tomodachi is the right word for friend. nakama means "fellow member" or "crew member".

[@StarScythe4030]

This is such a good teacher for japanese ! 😀😄

[@JapanSocietyNYC]

The particle "ni" is used to indicate the place where a thing(s) or a person(s) is(or are) present and to mark one's goal or destination. "De" is used to indicate the place where an action occurs. In short, "ni" casts the sight upon a place, while "de" upon an action. In your example of replacing "de" with "ni", it wouldn't really make sense. But you were close!

[@TheDropdeadZed]

These are actually great as a previous-self teaching student. I learnt the language's structure and composition inside and out (at least to a beginner's standard, up to topics like -teiru, -teiku, 'must/must not', conditionals, 'te mo ii', that sort of stuff) but I could never (and still can't) reliably converse in the language since I spent too much time on grammar. These videos are great since they teach beginners actual vocabulary to use, plus the MUCH EASIER -masu form of verbs as opposed to the regular dictionary form of verbs. One thing I would love to see as a non-beginner watching your videos is Kanji for the words/sentences too. I feel like it's easier to understand the meaning of words as you progress into the intermediate territory and start to know what certain Kanji mean, as well as easier to break apart a sentence into its separate parts. But I get that this comment will make no difference now since these videos were made 5 years ago lol
