you're totally right about the keigo. my sensei basically said the same things. there were also some native speakers in my class that helped out when they had free time, and they ended up having to join in on the lesson too.

Andyyyy it's been forever but your vibe is still the same, really missed watching your videos!!! Something about your personality + the way you talk + the way you teach, makes learning so chill for me. I could listen to you go on all day
Hope you're doing good, much love!!💕

By the way, the reason I think ご勉強ください sounds strange is because we only use ご for words that came from China (電話、注意, etc.), and I think 勉強 is not considered part of that group because even though 勉強 is in (traditional) Chinese, it has a different meaning and a completely different reading.

you're an angel to me, truly saying. thank you very much!

I use keigo a lot when I do tea ceremony practice but most people learning japanese didn't get into it though that avenue so its pretty rare.

[fredahorner]

We need them for the JLPT4 :(. Thanks for this lesson

[Castiel-dd]

My near-fluent partner has been taking pleasure in scaring me by describing just how difficult keigo is - it's either your excellent explanation of the strange way my brain works, but i think with the exception of the last grammar point, this was honestly the easiest lessons in a long while by far. Easily the easiest in genki 2.

Is there a difference between the はずです taught in Genki ii and Quartet 1? If so, what is it?

[XAngelZeroX]

what happens if you don't send a new years card???🤔

[mRidley]

I'm praying keigo doesn't show up in my classes after this section cause its such a

[viacheslavromanov]

Hi Andy san! Which app do you use to learn writing kanji, kana? Thanks in advance.

[cathyrinpascual]

can ～てくれてありがとう use as negative? for example thankyou for not giving up?

[rowan.riedinger]

I'm coming back to Genki 2 (lessons 19-23 only) after passing N2 to shore up any weak points (mainly Keigo, causative, and passive). It seems very strange that you are saying English speakers will probably not do any service-type jobs and will end up just teaching English. Here I am thinking of getting a front desk job at a hotel until I can improve my Japanese enough to get a translation job. Both of those would require me to know keigo...and I don't think it's that rare for foreigners to work in the hotel or translation industry.

[tonydeemusic]

I’m doing this from memory. Is it right? よやくをしているはずですが。

[tailsofpearls]

My Japanese teacher, who is a native speaker, knocks off points for double keigo expressions. While it is grammatically correct it sounds weird and requires very specific situations to be warranted according to him. Situations we are unlikely to come across.

Hii! thanks for help as usual, but I have a question. Can I add 本当に in between te form and verb while making a command? Something like 食べて本当にください　or does it make no sense?
