damn! this was japan 30 yrs ago !!! and already more developed than most countries are still today !

[TheDeathsuponus]

If I hadn't studied for months before this, I would ahve no idea what's going on. Btw, sensei seems to have a satanic side to her. Can you see the devil horns? ^^

[gokharol]

this is getting me crazy...T.T

[ai43v3r]

if "oshite" means "push" what is "pull"?

[eien21]

pull is "hiku" or in this case "hiite"

引く > 引いて

[0Megaman0]

When it came to the part where you had to give directions yourself, I had to read it from a paper and I was very slow :(

Should I do it until I memorized it and I'm fast?

[xlwaiyiplx]

no.

[Zetioun]

Nuide and go nude sound the same if you ask me rofl

[Tarteviant]

Yea I was like that's convenient.

[Devium88]

Okay... Confusion.

Haitte sounds the same as haite. But here, she's saying it means "come in", when in part A, it meant "put on"...

[marziottaffm]

@devium88

hairu -> haite

I dont remember how it said toput on slippers...

[arnaud4474]

I got problems with the particles!!!

Why is it soko de tomete kudasai and not soko ni tomete kudasai? And why tsugi no kado o magatte kudasai and not tsugi no kado ni magatte kudasai?

[marziottaffm]

@arnaud4474

tomeru is to stop

usually the place where an action take place wants DE

we use NI with iku, kuru, kaeru, aru, iru

and it doesnt say... tsugi no kado o magatte kudasai but tsugi no kado o hidari e magatte kudasai. As he says toward where he should turn, he uses he. o marks the object... we just need a particle to mark the direction!

[ai43v3r]

then why is it DE and not E when he says "soko DE tomete kudasai"?

[Aploosh]

If he used E he'd be saying "stop towards there" rather than "stop there" as DE marks soko: the place in which you stop.

[marziottaffm]

@ai43v3r...

tomeru is an action that is taking place in a certain position. We use to mark the position where an action is taking place (stopping in this case), NI for things that are in a position... "koko de tabeteimasu" I am eating here... "koko ni tabemono ga arimasu" Here there is food.

Hope it helps... :)

[mermaid369]

does mr. kato have mush mouth or what?! wakarimasen!!

[ChiyoShimazu]

you know when the guy is saying go right at the next corner, is it

"tsuni o migi te kudasai" ??

or am i just hearing it wrong??

tasukete kudasai!

XDD

[shredder32]

That's at 4:46. He's speaking at normal Japanese speed, which might sound run-together to us, who aren't used to real-time Japanese.

[CyborgNinja7]

Honestly, having studied Japanese for five years, I can tell that this guy is not doing a good job. Sure, they want the native speakers to speak naturally, but he is not just speaking fast, but he is not enunciating his words correctly and is slurring them. This is not forgivable in a language lesson. He shouldn't have been hired.

[SpiritsFeliz]

yeah i swear its so hard to hear 'isoide' in what that guy said.

[marziottaffm]

@ChiyoShimazu

g in Japanese is often mute... Just like in Spanish.

[MasterDarkLink92]

wth is it? "Soko" or "Asoko"? "Asoko" makes more sense.

[cscentrlvideos]

Thank God for that time bar! You can always toggle it to go back on what you missed!

[alcusmc1013]

LOL @ "Please bring a notebook and pencil to this Japanese Video" It IS getting harder. Notes are important to rewiew basics and is a way to reinforce new information into memory. I think writing makes you use both sides of the brain instead of just one, I dunno.

[fynnfish]

I'm already writing everything down... but i think there was a textbook when this was made, so for the ppl then it was easier.

[RedDragonShard]

If you go back to episode 1a of this series by Aploosh, the is a PDF downloadable file of the textbook

[fynnfish]

oh, i didn't see that, started to wach these episodes somewhere else...thank you soo much!

[RelVleDy]

Is it just me or is sensei getting annoyed at us at the beginning of the episode. She's giving up on us!

[cscentrlvideos]

It's just you RelVleDy. She was just reacting to the last skit where Kaiho got into a fix. It's just usual cornball antics.

[reallydonotcare]

i think you might be right and im haveing a haed time fifureing out wth going on with the directions... im gettin more and more confused

[RelVleDy]

Hey, go back and forth between 5:11 and 5:20 when the video's stopped to see some funny faces. You show em sensei!

[5470462]

nvm... ill take notes -.-!!

[5470462]

lol it isnt necessary to take notes

anyways u can always stop(tomete) the video or watch the video again.

[lovehina887]

Yup taking notes is very helpful that way anytime you can practice. Im learning so much right now I know hiragana characters so Im good. Thank you again.

[underdogg20]

Haha, each episode has less views than the one before that... dont give up people!

[Liltay]

crulty...crulty i say..it's summer and i feel like im back in the classroom lmaoo i fell asleep on the last epi >.<' must rememberrr notes...geez y didn't i think of that Ha! u should put that in theinfo part of the video "Please bring a notebook and pencil to this Japanese Video"

[Swerty25]

So HARD!

[intelsilver]

its so haaaard

[kikujiroBuru]

writing notes should be second nature by now...how about all those vocab words they went over? did you remember them all?

[hloudwig1330]

Its a great choice if you take notes,

[timer999o]

you are so right or you got watch the like 4or more times to understand

[HaoRhe]

You are very wise to advise them to take notes.

[LegendSaber]

Ack! I can barely give directions in English! Ah well.

[jenasaraus]

you ain't kidding :)

[poohbearnikki]

This is getting fricking hard.
