[5A] "Please give me some stamps"

[CrissySnow]

My Japanese has been rusty. I was learning at the age of 15 and I had stopped. Give me 3 months with these lessons and the Erin Japanese Lessons and I'll be fluent. I can write about 400 kanji. Thank you for posting these videos yall should check out the Japanese lessons with Erin she's a student. Good stuff.

[lapeaceshakur]

We are french Okay lmaooo

[123japanesecom]

When mine got out from the car he looked like hen na ojisan

[mewshiemewshie]

@6:01 She's cute I hope they date in future episodes

[umumum1]

i think i'm going to end up watching all these again and writing the nouns and prepositions down. i cant remember them when i go to watch the next lesson then i hear them and i'm like "wtf is that word?!?!" haha. i'm going to take a jp101 class next semester. i'll probably know a lot already just from these vids. thank you Aploosh! ^_^

[SullyIsPrime]

@umumum1 i know you wrote this ages ago but im gonna do the exact same thing, because they keep adding to things i thought i already knew

[Tionois]

Seriously, one day the Japanese and Britsh (and Auzzies) give me heart attack. I do hear them speak Japanese but it takes car driving on left continuosly and without any accidents for five minutes before I realize the are SUPPOSED to drive left.

[KirachanLove]

Yan is so rude. LOL counting his change, and not letting the lady use the phone first. What a bitch. hahaha

[tkms12d]

Why did the old lady say "odekake desu ka?"

Can I simply say "dekakemasu ka? or "demasu ka?" Are the meaning the same?

[HAsoNrEaUL]

Can "Chikaku ni yubinkyoku ga arimasu ka?" be "Yubinkyoku ga chikaku ni arimasu ka?"?

[ulmo]

Yap. Since you have particles to indicate what's the function of the word in the sentencem you are kinda free to put it in whichever order you want to :D

[HAsoNrEaUL]

thanks :)

[KH2daantjer]

It is a possibility, but it's if you put the yûbinkyoku in front, we learned it's better to say: yûbinkyoku wa chikaku ni arimasu. The 'wa' emphasizes it.

[heisan271]

yes you can say that.

or "yubinkyoku wa chikaku ni arimasu ka?" sounds more natural for me as native speaker.

[gokharol]

sugoii

[ulmo]

Though Yan did it, in Japan it is considered pretty unpolite to count change.

[RedDragonShard]

True, but I think the reason that he did was likely to emphasize the counting feature in a later part of the lesson.

[mewshiemewshie]

@ulmo I think it is not polite to count change in the US, too.

[AmyAaylaRules]

@ulmo That was just to make clear how many money it was to the people who try to follow the dialogue.

[ai43v3r]

aploosh-san, i forgot to ask you in previous lesson, what is unpoliter form for imasu and imasen? also aru and nai?

[cmsahe]

Yan-san looks like Christian Clavier!! (Napoleon, TV series, Napoleon Bonaparte)

[cmsahe]

Aah! They fooled me I thought that beautiful car was real! ;)

[afanofF4]

is it me or is there no part B?

i cant find it, can someone give me a link or something?

[postboy08]

there is a part B..i think it just you lol

[afanofF4]

oh....*nervous laugh* i uh found it.....haha....

[jpopdancingkeyboard]

The guy below me had some great advice. If you get hung up it's usually a noun. I also got confused on car. I thought I was missing a "na." or something. If you don't understand then look up the word in a translation and usually you'll find the problem.

Thanks for uploading these. You're my hero.

[Ryokushindo]

I just looooove the music!

[Devium88]

9 times out of 10, most of words you won't understand are just nouns. I got confused at the beginning, too. Mostly at "kuru ma", til I remembered that "kuruma" means car. Now it makes a bit more sense..

[suspectv]

lol 'WE ARE FRIENDS OK'

[JohnathanEmmerson]

'OK!' lol

[mikec954]

are we suposd 2 understand all ther sayin in the opining skit caus i dont

[JStheGuitarero]

of course not. in every new skit there's a new grammatical "chapter", so you can't understand it, althoug you already speak japanese^^. I don't even understand everthing after they explained it. It's really difficult...^^

[sg475250]

How do you say... stalker?

[commonercoffeeaddict]

ストーカー

[youclavicle]

sutookaa

[x3alleyx3]

一目惚れ。。。

ヤンさん。。。

[szambrano22]

I am so happy i found this course, i am going to japan in a few days i feel strong enough to get by at least on the supermarket.. I will continue to check the lessons, this is great!

[Jamelto123]

What creeps me out is that after we finish these lesson we will probably have to download or find the Let's Learn Japanese Basic II. I hate new faces to these great actors and teacher, man I sure am going to miss these guys.

[CirtolthielMelethnin]

yeah...no more mine-san, yan-san, sugihara, kaiho, and sensei =(

[reallydonotcare]

or is there

[every1knows2]

at 3:15 yan almost got run over...lol

[ikadir18]

FlingNDirt - thankyou for admitting that. Yes i think it's normal to have to go through it a few times, and a good idea to cement these things before you move on to new stuff. Good luck. Ganbatte!

[ikadir18]

Ben Tennison, just stay calm and don't stress. I think that you should study japanese just a little each day - perhaps one episode or one section of a website/book. You will start to notice soon that you are recalling more and more - it is a long process that may take years! Just be calm, revise, and make a Japanese friend who can help you. Of course, taking proper classes is a good idea. Just be confident you'll get there

[FlingNdirt]

I had watched most of these videos at least six or seven times before I understood all of it^^

[otbaht]

i swear to me it sounded like he said we are french ok.

[FMALuver12345]

that's what I thought they said at first too. I was like OMFG!

I nearly pissed myself laughing

[FlingNdirt]

ok guys...at 5:07 We see miss Okado but is that that her first appearance?....check back to the very first video...Is that the same Girl who Gives Yan-san his dropped bag in vid #1 part-a 3:48? check it out tell me what you think?

[BenTennison10]

Crap I totally like dont understand at all!!

What am I do shit. I want to speak it so badly. HELP!!

[RavenStillBeguilin]

I've been writing down all the important words, etc that each episode teaches us. Studying them and only after I feel confident do I go to the next one. I would recommend this for everyone else

[cscentrlvideos]

Can't believe this was done in the 1980's! Fantastic!

[SpiritsFeliz]

awzm

[alcusmc1013]

The curious get overwhelmed, the dedicated stick around

[marmin74]

Yan almost got hit by a motorist :D

[RelVleDy]

The number of YouTube viewers are dropping like flies each episode =D.

[CirtolthielMelethnin]

but the ones that stick around shall prevail!

[5470462]

Totally...

[fivetosix]

HE TOTALLY LIKES HER.

[winstoncs]

Yes, "We are all friends here", so just watch it!

[koyoteboi]
