//DISCLAIMER:
These lessons are based from the Minna No Nihongo (初級) Beginner textbooks. But even if you don’t have the textbooks, you can still follow along the lessons by just watching the video.
I'm currently living in Japan and I use Japanese at work and daily life. I’m sharing what I’ve learned from my language school and through self-study. I'm not a native Japanese speaker nor am I a licensed Japanese language teacher. I’ve passed the JLPT N3 exam and am planning to take the JLPT N2 test in the future. So if you find any mistakes, feel free to let know so that we can all learn together. Thank you!
//AMAZON LINKS:
I cannot find the links for first edition, but I found the links for the latest edition of the textbooks which are pretty much the same as the first edition:
LESSON 1-25
Minna no Nihongo 初級 1 Honsatsu (Everyone's Japanese Beginner 1 Textbook 1) 2nd Edition
LESSON 26-50
Minna no Nihongo 初級 2 Honsatsu (Everyone's Japanese Elementary 1 Textbook 2) 2nd Edition

From the style and structure of the videos, to the formatting of the YouTube descriptions on each video, to the excellent explanations behind the vocabulary and grammar points – amazing job. I’m sure this took a long time to do. I hope many people (with good intentions) subscribe in the future and make use of this hard work of yours. Thank you.

I really don’t understand why people still give thumbs down for such excellent video….
Competitors lowers others from Youtube algorithm.
Who you know how much thumbs are down your the one who give it i guess ?

probably they have their own “learn japanese” channel? and downvote others to make them seem better. no idea
It’s amazing!! Thank you so much. ?
One of the best lessons I’ve found on YouTube for beginners
They just salty rats
True Sir….indeed you are tight and the way ma’am puts her efforts is fabulous…??❇❇
Agree
I tried to study MNN for myself but it was too hard without explanations. You’re amazing, ありがとうございます！?
@秋 seasons ??
“Minna no nihongo” or みんな の 日本語
and it is the book that is being explained in the video, it’s a book for learning japanese
What is MNN ?
Hehe..right!!??
It’s clear that you have been working hard to record all the lessons of the Minna. I’m sure that if you keep going eventually you’re gonna have the amount of suscribers that you deserve.
Maybe some Japanese culture related and outdoors videos will help to spread the word ?
Please have more lessons. I’m beginning to learn Japanese. I find that your lessons are so useful. I don’t need to slack off at language schools but to understand the entire lesson in the textbooks. I really hope to see your subsequent videos. God bless you!
Are you fluent in Japanese now?

This is really helpful and make it more understandable. It looks like you have a sensei teaching you. Great job! NigonGoal. Yes, I’m beginner and hoping it would help me to pass the N5 this December. Wish me luck! ?
@Ai uehara⬇️? juegos. Si i
Amazing presentation and explanations! Very helpful for struggling learner like me. Arigatou gozaimazu!
im so thankful that this was on my recommendation videos because i’ve been trying to learn nihongo grammar, and ive been looking for a sensei that can teach me how japanese grammar are suppose to be, and tbh ive been watching alot of like this too, however I didn’t get one of them especially im a slow learner. but this one is different. im really so thankful that this was on my recomendation. thank you very much! >.< now i can finally understand how japanese grammar is supposed to be. i really like the way how you teach your students in a slow process so that we can understand it so easily, especially to a slow learner like me. NEW SUBSCRIBER here btw! I have one thing to ask though, 2:03 you said that N2 can be a verb. so is that mean i can put taberu here. like: kore wa taberu da i dont know if im correct, or not so here i am asking a question. I hope you reply arigatougozaimasu! >~<
I’m currently living in Japan, and struggling to learn the language. I’m taking classes taught by some very kind volunteer teachers. We use the Mina no Nihongo text books. Due to a lack of ability to communicate, I’m still having trouble learning. I was searching for additional tools to learn when I came across this video. I found it very helpful, I’m going to continue watching the others.
Are you planning on making videos fir lessons 26-50?
I used to learn the sentences without knowing the grammar, but thanks to this channel I now learn Japanese more easily.
Thank you for your excellent work!
I find this channel very informative. Each concept is explained very beautifully. I request you to please create videos for chapter’s of next book also.
Your teaching is so enjoyable. I wasn’t bored at all. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for your videos! I started visiting a japanese course five weeks ago and this is a very good complement to the (sometimes) vague explanations of my sensei. 🙂
