Japanese Lesson 1

Lesson 1 from my book. After the explanation at the begining I kind of lose my mind when the Excersizes started. heh..
Let me know if you have any questions.
------------------
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.

I just wanted to say that three and a half years ago, I started learning Japanese from scratch on the Internet, and these videos were one of the things I used right at the beginning. I watched all of the ones that you'd uploaded at the time and they were really useful to me. Fast forward to now, and I live in Tokyo and am fluent in Japanese. Thank you, takineko. :)

@Azimuth1 Wow! Thanks so much for sharing! Yay success stories!

If you do one on accents, don't forget to mention that you use (as I call it) a neutral D sound, not quite an L nor an R sound, like you have rolled your R for only 1 syllable. Which sounds a lot like a D sound, which is why I have named it Neutral D.. no idea what others opinions are on this, I am not sure, just wanted to brag a little.

Good to see you use the D sound too :3

@CaveofTwoLovers You should do an instructional video on that

[takineko]

Wow just look at how many views this first one has gotten. I do plan to do more, I'm months behind, moving around and what not. Give me about a month or two, maybe I'll have everything set up at my new house. There are about 50 maybe 51 lessons total. I'm stuck currently on a really out dated lesson I might skip it. Thanks guys!

@dragonvalor9991 you would need to "ken hi no ryu" (no means of, or possessive)

Desu is pronounced D-E-S the U is silent

[dragonvalor9991]

may i ask a question if you dont mind, if i say Ken Hi ryu the correct translation would be school of the fire fist, or there would be any other form to say that. thanks for oyour help.
