Japanese Lesson 15

Ari-masu and I-masu.
In this lesson we're still slightly bitter your house is better than mine. We learn that the Japanese home architecture is not functional, and how to woo a lady robber.

I think I jumped the shark.

-----------
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.

"hito ga heya-no naka-ni mae-no watashi-wa uchiki desu"

the man live in the house in front of my house

is it correct? i think the "naka-ni" is either in from of "heya-no" or the back of it...

it would be great if someone cleared this :)

[takineko]

@GenerationDarkness "Ano hito-no heya-wa watashi-no heya no mae-ni ari masu."

[GenerationDarkness]

omg i finally figured something out after my brain almost melted...

you use "sono" in a way like "sono Subject-wa.."

-while you use "sore" like "sore-wa Subject"

[takineko]

Can you please make a video with only exercises going over everything we've learnt so far? it would help.

At 3:18 when you wrote ''(or persons)'', shouldn't you write ''hito-tachi-ga'' or ''hito-jin-ga'' for plural? Just asking 'cause you hear -tachi or -jin added for plural.
