Hahaha, I’m going through the commands session and hearing you say “やめろおおおぉぉ” had me laughing out loud. And I’ve just realized something. I’ve been seeing your videos since the Genki 1 playlist, planning to continue on watching the Quartet 1 playlist too after this one is finished, and it’s because you’re good, man. You’re really a good teacher, a good YouTuber. The connection you have with your viewers and the things you share about your life and life with Yuki while teaching make these series wholesome. Thank you for letting us see that human side of yours and not be just a guy teaching through a computer screen.
Ps: I’m sorry for your mom not letting you read Harry Potter when you were a kid!

This videos are what get me through genki! Thank you so much for all of the time and effort you put into them!!

[nalinigangadurai]

you are really good in teaching, sustaining interest throughout the video

[danutorr]

Incredible series of videos, they are so helpful as a companion to studying from the book. its like being in a classroom. Thank you for all the effort and care you put into them!​

[rbarker]

Thanks for the additional and useful vocab.

[keysmash.]

i've been studying genki with you for more than a year now (maybe more?). and its all thanks to you and yuki-san that i'm finally going to get done with genki after sucha long time!! thank you for all the hard work and keeping all these lessons so good and free! wishing you the best, see you in lesson 23! cannot express my gratitude enough!

[Manonaaa]

i feel like i need to rewrite my entire notebook because of how en when Genki teaches us things. Thank goodness you have the same "frustration" with the ば in lesson 22 haha　:)

[tobinkaestner]

For the causative をvs.に difference, I think I learned from "making sense of Japanese grammar" that it has to do with viewing someone as equal or lesser than status

[DoubtX]

I think a good in-between translation for the causative form is have/had. Instead of "I want to make/let my dog swim." You can translate it as, "I want to have my dog swim." And the ambiguity about whether it's forced is preserved.

21:04 Is it 乗らせてもらいたい　because the verb is 乗る which is a Godan verb

[ezrongerald]

Hi Andy! I've been learning Japanese using your videos for a while now(without textbook). Just curious, are there any significant differences between Genki 2nd and 3rd edition? I've been planning on buying one for myself but only the 2nd edition is available in my area.
Btw, keep up the great work!

[Drigo__]

Hey, thanks for all theses videos, they have been very helpful to either understand the grammar points better and have a more fresh, real life use to the language.

I have a question though: you said we should use －なさい to children or people that are below our rank, but what if I wanted to give a command to someone of my own rank, for example a classmate?
In one of the examples, you used "行きたいなら行きなさいよ" and that made me think of a situation, like, one of my friends is interested in a girl but doesn't have the guts to go talk to her, and so I say this to him, as a form of encouragement. Would that be possible and/or something common to say? Or the person would feel like I am diminishing them somehow?

Sorry if the question is too long, but I appreciate any help you could give me.

P.S.: On the dialogue parte of this section, the sentence "待ちなさい！" made me think of Sailor Moon instantly 😅😅

[daviddavidoff]

Andy, I love your content but I have a problem with grammar. Obviously, there's plenty of it and I can't seem to remember(at least all the time) when to use ます、て-form、past short form, present short form before the actual grammar point. Do you have any tips for that?

[MasterQuestMaster]

Why is it はじめてから, not はじめたから? Since we started training.

[Rungus]

Hello again! At 55 minutes, you use "hajimete kara" and say "since we started training." However, in a past lesson, didn't we learn that "A-te kara B" means "B after doing A?" Would using the kara/made form of kara require not using the -te form?

[underflotky]

is this really N4? i can speak Japanese but these textbook exercises seem so futile
