Practice using ば, here!
I like this as this was detailed and to the point. Sometimes I just want to understand/refresh a concept and other videos are just too in depth or have a lot of fluff. Those videos have their place, but a video like this (while not a short), presents the content in a manner were it is still compact (i.e it is not spread out over 30 minutes of examples and anecdotes about the presenter).
I really like this series on Thursdays. Thank you for all that you do!

Thanks Andy for another great video. Could you do a video on interviewing in Japanese, with useful phrases, common answers, etc? Would be super helpful!

That's a great idea! It will take quite a bit of research and planning, so it might take awhile, but I already have some ideas on how to make it fun.
Ohhh and boom! 💥
Brilliant as usual. I wish my teacher explains in your style

Im studying n4 grammar now! Im a little confused with ば conjugation nouns and な adjectives for ば is just なら rather than ならば is that ok or do they mean the same?
このシリーズ名は「国文法の木曜日」か「簡単な文法」か「勉強時（とき）にANDY」か「ANDYの教室」と言ったほうがいいと思うね。 ビデオを作って有難うございます。

What is the difference between nara, ba, to and Tara. Why are there so many ways to say if. I somehow understand 'To' now but the rest confuse me. But the video was a bit helpful
話せれば夜と霧しないでください。
very good explanation, but I still can't tell difference between using this "ba" expression and "tara" expression

I think たら is used for な and い adjectives. It can also be used for (when/after/if) while ば stands for (if...then) conditionally Not the a professional but hope that helps

japanese people tell me that "if" is tara or nara. Something is wrong with this video

There are at least 4 different ways to say "if" depending on the situation. なら is the most situational, たら is the safe bet, and ば is generally followed by a positive outcome.
