First-time Greeting in Japanese for Beginners

In this video, I'll tell you about different ways to introduce yourself in Japanese. Different greetings are appropriate in different situations, so I will start with a very formal way, gradually getting more and more casual.

How Kaname san greets his fruits and veggies before digging in.

[Kuntuber]

i’m glad he included the delinquent version. definitely gonna be using that

[DaveLopez]

Now I know how to be a gangster lettuce in Japan.

[Gaehhn]

Not sure how much I will actually remember from today's lesson, but at least my shopping list is now complete. Thanks, Kaname.

[Saburo]

I love that you don't just teach the language, but the context as well. Freakin awesome man.

[levileme]

The more Japanese I try to learn, more the culture seems important. And this man always explains it very well. Great video.

[davfb]

« If you want to sound like a delinquent, ask which middle school the other’s from ». As a Chinese native, very relatable.😂

[megatronic]

Im here to learn greeting and conversations and here I know more about vegetables...

[hadoryu]

Always extremely helpful and useful language advice. Thank you, Naito-san!

[megaweebis]

Can you do a video explaining こと next?

[Sad-wylq]

I like that you start off by explaining then gradually add more and more japanese dialog😁 動画は本当に有用です！

[glowmobile]

Loved the ending part, enjoyable videos as always! 🤣

[tblicher]

Thank you very much Kaname! Always amusing and very helpful.

I never knew that it was customary in Japan to introduce oneself as a vegetable or a fruit. I want to be as polite as possible, so this is very helpful.

[SonoraD.]

I love the way he came up with the name examples ❤

[grimcore]

Glad he put the delinquents way otherwise I could never introduce myself to new friends😂

[brokenredlamp]
