    First rule: Important verb goes at the end Second rule: Everything modifying the noun would come before it. Third rule: Ommition (You can't ommit anything but you actually would omit everything) Forth: Sentence invertion - Master particles (They would save you so much missunderstanding) This being "I went to Jack's house yerterday to watch a movie" and "I went to watch a movie to Jack's house yesterday" would mean the same but the nuance that the listener gets on their head would be slightly different deppending on the order you expose it.

    Leaving some feedback bud! Very impressive production level for first time videos. Your audio quality and transitions are seamless. The animated graphics are more than adequate to rival channels currently boasting extremely high viewing numbers. Yeah, I'm sincerely blown away that these are your first or that you haven't had prior experience speaking on camera (my uneducated guess would be that you have though 😅). Thumbnails and main page layout are beautiful and the effort put in shines through. Those aspects aside... the content is seriously useful and encouraging to your target audience. Looking forward to more! Just want to offer a quick note that may widen your potential audience retention. I'm aware that most of the world's interest in learning Japanese stems from anime, which I'm sure we all agree is fantastic for the future growth of the genre 😁👍. There does also exist a massive community of us that have undertaken this new language learning journey via our passion for 80s and 90s Jpop artists. Slipping in a reference or mention here or there may go a long way towards drawing a larger portion of new viewers into hitting that subscribe button. Keep up the wonderful work and wishing you the best in regards to your immigration into a whole new country and culture. 👋😁

    I'm truly surprised these were your first videos on camera, you definitely have a knack for it. We'll all be tuning in for the entertainment factor alone 😅. Well, since you asked where to find those communities... I'll take the opportunity for some shameless self-promotion 😊. This is my personal account but I have plenty of links on my channel wall and banner that link to Facebook groups and pages like Moritaka World: Chisato Moritaka Fans International 「森高ワールド 森高千里国際ファングループ」, Idol Crisis Official and more where I have a combination of Editorial, Administrative and Moderation roles. That's a solid place to start as you'll quickly find that we have a wonderful relationship with many other fan groups of similar artists from the same time period (many are suggested right in our feeds). Most are based in Japan but it's a global community of respectful and passionate fans. As in... a ton of lovely people who are either learning Japanese or considering the idea of giving it a go. It's a warm and welcoming community so I'm sure you'll like what you find there. I myself had no intention of beginning this journey of learning another language. I just sort of fell into it and my want to express more than what a few simple phrases would allow led to sticking with it. From my limited experience so far... I'd like to submit that the amount of time folks spend watching and listening to these artists (actual people and not simply the audio voiced over animated mouth movements) puts them at an advantage and should prove to provide a larger percentage of return viewers on a regular basis. I'm not stuck on that opinion but I do spend a lot of time between both communities and the difference can be striking to see in action. Simply put... people will watch even their favorite anime content maybe a handful of times? Or maybe watch through every few months or so perhaps? The music crowd will put their content on repeat and often listen to the same songs hundreds of times if not more, taking in the same commonly used phrases and inadvertently mouthing the words over and over until the sounds of the lyrics become second nature. What's more, they spend so much time dealing with names and searching for more music that when that kanji brick wall pops up it's not nearly as intimidating because it's already part of their everyday routine. Oh! When the music isn't on, guess what many are doing? Watching anime and taking in even more 😅. Okay, I've written enough to fill the comment box by the look of it. Feel free to visit over on Facebook. I'll be here for the next upload no doubt! ✊😉

    Thank you for another one such a great lesson/video! 🤩🙏 It's both fun and informative, and, of course, very useful! Saying that particles will ruin our lives, haha, so true! 😂😂👌 I'm just a beginner in learning Japanese but for me the hardest things at the moment are kanji (just started learning) and particles 🤔 Buuut practice makes progress, right?! So I'll befriend those particles and kanji, I'll do it for sure!! :)) Btw, I was sooo surprised to see that there are 188 particles, whaat!? 🤯 About feeling what particles to use - in some of my cases, it's similar to English (it's my 2nd language). So I get what Japanese people mean by that! 😁👌 I loooove that you share free resources in your videos!! 🤩👏👏 Overall, I'm so happy to watch your videos, so keep it up!!! 🤗👏

  • @TokuyuuTV

    I would say that you should work through an N4 anki deck everyday to slowly chip away at it - even just 15-30 mins a day would really help improve your vocab! You could also make a custom Anki deck to add vocab that you hear or see in different contexts so you can review and learn them. I would also suggest that you keep steadily studying kanji - even 2-3 a day (plus review for past kanji) would be a great pace! While you study kanji, I also recommend that you associate key words that use that kanji (e.g. Kanji: 事 Key words: 事(こと, thing), 事実(じじつ, fact)). This way you can learn new vocab while learning new kanji, and associating kanji with specific words helped me remember the kanji’s meaning as well!! Hope this helped 🥵

    The main secret I would say is to not look at them as in any way being related to each other. Think of は as just setting the scene/providing the context for the sentence (it tells you nothing about what is doing the verb or how/where it is done or what it is done to). It just tells you "this is the thing I'm talking about (not some other thing)". が logically connects to the verb (like を, に, で do) I like Cure Dolly's explanation of が and the subject in Japanese. Basically imagine that there is a が (subject) in every sentence even when it's not stated, in which case the subject can be thought of as 'it'. That 'it' can often refer to what was stated in the topic (は) which is where the confusion that sometimes は indicates the subject comes from (it doesn't, が does that, even when no が is stated). Further confusion around が comes from it's use in indicating hopes, abilities, or preferences (ゲームが下手 means "(I'm) bad at games" not "the game is unskilled") or how when a verb is made "passive" (it's not actually passive) the が seems to indicate the object instead (it doesn't, it still indicates the subject, think of it like the sentence "the bread got eaten" where "bread" is the subject doing the "getting" (in Japanese the difference between: パンを食べられた and パンが食べられた is in the first one "bread" is the object of "eat" and in the second bread is the subject of "got" (you can think of 食べられた as 2 verbs put together "eat" たべ(る) and "got" られた))) No grammar explanation is going to be fully correct or complete (or comprehensible without a linguistics degree), so listen to/read lots of Japanese until you build an instinct for how it works instead (after getting just a basic understanding that you can happily forget once you have an instinct for it).

    I was introduced to particles in a college class and the teacher explained how they work like this - English has prepositions. They go before words to show how they relate to each other. We go TO the store. I walked FROM my house. Japanese has particles, or postpositions. They go behind words to show how words relate to each other. konbini NI iku. ie KARA aruku. Thinking about it that way has helped me conceptualize them in practice. For correct usage, it really does come down to constant practice. Maybe one day, I will achieve the "it just feels right" level of particles. Also, as a native English speaker who did very well in English class, I also sometimes just say "this way just sounds right" when someone asks me how something works in English. It doesn't help that English is a Frankenstein language. It sometimes feels like there's more exceptions to the rules than there are followers of the rules, lmao.

    That’s a really good way of describing them!! Definitely one of the most confusing aspects of particles is that they go after the word they modify 🥴 sounds like you have a natural skill for languages, so im sure you’ll start picking up the sense after enough practice!
