5:15 - "Yes, that's right."
5:50 - "No, that's wrong."
6:50 - "this, " "that, " "that over there, " "which one?" (kosoado words 1)
8:24 - "What is this?"
9:46 - "What time is it?"
11:01 - "It's [time] o'clock."
13:12 - "Where is" sentence structure
14:48 - "here, " "there, " "over there, " "where?" (kosoado words 2)
16:20 - "Excuse me. / I'm sorry.^"
17:45 - "[blank], please" sentence structure^^
19:22 - "I am not" sentence structure
21:20 - "A was B" sentence structure
23:05 - "There is a [blank]/I have [blank]" sentence structure
25:35 - denoting existence of animate objects
27:08 - "I like/love [blank]" sentence structure
29:05 - "I hate [blank]" sentence structure
30:05 - using i-adjectives
31:58 - using na-adjectives
34:01 - negative i-adjective forms
35:29 - negative na-adjective (and noun) forms^^^
37:12 - past-tense i-adjectives (warning: the video seems to start having graphical glitches here)
39:08 - past-tense na-adjectives
40:53 - word order (graphical glitches end)
42:28 - topic- vs. subject-prominence
44:09 - omission of the subject
46:41 - using action verbs
49:25 - using the direction-marking particle へ (he)
51:15 - using the particle で (de) to mark the means by which one does something
52:13 - forming the formal present negative tense for verbs ("ます" ("masu") > "ません" ("masen"))
52:50 - forming the formal past tense for verbs ("ます" ("masu") > "ました" ("mashita"))
53:51 - "didn't [blank]" sentence structure (polite/formal)
54:58 - sentence structure for extending an invitation
56:04 - sentence structure for extending an invitation/making a suggestion or proposition (more formal)^^^^
57:20 - informal (casual) verb conjugation (+ explanation of class-1, class-2 and class-3 verbs)
59:35 - informal (casual) negative verb conjugation (don't/doesn't) for class-1 verbs
1:01:40 - informal (casual) negative verb conjugation for class-2 verbs

^ - variations on "gomennasai" are more commonly used to say "i'm sorry, " especially in casual settings, although "sumimasen" can be used to mean "excuse me" _or_ "i'm sorry" when talking to authority figures or people you don't know.
^^ - the structure "[blank]をください" ("[blank] wo kudasai") is, mostly used when asking for objects, while "onegaishimasu" is more common when asking for intangible things or in more formal settings. you can also use the construction "-te kudasai, " using the te-form of a verb, to ask that someone do a particular verb.
^^^ - one of the examples used is "元気" ("genki")--while this can be used to mean "fine" it can also mean something along the lines of "energetic" or "cheerful, " and can be used to mean "fine" in the mental, physical, or emotional sense
^^^^ - as naomi-sensei demonstrates at the end, one can drop the か (ka) particle to make it more casual and straightforward; this permutation would be more accurately translated as "let's [blank]" as opposed to "shall we [blank]?"

GENERAL TIPS:
- "私" ("watashi") is used frequently in this video, and in any other material for learning japanese, as the first-person pronoun: the way to refer to oneself. while this is true--it IS a first-person pronoun--it's important to note that 私 has a feminine tone; it is typically used by women or by men in more formal situations, although there are exceptions to this rule. the masculine counterparts are "僕" ("boku") and "俺" ("ore"), where 僕 is seen as more polite than 俺: 俺 is usually only used in casual settings, e.g. talking with close friends
- grammatical particles (such as は ("wa")) in japanese are so unlike any grammatical structure in any other language that they are almost always barely touched on and not really discussed in-depth, which i think is a mistake; using the wrong particle can change the meaning of a sentence drastically, or sometimes cause it to stop grammatically functioning entirely. if any of you have questions concerning any particular particles, please reply to this comment and i'll try to address it--i'm not even close to fluent in japanese yet, but i've at least become very familiar with the common particles

47:29 as a german, japanese is a dream language. The grammar is so simple. No conjugation, no 1000 article and no akkusativ

[monwoo]

This is very educational, I’m learning a lot on my own with these

[stephenchaboya]

For those who are asking, the dash used when using Katakana characters usually indicates that there’s an elongated sound when pronouncing the letters. For example: か－ is kaa

[suvidyamhatre]

I wish if there were comprehensive grammar videos like these on other pod languages channels

[ketiperanidze]

This video is amazing. I've just started learning Japanese and it helped me a lot.

[kennethreed]

These is a great up load. It is easy to follow.

[MarcoLongoMusic]

The presentation and editing of these videos are top notch 👌

[tessadu]

I was learning fluently until 57:19 . After I searched more information, I learned that the ますform is not verb's original form actually. It's better to put how Dictionary form change into ますform at the beginning of verb part starts ( which is 46:39 ), some advanced learner don't suggest learn ますform initially, but Dictionary form.
