日本語はちょっとできます.ありがとうございます先生。I really liked this lesson, it was easy to understand. You are a great teacher.

[@YukoSensei]

I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson, and great job constructing the sentence correctly! 👍

I'm really grateful that i found your channel。 You really are my teacher. 先生　よろしくお願いします。

I have little tools to study japanese at home, i have a book on japanese writing, some books written in japanese but that's about it. Your videos are the thing that is teaching me japanese. Yes, i learned writting alone, and yes i can learn japanese words from the internet. But you have made me learn so many other things like particles, improper and proper speach and so on. Your lessons are easy to understand, easy to write down on paper, and fun. Thank you for all your videos that you put so much effort into. You do not know how much it helps.

[@YukoSensei]

Thank you for your heartwarming comment. This is such a rewarding thing to hear as a teacher! ありがとうございます。😊

Your video is excellent. Now I understand this sentence: 上司にきちんと報告ができる。2:42 Before watching your video, I didn't understand why 報告 has particle が instead of を.

Great job with the sentences! Just add です to the first sentence to be consistent with the speech style, and it's perfect. Keep up the good work! がんばってください。😊

Great lesson, thank you!

[@SusanEDurham]

Thank you sensei for these videos! they are wonderful! I have just started learning Japanese and I was very excited to come across your videos. I wanted to enroll in the complete course but I see that you are “retiring” the complete course. However, in other places in the course description it is said that sometimes courses are just shut down for a short period of time. So does this mean the complete course is being paused until you’re ready to take more students or do I take it literally that the courses will be retired and therefore not open again in the future?

[@YukoSensei]

Susan-san, Thank you for the positive feedback about my lessons! The complete package "retiring" means it will close its door to new students. Once you get in, you own the package and have unlimited access to its contents even after it "retired." Many students are already in the package and they will keep learning in the package next year and beyond. I apologize that I wasn't clear. I hope this clears things up for you!

Is it supposed to use (が) when we use できる??🥲 I see that all the comments used (は)!!! ، am I right ?

[@YukoSensei]

Both are correct, but the nuance changes. For instance, 日本語ができます sounds neutral, whereas 日本語はできます sounds more exclusive ("Regarding Japanese, Yes, I am capable but not other languages") because は in this context is a Contrast Marker. Please watch this Short: kzbin.info2ovcKSWae6M

Hi sensei

[@nhatrang8380]

Excuse me, may I ask one question? I saw this sentence in みんなの日本語中級 book, "本当に科学は人々を幸せにできるのだろうか”. I question why が is used instead of が after 人々? I would appreciate it if you could answer my question. Love your videos.

"日本語は（"が" じゃないですか？）少し出来ます"！いつものようにありがとうございました先生！

[@YukoSensei]

Shahさん, both are ok. 日本語が少し出来ます sounds neutral whereas 日本語は少し出来ます sound more exclusive ("Regarding Japanese, Yes, I am a little capable but not other languages") I hope this makes sense!

先生、ありがとうございます！I have been so excited for this course since I heard it would be released. ピアノできたけど今はあんまりできない。Informal ピアノできましたけど今はあんまりできないです。Formal ピアノができましたが、今はあまりできません。Formal writing One question, is it okay to remove the particle が in conversation like you do with the particle を, or does it sound strange? レッスンをありがとうございます。

[@YukoSensei]

roninさん、よくできました。😊 Yes, the particles を, が, は tend to get dropped in speaking especially in Informal Speech. (It's not the case when は is used as a Contrast Marker) Looking forward to having you in the new course!

7:26 I have a question why do you use できないです and not できません?

[@ronin6782]

I think that ないです is more conversational than ません。But in an exam, you should use ません, because ないです is technically grammatically incorrect.

pls can someone help.. A friend told me about a *ne ね which is used to mark SPACES* and she gave me an example: (that i cant translate fully 💔😔) *きょうはねあめがねたくさんねふってるね* but the *added ね's make it EVEN more confusing..* 😭 How do i know where *each word starts and ends* when i write/ read a sentence? 😭😭 And can i write it as: きょう は あめが たくさん ふってる ね i need spaces so i know where EACH WORD is

[@indigofenrir7236]

ね is a colloquial particle which roughly translates to, "hey", "right?", or "see?" and is used to check that you agree with the speaker's point (affirmation). You need to learn the grouping of the words in the sentence. In your example, 今日は雨が沢山降ってる。(It's raining a lot today), we can break it down into [今日は] + [雨が] + [沢山] + [降ってる] [きょうは] + [あめが] + [たくさん] + [ふってる] [Topic] + [subject] + [adverb] + [verb] [Today] + [the rain is] + [a lot] + [falling] The spaces in between are where you can insert ね. You will notice that the topic and the subject end with a particle. When breaking down a sentence, non-colloquial particles are always a part of the word before it. Thus, ね will be placed after. So you can't say 雨ねが降ってる。 Your friend is adding ね to make sure you got what she's saying, and it's commonly used by females. The English equivalent would be, "Today, get this... The rain, see, is falling, like, very hard, right?" If you use it too many times, then of course it gets confusing... and annoying.

[@PCs454]

@@indigofenrir7236 are you from Japan? C..can we be practice friends if you dont mind ? It is ok if you dont want to ;') my question is: "HOW ARE SPACES REPRENSENTED IN JP WRITING" cos right now reading is so stressful cos i cant make out EACH word: forexamplethisiswhatJPlookslikewhenitryandread.Asyouseem,ithasno"spaces",soitisveryhardtomakeoutwhereeachwordstartsandends

[@indigofenrir7236]

@@PCs454 You are writing with just kana without spacing because you are still practicing. It will look like this: こんやはだんごをたべたい。(I want to eat dango tonight.) That's why it looks hard to read. But with kanji, it will look like this: 今夜は団子を食べたい。There's a noticeable difference. However, you're probably still too early for kanji. For now, rather than struggle with kanji, you should learn what the Japanese of basic words are in hiragana or katakana so that when you read the sentence out loud, you'll be able to identify them. You should also write your practice sentences by spacing them properly while separating the particles, like this: こんや は だんご を たべたい。so you won't get confused.

[@PCs454]

@@indigofenrir7236 ty yes when i write, *I write with gaps between each word* like in english. but i see JP writing doesnt have spaces like english, so its like reading english without spaces does this kanjis help make out *where each word starts and ends* ?
