“Thank YOU” in Japanese
✅ こちらこそありがとう
{ kochirakoso arigatou}
✅ こちらこそ
{ kochirakoso }
こちら is a polite way of saying “this way”, in this case こちら means “myself”!
こそ is a particle that exaggerates the word that こそ is attached to.
So こちらこそ means “No, I need to say that, not you.”
I hope this is useful!✨
Thank you for learning with me!

痛い[ itai ] means “painful” in Japanese, but we don’t say the word when we react to the sudden pain!
We say いた！[ ita! ] or いった！[ itta! ]
i hope it’s useful!☺️

I started teaching Japanese on Instagram in November 2020.
I didn’t expect that I could have so many followers in just 10 months!
Thank you very much for following and learning Japanese with me!✨
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos and to write such kind comments. Reading those is one of the best aspects of creating this kind of content. It is so fulfilling.
I am not a qualified teacher. I am just a Japanese girl who wanted to teach Japanese.
When I started my Instagram, I was not really sure if I wanted to be a Japanese teacher. But now I really enjoy making videos and pronouncing Japanese clearly and slowly for you (I don’t know why but I really enjoy it)
My goal is to make more content for Instagram, YouTube and to start a Podcast.
I am also planning to make a course or a membership program to help you master particles!! ( It’s still an idea so I don’t know when I will be able to release it!)
My personal goal is to live in an old Japanese house in the Japanese countryside, to cherish my family, save stray cats and to keep drawing
Do you have a goal for your near future? Or for learning Japanese?
If you have, please tell me in the comments!☺️
Thank you very much for reading…and for all the support,
Have a wonderful day☕️
“I’m happy for you”
✅ 良かったね！{ yokattane }
This can also mean “That’s great!” “Good for you!” Or “I’m happy to hear that!”
It’s a very useful phrase
Or you can also say↓
✅ ほんとに良かったね！{ hontoni yokattane }
ほんとに means “very” or “so”
If you want to sound polite, please say
☑️ 良かったですね { yokattadesune }
I hope this is useful for you!!✨
have a wonderful day!

These are Japanese schools rules and customs that I experienced when I was a high school student!
Of course, every school is not the same, there will be exceptions!
I made this video based on my experience.

①Please say “arigatougozaimasu”, not just “arigatou” in public!
“arigatou” is too casual to use in public.
② We don’t have a tipping culture!
③Please talk quietly in public, especially on a train!
But also don’t forget to enjoy your trip!!✨
These are the 7 basic Japanese words that you say differently if you want to sound more #casual and #natural! ☺️
