Hi Mayumi, this is GREAT! I wonder if you canalso produce a course like this for beginners like me:=) You might like to consider make sections for words (adjectives, nouns, verbs, adverbs) and simpler conscructions to make people like me easier to follow the lessons and be able to do some grammatical anlysis on the much complicated sentence building?
Once again, thank you so much.

Konnichiwa CariCari,

Thank you very much for your kind words.
I speak Japanese as a native speaker and have never studied Japanese as linguistics. I’m afraid but I don’t think I can do grammatical stuff well. However I will try to make episodes for beginners once in a while or make sections for words.
Doumo arigatou gozaimashita for your comment.

Mayumi:-)

「はる」は基本的に京都弁やけど、大阪の人もよく使う ねん。「思わはる」がきっと正しいと思うし、めっちゃ ビミョ〜やけど、「思いはる」より「思わはる」の方が 京都っぽく聞こえるわ。多分大阪の人が「はる」を使う ときは、連用形と思うで。
