Knowing Idioms are sometimes more important than grammar sometimes when it comes too understanding context of a situation in any language, this is super useful. Been looking for more of these.

The B&W cut in made me spit my drink over the screen! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nice one Misa. ところで、明けましておめでとうございます！

"Fundari kettari" = "One thing after another."
I found one in the dictionary once. "Michikusa wo ku." Roughly, "To eat the grass along the road".
This is when someone gets distracted instead of focusing on a task. Imagine a guy sitting by the road chewing a stalk of grass when he should be working.
So when I find myself reading the books I'm trying to sort out and put away I stop and say, "I'm eating grass again!"

Misa is a great teacher, i really enjoy this channel.

[MikaelaBlake]

Thank you so much for this! You teach more than an average teacher does and your explanations of verb usage and examples is so helpful to me. I have learned so much from you. You are the best teacher one can have!

I know it’s been said so many times but Misa’s English pronunciation is REALLY good!

That この二年間は踏んだり蹴ったりの年だった sentence really encapsulated these クソな年.

[zuhurapakeer]

2021年は踏んだり蹴ったりの年でしたね〜
Love this one.
Thanks, as always 💕

[warnergraham]

Thank you for making great videos. I always learn something new. Even if the last 2 years were hard for all, this year will be great😎

[cold-fire]

New year, new Misa! You really seemed to be having fun in this one.

[ethan________]

please do more videos like this misa sensei! these are crazy useful

[skippychurch]

I love love LOVE your verbs video. If you ever did more of those for other verbs or nouns, I would DIE. :) it helped me so much more than you think. Way more than just remembering them from a stupid book.

I am russian and I thought that 2022 couldn’t get any worse. Never in my life had I been so wrong.

The way you match colours in your dress, hair and makeup is becoming better and better. Nice taste!
