Beginner Japanese: drop the subject from the sentence
Advanced Japanese: drop the verb too
Elite Japanese: drop every word and just silently glare at the other person as if about to initiate an anime samurai duel

“When I learned Russian.” OMG... Knowing Misa-sensei it probably took her a whole week before she was fluent...

It's shocking that what you're doing is legal. I've seen paid courses which weren't nearly as good as everything you can find on your chanel for free. Thank you very much for all of this!

I just remember to foods "cookie" and "sushi" for conjugations. In Japanese they will sound like "kuki" and "sushi".
KU -> KI
SU -> SHI
This made it so much easier to remember this change for verbs in Japanese.

Don't give up guys, we can do this! Learn a new language is beautiful. I'm still learning English for a long term now, and recently I decided to start to learn japanese, not just because I love anime culture but I want to know more about japanese people and their manners, how their country actually is etc... I know that learning a new language is terrifying and you might give up but please think about on how many people you could meet and their culture or how many many amazing things you can live by expending your knowledge!
I hope you guys don't give up, me myself I won't cause I have a dream and to keep this fire burning I have to work hard and patiently. ( Btw I speak portuguese Wich is my native language).

Misa: "This is Shine, it is an ancient word of Force from the mist shrouded legends of yore - I am now giving you knowledge of this power, as my sensei did to me. But know that with it, comes great responsibility. You must never ever use it but for self defense!"

Filthy Frank: "The most savage way to end a conversation is called Shine. You're welcome."

Thanks for cheering us in the end

The ending really hit me. I've taken mini-hiatuses from Japanese due to not grasping a topic no matter how long I studied or trying to learn a bunch of topics too quickly. I heavily appreciate the pep talk, and I'll remember it (if not even anything from the actual lesson lol).

どうもありがとう、 みさ先生。

Misa: "Don't use 'shine', it is quite rude"

Me: Too bad I can never say the only sentence I know: Omae wa...

Love the new intro! And thanks for the video. Its basic but soo important

Misa: Shine is really rude you shoul say that to anyone.
Bakugo: SHINEEEEEEE!

Well I'm French, the conjugation is a whole other level xD
At least conjugating isn't the hardest thing in Japanese~
Thanks for this video !

This is the most concise, clear, and genuinely enjoyable language video series I've ever seen. Thank you!

THIS IS WHAT I NEEEDDDD

Now I want to hear you speak Russian.

Since you mentioned writing, I must say that using Duolingo and actually putting an effort it shouldn’t take much more than a week to learn hiragana. Same goes for katakana. It took me about a week to learn hiragana with a moderate effort while it took me 5 days to learn katakana since they share enough in order to make some associations. After that I had about 60-75% proficiency on both, now imagine if I had fully dedicated myself to it like an actual student. Japanese is only difficult once kanji starts being used because it is a third writing system without a limited character list and it pretty much serves as a second language in comparison.

The problem with learning Japanese is you're presented with 2 types of sensei:   those that teach the formal textbook style and those that teach "native" or very informal style. As a foreigner visiting this beautiful country and its people I would rather be seen as being odd or a beginner than come across as being rude or impolite. And forget anime, that will only get you into trouble lol.

These color coded subtitles are really helpful.
