[weaselwomp]

[KinneyTaylor7390]

cute!!!!!!!!

[givisbunny]

excelente!!!!

[Cardonyuko]

amazing!

but, don't put so much decoration in your pictures. for example: getsu

[flamingtelepath]

wetness day...that's bloody brilliant

Alternatively, here's what does it for me:

You're sitting out by your farm waiting for harvest so long that the "sun" set's and the "moon" follows. Suddenly, you see a "fire" off in the distance. You rush out there and pour a bucket of "water" on the flames. The water provides much need nourishment to the "trees," which immediately produce great fruit. The next day, you go to town to sell them, making "money." You then return to work the "soil" again.

[zDSpider]

Grab the pimsleur japanese courses. There are 90 lessons which you can learn in 3 months if you listen daily before you go to bed... twice. Also, you might wanna listen to same lesson in the morning after you've had breakfast.

[noveltytrixter]

like is suki, pronounced ski, i think. so food would be

tabemono ga ski des. I think. tabemono means food

[charlycheer]

yes its pronounced ski the u is silent and its dai suki de..its to like very much like love..ans suki by itself is just to like

[pisaluo]

but not in other dialects

[mptyyegdlc]

[DreamOfTurtles]

I used to be in love with applemilk1988 (Emily), but now alluna is the one I love!

[RootenMcflooten]

Good video even though you are mental :D

The song - Friday im in love by The Cure.

Find the acoustic version its a lot better

[Knuckles194]

Who knew ka would mean fire and that you must add it to every question Arigato gazuimasu

[curbebob]

Nice video, great wayto remember these. Doumo Ame-sensei!

[Rolia007]

That's so great. I like it very much. ~_~

The drawing is also very clear to understand.

And the song is very good to listen for times.

Would you tell me the name of the song, and the

singer? I would be very happy if you tell me that.

[alluna]

Sure! This song is by The Cure and is called Friday I'm in Love.

It's a good one! Nihongo wa dekimasu ka?

[jackstorm777]

this vid's pretty cool because people tend to remember wierd things better, so now I finally know every day of the week!!

[zurich09]

Very nice! You should put out a DVD series.

[alluna]

That's really flattering! I don't own the rights to the songs, though. ;p

[ryuzakilawlight]

@alluna who gives a damn about the song,make ur own if u have to,or just put ur voice-its GREAT!mind doing a lesson with stuff in the house ?

[Suljin]

Hahaha this was awesome thanks! We already learned the days of the week months ago, but only learened 日よう日と月よう日。Just watched this for review and then on our pop quiz this morning over days of the month I was able to use 金　と　水　Thanks! =D

[alluna]

Wooo! I'm so glad it helped!! Hope you're doing well in class!! Yeeee!

[stereobones]

Thank you! I've been taking lots of notes.

[Kilalacool]

Wow, these videos are fantastic! Thank you so much!!!

[alluna]

doumo arigatou gozaimashita!

[Rolia007]

Thank you a lot. I have found the song on the net.~_~

I really like it very much.

I'm glad to visit you here, and I can learn some

Japanese that I learned before. Thank you once again.

[leviatanxy]

emosewa!!

hoy es  getsuyÖbi here!!

[Hawking1969]

Thanks so much! I'm sure it took time to make this.

[alluna]

Thank you!

[showdownpictures]

great job, I'm gonna use all your videos to help me learn kanji... yoku dekimashita!

[alluna]

Thanks! I'll have one up soon called 'boring kanji'. These will be ones that are hard to learn because they look so mundane.

[balsamon]

hard work doing this... notes and stuff. well mostly correct, yet kinda hard to absolve all that info that fast...

[alluna]

Sorry that the speed isn't working for you, but I try to make my videos upbeat enough to keep interest...and they have to be short because my computer doesn't like to process large files. ;p

[captainmullet]

correction: Studying for two years, not just today haha

[captainmullet]

I just discovered your videos today, I've been studying Japanese for today and still have trouble with the days of the week, I love this stuff haha

[alluna]

Thanks! I had trouble with trying to remember everything so I thought that making it silly would work!

[leviatanxy]

do-you-bee its tomorrow, but is do-you-bee now in Japan???

[Akamu]

Ohh

hai,hai,hai

so you use ONYOMI to read if it's more than one Kanji Character? Like the Kunyomi for Fire is "hi" but If you combine the characters "Fire" and "weekday/day" it becomes kayoobi?

[alluna]

Yes, in combinations, that's the norm.

[Akamu]

heehee

okay

Arigato Gozaimasu

=]

[Tanoshinde]

I love your drawings, that was very cute! Good job on this, I LOVE these!

[alluna]

Yay, thanks! I hope you had an awesome holiday!

[jaydee0von0james]

That was good. I've managed to learn sooo much Japaneses but for some reason I cant ever remember the kanji for the days of the week.

[mrmree]

I love your videos. You're the best!

[LARC0]

anata no bideo wa chou ii desuyo! (Nice vid!)

Arigatou gozaimasu!

[FRANKLY21]

I like the style of your video. I think whirlysquirrel need to learn how to use the pause button to study it or just watch it again. As always your lessons are greatly appreciate. domo!

[whirlysquirrel]

I found this difficult to follow with all of the music and characters on flash cards....and the fast editing....you have me so confused.

Does each day get two symbols?
