    1. Breno Faria

      lmao yeah, but it is actually very useful. It implies you’re a very beginner, like learning how to say “I can’t speak Japanese”, in Japanese lol. It’s a good way to tell others you can’t speak their language. At least I find it better than speak other languages until they figure that out lol.

  2. affect9821

    I am Japanese. I am delighted to have foreigners studying Japanese so much. It’s so cute that foreigners talk hard in Japanese, and everyone in Japan likes it. I will try my best to speak English.
    日本語を勉強してくださる外国の方がたくさんいることに驚きと喜びを感じています。

  3. Zatchham

    I recently went to Japan two months ago for the first time and had watched so many videos like these in preparation. Thought I had everything to a T but when it came to speaking the right Japanese words quickly in response, I completely screw up the pronunciation or draw a blank and use gestures. I felt embarrassed when a cook brought out my order and when I remembered to say thanks, I ended up saying “Itakimasu” instead of “Itadakimasu”. They knew I was trying my best after laughing it off and I still ended up having a wonderful time, even with those issues. I guess it just taught me that I need to relax before speaking and to practice pronunciation aloud more often. ^_^’

  4. Rimmer won't eat his gazpacho soup.

    I’ve been speaking Japanese for years and recently past the N4 test but it is amazing how many of the early beginner words you do forget when you don’t use them!

    1. Human Bean

      hello , conversation referee here. You are wrong. She said n4 you can have conversation in Japanese. The guy then says blah blah N4 isnt fluent. she says “yeah i never said it was fluent, but you can at least converse”. You lose 10 points. ganbatte

    2. Azka Takebayashi

      @ROKURO no. Look at his first comment. He said “N4 isn’t exactly fluent either.” That’s fine but then Ms.Jane here replied by saying N4 skills will help you converse with other people which the guy replied by saying “The ability to have a basic conversation isn’t fluency”. I wonder who’s missing the point.

  5. Rachel Zobell

    Could you make a more condensed version with each phrase only and repeat each a few times? Love the information for each phrase, but it would be nice to have a video with the phrases alone. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Love your videos!

  6. Aria Maze

    Dang it! I just started with german and france, and now I want to learn Japanese, my life is going to be more complicated… I just love learning language from this channel, amzing hosts, great editing, interactive and undertandable.

  7. shizuokaBLUES

    You know Risa, it would be great for you to do this at an intermediate or even lower advanced level.

    I’ve been here 23 years and generally have zero problems in daily life. But my Japanese never gets better—it just stays at the same intermediate level.

    Any chance of a video like this?
