Important Japanese Study Abroad Words 2

So I tried to add some more commonly-used Japanese words. I also tried to make myself more clear with the subtitles, although they are written mostly with Kanji and no Hiragana, so if you want to know the pronunciation of a certain word... just ask me.

Also, I am hoping to not have another 4 month break in between my videos that I will soon make.

Also, please ignore the stray bit of hair on my head, I need a haircut like whoa.

thank you so much for this :D where'd you learn japanese?

[JamieDanger]

thank YOU for watching. I learned Japanese in college. At the University of Montana, which has a really good Japanese program, if you're on the lookout for it!

Thanks again for watching!

are you sure its not イケル instead of ウケル？

イケルね means like "that works!" or literally, "that goes!"

[JamieDanger]

Um, I think that they mean two different things. Like you said, イケル means "that works," but ウケル, in modern Japanese slang, means, like, "that's funny."

I'm not sure, though. I just know what I heard around me when I was abroad, so, it could be different in different places, but I'm pretty sure it's used everywhere. I've heard イケル used, too, but in a different sense, I think...

Does that help? I don't think you were asking me question, but...

Did you self-study, or did you have a teacher o_o

[JamieDanger]

I definitely studied with a teacher. I really respect people who get results from self-study, because I don't have that kind of discipline.

Never use anime or tv as your main tool for studying Japanese. most of the words are very impolite if you use them to a Japanese speaker because the animes use alot of slang. also the voices are not what Japanese people actually sound like.for e.g if a Japanese was learning english from bugs bunny tv shows. you wouldnt go up to a native english speaker and say "errr whats up doc"

Shitsurei-shimasu - i think a better explanation would be it is used when entering another person's territory, like the example you used, entering a teacher's classroom.

[mzshineshine]

@sixcstring92 It can mean that, too. Unfortunately, I can't remember when the situation is that you say it to your teacher. I know like if you walk in their office or something like that you might say, "shitsurei shimasu," which is like "I'm being a burden." But then again, you can say it to someone of higher status when you're leaving too. @_@ Sorry if I completely confused you. Although I'm not that skilled in Japanese, it's what I've heard up until now. Formal either way, I believe. :)

[MangakaEmirii]

No, "shitsurei shimasu" kinda means, "I'm being rude..." :)

[sixcstring92]

i thought shitsurei shimasu was the polite way of saying see you later?

[emmythekittie]

ah, thank you very much!
