This tool is amazing by the way. Like it is goated beyond belief 😎💪

[@uzhukova]

I am all ears!

[@neilpersen]

JAJIsama always makes me feel good and think "hell yeah Im making great progress in my learning" but then when the video ends and I try to think something in Japanese it's like the brainless Patrick meme

[@kingatomsk360]

I'd like to see this as an app for PC or phone.

[@Dem1217]

This is a great tool. Great job to everyone who created this. I am sure it was your wife idea, lol.

[@UrzuOfMythral]

This is amazing !!

[@imadumas2]

Nice job on the verb tool!!!

[@JohnM...]

EXTREMELY HELPFUL! ありがたいです😊

[@martine5912]

Genius ! Thank you so much George for this great work. Have you ever thought to make an application for verbs ?

[@uzhukova]

I agree!

[@fitzshadow]

Great video 🥃 excited to check it out when I hop onto the site.

[@japanesefromzero]

It’s not on the site. This is just a local tool I wrote.

[@spiritsplice]

@@japanesefromzero Are you going to release it to the site? It isn't much good to anyone otherwise.

[@DDB168]

This verb lab is ingenius. It's a killer app, hope you put it on the website. You sing well George - well it didnt make my ears bleed, put it that way 🤭 Coffee spill ? Or nihonshu ?

[@damien69ish]

This is pretty great!

Wee need this song on spotify or soundcloud

What about a video on Causative form ?

[@asdvhoiwe]

ありがとうございます!!

[@ramontavarez7256]

The verb lab is amazing....is that on the website?

[@japanesefromzero]

It is just a local tool I created. For it to go on the website, it needs more work. But also I hadn't planned on putting it on the website.

[@ramontavarez7256]

@@japanesefromzero Gotcha I'm slowly getting more and more comfortable with these conjugations as I hear them and use them in conversation. But it was nice/helpful to see it this way. Thanks for the video.

You said 行けました, I couldn't go. Is that right? 5:27

Hi George. I've been a subscriber for quite a bit and I've always appreciated your ability to explain Japanese concepts. I passed the 日本語能力試験二級 back in '08 or '09 (it was before the test was restructured) but I haven't really had the chance to practice Japanese in over a decade. I was wondering what your suggestion would be to get started with. I used the 日本語完全マスター series back in the day and I've looked at the 日本語新完全マスター books for N1 and N2 but I felt those books didn't sufficiently explain the grammar concepts for me even though I could answer the questions correctly. I was perusing your site and was interested in getting some material but wasn't sure what would be right for me. Any thoughts?

[@FlorianBaumann]

I'm not George, so I hope you don't mind me answering. I like 中上級を教える人のための日本語文法ハンドブック. The book is for people who teach Japanese, but I use it for self study. It does not cover all N2 and N1 grammar points, but as long as you do not want to take the test again, this shouldn't be an issue. Volume 1 is for 初級. You might not need it, but I think it's helpful to have them both. And both books are completely in Japanese. I get what you mean with 新完全マスター. These books are more for repeating and exercising the stuff, but the explanations are superficial.

[@rukiichi85]

Question: is this tool part of your site?

[@GlaceonIce]

This seems familiar. Like I've been here before. 😎🤔🤭

[@uzhukova]

You are amazing!

[@FurinaBukanArchon]

て and た form use Silent Night? 😂😂😂😂

I'm still trying to get down the causitive-passive trilogy

Verb Lab! 🥼🧪

[@guigui78340]

i think you mixed up ichidan and godan in your thumbnail

[@japanesefromzero]

They aren’t in any order. I just placed them randomly. If they were in order it would imply that iru/eru verbs are also called “regular”. But I applaud your sharp eye. I probably should have paid more attention to the way I placed the verb names.

[@guigui78340]

@@japanesefromzero that makes sense i got stuck on the first two and didn’t even see the "regular"

[@StephenGriffith-j1d]

Woop woop! 👐

[@FlorianBaumann]

Huh, I thought the ren'yōkei is the closest to the gerund. But using western grammar terms for Japanese grammar is a no-go IMO. Btw: I call verbs like 走る chemeleon verbs. They are regular verbs in disguise.

[@japanesefromzero]

I absolutely hate the word “gerund”. I was just doing it as someone had “called me out” for not doing it.

[@imadumas2]

People calling people out on the internet!?! What’s this world coming to?

[@timgogolin]

I get why you don't like "ru verbs" as a classification system. But I find your system's "regular verbs" hard to remember, because there are "irregular verbs" (する, 来る) and in my mind, regular verbs should be all the verbs that are not irregular, and that's not true in your system. Did you consider alternates names, such as "common verbs" or "ordinary verbs", instead of "regular" which is not truly the opposite of "irregular" here?

[@japanesefromzero]

In “my” system we have the same irregular する and くる. Butる and う are bad naming systems. In all my years directly teaching I’ve never seen a student be helped by that naming convention. I’ll never understand why other books use it. My thought is one book did it and everyone else copied. I think the superior naming systems is not the one used in our books, but ichidan, godan because there is function in both names. Iru/eru has function in the name whereas “regular” doesn’t. As for “common” verbs, I don’t see how that is better than “regular”. Ru and U verbs are out of all options the worst one for most English based books to have copied in my opinion.

[@pussdesttoyer17]

@@japanesefromzeroI agree with your points. Additionally, the term “regular verbs” is something I’ve seen in every other language class I’ve taken (French, German, Spanish). It’s just the naming system used in linguistics when a verb follows the general pattern of conjugation.
