Is this the keigo version:
Watashiwa atsuijanaidesu (couldn't type in Japanese for reason)

Actually I got a problem it's the fact that I don't have any vocabulary so I don't know any words and I am trying to learn from scratch is there some kid story books that I could buy or download on internet

Well; color me suprised. The worderful gender neutrality of honorifics is not reflected in the self-referential personal pronoun. I guess they're better left out after all. I will refer to mysrlf as Ben-san.

Gomenasai, I thought you meant "I'm hot". It's "boku wa atsukunai"

En español tampoco se necesita escribir el sujeto o pronombre personal en la mayoría de los casos debido a que los verbos cambian (se conjugan) para cada pronombre y tiempo verbal.

Just want to say thank you so much Yuta for organizing this free program! It's really helpful to have these videos as a guide to what real Japanese sounds like. I've read in some places that some Japanese textbooks will teach overly formal structures at times because they don't want foreigners to speak Japanese like actual natives, but it's really great to know that we have a native speaker like you to teach us the Japanese that real life Japanese people actually speak. Can't go to Japan sounding like a Gaijin or an anime character after all! 🙂
