Level: Newbie Lessons (S3)
Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! “What’s wrong, my friend? You look confused.” Your friend is staring at a large map and it has Japanese writing on it. “I am confused,” he says, although he’s mumbling his Japanese. “What’s got you confused?” you ask in Japanese. “I can’t figure out how to get from here to there. This map of Japan is too confusing. I actually think I’ve got it turned upside down…do I? It sure would help if I could tell north from south in Japanese!” Laughing, you assure him in Japanese, “It’s not upside down, but it is turned ninety degrees.” Frustrated, he replies in Japanese, “I can’t read the Japanese compass directions or the trail signs.” “What’s this all about?” you ask in Japanese, “What are you trying to do?” “The hiking trail we’re walking tomorrow is supposed to be great, but we have to use a compass and this map to find our way through the Japanese hiking trail, and the map is entirely in Japanese! We’re going to be lost in the Japanese wilderness!” Your friend tends to be overly dramatic at times. He just needs a little confidence and you can give it to him by helping him with the Japanese writing on the map. “No, you’re not going to be lost. Let’s start with the compass points. Do you even own a compass?” He shows you the one that came attached to key ring he got last week. This could be a problem. As you write “www.JapanesePod101.com” on a piece of paper and hand it to him, you tell him, “First, you’re going to need a real compass, not one of those trinkets that come in cereal boxes.”
