incomplete list of timestamps (to be continued) ^ = footnotes 1:22 - "A is B" sentence structure 4:07 - forming a question with か (ka) 5:15 - "Yes, that's right." 5:50 - "No, that's wrong." 6:50 - "this," "that," "that over there," "which one?" (kosoado words 1) 8:24 - "What is this?" 9:46 - "What time is it?" 11:01 - "It's [time] o'clock." 13:12 - "Where is" sentence structure 14:48 - "here," "there," "over there," "where?" (kosoado words 2) 16:20 - "Excuse me. / I'm sorry.^" 17:45 - "[blank], please" sentence structure^^ 19:22 - "I am not" sentence structure 21:20 - "A was B" sentence structure 23:05 - "There is a [blank]/I have [blank]" sentence structure 25:35 - denoting existence of animate objects 27:08 - "I like/love [blank]" sentence structure 29:05 - "I hate [blank]" sentence structure 30:05 - using i-adjectives 31:58 - using na-adjectives 34:01 - negative i-adjective forms 35:29 - negative na-adjective (and noun) forms^^^ 37:12 - past-tense i-adjectives (warning: the video seems to start having graphical glitches here) 39:08 - past-tense na-adjectives 40:53 - word order (graphical glitches end) 42:28 - topic- vs. subject-prominence 44:09 - omission of the subject 46:41 - using action verbs 49:25 - using the direction-marking particle へ (he) 51:15 - using the particle で (de) to mark the means by which one does something 52:13 - forming the formal present negative tense for verbs ("ます" ("masu") > "ません" ("masen")) 52:50 - forming the formal past tense for verbs ("ます" ("masu") > "ました" ("mashita")) 53:51 - "didn't [blank]" sentence structure (polite/formal) 54:58 - sentence structure for extending an invitation 56:04 - sentence structure for extending an invitation/making a suggestion or proposition (more formal)^^^^ 57:20 - informal (casual) verb conjugation (+ explanation of class-1, class-2 and class-3 verbs) 59:35 - informal (casual) negative verb conjugation (don't/doesn't) for class-1 verbs 1:01:40 - informal (casual) negative verb conjugation for class-2 verbs ^ - variations on "gomennasai" are more commonly used to say "i'm sorry," especially in casual settings, although "sumimasen" can be used to mean "excuse me" _or_ "i'm sorry" when talking to authority figures or people you don't know. ^^ - the structure "[blank]をください" ("[blank] wo kudasai") is, mostly used when asking for objects, while "onegaishimasu" is more common when asking for intangible things or in more formal settings. you can also use the construction "-te kudasai," using the te-form of a verb, to ask that someone do a particular verb. ^^^ - one of the examples used is "元気" ("genki")--while this can be used to mean "fine" it can also mean something along the lines of "energetic" or "cheerful," and can be used to mean "fine" in the mental, physical, or emotional sense ^^^^ - as naomi-sensei demonstrates at the end, one can drop the か (ka) particle to make it more casual and straightforward; this permutation would be more accurately translated as "let's [blank]" as opposed to "shall we [blank]?" GENERAL TIPS: - "私" ("watashi") is used frequently in this video, and in any other material for learning japanese, as the first-person pronoun: the way to refer to oneself. while this is true--it IS a first-person pronoun--it's important to note that 私 has a feminine tone; it is typically used by women or by men in more formal situations, although there are exceptions to this rule. the masculine counterparts are "僕" ("boku") and "俺" ("ore"), where 僕 is seen as more polite than 俺: 俺 is usually only used in casual settings, e.g. talking with close friends - grammatical particles (such as は ("wa")) in japanese are so unlike any grammatical structure in any other language that they are almost always barely touched on and not really discussed in-depth, which i think is a mistake; using the wrong particle can change the meaning of a sentence drastically, or sometimes cause it to stop grammatically functioning entirely. if any of you have questions concerning any particular particles, please reply to this comment and i'll try to address it--i'm not even close to fluent in japanese yet, but i've at least become very familiar with the common particles

[@stephenchaboya2887]

For those who are asking, the dash used when using Katakana characters usually indicates that there’s an elongated sound when pronouncing the letters. For example: か－ is kaa

[@patricksteinsen1147]

nice thx for clarification

[@klemo2529]

but doesn't it only work with katakana characters? it would be カ─, not か─

[@tessadu4275]

I was learning fluently until 57:19 . After I searched more information, I learned that the ますform is not verb's original form actually. It's better to put how Dictionary form change into ますform at the beginning of verb part starts ( which is 46:39 ) , some advanced learner don't suggest learn ますform initially , but Dictionary form.

[@armyjiminsmallpepper5869]

ありがとう

[@climatechangeblues5055]

Hi! Your tutorial is most helpful. The only wish is that you would transcribe in English under the Japanese words, e.g. "home I will return". That way we can get used to seeing the exact words under the exact Japanese counterpart. Every website always has the English translation in a regular sentence versus the exact words unterneath the Japanese terms. Hope that this makes sense. It sure would make learning much easier.

Your course is very good for japanese learning beginer please go on teaching the end of course , if not they ' ll confuse in daily life because in real life they often omit some particle and short sentence.First time, I use in co worker they like and understand what I mean but they feel boring in my long sentence.You've to know who you speaking to what level because japanese verb conjugate five levels lower to higher if you use wrong level it's mean you not give them an honor. So take care when using .

Ahmed Debeiky I started with this video 7 months ago; I joined Japanese POD 101 and this is my study pattern: 1. I listen to my beginner lessons daily (4 same lessons for 2 weeks) 2. I study the vocabulary for the 4 lessons combined in my spare time 3. I also study the Hiragana and Katakana 4. I have a long train ride daily so I get to listen to my lessons 2 to 3 times daily. I try to balance the grammar and alphabet study during spare time. Japanese is so interesting; I hope you enjoy learning it as much as I do; it’s pretty much my hobby

So, how do you differentiate between "There is a Supermarket", and "I have a Supermarket"??

[@nate3452]

Context will help you. If the context makes sense as "I have.." then that is the correct answer. If the context makes sense as "There is..." then that is correct. If its still not clear by context, then generally there will be added information that you might learn at a later lesson. But for basic understanding, context is whats gonna help you figure out which meaning it is

It took me a few weeks to complete both videos, so dont think you need to complete them in a day. This will help you understand how to pronounce words, even Kanji! Its extremely helpful, and necessary to understand the Japanese language. Good luck friend
