Hi Joe..😄👋 Thank you for the training videos, those are really helpful! I was able to learn those sentences quickly.😍 But since I don't know how to read or write Japanese language.. when the Japanese language is only seen on the screen.. I am not getting it. So is there a video regarding learning Japanese alphabets too? Or should I learn those first & then proceed with the videos? What do you think? (For now I can remember the sentences by understanding the GIF seen on the videos & by reading the sentences which are in English alphabets..) And also the doubt I have is, I just completed the 1st two videos & noticed.. for questions.. in Japanese.. I didn't saw the 'question mark symbol (?)' at the end. In Japanese language, symbols like '?, !, ..' are not used? (Thought posting it here because the reply might help others too, Arigatou!🙏)

what does anjin mean ??

I am glad to join here. Speaking straightly, I am finding new collaborator can speak fluently in Japanese. only little native or fluent Japanese skill Nothing special, If there is someone who have already know about the software developement. Its the best, and I will word with him. Best

Today let’s look at one of the most important pairs in Japanese: 👉 です = is / am / are 👉 ではありません = is not / am not / are not (polite negative) These are used with nouns and adjectives to make simple sentences. --- ✅ 1. です = is / am / are We use です to make a positive statement. Examples: これは本です。 Kore wa hon desu. → This is a book. 私は先生です。 Watashi wa sensei desu. → I am a teacher. 日本はきれいです。 Nihon wa kirei desu. → Japan is beautiful. --- ❌ 2. ではありません = is not / am not / are not This is the polite negative form of です. Examples: これは本ではありません。 Kore wa hon dewa arimasen. → This is not a book. 私は先生ではありません。 Watashi wa sensei dewa arimasen. → I am not a teacher. 日本は安くではありません。 Nihon wa yasuku dewa arimasen. → Japan is not cheap. --- 🔍 Small Tip: You may also hear: じゃないです (casual polite) じゃありません (polite but softer) But in beginners’ Japanese, ではありません is the safest and most correct polite form. --- 📝 Practice Patterns Try making your own: Positive > A は B です。 A wa B desu. Negative > A は B ではありません。 A wa B dewa arimasen. --- 🫵 Your Turn! Write 1–2 sentences using: ✔ です ✔ ではありません Post them below and I’ll correct them for you! I hope this is helpful Karin san! @Karin Ware
