In 1:21:10, you said "When A is in present tense, the event A is either at the same time as B or BEFORE it" Don't you mean after? Because Genki shows in the examples sentences A being after B. Like "I'll eat pizza, then I'll go"

1:28:52 confuses me. Why is it 電話した時 and not 電話する時 or 電話している時? Because doesn't the pamphlet request happen at the same time the call takes place?
Thanks for these videos as well, they are great!

Hi, I just came across your videos and I have the old 2nd edition Genki books. I am better off watching your newer Genki videos where you go through the 3rd edition.. or am I better off with the old videos that go through the 2nd edition? Thanks.

I think of “Verb Short Past 〜時” as being like the past perfect tense. “When you *had* called the manager…” It’s over and done before the second part of the sentence in Japanese. Does that sound accurate, or am I still confusing this concept?
