Podcasts:

 More Hou | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 347

Today we are talking more about the word Hoh, and the phrase Hoh Gah Ih. This is almost always used with past tense. “It’s better if you…”

 More Yori | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 316

Today we talk about when Yori is used, how it’s used, and when to use it by itself. There are multiple versions of Yori and I go over differentiating between them.

 Hou Ga and Yori | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 368

Today we’re going over two different grammar points, which are Hoh Gah and Yori. We use these in contrast to each other or in a phrase. I explain how to use both of these and how to distinguish between them.

 Auxiliary Word Beki | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 336

Today we’re talking about a very similar word to Hazu, which is Beki. This word is often paired with Dah, such as Beki-Dah with the accent going downward on Dah.

 Hard Musts vs Soft Musts | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 366

Today I will talk about the word “Hazu.” This is basically the first and most simplistic of the musts or shoulds in Japanese. I give examples and definitions.

 Appropriate and Unique Responses | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 325

It can often be difficult for new and even intermediate Japanese speakers to come up with the appropriate response to certain questions and sentences, so today I am going to provide you with a few unique responses you can use that will help you sound more fluent and native.

 Dou | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 327

This word usually indicates a question and today we will be diving into how to use this word and the difference between this word and another word similar to it.

 The Adjective Hoshii | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 350

Today we’re talking about another adjective that indicates desire, but alongside that showing of desire, we want to do it over a particular item. I talk about Hoshii Garu and Ga Hoshii.

 Garu | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 350

Today we are going to be going over Garu, which is over somebody else. In Japanese we often talk about area of information, which basically is who can say what. I cannot say that you like blue, but I can say I think you like blue. I give examples.

 Auxiliary Adjective Tai | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 328

This is when we take a verb and we attach an adjective part to the end. Like the word Nai. To not eat is Tabei Nai. Today we’re doing something very similar and talking about Tai.

 Another Phrase Using Koto | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 346

When using Kotoh it’s a nominalizer so everything before Kotoh is modifying Kotoh. Usually with verbs we’re going to see things ending in base 3 or base Tah, which is usually past tense or present tense. Today we’re talking about “Kotoh ni naru.” Naru is a non volitional act.

 More About Koto | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 357

Today I go more in depth into Kotoh. We go over the phrase “Kotoh gah, Dekidu.” Using phrases to simplify bigger ideas or sentences.

 How to Express Have You Ever | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 352

The phrase “Have you ever…?” is what we will be going over today. I explain how to ask this type of question and give examples.

 Mono, Koto’s Twin | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 342

Monoh is a physical thing, and used like when you say “It’s on the tip of my tongue.” This is used like Kotoh, but has to be used with tangible things rather than intangible things.

 Tangible or Intangible Things; Koto | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 353

Kotoh means thing, or what. In this episode I describe another way to overcome those moments when you can’t think of the right word or words to say. Instead of using filler words, this method has to do with describing the action or thing that you can’t think of.
