    ◆Summary あらすじ
    Why is it that in Japanese, you can't understand the meaning until you hear the very last word? Japanese has its own fascinating rules that are completely different from English — flexible word order, subjects that simply disappear, and short phrases that carry far more meaning than they seem. If you've ever studied Japanese and thought, "Wait, that's strange!" — this episode is for you. Let's explore what makes Japanese such a unique language.

    日本語はなぜ「最後まで聞かないとわからない」のでしょうか?英語とはぜんぜんちがう、日本語だけの「不思議なルール」があります。語順、主語の省略、短いことばに隠れた意味……。日本語を勉強している人なら、きっと「あるある!」と思う話がたくさん出てきます。日本語ってどんな言語なのか、いっしょに考えてみましょう。

  • 【Never Give Up on Kanji|The First 20 Pieces Start Here! 挫折しない|最初の20ピースはここから!:漢字①】🇯🇵Japanese for Beginner 日本語入門
    Mar 1 2026

    🎧️Learn Japanese with Sally🎧️
    In my previous video, I explained what my kanji lesson videos are all about. (They're available in multiple dubbed languages, so if you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check it out!)
    Starting from this video, I'll finally be introducing 100 kanji characters. The kanji featured in this video are:上、百、多、etc.】
    Learning the meanings of kanji is extremely important. In this video, I focus specifically on the meanings of kanji characters. Since kanji are characters that represent meaning, please watch this video as many times as it takes until you can instantly recognize the meaning of each character.
    Note that simply looking at kanji is not enough to retain them, so if you want to truly master them, be sure to check out my full video content series!
    前回の動画で私の漢字レッスン動画の内容を説明しました(吹き替え多言語対応していますので、まだご覧になっていない方はぜひチェックしてみてください)。

    今回からいよいよ100の漢字をご紹介します。 今回の漢字は【上、百、多など】です。
    漢字の意味を覚えることは非常に大切です。この動画でご紹介するのは漢字の意味です。漢字は意味を表す文字ですので、漢字を見て意味がすぐわかるようになるまで、何度もご覧ください。
    なお、漢字を見るだけでは定着しにくいため、しっかり身につけたい方は私の動画コンテンツ全編をご覧ください!

  • 【Katakana Mastery Series – Part 3 】🇯🇵Japanese for Beginner 日本語入門

    Feb 22 2026

    🎧️Learn Japanese with Sally🎧️

    Characters cannot be memorized just by looking at them. I want you to write them and learn them.

    Fortunately, katakana is easier to write and not as difficult as hiragana.

    Furthermore, each stroke of katakana is the same as in kanji.

    By being able to write katakana correctly, you build the foundation for kanji—“killing two birds with one stone”!

    In this video, katakana is introduced in three parts in an “easy-to-write order.”

    If you watched this video and thought, “I want to be able to write kanakana!” please make sure to master it thoroughly with my Udemy video course content!

    文字は、ただ見るだけでは覚えられません。書いて覚えてほしい。

    幸い《カタカナ》は、《ひらがな》より書きやすく、難しくないです。

    更に、《カタカナ》の一画一画:strokは、漢字と同じ。

    《カタカナ》が正しく書けることで、《漢字》の基礎が身につく”一石二鳥”です!

    この動画では、《カタカナ》を”書きやすい順”に3回に分けて紹介しています。

    この動画を見て《カナカナ》が書けるようになりたい!と思った人はぜひ、Udemyの動画コンテンツでしっかり身につけてください!
