Is it true that there are only 6 letters in the chinese/japanese alphabet?

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Where did you hear that?!?!?!?

Great vid, great tips! I think Hikosaemon sensei has another subscriber!!

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Good! This guy is really smart!

Hey there, "chotto" gets used a lot at the start of sentences. It has an effect of making the sentence softer. "Chotto, ashita umi ni ikou to omotteiru" = I'm just/kinda thinking about going going to the beach tomorrow. Leave it off and you make a firm commitment - adding it makes it more vague and non committal, which is quite common. Getting a feel for the context and how you hear it is more important than a translation - this is actually a hard word to translate I think , but very important.

say you were writing something, would the "fillers" be added in?

@kmah88

Many people say Jaa.. one of the most common times is when you want to say goodbye.

[kmah88]

i had another teacher that would always say "jaa" to get back on topic if she wandered on to a tangent or to switch topics (like how in english we say "anyway...." . do a lot of japanese people use ja? i've never really heard anyone else say it.

[kmah88]

my university class teacher would always say "souuuuuuu sou sou" when someone asked a correct question ~ so cute

"yappari neko kamoshiranai"(?)
