In this course, I explain the Japanese that is actually used, not the logical Japanese for JLPT.
There are two main points to explain this time. One is about three types of honorifics.
The other is about the seven expressions of "I".
Both are useful for deepening your understanding of Japanese, so please take a look.
---------------------------
① 3 kinds of honorifics
This course explains three honorifics necessary for learning Japanese. JLPT is necessary knowledge at all levels from N5 to N1. Also, knowledge of honorifics is required when you talk to Japanese people for the first time, when you travel to Japan, when you work in Japan, and when you watch anime. This is because honorifics are words that must be used for people you meet for the first time, customers, bosses, and so on. If you don't use it, you're talking very rude to him. The only people you don't have to use honorifics with are friends you already have good friends with. So when you talk to Japanese people to improve your Japanese speaking ability, you may be offended if you don't use it. If you want to practice Japanese conversation, be sure to learn honorifics.
This course provides an overall explanation of the basics of the three honorifics. By looking at this course, you can understand the form of the honorific word even if you look at the new word.
This course does not explain every word, but focuses on the structure of frequently used honorifics.
To take this course, you need to be able to understand some Japanese without subtitles.
There are many parts that cannot be explained in English.
You also need knowledge of verb groups.
By learning honorifics structurally, you will be given the knowledge that you can make honorifics with new words, not just the boring study of memorizing words.
This is very important knowledge.
The Japanese do not memorize the form of honorifics.
Based on that rule, Japanese people also convert unknown words into honorifics and speak.
So if you watch this course, you can have the same way of thinking as Japanese people. Please enjoy and learn honorifics! And then you have the ability to enjoy conversations with more Japanese people.
Well then, we are waiting for you in the course!

②7 kinds of "I"
There are many words in Japanese that describe you.
For example, "Watashi" or "Boku".
The first person often used in Japanese animation has a different meaning than the one used in reality. Using the differences in those characteristics, the author expresses the differences in the individuality of the characters.
Therefore, we Japanese can know without explaining the characteristics of those characters.
But if you don't know the difference between those first-persons, you have to watch the anime without knowing how the character relates to others.
Then you can't really enjoy and understand the anime deeply. There are so many expressions in Japanese. So you may find it hard to remember them. But instead, Japanese is a very fun language that can beautifully and rhythmically express even the slightest emotional differences.
This first person is representative of Japanese, valuing such small expressions and differences.
There are few teaching materials that explain this in detail.
So please watch this video to deepen your understanding of anime.
It is a fun and easy-to-understand video because it uses the names of famous anime characters as an example.
I think you can also choose what first person you want to use in a casual place through this video.
Do you want to imitate your favorite character or express your personality?
Please enjoy the various first-person fun of Japanese.
