- 1144 - More Hou
Today we are talking more about the word Hoh, and the phrase Hoh Gah Ih. This is almost always used with past tense. “It’s better if you…”
Tue, 06 Apr 2021 - 1143 - More Yori
Today we talk about when Yori is used, how it’s used, and when to use it by itself. There are multiple versions of Yori and I go over differentiating between them.
Mon, 05 Apr 2021 - 1142 - Hou Ga and Yori
Today we’re going over two different grammar points, which are Hoh Gah and Yori. We use these in contrast to each other or in a phrase. I explain how to use both of these and how to distinguish between them.
Fri, 02 Apr 2021 - 1141 - Auxiliary Word Beki
Today we’re talking about a very similar word to Hazu, which is Beki. This word is often paired with Dah, such as Beki-Dah with the accent going downward on Dah.
Thu, 01 Apr 2021 - 1140 - Hard Musts vs Soft Musts
Today I will talk about the word “Hazu.” This is basically the first and most simplistic of the musts or shoulds in Japanese. I give examples and definitions.
Wed, 31 Mar 2021 - 1139 - Appropriate and Unique Responses
It can often be difficult for new and even intermediate Japanese speakers to come up with the appropriate response to certain questions and sentences, so today I am going to provide you with a few unique responses you can use that will help you sound more fluent and native.
Tue, 30 Mar 2021 - 1138 - Dou
This word usually indicates a question and today we will be diving into how to use this word and the difference between this word and another word similar to it.
Fri, 26 Mar 2021 - 1137 - The Adjective Hoshii
Today we’re talking about another adjective that indicates desire, but alongside that showing of desire, we want to do it over a particular item. I talk about Hoshii Garu and Ga Hoshii.
Thu, 25 Mar 2021 - 1136 - Garu
Today we are going to be going over Garu, which is over somebody else. In Japanese we often talk about area of information, which basically is who can say what. I cannot say that you like blue, but I can say I think you like blue. I give examples.
Wed, 24 Mar 2021 - 1135 - Auxiliary Adjective Tai
This is when we take a verb and we attach an adjective part to the end. Like the word Nai. To not eat is Tabei Nai. Today we’re doing something very similar and talking about Tai.
Tue, 23 Mar 2021 - 1134 - Another Phrase Using Koto
When using Kotoh it’s a nominalizer so everything before Kotoh is modifying Kotoh. Usually with verbs we’re going to see things ending in base 3 or base Tah, which is usually past tense or present tense. Today we’re talking about “Kotoh ni naru.” Naru is a non volitional act.
Mon, 15 Mar 2021 - 1133 - More About Koto
Today I go more in depth into Kotoh. We go over the phrase “Kotoh gah, Dekidu.” Using phrases to simplify bigger ideas or sentences.

The phrase “Have you ever…?” is what we will be going over today. I explain how to ask this type of question and give examples.
Thu, 11 Mar 2021 - 1131 - Mono, Koto’s Twin
Monoh is a physical thing, and used like when you say “It’s on the tip of my tongue.” This is used like Kotoh, but has to be used with tangible things rather than intangible things.
Wed, 10 Mar 2021 - 1130 - Tangible or Intangible Things; Koto
Kotoh means thing, or what. In this episode I describe another way to overcome those moments when you can’t think of the right word or words to say. Instead of using filler words, this method has to do with describing the action or thing that you can’t think of.
Tue, 09 Mar 2021 - 1129 - -Ba Yokatta
Today I will discuss this base 4 phrase. This base is a very simple if, having clause A and clause B, the two different parts of our sentences, being one contingent upon the other.
Mon, 08 Mar 2021 - 1128 - Full Review; Bases and Base 4

This is a particle to make things ambiguous, which often refers to things such as “et cetera,” or “In the like.” I compare Nanca and Nado.
Fri, 15 Jan 2021 - 1120 - A Little Bit of Filler, Nanka
Nanca is a word to replace “um.” The difference about this word though is it has a meaning, kind of like an unknown/abstract object, like “thing-a-ma-jig.”
Thu, 14 Jan 2021 - 1119 - Kamoshidenai, the Difference in Probability
This word is used in place of “might.” This is used when something has a lower probability of happening than deshoh.

This is when you are referring to yourself in the 3rd person, such as when you say "I didn't think that 'I' could get into college." The second I is in the 3rd person.
Mon, 21 Dec 2020 - 1111 - Nagara
This word happens when you put things in base 2. It's another version to express "while." It indicates that the action preceding the verb is taking place at the same time, or it's a simultaneous action expressed by the same clause.

Tue, 15 Dec 2020 - 1107 - Uchi Ni
This is not the uchi of your home, but the symbol looks like a person under a cage. This is quite similar to idah. We learn how to say "While I was learning Japanese in Japan." This is usually used with state or progressive actions.

Fri, 04 Dec 2020 - 1101 - Kanji
