43:38 That pizza poem by itself is a literary work of art.

Following you all the way through my genki II book. You rock sir.

時 summary:

When you have:

present時, present = This is a habitual action. When something happens, this happens.
The order of the actions are WHEN 時 EVENT HAPPENS, THEN MAIN EVENT HAPPENS.

Present時, past = Andy gives a good way to see it: When I was going to (the pizza examples are a bit difficult, but looking for more examples you get it). この車を買う時、銀行からお金を借りました. = When I was going to buy this car, I borrowed money from the bank. You understand it as first you borrow the money from the bank, then you bought the car.
The order of the actions are MAIN EVENT then 時 SENTENCE.

Past時, Past = the 時 sentence has ended and then happened the second action. Once more the pizza example is difficult:
ピザを食べた時, 嬉しかった。 = When I ate the pizza, I was happy/glad. So, you ate the pizza, (you finished it, and then you were glad.
The order of the actions are 時 SENTENCE, then MAIN EVENT.

Got a lesson 16 test soon! Great refresher, and the explanations are easy to understand!

[deanmoriarty]

The grammar point "describing when things happen" does my head in!

[fluffyhamsters]

These videos are so helpful - thank you :)

[josefuentes]

I am listening your videos on the way to work... They have helped me to improve my Japanese and I have even got better grades at Uni

[clarajackson]

Thank you so much for your videos. You make it very relaxed and your graphics for あげる、くれる and もらう, is great separately, when you put them all together is mind blowing for me. Good fun thought. がんばっていますよ！

[MintySomething]

i can't thank you enough for these videos. i had a long break between japanese classes and was really nervous to get back into it again, but thanks to this playlist i've been more on top of things than in any semester before :) will def check out the extra content

[misspugs]

Thanks for reminder about how to conjugate the negative short form to te form during the apologizing section.

[elizabethkawaguchi]

I love your videos, they are so helpful to watch alongside my Japanese class! Thank you!

[yurashi_dino]

Thankkss, from your videos always I have everything black on white, without interpreting everything from the text in the textbook hehe

[Coyoteclaw]

1. 母に皿を洗ってあげました。

4. 悲しい時、好きな音楽を聞きます。
5. 窓を打って、本当にすみませんでした。
鳥：「早く起こしてごめん。」

本当にありがとう、アンディ先生！

[marialuizafda]

Hi, Andy. Thank you for another great lesson! I'd also like to ask two questions, I believe you answered both during the video, but I'm still a little confused.
on 13:12 would it be wrong to say "ゆきが僕に料理してくれた"? I understood the role of ため in the example, but I still don't know if it has< to be used with every する verb in sentences where someone is doing something for you.
second, when you said we would have to use the verb 買う in its negative Te form I thought of 買わないで. why did you use 買わなくて?

[seqka]

a favour, I cleaned my roommate's room.)
今度のヴィデオにゆっくり話していただけませんか。(In the next video, would you be so kind as to speak slowly? [This isn't a real request, I just wanted to say something kinda realistic.])
アパートにもうすぐ出られるといいんですが。(I hope I can leave my apartment soon.)
悲しい時たくさんお酒をのみます。(When I'm sad, I drink a lot of alcohol.)
早い時朝に起こして、本当にすみませんでした。(For waking you up early in the morning, I honestly, truly apologize.)
