesnt change the fact thet it CAN BE written in both ways ,) I really don´t know why it is that whay, but that´s how it´s said in more than just 1 Japanese teaching books ;)

[SinfulOcelot]

@theseyu You don't have to agree with me. I really hate that I sometimes end up sounding overly bossy with my comments. I'm glad there are people that realize it's just my opinion and that i'm not trying to overthrow anyone. And you're right on your part too. Peace.

[feh147]

i think konnichiwa means good afternoon?

[linkthewise]

Genius, dude you know how to teach kudos.

[Kokoroaimi]

This is really great, actually! I'm actually making progress for the first time since I found out that verbs go at the end of the sentence and ohayo meant good morning rather than my state. I will definitely follow this through!

[ClevelandRock]

@Kokoroaimi Hah! It's my state, too. I'd like to go to Japan and tell people I'm from the Good Morning State. In fact, that should be its official nickname. I don't see too many buckeyes anymore.

[Kokoroaimi]

@ClevelandRock

That sounds wonderful! The Good Morning State! Unfortunately not many good "morning people". XD

[rocketpropulsion]

Did he just use a salt shaker for a shot glass? WHERE'S THE PARTY!!!!!!!

[zfan2591]

I think there's something wrong with you. Did you lose your job as a teacher?

[Justin13L]

The rudeness is gonna get annoying in one or two lessons...it's a pity. You'd be a great teacher

[azkeyz]

Personaly never cared about stix other than tommy shaws guitar playing

and the grand illusion song.

mr.roboto was too advanced for me , that was back when I didn't know jack squat about the illuminati take over of american music.

[csendalelkemindennek]

its a pity you are rude

[Band898]

i bet kids would do their homework if he was their teacher

[MrInsanity25]

@Band898 I do. I'm 15 and love this course so far.

[screener123]

great helpful class you make it fun lol

[vabegaca]

Hey you bitch you forgot the word for how For everything else thankyou mother focker

[Gayforguys]

I don't wanna pee a

onomatopoeia

??????????????

[Nytrox3000]

idntwnapeea?

[MercenaryZack]

There was 11 bitches here.

[MercenaryZack]

Funny thing is I hated school, was so boring, from you I learn so fast and effective, not to mention that the way you present it makes the learning hell of a fun xD

Your my favorite teacher =D

Thanks man.

Arigato.

[genuinebbuck]

why is paati using the ti sound when later you say that it's not right to say ti and to use chi instead.

[zeronamagem]

@genuinebbuck because paati is using katakana, and it is actually spelled パーティー(or Pa - Te i - ) it doesnt actually use the Ti symbol, it just uses dashes (-) that mean to hold a sound longer. You'll understand later hahah

[genuinebbuck]

@zeronamagem I'm almost done with my Katakana now and I learned that like a couple of days ago, kinda funny huh? anyways this has taught me not to overstep my skill level I've only been learning 4months and am working on the metric system at the same time.

[p0k3m4ns]

isn't there a japanese word that means "party" or something like it? i don't really get why there is random words that sound like english, but only sometimes.

[Ninjujitsu]

@p0k3m4ns Japanese use loanwords a lot more than we do because either the word didn't exist before (like konpyuuta or hotto doggu) or they just think it's easier/more fashionable. Japanese love speaking English. English is the language you're most likely to be seeing taught in most schools in Japan, and a lot of common English phrases are used and understood. Simply, there is a wider affection towards English in Japan than there are for foreign languages in English.

[SergioSource]

the hardest part is they had a fkn good and stable alphabet but they had to import Chinese characters. -_-

[PawsRawr]

@SergioSource Kanji aren't at all that bad. Kana is very easy, so is kanji. 一二三四五六七八九十百千日月火水木金土上 etc. Okay, so maybe ue 上 is read jou shou ue uwa kami a.geru a.garu nobo.ru nobo.ri nobo.seru and nobo.su and sht like that, but it only gets easier, trust me.

[aftereffects00]

@SergioSource chinese charaters is more hard to learn then kanji ..

[RisingSun011]

@aftereffects00 actually kanji are chinese characters.

[audiotranceable]

this is amazing!

[DonnieSenti]

Learn to speak Japanese confidently with these interactive audio lessons, watch the video - youtube.com/watch?v=wfseANZtMN­g

[KickAssNFG]

[jkov2009]

Rock on mother fucker, rock on.

[OnnenRyu]

he he oppai ga ippai!!

[CloudX100]

Put the shit down in your MOTHERFUCKIN NOTEBOOK! LOL

[Kurama034]

lol at the Styx reference

[killerzombie092]

its not fucking naze is mother fucking nande D:<

[mefidys]

@killerzombie092

「naze, nande, doushite」　... they ALL mean 'why'

naze is 'usually' used in written text

[AtomeBio]

So would it be like this？

ビールわどこですか

[mefidys]

@AtomeBio

It's: ビール　「は」　どこですか。 (where's the beer?)

I know you think は is 'ha' but when used as a topic marker, it's pronounced 'wa'.

[AtomeBio]

@mefidys

Thank you

[weefunker]

I can't get over how effective this teaching is

[zxtristanxz]

So how many lessons should I watch per day?

[TheLokgar]

あんたは私のパパですね。

[mvp16822030]

if only teachers in school where like this

[NeosKortexXx]

Hey!

I am curious why you think he is a good teacher!

I think he is, too.

The more answers you give, the more satisfied I am.

Thank you!

[snookfook]

literally the best teacher I have ever had.

[karhil44]

Kono is this, not that. Sono is that. What the fuck?

[ArturoStojanoff]

I'm also writing all this in hiragana because I know them all (except the yo's) but not fluently, and like this I'm gonna do it faster.

[SurTensionMusic]

You makes me dream really. I want to study with you ! :p

[ArturoStojanoff]

Not to be rude, but isn't kono this and sono that?

Honest as a question, not criticizing...

[HakumeiHogosha]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your teaching methods!

[eauclairewisconsin]

youre a good teacher...stupid bitch haha

[pyro9050]

Your handwriting is actually pretty good for a guy who seems a little drunk sometimes.

[glitters171717]

im very sure that 10 minutes and 23 seconds of my life wasn't wasted lmao

[robinjam304]

Namasensei wa dare desuka?

He's my fucking Japanese teacher. You stupid bitch.

[themightycelestial]

" ...'nani' means what....

...'dare' means who.....

and na *urRRRRPPp!!!!!* ....

... 'naze' means why."

I'm really learning my shit with this guy.

It's like when Mr. Miyagi  taught Danial-san karate with his "wax-on wax off" technique.

[robinjam304]

This shit is beginning to make some fucking sense. Thanks bitch!

No seriously, this is useful stuff. Thanks.

[Virgilio1287]

i feel smarter already...

[alw208]

ohayo

O... hi yo! :)

[kuplais]

That's a fucking way, how to create the fucking interest to learn something new. It's not boring to watch this fucking lectures. As I know already ground of Japanese, this lectures are like a funny repeat of my acknowladge.

[AstriBlair]

This style of teaching actually works for me...I don't get bored LOL..

[shadonaruto33]

i dont give a fuck about my hand writing eather  mine is harder to read than a fucking doctors lol

[KyleCom]

This definitely made me laugh, I like this guy.

he knows a decent amount too.

For others watching, just keep in mind that the Japanese are usually very polite and manners mean everything!

watashitachi wa nihongo o hanashimasu!

[vwomar]

Thanks Nama- You are fucking awesome

[DirtyDeeds2008]

You kick ass sensei sama

[milkfunsbro]

Hey Man I love you ,but i had to do a Tribute Parody

on your Ass..LOL

Sorry..hope you like it...

You BITCH......!!!!!

[cloudstrifeification]

How do you write Paatii in Hiragana? There is not "Ti" in hiragana?

[iamwishfordan]

paatii is written with katakana

[cloudstrifeification]

Thanks for clarifying that!!

[garblojones]

also to clarify further ... this is pretty F'd up but it's パーティ (PA - TE i ) notice the small i

[cloudstrifeification]

@garblojones

Thanks for the info I'll make note of that even though I am not sure about the small "i".

どうもありがとう。

[cloudstrifeification]

I have seen thank you spelled in japanese two different ways domo and now doumo is either one correct? And can both be used?

[GoldenGal42]

In 'dōmo arigatō' there are double vowels - pointed out by the lines over the vowel(s) in question. When it comes to double 'o's in hiragana a 'u' is written (e.g. どうも ありがとう) - that is how it is written but it's pronounced as a double 'o'.

There are exceptions to this rule but you learn those as you learn vocabulary. The same rule applies in Katakana.

[SairoKun]

AT least its not boring, who cares if he's swearing he's drunk.

[zaldude]

You are a complete retard. You may know Japanese but you're not very POLITE. Which is a BIG part in Japanese!

[inuyasha4675]

its like if jay and silent bob taught japanese

[heepsbeached]

Namasensei, your the fucking best!!!!!! Bitch!!

[DaaNBanaaN]

When you said "that the ninja turtles even know them", I was thinking like.. "Wait, cowabunga isn't japanese"

[BurningToDeth]

exactly what i was thinking XD

[AliceC1127]

>:(......can u write in japanese? not just write the english pronounciation?

[TheBakemono]

This is how to teach... we need him at our school :-)

[Non3ntity]

@TheBakemono Yeah. If you don't care about learning anything correctly.

Can't write Romanji (English words) and can't even get grammar right (Kono is not used for locations, kore is) In a video entitled "grammar."

Seriously, he needs some help. To look that physically messed up, feverish, etc, and like he is on drugs, something is wrong.

[xhalogirl360x]

someone is a grumpy ass mother fucker

[sfisk0]

doumo arigato namasensei

[drewsky684]

is there a way to say "yeah" in jap? obviously hai means "yes", but what about "yeah".

[HentaiNoKamiSama92]

うん

Un.

Pronounced Mmn, or something close.

[sweetevilproductions]

what is how in japanese?

[HentaiNoKamiSama92]

どう。

Pronounced dou.

[SithLordGryffindor]

doumo arigato

[FrauLibelle]

namasensei, i fuckin' love you!

[jpopcorn]

this is great, it's like learning with tourettes.

[sushiking56]

wow this actually helps you learn Japanese xD

except for the cursing part lol

good job :D

[Mottahead]

If you go to Japan and starts speaking fucking Japanese as you speak fucking English , I'm sure some samurai wannabe piece of shit will stick a samurai sword up your ass, you fucking prick.

[shanirideshorsesss]

I thought kore was that?

Or sore?

[HentaiNoKamiSama92]

They both are.

Kore- used for items closer to you, than to the person you are speaking to.

Sore-used for things closer to the person you are speaking to than you.

Are-used for things, that are equally away from both of you.

[RelVleDy]

kore means "this," sore means "that." What I'm not sure is why he said kono means "this." I know the difference between kore and kono, but he translates it as "that," so I take it that's an error on his part.

[8ulls3y3]

you are not even trying to pronounce those fucking words correctly, you and your fuckin yankee accent you fucker! ^_^

[shaada100]

prick

[Jester12036]

and drink beer!

[Jester12036]

i love this class....you bitch!

[EsHammer1001]

Now I just need some goddamn math lessons, you fuckin' bitch. Do it, 50 of them.

[EsHammer1001]

Oh yea, I forgot to add, thanks a fuckin' lot. It helps alot. Keep up the good work, SHIT!!

[ltm909]

Wow these are really good, I can now actually have bad conversations with the japanese people i meet in london and this is only lesson 2, I've been given a rather harsh lecture in "USING POLITE SPEECH" by one of them so i assume this is all rather informal japanese, but still Thanks a lot

[CenturyGamer]

Damn you fucking idiot he made it very clear that it was informal

[hazara11]

u are the man namasensei

[brownybum123]

so would sensei wa nani desuka mean what is a teacher?

[bumnumba1]

Yup. I would drop the i from nani in that sentence to make it sound more natural. Sensei wa nan desuka.

[brownybum123]

ok thank you.

[Jouninja]

@bumnumba1 Actually sensei doesn't mean teacher. It's more of a title, you use it for teachers and doctors mostly. also no teacher says that they are a sensei, that would be regarded as conceited. The regular word for teacher is kyoushi.

[netmd6]

Kono is more especific than kore i think.

[numbewunstunna]

i thought kono meant "this"

[Lazy4Couches]

''this'' is ''kore''

[ViktorBluhme]

and isn't the word that "sore"?

[Lazy4Couches]

I think kono, sono, and ano. are informal.

and kore, sore, are are formal.

[bumnumba1]

WRONG

[bellabambina249]

@bumnumba1 I think kono and so on show possession... 

[genuinebbuck]

@bumnumba1 right! LOL I learned stuff other places too

[Honeydew7396]

@Lazy4Couches Kono, sono, and ano are "determiners", meaning that they link to a noun--e.g., "this dog", "that dog", and "that dog over there", respectively. Kore, sore, are just mean "this", "that", and "that over there" without an attached noun. As in: "This is my house" or "That [over there] was my elementary school."

[mefidys]

@Lazy4Couches

kore (this) sore (that) are (that [way over there])

when followed by a noun,

eg. you want to say 'this [noun]' instead of just "this"

kore + no = kono enpitsu (this pencil)

sore + no = sono kamera (that camera)

are + no = ano tatemono / biru (that building [over there])

[TheSarcasticUzumaki]

kono, sono, and ano are this, that, that over there just like kore, sore, and are. They are, however, put it front of a noun to ask or speak specifically about something. Sono Hito = That person Kono hon = This book

Kono hon wa omoshiroi desu = This book is interesting.

kore wa omoshiroi desu = This is interesting.

[Ch1mp90]

kore -> this

kono hon -> this book

sore -> that

sono mondai -> that problem

are -> that over there

ano yama -> that mountain over there

Hope that cleared up the confusion.. YOU STUPID BITCH !!!!

[ViktorBluhme]

It fucking did, you bitch!

[nwvkxc]

wait am i the bitch or all we are bitches

[Ch1mp90]

All of us are bitches xD we're in these fucking shit together xD

[Fjohnny]

格好よい!!! あっぱれだ!!

[BeNNzuFG]

Fukiing back and both...akujunkan....

[chilldude567]

LMAO this is in my mouth ... ppfff pooftt

[ali9cats]

This is great, thanks so much for posting this, it's now 10:30pm and i know a, i, u,e,o, ka,ki,ku,ke and ko, in the morning i'll remember ki means tree and thats probably about it. thanks again your an awesome teacher

[UnholyBurgerr]

So... since the videos has already been posted, should I just look when the next video was posted and wait that many days before doing the next lesson? Like wait 3 days from now to do lesson 3 and study lesson 2 in the meantime?

[DarkAngelOn3]

dude u said nani wrong

[bumnumba1]

I doubt that man... Did I say nan? That's a pretty natural and standard way to say what. Please be more specific.

[kakalunga]

Its so funny how Namasensei is harshly teaching us a language that appreciates and emphasizes politeness... :D

[TheThevhonshow]

actually in the example part kono hito wa dare des ka is a little wrong it should be Sono hito wa dare des ka

[CailetImagea]

i love you lessons but kono is actually "this" sono is "that"
