Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Today we have a conversation between two colleagues. One guy says he came across 2 tickets to a Seiji Ozawa concert. The other guy is a big fan!! Typically, these tickets are really expensive and hard to get. We’ll learn how to invite people to do things using the polite -masen ka construction. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and leave us a post!

Mina-san, at JPod world headquarters we listen to Seiji Ozawa 24 hours a day 365 days a year. We eat, drink, sleep, and breathe Seiji Ozawa. On rainy days we listen to his CD’s at full volume. It’s all KoreanClass101 Keith Kim’s idea.   :mrgreen:

I’m familiar with ‘if it’s okay/good’, but how do you say ‘if you want/like’? Or are both nuances covered by the former in Japanese?

By the way, is there a site similar to this that teaches Japanese people English?

Although not specifically targeted at Japanese speakers (I think they are just targeting those studying English), there is Anytime-English. I remember links to this one from a post in the forums at www.thejapanesepage.com, and you might want to read the comments there before completely mimicing the sounds of the speakers.

高校の時、私はクラシックのバンドでベースを弾いた。
KouKou no toki, watashi ha kurashikku no bando de be-su wo hiita.
In High school, I played bass in a classical band. (Orchestra?)

ベースはもうやめたのに。

ところで、あれは私の財布でした。 :mrgreen:

Paoloさんの調子に対してのコメントはちょっとわからなかった。
