[A1234567890J1]

Bandanna makes u look old

[Tamotsukun]

Yeah, again a nice video Victor! :)

Thanks for putting so much energy and time in your channels!! :D

[Eagle90810]

herp. i've been watching these older videos and i've noticed they have a bunch of thumbs down lol why is that?

[Gimmeaflakeman]

@Eagle90810　I used to have a very dedicated "fan".

[OtakuViking]

@Gimmeaflakeman but then he took an arrow to the knee xD

[cking5100]

you could also say, i'm pretty sure, Aruko-ru ha zen zen nomimasen. but that would be i don't drink alcohol at all.

[Gimmeaflakeman]

@cking5100

True. So strange seeing アルコールin ローマ字..

[disasterVoiceNZ]

would it be alright to say "ダイエットコークでもいいですか”？

[Gimmeaflakeman]

@disasterVoiceNZ

Sounds good to me.

[EvilGERman]

wait a minute, where'd ur old glasses go? the new one's nice too by the way.

[Kepahl]

You can also say 'sakenomenai'

for I don't drink (alcohol). which I think is easier to say.

[CaLv930]

isn't i speak a little japanese / i dont speak that much japanese is "Nihongo ga sukoshi hanasemasu" ?

[novanine]

Though I do drink diet coke, I don't think I'll ever have to say 'I don't drink alcohol'!

Cercl.

[250mxrider]

like, if I don't have any real career skills besides being a native English speaker, and, let's say I manage to pass the JLPT 2, do you think there will be any long term employment opportunities at any companies in Tokyo in the future?

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Without a BA.... maybe not.

[250mxrider]

oh, gimmie a break man. I've gotta be able to find something. I did a 3 year college progam called "Civil Engineering Technology", might help...

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Yeah, that's something. That might help.

[wehrmanj]

cercl~

[7xemnas7]

damn, i realy want to learn japanese xD

[Angelghos]

I need to take you to Japan.(LOL)

[yammymyhammy]

Good feedback. I have one relatively straightforward question?

If I am taking a cab somewhere, and I need to give directions; what are some of the terms I should know. For example: Could you turn left/right at the next corner? or stop across the street, or stop here, this is good. Along with any other taxi/travel knowledge that would help, as you have years of experience traveling in and around Japan.

[samzever123]

良いメガネ、ドミニカ共和国とi dont午前14イム面食らう (i used a translator is this correct)

[zeeslag123]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I was just..... yeah, nevermind

[Ido013]

What about saying that you're not bad but not that advanced in the Japanese language?

Also you almost confused me, but yeah おまり＝あんまり right?

[Kisama001]

Sumimasen, watashi ha(wa) sukoshi hanashimasu, demo jouzu ja arimasen.

Sorry, I speak a little Japansese, but not skilled. (i.e. not fluent)

[Ido013]

thanks alot Kisama! （・∀・）

[JessicaHalo]

He says あまり not おまり. But あまり and あんまり seem to be the same thing. I'm only familiar with あまり, but I looked up あんまり, and their definitions are basically the same.

[Ido013]

oops I dunno how that became お when I knew it was a あ lol, actually I was confirming with him what a teacher told me （・ω・）

[JessicaHalo]

I thought it might be something like that, but I wasn't sure. :3

[18deadmonkeys]

watashi wa nihongo sukoshi hanashimasu, demo mada jozu jarimasen

[NagualElias]

hello fellow pimsleur learner!

[18deadmonkeys]

LOL, guilty as charged!

[mangek009]

Hehe, hey you guys. ;)

[AlmightyAtheismo]

Another useful phrase when you're a beginner is:

Onegai, motto yukkuri hanashite kudasai.

(Speak slower please)

[XxDarkDiazxX]

Awesome this lesson is great for me since i'm a beginner as well. Thanks for this video man. Oh and I see DC's joke of the american chamber of commerce is slowly expanding haha nice.

[commodore256]

CERCL'd!!!

[bell02]

that is a really good compliment she gave you! Youtube is filled with very cute animals and pets with millions of views, very few people can compete!

Also I've been thinking about this for a while and you must really, really love teaching because the lessons you are giving people for free usually are the same quality people pay a pretty penny for. I wonder if viewers know how valuable these lessons are?

[zeroarashi]

Sankyuu for the bideo~ <3

[JimmerSD]

When are you going to start sending me my royalty checks for this? I gave you this idea over nachos and beer! ;o)

[klynik]

Really helpful lesson Victor. Thanks. The Amurikan Chamber of Commerce approves this masage.

[bobert59]

I realized that I hadn't spoken to a native Japanese person until about two months ago when I was a volunteer at a language teachers convention. I've been doing self-study for about 2 years, on and off (許してください！), and I was blown away by the fact that I could understand and answer what the Japanese professor was asking of me.

ごめんねけど I needed to stroke my ego for a minute =]

[TheDutchGaijin]

Once again, cool video. Amurikan? アムリカン？

[Gimmeaflakeman]

It is purposely wrong.

[Supergirl941]

I like your Kenny mug.

[TAz69x]

Often times I find myself utilizing the romanized alphabet to pronounce the romaji versions of Japanese; is there a good method to learn to speak or use the palette of Japanese so you don't appear to have a strong accent? Perhaps some special enunciation techniques?

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Hmm... good question. Must think.

[JinTakumi1]

Just practice the pronuciation(if I spelt that right) and read the kana charts.

The pronunciation you'll use for all Japanese words are:

A(ah)

I(e)

U(ew)

E(a)

O(oh)

I hope this helps.

[eirinbe]

Aaah, yhea I'm a moron. Check out my hat.

[percast]

Thks for the lesson ^^ !

[crazywoodlouse]
