Wow, Minna no Nihongo took down my video...

So I made a video about the sentence 会社員ですか? from みんなの日本語.



I talked about how we typically don’t ask this question right away when we meet a new person.



I explained the specific reasons why we wouldn’t say this and gave alternative sentences you can use in real-life conversations.



And guess what: Minna no Nihongo took down my video for showing a screenshot of the sentence (not even an entire page) for 5 seconds.

So I removed the screenshot and uploaded it again.

Why we don't say じゃがいもがいりますか? (Duolingo Japanese)

I decided to use my long-forgotten 2nd channel to upload videos like this.

I've been making this kind of video as short-form videos, but I didn't always have enough time to fully explain the nuances and give you more examples, so I decided to make longer videos as an experiment.

If you've been watching my Japanese learning videos, you might enjoy my 2nd channel.

Many people get this wrong, but honorific (commonly as "polite") Japanese (keigo) is not the same as formal Japanese. Keigo can be formal or informal, polite or rude.

When we use keigo (honorific language) in daily life, we usually don’t speak very formally but we still use keigo.

How good is your Japanese? Can you help me make another video where I asked Japanese people to listen to your Japanese and guess if you are a native speaker or a non-native speaker? forms.gle/z41DygG3Cf9ekEbs6
