Lesson 5: Japanese verb groups and the te-form. Verb groups 1, 2, 3 made easy. Organic Japanese

Japanese verb groups and the te-form made easy. Understand what they are and how they work. Japanese verb groups 1, 2 and 3 (more accurately described as ichidan verbs, godan verbs and irregular verbs) are easy to understand once you know what they really are.

There is a special place in heaven for this woman. Brilliant lessons.

"Did I look young in that old video?" Lol! I love the humor as well as the teaching style!

[MrKlumpfluff]

Again, if you are studying Japanese in any none-native way, please look at these lessons, things that take ordinary university classes months to get through are handled with more precision, greater speed, and a razor-sharp logic here.

I tried learning Japanese 5 years ago and I gave up at Te forms because the lecturer took an hour to teach it in a really convoluted way and thought Japanese just wasn't for me. I now understand it fully after 9 minutes and can do any Te transformation after a few practices. Cure Dolly really was a godsend to the Japanese learning community may she rest in peace.

Found this channel recently, and was heartbroken to find out she passed away. I wish see could see just how big of a legacy she left, this course being as detailed and helpful as it is and being FREE

[PorgyGeorgy]

Best teacher ever. I'm so glad I found your channel.

I've noticed before that 死ぬ is the only ぬ ending verb I know of, but I didn't realise it is actually the only one :O

[DaveF]

That was brutally elegant. Verb groups in under 10 minutes is a huge deal!

[netyimeni]

i feel like if you'll not put "class dismissed" i'll just stay at the video forever
thank you for lessons anyway

[juliekersten]

I've studied French all my life and I so appreciate that Japanese only has 2 irregular verbs. I also like not having to conjugate separate forms for I, you, he, she, etc.

Dolly sensei, you explained this so beautifully! I have no idea WHY language classes make it unnecessarily complicated.

[nickinlondon]

Thank you for making these videos. I want you to know that they are appreciated.

[koxukoshu]

the number of views on these videos has been criminal. these lessons have been easily digestible so far and I can't believe I've wasted years on something dolly sensei can explain in a few minutes

[anangelsdiaries]

the fact that you only have 21k followers is a travesty, you would deserve at least a hundred times more. Your content is gold!

[anonymous]

Your lessons are just perfect. They are condensed AND easy to understand.

[NaEx]

no way, teacher you made me have a couple "oh" moments allready. understanding where things like shimasu come from and the verb base instead of just learning the masu form really is better...
i am so grateful for her, making this course.

[Otakl]

honestly i cant say i will talk a lot of japanese after this, but for god sake , how easy is learning with her. her method is unique and fabulous, god bless her.

[kanjifreak]

never thought I would be learning japanese and getting my fear of dolls cured too thanks a lot dolly.

[thegingenesis]

I’ve learned more in these past 2 days of watching your videos and taking notes than anywhere else so far! Best videos on Japanese I’ve ever seen. Thank you🙏 honestly.
