1/2, 2/3… we use fractions quite often in daily life.
In this video I teach the basics of how to read fractions and we will practice some examples together until you can read them easily

I never learned 分母 and 分子. Interesting, maybe I can remember them now.
I still get confused by how to use 割 like 二割. Does it mean 20% or 50%. I have to stop and think.

２割means 20%. ５割 is 50%

Right. That's the confusing part. If you break something into two halves then it's 50%. If you break it into five pieces that's 20%.
２つに割れる vs. 2割

Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing your video on this topic.

Thank you very much. I think these kinds of things are interesting because students usuallydon´t learn them. but so few people watch my videos and I was feeling a little bit sad about it. So you don´t imagine how glad I am for your message here like this. Thank you very much, indeed

Have you tried TikTok? I think your short-form videos would quickly find an audience.

Thank you very much for a nice and kind suggestion. ActuallyI tried to open Tik Tok but as I have the spanish language explained version and my facebook originally was in Spanish version. I have some difficulties to open tik tok channel only in English. So I use Tik Tok but in Spanish account and I upload English and Spanish both versioin short videos. My Spanish version have got always more audience than English version, the same as in Instagram. Quite dificult to have English Speaking Audience for me. Anyway I will try keep on working in English explained version I thank you for your kindness
