is "ja" or "Ja ne" also a word for saying goodbye? 

[JapanSocietyNYC]

@hyunakiro Yes, "jya ne" is a very casual way of saying "see you"

[baloon2510]

"Matane" Implies you will see that person again, right?

[JapanSocietyNYC]

@baloon2510 Yes, matane is like a "see you later" and it's fairly casual

Thanks guys! There are so many great videos for learning Japanese...I'm really just blown away by all the free resources. Your videos, however, are just perfect for my 8 year old homeschooler. They are perfect in length and fairly non-intimidating. Please keep these coming!
