Thank you, I did not know about the difference between spoken and written Japanese. Now I will be able to write dialog properly.

Fascinating. IT is almost similar to English writing vs how we actually speak.

You would write in an actual letter to someone, "Would you like to meet me at Nick's Place, when you come to L.A. ?."

BUT if you were on the phone it would be something like this. " Hey meet you at Nick's when you get here?".

OR even more informal, "Wanna get together at Nick's after you land?

At least that is how I was taught to write a letter.

I am surprised that so many people are surprised about this concept. Spoken language is (usually) very different from written language. Some people (used to) complain when we use "spoken" language in text messages. "What you gonna do?"

Thank you for this video.
I was wondering would you drop particles in casual conversation through texting?

Hey, Yuta
I read, that if you use particles correctly, that as long as the verb is on the end of sentence, all other words can be in any order you want. Is that correct?

"You only use だ in written Japanese, not spoken Japanese."
Why have I never heard this before! This is incredibly useful information! Thank you so much.

Just curious: isn't it correct if you say "魚はよく食べる?" instead of "よく魚食べる?"? I might be wrong but I feel like that's how I would say it.

Hello

This is very interesting thank you. I have heard a rumor that learning purely from textbooks can give you a feminine accent. Is there any truth in this?

Hello mr. Yuta,

I have a question, is it okay to never use any particles in spoken Japanese? I have been learning Japanese on duolingo for 4 years now and it feels very unnatural when speaking without any particles.

So just to be sure, always drop particles when speaking in conversations?

I'm confused as to why you'd go for the second "wa" in the first statement. In previous videos, you said that the word"suki" is always paired with "ga" as a default.

This has nothing to do with the video, but what are these things: 「」

I miss the little quizzes you used to do at the end of each lesson 🙁

But if we want to write any conversation between 2or3 guys in a story then we have to use the textbook japanese or spoken Japanese?

Without your aid, Yuta-sensei, I would be stuck thinking that the textbook Japanese that I have been learning was the way to actually speak. I excitedly await every email that is sent out so that I may understand more. Thank you so much.
