Remember that what makes sence in english doesn't have to make sence in japanese :)

[TokyoBrando]

[betamaxdc]

what's with you trying to steal my cat thumbnail

[TokyoBrando]

my cat's cuter than that one :P

[Radrey]

yeah... I'm having the same problem. Friggin annoying.

[stefmax]

Kill the cookies. Try that.

Cool video! Your Japanese is pretty decent for not living there. Be sure to watch Japanese 24/7 to work on the pronunciation.

Why don't you also type in the description in Kana? Do you know how? If not I can help you... oh, and btw...

私の猫はあなたの猫よりかわいい。 (watashi no neko wa anta no neko yori kawaii.)

[TokyoBrando]

im not going to teach kana or kanji at all, im sticking strictly to Romaji..myargonauts put up kana in one lesson, i think its lesson 6 lol..team effort

[getoutofmyband]

Btw, It's really a good idea to do a Maybe/Probably/Perhaps/However­/But/etc.. type words in a future video coz there are so many! I personally use "kamo" (informal way of saying "kamo shirenai") alot. ^^

[getoutofmyband]

Oh and also for "Oooh/really?" I very very very often hear "Eeeeeeeee" XD

Oh and about konnichiwa.. it's just important to make the pause between the 2 Ns. KON-NICHIWA you don't have to drag the N very long or anything. ^^ It's one of those important thing to know like the difference in pronounciation between totemo & tottemo. ^^

[getoutofmyband]

Guys also say "Aa" for yes. Like if I ask some dude if he likes skateboarding he could say "aa suki da yo" and it'll sound cool/manly. Also the informal way of saying no you weren't sure how to pronounce is actually written Uun and pronounced "Uh-un" kinda like when we're busy & someone ask us a question an we shake our heads from left to right to say "no". For no you can also use "iya" which has other meanings (reluctant, disagreable, etc.) & even "sumimasen" (it has so many uses!) ^^

[TokyoBrando]

ye, i know Iya can also mean like i dont want to / i dont like it :)

[TheCrazyVlogOfSarahN]
