Your videos are so engaging that it's like I become interested in learning Japanese just from hearing you talk for a bit. I wish there was a you for every language out there.

Thanks for the lesson! I've been looking forward to this piece of grammar. Got some questions though; 早くなりました can mean both 'quickly became' and 'became quick', right? Is きれいに早くなりました a valid construction to say 'quickly became clean'? (Or perhaps 'cleanly became quick'?) And can you, in theory, also use the negative of an adjective? 早くなく動いています Does this make sense? Perhaps this last one is a bit silly, you'd probably just use 'slow' or いません. But who knows, there might be a context out there where this makes sense. Or perhaps I'll feel whimsical and just want to say it this way :)

"きれいに早くなりました" more context plz. it has 3 mean. 1. become clean, quickly 2. become quick, cleanly (WTF!?) 3. become quick and clean "早くなく動いています", this is so weird, but it work as "It moving slow". "早く動いていません" can mean "It moveving slow", "It stopped". you can say "早くは動いていません" for "It moving, but not fast". コンテキスト次第で他にいくらでも解釈できそうな気もするけど。 ややこしい言い方はいくらでもできるので、難しい事を簡単に言う方法を 練習した方がいいと思いますよ

I have a question about nuance, as a kind of followup to the 辛く example. How would you say "make the result X" (i.e. "achieve the outcome "result is X") and avoid implying anything about "make the process of making the result X"? For an example (though they may have a different idiom in this particular case), you could imagine sanding an edge of some woodworking project down. You might insist that they sand it so that it's clean and smooth, but the actual process of doing that could be a big mess. You don't care, you just want it to be clean when it's done. Unrelated: the bit at 19:30 is really funny. I have to wonder if that actually works. I feel like it wouldn't, at least if they speak English at all. They would probably get mad at you in English.

If you think about it, that's a very silly question you're asking. Do you want to pass the JLPT? Then you should know all of those words, even if you don't "find them useful." Do you just want to be able to read shounen manga? Then sure don't worry about office or business related vocab. Do you want to be able to understand the Japanese you might encounter if you live there or visit? Then you might have to learn a core high frequency vocab list, which contains words you might not find useful. EDIT: Also, think about this - you may *need* vocab that at first, you might not find "useful." This is something you need to figure out depending on your own needs, which George isn't aware of.

I guess that depends on where you draw the line. I mean, words like... uhm, 対流 - たいりゅう - convection (thanks Jisho!), yeah, go ahead and leave that one be. Unless you're a physics student or something. Personally, there are plenty of words I've put aside for the time being. My head can only handle so much at a time, so some prioritising is needed. But as people already commented, you can't know for sure what vocabulary you will be needing (I'm sure in the next episode of Fullmetal Alchemist they'll have a stirring conversation about convection :D), so I wouldn't make the conscious decision to not learn something.

The first sentence is informal right? Second, how do I say the word for two Parents that wasnt Oya. Third, cant remember what Kantan means and was the other sentence spelled Kantan ni Kannaite and vocab meaning for Kannaite and Kotaete and their original word form. Lastly, remind me the point of Naide and Te pattern for Kudasai Sorry for so many questions but I really been through a lot so I want to be on point!

iroppoku odoranaide "Don't dance sexily/sexy." is in fact the informal version of iroppoku odoranaide kudasai which is "Please don't dance sexily/sexy." Iroppoku odorimasen means "I/He/She/etc. will not dance sexily/sexy" so you can't use it to say that. You don't need o or を. Everything in hiragana: いろっぽくおどらないで。 いろっぽくおどらないでください。 いろっぽくおどりません。

Japanese grammar has nice and easy patterns. That's what I love about the language. ^^ But to be honest? I'm with George here... I wouldn't use ichidan/godan from the very beginning because there would be missing pieces for a long time! Especially the e-ending.

So I hope this was somehow understandable ^^

Oh I see what you mean, that the name "godan" doesn't make sense for japanese learners, so it's better to take something that the name itself will make us remember how it works, like u-verbs etc. That makes sense. I didn't know about this five steps thing, but you listed 5 inflections/forms, and there is more than that I think, like 踊らせる or 踊られる, so I would be a bit confused with that correlation. Also I think there were more types of verbs in the past. There was not only ichidan and godan, there was also nidan, sandan etc. Also, disclaimer, I don't speak japanese, I'm just a beginner. I'm just curious and interested in the teaching and learning of japanese in general.
