I moved to Japan in August (around Osaka area) and I feel like a Martian a lot of time (like Midori!) Because my Japanese isn't very good. Thank Japarrot for making these amazing videos, they help me so much as someone who likes making illustrations and learning Japanese ☺️👽

I love how funny these are! Focusing on listening can get really intense so it's nice to break that up with jokes.

[@Kyaro8888Cari]

That was great! それはすごい。大好きです！ I laughed when I saw the martian cook asking Midori if he was a martian. That was so fun! And funny. hehe ありがとございます。

[@burjalmadre]

Your boyfriend is lucky man to have a partner who loves to learn Japanese with him!

[@burjalmadre]

I've been studying Japanese for about 100 days now. While I definitely couldnt understand the whole conversation yet without waiting for subtitles, Im just SO SO happy I was able to understand a good chunk of it, especially a lot of the vocab and some of the verb conjugation, etc. I absolutely LOVE Japanese and Japan. My life dream to move there and work and stay for a good while if I can someday... and assimilate as much as possible into the culture.

[@iMissAlice]

I love the alien language!! Arigatou for creating such amazing and helpful videos!

[@madbone3816]

I'm glad KZbin recommended your channel. I am learning Japanese (only 10 days in) and am watching a few video stories to complement my lessons which are slow but at the right speed for me. So I understood almost nothing here but it helps to hear how the language is spoken, see words in context, and hear the explanations on language and grammar. I'll keep returning to your channel to hear more Japanese stories and hopefully, one day, I will understand more. Thank you!

[@elisabethohk4989]

Please could you share what other resources you’re using?

[@madbone3816]

​@@elisabethohk4989 Sure. I am using Duolingo for lessons vocab and introduction to the language, and complementing it with Tae Kim's Guide to Learning Japanese (this is a well-known resource that has step by step lessons, general guides and tips). For immersion and also general language and grammar tips, I use Japarrot and JapanesePod101. Finally, for writing, I use Tofugu as I find their lessons better than Duolingo (they also have a quiz site I use to test my Hiragana). Tofugu is also really great for learning more about Japanese culture and society. When I feel more fluent, I will try online lessons with a tutor, such as on Italki or LiveXP (not sure which one but I have friends who have used both and recommend them). Hope this helps!

I love these!!!! Best way to learn in my case versus memorizing vocabulary. Sometimes, you just fake it until you make it... I don't wanna think about making profound sentences, I just wanna get by with everyday interactions. Also, great job on the story! Informative, and entertaining. As a poor person, I was panicking for Midori-san on how they're paying for their meal!!! Glad it all turned out ok! :) おつかれさまでした!!!

Thanks for this amazing lesson!! I really appreciate these as immersion is the best way to pick up any language. I have a question though, at 9:17 they say お願いします without で infront of it, is this because the question didn't include a choice like "Would you like option A or B?"

[@Japarrot_LetsLearnJP]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! 🙏 Regarding the word 'で', your understanding is absolutely right!

[@yumechuu]

@@Japarrot_LetsLearnJP Oh okay, thank you!

[@pemadhwaj9120]

So nice 👍 More videos Onegaisimus 🙏

[@anna8282]

Thank you for the video! 😊🌻 I would like to ask about the usage of "と" as "or" in the choices of this or that in this video ("ホットとアイス" etc).... usually "or" is taught to be "か" and "と" to be "and". Why the "と" here for "or", and how to know which one to choose?

[@Japarrot_LetsLearnJP]

Thank you for your question! 'N1とN2、どちらになさいますか？' uses the similar sentence pattern you learn in N5: 'N1 と N2 (と) どちらが Adjective ですか' ( Which one is more Adj., N1 or N2?) i.e. 東京 (とうきょう)と 大阪(おおさか) と どちらが好(す)きですか。 (Which do you like better, Tokyo or Osaka?) This sentence pattern is often used when you ask someone to choose between two things (N1 & N2), with the accompanying interrogative 'どちら'. The second 'と' after N2 is often omitted in the conversational Japanese, but the sentence with 'と' is the grammatically correct one, and you see in the textbook. You can remember that when you use the interrogative' どちら' (used when comparison is made between two things), you will use 'と' to mark 'N1 and N2' (options to be chosen). 👍
