It's wonderful that you speak some Japanese as you teach without including subtitles. It compels a learner to actually listen and understand. Really nice.

Me: I must review for my calculus class also Me: 日本語 it is

[@NatiiixLP]

Took me a while to realize the meme format because 「noun + "it is"」 just sounds like a literal translation of 「noun + です」, so in my head, I thought of it that way.

Trust me, I graduated a year ago. You’ll get more use out of 日本語 than calculus

I LOVE how you said sentences in japanese before saying it in english, then for the group three verbs you went full japanese and i was understanding enough to get it haha

[@rkkoul]

Thanks to your lessons, I find potential verb conjugation significantly easier than it may have been otherwise.

[@JapanDaisukiTTS]

Miku sensei can you please do a lesson about the differences between kimochi, kanji and kibun. All of them mean feeling right? Can you also do a lesson about the meaning of jibun?

[@ashley88101]

This is my first miku sensei video but I really love the way she presents the material! I thought it was great that some of the lesson was taught in Japanese and had a test at the end... I subscribed!

[@taylordatuin9254]

Since I started watching your videos I have been practicing Japanese everyday!! Thank you for giving me the motivation I needed to get started once again!! I studied Japanese in middle and high school but forgot a lot of what I learned because I never had to use it. Your video lessons have taught me more practical Japanese than I learned in those 4 years of traditional learning. I am so grateful to you Miku Sensei!! Your hard work and passion to share Japanese culture and language with the world is so inspiring. Arigato from Seattle, Washington!!

Thank you Miku. I’m an elderly Englishman living in Wakayama ken and finding Japanese so so difficult. I enjoyed your presentation and particularly- the testing is so valuable. I read somewhere recently that testing is a vital part of the learning process. And a cute face into the bargain! John.

Few years ago i started learning japanese and taught myself the grammar first, but i still had lots on confusion in my head. Miku sensei makes those lessons so easy to understand that i feel kinda dumb now ahah. Very effective, concise and organized lessons, totally worth a marathon watch (especially this potential form, argh). 本当に助かった、Miku 先生。ありがとうございます。

[@Shinx7009]

This was very helpful! I'm about 6 months in my training and I could actually do the first couple exercises. The ones at the end I had a lot more trouble, but I was able to apply what you taught me with my background on verbs already. Thank you!

[@turt8560]

Miku-sensei! Could you do a lesson on 筈 (はず)? I saw your video on the difference between しっぱなし and したまま because I struggled with those two structures for a while and your explanation really helped a lot! I would've never guessed that the difference regarding that one usage was the connotation but now I know. I'm really looking forward to a lesson on 筈 (はず) since you explained しっぱなし and したまま in a way that was super easy to follow and understand. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could do one soon. ありがとうございます

[@mikurealjapanese]

[@ericabailey9002]

I was taught Japanese from a young age, however, I am not 100% fluent in it. That's why when I started taking a Japanese course in college, this potential form threw me off because I always practiced ら抜き言 when speaking at home. Thanks to your video I was able to clear any confusion about potential form, I appreciate it very much!

[@kayui648]

[@nickinlondon4644]

I think dropping the 'ra' is an excellent idea, as this prevents confusion with the passive tense.

[@gatedancer17]

Another way to say the potential is to say the dictionary form of the verb plus koto ga dekiru. I do it all the time because I can't always remember the potential form of each verb. My tutor understands it when we converse in Japanese, but she says it sounds odd and she wants me to learn all the potential forms. But it does make a good default if you can't remember on the spot.

[@legal040]

hi miku i'm really happy that you said the name of the potential form in japanese in the beginning of the video it can sometimes get confusing to study when i don't know what the forms are actually called in japanese, especially when i'm watching content that's entirely in japanese (like nihongo no mori for example) awesome video as always 💙

no wonder why they omit the ら

[@sailor5853]

The られる is not the problem. The problem is that if you grow up speaking English you won't have learned to pronunce that "R". That sound natural for me to both listen and speak that because my mother tongue is from a Latin family and have that phonem as most of them.

[@dannyardika9942]

10:14 can we say in potential way if this haven't happen yet?

[@user-ed4fv9nd3b]

With that last example, it seems like the correct particle to use is と, as in 今月は家族と会えなかった. After all, you couldn't meet "with" your family this month, not "in" them. I understand that this is just one of those weird quirks of the Japanese language that you have to get used to.

Thank you

[@Ockerlord]

The ga particle marks the subject, right? ---------------------- Alice sees - Aliceが見る Alice sees Bob - AliceがBobを見る Alice sees Bob with implizit subject - Bobを見る ---------------------- (1) Alice can see - Aliceが見られる (2) Alice can see Bob - AliceがBobを見られる // can we have to ga particles here???? (3) Alice can see Bob with implizit subject - Bobが見られる // so here wo becomes ga, right? // but wait, isnt that the exact same form as (1) ???? So we cannot differentiate Between Alice can see // Alice can be seen based on grammar alone, right? This seems weird because I thought we have a subject marker が to avoid ambiguity.

Hello Miku-sensei, is it possible to make a video about ていく and てくる meanings related to both time AND space?　ありがとうございます

[@andremelo8858]

Hi, Miku-chan, when I was in Japan I've used often "-ru kotoga dekimasus ka" to ask permition. Do this structure has the same meaning? Is it too polide or we can use in friendly conversations? Regards from Brazil!

[@カペラマヌエル]

Parece-me que para pedir permissão é melhor a fórmula 〜てもいい？(informal) ou 〜てもいいですか? (formal). [p.s.: se entendes bem a língua espanhola, experimenta ver os canais 'KiraSensei' e 'KiraVivo' no youtube. Além de vídeos sobre a realidade japonesa, tem muitos sobre gramática]

This might sound like a silly question (sorry if this has been answered before) but could you in writing omit some of these particles? Like with the Takoyaki part on the video with the が particle being omitted. I know some can be omitted in the spoken language but what about the written language? Or would it be too confusing if the written form? Great video by the way. ^_^ ありがとごさいます。
