Thanks Masa sensei. I just follow your series a week ago and I found your way of teaching is very easy to follow and understand, I will catch up the previous lessons. By the way, would you consider to have Conversation lesson? I would like to learn how Japanese speak / talk in a casual way (i.e. not in polite / studying form). Thanks!

Can anyone translate "Many Moves" (such as moving chess pieces or shogi) from English to Japanese for me? Thank you!

[@MasaSensei]

I would say " 動きがある " but depends on the context!

Nice video 👍 Sound is not clear but your explanation is well Hope it'll not happen in next video

Sorry for that! Next time will be ok!

Is it just me or does this video have a scratching sound in the audio?

[@John-nz8ov]

I gotta be honest, you absolutely lost me on the difference between てくれたおかげで and てもらったおかげで 😞 The English translations really look like the same sentence and I still can't see the difference. 😢 Actually, it's more like, WHY would I want to use one vs the other? In what situations is one more appropriate than the other?

[@MasaSensei]

I understand how the difference between "てくれたおかげで" and "てもらったおかげで" can be confusing, as they both express gratitude for someone's help. However, they do have subtle differences in nuance, which can influence when you might choose one over the other. 1. てくれたおかげで Nuance: This phrase emphasizes the *act of someone willingly doing something for you*. The focus is on the fact that the person took the initiative to help or do something for you. Usage: Use this when you want to express gratitude for an action that someone did out of their own will or kindness. Example: - 友達が宿題を手伝ってくれたおかげで、よく理解できました。 - "Thanks to my friend helping me with my homework, I was able to understand it well." 2. てもらったおかげで Nuance: This phrase focuses more on *the benefit or favor you received from someone doing something for you*. It suggests that you asked for or received a favor. Usage: Use this when you want to highlight that you received a favor or help, particularly when you requested it. Example: - 先生に質問を聞いてもらったおかげで、問題が解けました。 - "Thanks to the teacher answering my question, I was able to solve the problem." てくれたおかげで: When you want to emphasize the kindness or willingness of the person who helped you. てもらったおかげで*When you want to emphasize the benefit or the fact that you received help, often after requesting it. In many situations, either phrase could be used, but the choice depends on what aspect you want to highlight-whether it's the person's kindness or the benefit you received from their help.

[@John-nz8ov]

​@MasaSensei OK, I think I got it now. With everything we've been taught about くれる and もらう, maybe I'm just concerned about sounding rude if I use てもらった when I should've used てくれた, ya know? 😅 Thank you so much for taking the time to write all that!!! 😊
