I appreciate how you explain how certain words or phrases would sound like. I always knew I shouldn't use 私 over and over again, but knowing how it actually sounds like helps put into a real-world context why not.

いつものようにすごく便利なビデオです。ありがとうございます、みさ先生。

[@liendatsun3689]

Really good video. Super helpful! Little note on the "a novelist and a poet" example; that can still refer to a single person the same way "a novelist and poet" does; "She is a novelist and a poet." Like in Japanese, context matters in English too. Usually you'd follow up with more information to clarify that it's two people through the use of words like they, both, them, defining them as individuals using "the poet" or "the novelist", etc., in further conversation.

[@ggbinogaming3768]

[@raquelfulgueira417]

this video is amazing, I strugle so much with particles, and in many websites I don't really understand the differences because they use a lot of technical vocabulary, instead of explaing it in a more natural or logical way. Thank you!

[@kmusic5944]

Litterally the best japanese teacher on youtube

[@shovvxa]

this video made me realize that my problem isn't particles... its vocab. -_- to understand particles, you need to have context ... *sigh* but I will admit, knowing that I got almost every single question right after a year of thinking that I was awful at particles is a really nice reminder that I'm making more progress than I thought. :) A lot of the questions, I just said out loud with the particles automatically because I've been hearing those same particles being used in similar situations by my teachers over and over again! So yes, friendly reminder that the brain stores much more than we think!

[@Codyyyyyyyyyy]

Awesome video, Misa. I really appreciate how you anticipated the common mistakes and tried to explain why the correct answer is the correct one. Keep up the great work.

は puts emphasis on what comes after が puts emphasis on the subject 犬は好きだ (I like dogs, but not cats) 犬が好きだ (I like dogs) が usually always goes with potential verbs：声が聞こえる が is used to describe physical features/where something hurts/one's fears -> 左手が痛いんだ (my left hand hurts) ~~~ vs ~~~ 左手は痛いんだ (my left hand hurts, but not my right) が follows question words like 誰：誰が窓を開けましたか が is used with a non-living object's action：電車が来る、パソコンが壊れた が is used for news： ナンシーが妊娠した（にんしん） へ puts emphasis on the path：東京へ行く (towards Tokyo) に puts emphasis on the final destination：東京に行く (to Tokyo) 外に indicates where something is：外にいる (someone is outside) -> Can also be marked by が：placeでsomethingがある ~~~ 東京でイベントがある (there is an event in Tokyo) 外で is used for action verbs where the action is being performed at the place marked by で：外で遊ぶ、外で待っている 二日に means on the second：ダイエットの二日目にマックを食べた (I ate McDonalds on the second day of my diet) 二日で means in two days: この本は二日で読み終えた (I finished reading this book in 2 days) を goes with verbs that indicate crossing something, such as 公園を歩く,　道を渡る も can be used for emphasis, such as 友達が5人もいます (I have as many as 5 friends) ~~ と conditional is used when the result of the action is always the same：カレーを食べると、おなかが痛くなる (my stomach hurts when I eat curry) たら conditional is used in the same way, but the result doesn't *always* have to be true：カレーを食べたら、おなかが痛くなる (When/after I eat curry, my stomach hurts) When connecting two verbs to say "and", you can use の normalizer plus と アニメを見るのと日本語を勉強するのが好きだ とか is less formal than や 日本とか中国とか韓国のような国 (countries like Japan, China, Korea, etc)

I love your videos. I think this is the most comprehensive education on learning Japanese from an English route.

[@Kntrabssi]

Misa sensei, I love you videos because they always help me think about things in a new way. You whizzed right by that point about “two” and “too” being homophones in English, just like に in Japanese, and they BOTH mean 2. That has saved me SO MUCH confusion with that particle, and also with the で particle. Thank you for your hard work!!

You are still the best, Misa-sensei. I tried watching other sensei's videos that explain particles, but I can't say they're as accurate as you are teaching this...and other grammar points. Thank you so much.

this was the clearest explanation about particles... I especially had difficulties with に and へ, but you explained it so clearly in such a short time like girrrlllll...

[@elizeugabriel2564]

It´s great when you are able to ''feel'' the sentences. I mean after studying for some time and you hear someone say 頭は痛いんです or 頭を痛いんです it just feels weird or wrong, I don´t know how to explain but for some reason even if you don´t think about the meaning of the が particle 頭が痛いんだです "feels" better. Great video Misa Sensei as always.

"Japanese Ammo" is appropriate; with this knowledge, I feel very well armed indeed.

Regarding the へ particle at 10:13, I wonder if there has been a moment in a TV show or something where a kid's mom asks where they went today and the kid says 学校へ行った, but they didn't actually go to the school, they just went in the direction of the school and then ditched and hung out with their friends instead
