Vocabmas series is absolutely great !!!

[@BiGSmoke-.-]

I hope you are at a intermediate level now by watching her videos.

[@neosharkey7401]

On the eighth day of Christmas my sensei gave to me….

[@LyraiseTTV]

After visiting Japan for the Sakura festival this April, I've tried learning Japanese because I'd love to go back. I've tried learning from so many channels/websites/apps/books and yours is by far the best resource I've found. You explain things at the perfect speed, with relevant examples, and you always point out exceptions with words and phrases - which is SUPER useful to get into good habits. I've actually started going back to your very first videos and am writing each one of your lessons into a notebook and studying from them :) So I'm not caught up on any of the Vocabmas videos yet, but please keep making videos like this - they're so incredibly helpful! I hope you had a good holiday season Misa Sensei! ありがとうございます

[@JustClaude13]

For home study, I can also recommend the Japanese reader by Oreste Vaccari. It's available on Amazon for not too much. It doesn't require you to know any Japanese; it leads you by the hand through simple one syllable words and expands from there. Just make sure you're getting the complete collected edition and not the multiple volume parts. It really helped my studies.

[@vanessameow1902]

THIS👏👏👏

[@dr.wyvern4274]

Even if you are sick, you teaching to us Japanese, thank you 😊❤️

[@Kosumo73]

おめでとう

[@RustieMcHogg]

This has clarified a ton. I always thought the 'san' made it more formal. This has been super helpful.

[@mushintatsu]

Thanks for your lessons you're the best teacher and the cutest.

[@BiGSmoke-.-]

I hope you are at a intermediate level now by watching her videos.

[@jinbutsufumei]

Sincere gratitude for your wonderful daily gifts during the holidays - but please rest your voice now so that you are back on top form for our regular lessons in the new year! Oh, and you rock that new look! 💛

[@sophiel9729]

I’m going to miss this series ❤️❤️ it was amazing, thank you so much. It was extremely helpful and entertaining to watch ✨

[@Senseman]

Misa, thanks for this video! I've encountered several conflicting explanations of Chichi/Haha/Otousan/Okaasan, and my Japanese friends (Who speak pretty good English) have struggled to explain the usage and reasoning behind these different pronouns. You've cleared it up handily, as usual! Cheers for this whole Vocabmas series, and have a Happy New Year!

[@mntzsswg5835]

This is the very detailed Family Terms I've watched so far. 💕 And you're the only one who made me REALLY understand this formal and informal terms. Thankyou for all the effort. You're a great teacher. 💕

[@apeckx5090]

New year new hair colour? Looks good. This series was great Misa! I look forward to more of your comprehensive lessons in 2019!

[@elzbietagolubowska9081]

Your family is around the world ! HBD ! ❤❤❤

[@AYouTubeLady]

Please keep this vocab series going when you have time, was very useful! Super thankful. あけましておめでとうございます！ ！

[@norwoodleung8404]

Hi Misa, thank you for creating Vocabmas series. This videos are very helpful. I know you spend a lot a time organizing your content, editing these videos and entering the subtitles on the videos. Your passion and dedication truly shows on your videos. I started watching your videos for the last 8 months like Japanese for beginners series. I was able to learn Japanese around my crazy work schedule. My goal is to traveling all over Japan into the smaller cities and communicate to local people. My current my favorite city in Japan is Osaka. Also, thanks to your videos. I was able to meet local people with limited Japanese, now I made two friends in Osaka which we are communicating on LINE (thank you for your messaging and texting video). If you happened to visit back to Toronto, Ontario Canada. I love to thank you in person. I greatly appreciate all the content and videos you created.

[@kellerthepianomachine]

Yess I was just looking into this, thanks Misa Sensei!

[@Nicodegalloyo]

I’m sad to see the vocabmas go. It’s been super helpful, and having just a few vocab words a day has really made the material stick in my head better. Thank you Misa!

[@longsokunliza6290]

I really appreciate how you put color on words so I can easily understand the both languages words. ありがとう　せんせい

[@fusi0nX2]

Your videos are useful for my Japanese.

[@ericsurf6]

This is a very useful lesson. Thanks so much for making this Vocabmas series Misa sensei. You & Yuta are the BEST Japanese teachers on KZbin! Happy New Year to you. Best wishes to you for 2019.

[@BiGSmoke-.-]

I hope you are at a intermediate level now by watching her videos.

[@Reeseskitty]

I’ve really enjoyed these vocab lessons! Thanks a bunch :)

[@kirbyloz]

Thanks for your videos! I’m getting so much from them. You have a great way of teaching. ありがとうございます.

[@JoachimderZweite]

Wonderful! These end of year 8 special videos are such a treat and they are so beautiful. I wish you would do a video on your bookcase and its contents.

[@luismarquez3416]

I like your new hairstyle! rest your voice misa sensei

[@Lotti-]

みささんの動画はすごく役に立ちます。ありがとうございます。

[@pengpenge4463]

very useful video! I watched some of your videos and I think your video is the best one for Japanese learners! ありがとうございます！👍

[@stevengonzalvez1557]

Absolutely fascinating insight into the usage of siblings' names vs. onichan/onechan -trust Misa sensei to put her finger on the right spot!

[@TheNubrozaref]

Thanks for another vocabmas video! I like the stronger depth of field and brighter lighting on this one. Keep up the good work!

[@zb333zb4]

It's lots of vocab😄It usually took me a day to cover two vocabmass videos. But this time it'd be few days for this particular one. Anyway, thank you, Misa. You've done a great job! You always do great stuff. It's just our turn to learn all of that. Hope you're doing well, Misa sensei!

[@salvadorsarmiento2202]

Thx. For teaching us your beautiful language!! Greetings from Mexico!! ありがとうございましたみさ先生！

[@yosotattoo]

Soo cute! Kind and a great teacher! Thank you so much! Best wishes for this year and beyond!!! Xxx

[@gibsonfuentes8466]

[@gzxklair]

[@Ash-xi1hr]

when you said お正月に i was lost already haha! Listening and talking practice is so hard to come by in the UK Love your videos !

Thank you Misa-Senpai 🙏 My Japanese understanding is now tourist level, but with your videos I can feel myself progressing in the language! ^ ^

[@markespley8740]

Hello misa sensai. Great little series , very well put together and easy to grasp for my level of learning japanese. Have looked forward to each days video and have not been disappointed at your quality work. It saddens me to hear you are not well.😥. Hope you will be feeling better very soon !

[@fmboo779]

I hope you are not sick misa-sensei, if so please get well! As always thank you for the videos, it was great learning with you in 2018, and I hope to continue learning in 2019! ♥

[@karinalaw]

Great learning videos. Keep up the good job!!! Love your work ❤️

[@franmacgillivray1629]

Thanks for such an important and interesting series。 よいお年を

[@ivanalanis475]

Happy new year. Thanks for helping us with Japanese. I hope the next year find me here a bit more fluent in Japanese. Thanks a lot Misa.

[@xethanndonttryme6983]

It’s been 4 years how’s your Japanese doing

[@gehadattia3113]

This series was great 💜 Thank you 🌸 I hope you will make more videos for grammar , too 🌸

[@Zak-uw6jy]

this is really great !!! ありがとうみさ先生!!!

[@FloraTae]

Your hair looks so pretty. I love the color Misa!

[@derboss8734]

Thank you and Happy new year !❤️

[@oliviaknott9685]

Thanks so much for the videos. They're awesome! Also, I like the hair color 🤗

[@katharinahamann786]

Thanks for Vocabmas I've learned a lot of new words 💕

[@chichirinuriko20]

Misa your hair looks nice today. Did you dye it recently?

[@googavo1d]

髪の毛 or ?

[@BiGSmoke-.-]

I hope you are at a intermediate level now by watching her videos.

[@loryon]

This video helped me clarify a lot of things ! Thank you ! It's funny because I've already seen in manga male characters calling their mate/pal 旦那 I feel like in this context 旦那 means something like 相棒 and not husband... It's a bit confusing but anyway, thanks again for the video !

[@zb333zb4]

Also the second kanji of 主婦 "housewife" has the same part as in 帰る "return home"

[@_cherrychi_]

Wow your hair looks so good today! And thanks for the lesson teach💜💗👌

[@pantuflas_00]

Another nice lesson. ありがとうを授業! I have a great idea for your videos. It's about kanji (n5, n4....), readings of kanji and examples of using kanji in sentences. It will be so useful! =)

[@Macieks300]

I think it should be 授業をありがとう

[@wewjoj]

The Japanese word for mother is hilarious.

[@rcookie5128]

Thx Misa-san! That cleared up all the haha/okaasan thing! :)

[@rauruXD]

this was a fun series, thanks Misa :)

[@FranzLisztFerentz]

Thank you so much for your videos! I've been learning a lot!

[@TheMadnessangel]

本当にすごく助かりました！！ありがとうございます！！

[@zb333zb4]

家族 "family" was simple to me to learn, bc we've already learnt 水族館 "aquarium". The second kanji of 家族 and the middle kanji of 水族館 are the same. 家, when it stands alone means "house"

[@sailormotya]

Loved the vocabmas 😍

[@Sapphire_Jack]

Your new hair color looks great!

[@Dwight1295]

Very useful video as always! ☺️

[@JacobOvergaardMadsen]

みさ先生、ありがとうございます！ You're really a godsend for someone starting out on Japanese. 日本語を勉強するの好きです。You're part of the reason for this. :-)

[@LeoPloser]

Get well soon, Misa-sensei, best vibes!

[@Samurai_Kid]

Thank you for your videos ^^

[@74Ahly]

Get well soon misa sensei ❤️ happy new year 😊

[@polyky]

Super helpful! 😁

[@julienmayer9966]

I love the subtle Australian influence “mum” ❤️

[@hannahphillips655]

Lovin your new do!!

[@darling5103]

Happy New Yr sensei !!! Itsumo arigatou gozaimasu 🙏🏼😊

[@koolkdny]

In anime, I often hear characters call their mothers and fathers “父さん” and “母さん”, and characters such as Alphonse, from fullmetal alchemist, call Edward “兄さん” is it normal to get rid of the お and make ちゃん into さん while still remaining informal?

[@fuji3d_studio]

Yes, you can get rid of the "お" in the beginning for informal speech, it's just a honorific. Also Misa said that using "さん" is MORE formal, but it's not completely formal, あに is formal. Using さん or ちゃん depends more on your type of personality, since Alphonse is more respectful in general he preffers to use さん。

[@enriquezarate4842]

ありがとうございました、お疲れ様でした!

[@mat.phillips]

A great series, thank you. Go get some rest !

[@joebroadinjapan]

ありがとう みさ！よいおとしを！ I found an online keyboard! wooo! So happy! I really enjoyed this series!

[@martinvojir9573]

Thank you very much for vocabmas, your way of explanation is the best all over the youtube. Altrough, I have one question: How should I call my twin sister, if she was born 5 mins before me :D

[@drmilobo]

Really helpful video thanks

[@zb333zb4]

Also the first kanji of 夫婦 "married couple" is 夫 "husband", and the second kanji is the second kanji of 主婦 "housewife"

[@novextrance4498]

So in a lot of your videos you mention something you already taught in another video, I think it would be very helpful if you could put on a link in the video floating somewhere at that moment you do so, so we can press on it and be redirected to that lesson you mentioned. This way we would never stop watching your vidoes and flow from one video to another forever !O.O since you mention lessons in almost each one of your videos, which is great! right? for us and also for your viewing number (: Just a small suggestion, think it would give a nice push. Thank you for everything your doing, it does help a lot! appriciate it

[@Lerien00]

Great video!

[@way650919]

Happy New Year Misa sensei !!

[@imbir1615]

ありがとうございました、先生! There're so many ways to call family members in Japanese... I'd like to also know difference between "兄貴"、"兄さん" and "兄上".　 I was surprised to find out that you can use words "お兄ちゃん"　or "お姉ちゃん" when you are talking about your friend's sibling. I used to think it's rude. Thank you for video!

[@annadubowska2970]

In one anime I've heard one character calling his own mother おふくろ (not sure if I spelled it correctly). Can such a word be used in the real life or is it only the anime thing?

[@chingfrumog6488]

Thank you Ma'am!! It's nice video.

[@redheadgrl31YEA]

Vocabmas was fantastic! Also did you change your hair? It looks great!

[@RapidBlaze89]

あなたは素晴らしい先生で、私の日本語を手伝ってくれましたありがとうございますあなたもとても美しいです

[@kunstderfugue]

みす先生、お大事にしてね！良くなるといいですね！

[@tanqingmey]

本当に　有難う！

[@chosspenafiel7185]

It is a lot to process lol but the lessons was excellent!

[@anyamakarenko2987]

とてもいいです

[@dynamicjaethought7788]

It's like in Philippines we call our older siblings Kuya(for older brother), and Ate(for older sister).

[@anthony1q96]

Saludos desde Perú. thank u.

[@Chan_Fry]

So I learned from this that I also don't know English very well. (I thought "mum" was a flower - we used to buy mums for high school events in the 1980s... Now I know it can also mean "female parent".)

[@RobertHeslop]

ありがとうございます！　今年は私の日本語をもっとしたい! ^^

[@pepperoniipizza]

めっちゃおもしろいですね。どうもありがとうみささん🙌

[@paulhimsel4838]

Thanks👍✌

[@ap1curry]

what do you say if you have two or more older brothers (basically 2+ of a sibling in the same category younger/older brother/sister)

[@petresgaminghaven8766]

Do guys refer to their family members by ちゃん as well? Great video by the way ありがとうございますみささん！

[@nolifeboy3174]

why does the reading for 母 change from はは to かあ？ im confused because i thought that the readings of kanji only change when another kanji is put next to it?

[@hirosam8339]

great! ❤️

[@therealhardrock]

Anime characters also use "okusan" in place of a name when talking TO someone's wife (In Detective Conan, Kogoro often calls the wife of a murder victim "okusan"). Same thing for "Okaa-san" when referring to someone else's mother (in Gosei Sentai Dairanger, Rin calls Kou's mother "Okaa-san"). Kids in anime and tokusatsu also universally call all younger-looking older people "big brother" and "big sister" and older looking people "aunt" and "uncle." Also, many women in anime get offended by kids and teenagers calling them "oba-san." Anime characters also use "musume" as a generic for sexy young teenager girls and women. And what about characters who say "chichi wei?" Also in anime, some characters just say "Kaa-san" and "Tou-san" for parents or "Baa-chan" and "Jii-chan" for grandparents.

[@jiiotus]

I'm old man from the internet so I call you Misa-hime. Red is also nice haircolour. Hopefully I remember even half of these . Have a great new year to you too.
