’机械’じゃなくて’機械’だけどねｗ

[noriyasu0625]

語源らしいけどぶっちゃけ現代で「いっていらっしゃい」はおかし­いよね？

誰も言わないし。

使える実際の言葉としては「いってらっしゃい」だと思うよ。

[Cre8tivemv]

great video!

[zutarafanforever1993]

Please make more videos like this!!!!!

[zutarafanforever1993]

Thanks SO MUCH for this video!!! I wrote them down, all three lines of each (the hiragana, the romaji, and the English). I was amazed by at the end I knew how to pronounce the hiragana before I even wrote down the romaji for the hiragana! I love your video! THANKS!!!!!

[TheMangaGirlXD]

Veramente il computer lo chiamano PersoCom ;)

[angrybirdy09]

its great people like you, to share japanese basic, it is very helpfull for me,

[Hardcorebabiixx]

Going to Tokyo in November 2012 and this is great for helping me get started in learning Japanese! thank you! :)

[chzo2012]

this is great and wonderful for people as it has loads of good phrases and things to keep on repeating and eventually remembering off by heart i am a 12 year old and this is a great video i hope to get to know Japanese decently well in some time and practice i have two languages already so i hope that what they say about paramingual(more than one language i think) people learning dif languages quicker is true i would just like to say thanks you for being epic.

[goodymanga]

@chzo2012 Thank you! And ganbatte! ^.^

[moriahlovesrockout]

I thought car was "KURUMA"??

[goodymanga]

@moriahlovesrockout It's interesting how many times I've been asked: isn't car kuruma? I just Googled translate car in Spanish, for example, and it's coche, auto, automovil, carro, vagon and maquina altogether. So, there you go! ;-)

[Ryuta2651]

@moriahlovesrockout

車も自動車もcarを意味する言葉です。

自動車という方が正式な言い方ですが、車という方が一般的です。

ただ、本来の意味でいうと車は車輪がついている物を指します。

そのため年配の方などは手押し車のことを車ということがあります­。

[ignas2526]

Nice job, but for people for whom Japanese is very far language and are just starting, it is quite hard to learn something from that. I'd call it a review or a list of greetings, rather than actually learning them. It would be more of a lesson if you would say a word and then ask viewer to repeat/say it, and then sort of make sentences with it, and ask how to say this... how to say that.

[Chobitsification]

I don't know about you guys, but I'm making flash cards! :D <3

[s3xyScorp]

very nicely done,arigato gozaymasu..

[98FFFANATIC]

just some advice to some foreigners: don't study the terms on this video if you are just starting out. search up the hiragana table and memorize the characters if you can. after finishing that, look up the katakana table and memorize that. it may take up to weeks but it is well worth it. after that you should start studying the words like these. after you get good at it then start studying kanji which is hell.

[anhlk]

Vietnamese more difficult than Japanese

[kissandtell16]

thanks man

[WenxXxD]

Ohayo ^^, Watashi wa U~endi desu, gakusei desu, juusansai desu, kuronbiajin desu, sayonara

[mosapz]

It's a great lesson, I will learn Japanese when I finished English ^^,jana

[ResidentEvil9125]

Wait, but I thought student was 学生

[gamer00341]

this is a great video keep making them :)

[haifa301]

omg! it becomes much much easier once you learnt the hiragana!!

[RozalaR]

[samNo0ry]

Thank you GOODMANGA.. Your sliced is incredible,, (^o^)

[thedtnewt]

[kingdomheartsgirl111]

Yoi bideo. (japanese)

Good video.

[kingdomheartsgirl111]

Okay, so it's Romaji, Hiragana, kanji, and I think there is more.

[zutto09]

@kingdomheartsgirl111 Katakana

[mikofujiify]

i thought kuruma meant car in japanese

[LoveDrawingxP]

what do the little characters in top of sensei mean?

[zutto09]

@LoveDrawingxP Those are hirigana characters. the big Sensei written there is in Kanji

[MerkurX]

I know kanji is advanced but itd be nice to have a little kanji on the side when you present words.

[DJ4geodeath]

[kanadajin3]

Your pronounciation in some words is off.

[mavenger3000]

are you playing piano and reading japanese at the same time?? ..

if you are, YOUR A TOP BOSS!!! ..

[goodymanga]

@mavenger3000 OMG, your imagination is really wild! No, I'm not a God! LOL ;-)

[Joshuabrutl]

This was going to fast :/

[TheMugetsu44]

a good way in learning the japanese language is by starting to watch an anime. ;D

[xXxXAssassin]

@TheMugetsu44 hai

[Knoedlii]

Wrong pronunciation in some words.. Don't speak vocals too long, when they're short and don't speak them too short, when they're long :)

[goodymanga]

@Knoedlii I speak like that in real life LOL ;-)

[yimei74]

@Knoedlii how to make the difference between the long and short vocals?

thkxs

[Knoedlii]

@yimei74 The long vocals are about twice as long as the short ones :)

[ParamoreDeepRock]

You should make a printable worksheet for this. This was very neatly and well make.

[PuhKiller]

I also love everything about Japan. It's just so wonderful country. ^.^

[goodymanga]

@PuhKiller Hehehe (hugz)

[alx20030]

@PuhKiller same here! ^^

[TheKimgentry]

learning another language is hard for me,,any tips??

[KittenCat2223]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought that "car" was "kuruma". I've never heard it called "Jidosha" before...

[goodymanga]

@KittenCat2223 You're right. I think jidosha is literally automobile. Thanks for highlighting this. ^.^

[kanadajin3]

@KittenCat2223 your right. kuruma, jidosha means vehicle, its used aswell.

[KittenCat2223]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought that "car" was "kuruma". I've never heard it called "Jidosha" before...

[2sunny111]

This was very helpful. (:

[59truckstop]

Excellent video. Brakes down phrases and pronounces words slowly to be best understood.
