#13 Request (TE) form + Present Continuous (doING)-Japanese Lesson for Beginners

This time we will learn a SUPER important form called "TE form".
With this "TE form" you can make :
1. Request form (e.g. Please eat)
2. Present continuous (e.g. I'm eating now)
and much much more :D
We'll focus on the -iru / eru ending verbs first!

I like these explanations, you're a really good teacher

[neilefc]

I dunno how any of your other students feel, Misa, but I find the length of these early videos i.e. between 15 and 20 mins absolutely perfect. There is so much information to absorb. My little Irish brain invariably tunes out when I try to do more than one lesson at a time.
But youre doing a wonderful job. I look forward to learning more from you every day xx

20 minute video, hours of note taking :P. みさせんせいありがとうございました！

That was quite a way to describe babies(akachan) 😂😂😂

When you mentioned "okite!" I wondered if you would make the "onii-chan, okite!" example, I didn't expect you would actually do it xD so cute!

I don't have money to learn japanese right now, so your lessons are a blessing to me! Thank you very much ❤️

[ruthie]

I love how many examples you give and how you explain everything and add new words during lessons. It’s super helpful!
ありがとう!!

hey I love your teaching style it is really great the way you break down everything for past present and future and breaking down the particles that is a big help and also grammer is a big help. thank you so much. keep up the good work.

Watching through these lessons in order feels like I’m unlocking the next piece to the giant puzzle. Your teaching really is fantastic. I can really feel the progression.

[KeysMan]

This is pretty cool! I've only studied formal speaking, so this is great to learn the informal speaking. 嬉しい！

[whisperofspring]

I'm watching this now because I have an exam next week and I need to know this. You're explaining it so well. Thank you so much! :)

"Eat my cookies!"  - so cute.

[CannigiaLaluw-spsz]

You're back! I'm gonna watch the video from #1 again until i get better. Thank you for the lessons, Misa san!

[msel]

sensei, definitely we can easily learn nihongo because the grammar and words are very similar to my mother tongue tamil

In tamil we have these words

kasu - money ( which has meaning of lend in nihon)
kiru/vettu - cut ( it is cut in japanese also)
kulandai - child ( Kodomo in japanese)
anna - elder brother
anni - elder brother's wife
kelu - listen ( it is kiku in japanese)
pesu - speak ( it is hanasu in japanese)
karku - learn ( kaku in japanee means to write)
Ippa/ippo - now ( it is Ima in japanese)


you are using Te form + iru to express continuous meaning. It is same in tamil aso.

sappittu kondu iru kiren ( Meaning I am eating food)
Nadandu kondu iru kiren ( meaning I am walking)

iru kiren is used to express continous. OMG. Japanese have enormous link with tamil, a south indian language also an official language of singapore and srilanka.

I watched ton s of teaching Japanese videos. You are the best. Very good explanation. Thanks

[williamsantosdasilva]

I loved it!!! I lived in Japan for two years but I have forgotten most of what I learned. You make me remember many things. Thank you very much!!! Watashi wa nihon ni sunde imashita. LOL.

[Coyoteclaw]

日本で英語を教えたい！I'm studying Japanese by myself, and your videos have been a super helpful supplement to my textbook lessons! You may things very clear and easy to understand along with introducing a lot of casual and natural stuff that's not in the textbooks. ありがとうございますみさ先生！！！

My name is Earl is one of my absolute favorite shows <3

[Elfmunchkin]

This woman is an angel. What a queen. I don't even have the words how grateful I am to you Misa ♥ I wonder if anyone knows of a similar video series teaching Chinese...

[juliopeluciofox]
