Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Japanese differs from English in that things are inferred to all the time. That means that you can speak about a range of things, even with a limited vocabulary. It’s time for you to discover how to make the Japanese tendency to use inference to your advantage.

In this newbie Japanese lesson, discover how sentence patterns using desu work for you. This word is the key to inference in Japanese, so you’ll be able to ask things like, “Is that a school?” even if you don’t know the word for “school.” In fact, as long as the subject of your sentence is clear, you can say just about anything you want! This is one Japanese lesson you can’t afford to miss!
