“3 new characters”
Me: Ahh great an easy day
“And 33 new sounds”
Me: WHAT

[yuunaa]

everytime i wanted to stop at the end of the lesson, risa will have her special exit that just makes me smile and continue haha

[HellFreeZr]

You, an intellectual: I finished learning hiragana & katakana, now how about learning some words or grammar?
Kanji: I'm about to end this man's whole career

[Dsingis]

Me at the start: 33 NEW SOUNDS?!?! Me at the end: Oh, okay well that's not too hard.

[matroska_]

Worth it for Risa saying "nya".

This is starting to become more complex, i am going to have to take notes and learn katakana as soon as i master the hiragana symbols, writing, and pronunciation. Although it'll be a challenge, i am having fun learning Japanese!

[Lolzynana]

This study is a big help, had the notes on my notebook for me to remember the characters of hiragana

[shady]

Another mnemonic for や is a thumbs up saying "yea"! And for ゆ I see a YUkelele sound hole with 2 strings XD. idk if y'all see it but it helped me.

The fact is the 2nd video has 1600k views and this has only 290k, only 20% people made this far also, the katakana series day 10 has only 64k (which is 4%), I wonder how many learned all the kanji🙃

[dimonasdf]

Actually japanese [ゆ] looks like russian letter [ю], which represents exactly the same [yu] sound :D

[yassineamri]

you is the best course Ever to learn hiragana, katakana and kanji

[sailorcat]

There are "n"s in the words to practice, but actually we haven't learned them yet. XD

[saekka]

This was great. I love that you also included digraphs, that's very helpful.

[anniesmith]

Make these for Katakana too, please 🙏🏻

[verifiedgentlemanbug]

Thank you teacher Risa, and Japanesepod101!!!

[yuliaezhikova]

Loved the videos, huge help when self studying as there were still a few questions unclear for me after I learned hiragana with a memrise app.

Also Risa is just adorable :)

Thanks guys!

[monkeyBLOCKS]

[Isyrawr]
