//DISCLAIMER:
These lessons are based from the Minna No Nihongo (初級) Beginner textbooks. But even if you don’t have the textbooks, you can still follow along the lessons by just watching the video.
I'm currently living in Japan and I use Japanese at work and daily life. I’m sharing what I’ve learned from my language school and through self-study. I'm not a native Japanese speaker nor am I a licensed Japanese language teacher. I’ve passed the JLPT N3 exam and am planning to take the JLPT N2 test in the future. So if you find any mistakes, feel free to let know so that we can all learn together. Thank you!
//AMAZON LINKS:
I cannot find the links for first edition, but I found the links for the latest edition of the textbooks which are pretty much the same as the first edition:
LESSON 1-25
Minna no Nihongo 初級 1 Honsatsu (Everyone's Japanese Beginner 1 Textbook 1) 2nd Edition

LESSON 26-50

Thank you Ms. Rose for these Minna no Nihongo lessons per chapter. Sana po magkaroon kayo ng lessons na may explanations ng tagalog in the future. I took online 1on1 lessons before but because i was busy with work and financial problems, i had to stop so your videos saved me from reviewing the things that I learned from her kasi nakakalimutan ko na yung iba and I stopped at lesson 5. Kaya right now nirereview ko ulit sya. Maraming salamat po. I hope you keep making videos until the sa last lesson po ng book!

[@nickinlondon4644]

Aahhh! At last I understand why I keep mishearing the GA sound! At 7'27" you explain that it can be pronounced as NA - which is what I often hear and didn't understand. As if Japanese wasn't difficult enough, they have multiple ways of pronouncing it!!!! Thank you for explaining this. It's such a small, simple point that other teachers don't bother explaining it, and yet it is crucial when listening. Finally ....!

[@NihonGoal]

Ah yes, I remember the first time I noticed that too, it was from a song, the singer would pronounce "arigatou" as "ariNGAtou" hehe. 🤔 Anyway I'm glad that minor detail cleared your confusion. 😁

I'm amazed! I've been trying to find Minna no nihongo lessons from Russian speakers(my mother's tongue), but unfortunately. But thanks to you, I can study. I'm happy that's I can understand English (bad but anyway). I've added a whole playlist and made Anki cards for the first Vocabulary. It took a long of time to understand how to write Japanese and switch between catakana/hiragana by hot keys =D

My opinion, this is another proof that foreigners can explain language lessons in more organized way. I can follow her lessons well and improve my understanding in Japanese language system. I once followed a basic class by native speaker, I got dizzy and puzzled by what the native speaker said already. Probably native speaker should teach the conversation part later on after a student understand the language system/grammar development. Same thing happened when I had learned French in the past.
