Japanese Lesson 19

Past Tense with -Masu

In this lesson we learn never before seen innuendo, and newbs ask what a dutch oven is.

-----------
The lessons here are from:
Eiichi Kiyooka. (1953). "Japanese in 30 Hours".
Tokyo The Hokuseido Press.
I'm not affiliated with them in anyway, if they see this as an infringement I will remove the videos-- though I will probably post my own lessons, origional ones of course.

what book do you use for these lessons? I'd like to purchase it because your lessons are more useful than all my books in teaching me.  Please reply to this.

@TheDarkMindedOne In the description section I posted a complete bibliography of the book I used. Hope you can find it, it is out of print. Try used book places!

just noticed that you pronounce 'd' as a retroflex sound instead of the trill used in japanese.. hmm..

[takineko]

@FreedomValentine Did I mess up? How often do I mess up? I don't mean to, I might be doing it just out of a bad habit.

[FreedomValentine]

@takineko it's not wrong haha! it's just something that a lot of people who speak or learn japanese as a second or foreign language do because that sound is more prominent in their native languages. you've got a great explanation on the tense markers and your pronunciation is really clear, so good job!

[takineko]

@FreedomValentine Yay, I just don't want to be teaching all these people the wrong thing x.x

@catkac kaiyoubi is tuesday.

[catkac]

Would it be ok to answer ''Watashi-wa koyobi ki-mashita''?

PS: Koyobi is tuesday, yes?

You plan to reach 40 videos for each lesson? That's a great job from you! I think its a brave decision since you get tired from work! I hope to continue on teaching us safely ! :D
