Possession and Particle NO | Japanese From Zero! Video 13

[Course 1 Lesson 3]
Using the Japanese particle の (NO) we can make any Japanese pronoun into a possessive word such as "my, mine, yours, his, hers" etc. We also learn about the question word 誰 (だれ) [dare].

No YouTuber has ever influenced me to a level of buying his books. But George, I already ordered your books after watching your amazing videos. Thank you. Keep up the good job.

Can you believe when I become bored of my Japanese class, this is where I come and get back my "lost" motivation for the language?

[chilledoutorange]

That last part had me lauging soo hard..nice work

[spiderprincess]

I always told my family “after I learn Japanese I’ll learn Spanish, now I just need to find someone teaching Spanish” then when you said “Spanish from zero” I was like “OMG THIS IS AMAZING, THANK YOU SO MUCH”

The funny thing is when I'm watching different lesson videos it feels like I'm dumb or something because I don't get them. But when I'm watching yours, my brain picks up everything and I can even translate your questions fast!

[pattheticc]

You're literally one of the best teachers to teach language online, I wish you would teach us a German lang as well

[mammamuscle]

Thanks for the 🔥content. My husband is half Japanese (his mom is from Tokyo) and I am trying to learn enough to teach our baby Japanese alongside my mother in law! Your videos and book make it fun and my MIL is impressed by how much I learned ❤️

I've only been studying Japanese for a few days, and I've been using your book and your videos, and every time I'm not feeling motivated, or I feel stuck, these videos without fail pick me back up and put me in the right mindset to continue. Arigato gozaimasu.

Ok guys, I went through Japanese from zero book 1 and a bit of genki 1 and this is my personal perspective on both books and which one works best
Japanese from zero has a slower pace than Genki which depends on who you are, what you want Japanese for and how do you learn or what your learning style is to know which one is better. First, I want to explain self studying advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of self studying is that the time upon when to study is completely on you. You can keep working every single day for hours or you can study 5 minutes per week. Nobody forces you, nobody is there to tell you hey you MUST do this before coming to the class. The plan upon how and what to study is totally on you. But the disadvantage is exactly the same as the advantage. Nobody will force you, there is no homework, nobody will be there to ask why don't you study which for people who don't have enough motivation, might make them stop learning or slower their pace, no one is there to help you practice and no one will speak direct Japanese with you, you are completely on your own. Now, about Japanese from zero, there is an online teacher to explain things for you but genki is not being taught by any teacher online.
Genki's first lesson goes through hiragana and katakana very very briefly while Japanese from zero takes it's time for two whole books.
From my perspective, Japanese from zero as a self study book for someone who lives outside of Japan is a much better choice because it has a slower pace and explains much better. But if you are already in Japan then it means you are so much more into the whole context than most of others, so genki is a better choice for you.

That moment that I got "Whose Apple is this?" before Jo-ji gave even the hint was like, "Yep, this is going to be the time I learn Japanese... after 10 years of failed attempts." These videos are fantastic! Culturally relevant and structured in a way the allows the viewer to be the architect of how they use the language.

Four years later... still waiting on that JFZ Lost tv show!
Love your vids! Thank you!!!

[IndyTheoryCrew]

Wow. Took a year of Japanese back in high school, and I now have a better grasp of the language in 13 videos so far than I did in my entire time in high school. Thank you, and heck yeah I’m getting the books!

[zabylurt]

Ive tried every method and this sensei's methods are truly the best, waiting on book 1 to come in

[AdvFox]

Still super useful even 7 years later.
I personally prefer watching the video then reading the fromzero site/book, and then rewatching the video. It genuinely sticks better in my mind as a capstone of the start and at the end. Thank you for understanding George. :P

[ben-jammin]

I literally started this lesson on the same night that I watched the final episode of Lost. I can't believe it.

[simonemril]

By far my favorite episode! Thank you and kudos to your movie rights and your business ventures!

[avinandansau]

Delivering serious lessons in funniest way possible. This is just pure art of teaching a foreign language. 👍🏻

If anyone sees this and is trying to learn/practice hiragana:Try not to convert hiragana to romaji in your head. I know it's hard to learn the sounds at first, but the faster you can make the connection between the hiragana character and the sound, the easier it will be going forward. I've been writing everything that George says down on paper to help bridge the gap between listening to the sounds and recalling the hiragana. It's helped me so-far. Now when I hear (or see) "anata" I can recall the characters quicker.
