How many?#1 Counters for people and animals いくつ？①人や動物の数え方 - Complete Beginner Japanese 日本語超初心者

I’m Yuki Kimura, a native Japanese speaker living in Fukuoka, Japan. I make Japanese lesson videos to help learners to acquire Japanese in the most natural and fun way.

Let me give you a quick introduction to my teaching method and how it’s effective.

My teaching method is based on Dr. Krashen’s Input hypothesis. Dr. Stephen Krashen, a famous linguist in the field of second language acquisition, says that we learn language in only one way. And that is when we understand messages. When we understand what we hear and read.

I will not be teaching you Japanese grammar rules or giving you a list of useful expressions. Instead, I will be talking to you in “Comprehensible Japanese”.

In my videos,
・I talk all in Japanese, slowly and clearly.
・I talk in simple and short sentences.
・I use high-frequency words repeatedly in the form that they would be used in actual conversation.
・I draw pictures and use gestures while speaking.
・I often rephrase sentences and use synonyms.

I do all these things to make the content comprehensible for you, to make sure that you understand messages.

Forget that it’s in a foreign language. Just sit and enjoy watching my videos, and you will get used to the sounds of the Japanese language and gradually start picking up words and expressions and even grammar in the contexts.

Hundreds more videos are available on our website. (https://cijapanese.com/)
You can sign up through Patreon (  / comprehensiblejapanese  ) and get full access to the videos.

Choose your level and topics of your interest, and let’s enjoy learning Japanese with us! #comprehensiblejapanese
