Waku Waku Japanese - Language Lesson 46: I Don't Understand

[@ALLPHAZ]

I love how she switches from english to japanese, the difference in her voice is very noticeable. Thanks.

[@dragonballz0]

Erin, thank you so much for all the efforts and videos you've made for us to learn/improve our Japanese pronunciation. どうもありがとうございました　エリンさん。

[@joseroselli1034]

Well I know these videos are old but next year I am going to Japan and these videos will help me a lot. 💪👍

[@theEumenides]

I think I said this for the last video, but once again, thank you so much for having the kanji and furigana! The way that you break down the sentences is really helpful.

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

That's correct. But if you are talking to your Boss or someone older, you might not want to use "Naruhodo" to show that you get it or you agree with him/her. You'd say Soudesuka if you want to be polite and want to show them you understand.

[@dausalexandria]

Erin and Konomi are the best Japanese teachers i have ever had :)

[@bokuranoginga9699]

Thank you for the great Lessons very helpful

[@alden009]

Very helpful episode! Thank you Erin-chan!

[@plnarayanan3652]

Sensei ended this lesson beautifully with an apt proverb. Thank you.

[@fireberserker4659]

Thank God for this lesson I thought it was just me that has this problem! Thank you so much.

[@dragonballz0]

Sou ka is "ah, now I get it" or "ah, now I see" kind of expression, but with a slight surprised reaction. naruhodo is more used to agreeing with what someone is saying "I see what you mean now" or "I get it now" but means that you totally understand what was stated to you. Both mean the same basically, but used in slightly different sentences. That's mostly the differences. :)

[@PhsykoOmen]

when the video ended i just forgot everything and went blank and had to watch it again.

[@ピコアンパンマンツ]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RickAHyatt]

So well done, I must truly admire the artwork here.

[@dragonballz0]

Now that I think about it, I've always seen/learned Naruhodo used between fellow peers/classmates/etc. I don't recall seeing/hearing it used in a business setting recently (or in dramas). I've seen/heard "Soudesuka" used a lot in business dinners/gatherings environments (I think usually a kouhai mentions this, I remember). ^_^ Thank you for the insight, please keep up the lessons. ^_^

[@annie3190]

I just wanna learn Japanese because of Anime :| .... And it's cool.. The language and the letters..

[@swoopjockey]

souka means "i see." naruhodo is more along the lines of "that makes sense." as in, "why are you learning japanese?" "because i want to work in japan", you could reply "i see" or "that makes sense".

[@zulfiyakamenskaya5897]

thank you, Erin!

[@simbbam]

[@AndrewL]

[@DarkFoxV]

うらやましいです！ 「羨ましいです」　

[@splinterpro8374]

i like her acting when she said even you still not understand you say wakiramasen xD

[@dragonballz0]

Hi Angelica, there is an expressive difference between these 2, but its only when you use them, not in their meaning. "Sou ka" really means "ah, now I get it" or "ah, now I see" kind of expression. "naruhodo" means "I see" or "I get it".

[@DarkFoxV]

if it's just 'hanashite' it's please talk/converse. it's plain without something like kudasai, but it's not a strong imperative like hanase, with the 'e' ending. or nasai. it's closer to a request. you can also use that ending to form various sentence structures & several other tenses by tagging things onto the end! :)

[@candiceross2929]

please post a interview questions and answers for applying a job. thank you

[@bude8234]

Erin is my favorite Japanese name - so musical !

[@ClementOfRichmond2]

Is the "te" in hanashite the Japanese conjugation for imperative or inquiring? お願いします

[@GSBroker]

先生はかわいいですね。

[@thedocktor5171]

Soudesuyo. I hope I got it right.

[@justinrinehart7608]

[@PinkHorseManga12]

Thank you :D

[@SoulBane]

yes its standard. although i don't know what you mean by "Shi". it just sounds like "ki" to me.

[@omp199]

Am I just mishearing, or does Erin pronounce "ki" as "shi"? I noticed it twice when she recited that Japanese proverb near the end of the video. Is this standard Japanese pronunciation? It rather confused me.

[@simbbam]

今日も 一緒に 日本語を勉強しましょう "Today (also), let's learn Japanese together"

すみません,僕は日本語を学びています,もう一度お願い。 Excuse me, can anyone please tell me if thats right because that is how I would respond to people. I used google traslate and it didnt let me use 学(gaku) instead I could only conjugate 学ぶ(manabu). Please help. ありがとうございます。

[@footballartistn7463]

***** Erin first says konichiwa Erin Desu(good morning I'm Erin) and the next sentence I catch most of the words which will mean, now lets study some more japanese. At the end she says until next time lateeer.(The last word (matane) can also be see you)
