Learn Polite Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! Today we continue our conversation in the cafe. Tom is still trying to strike up a conversation with Junko, but it seems like he’s still trying a bit too hard (not the smoothest foreigner with an Ibaraki accent, lol). He explains his study habits using yō ni suru, which expresses modification of habitual actions, in this case his study habits as related to learning Japanese. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!

Mina-san, Tom’s still at it. Do you think he has any chances with Junko?
Temporary Notice:
Mina-san, today’s Video Vocab is not currently available. We’ll update as soon as it becomes available. Thanks in advance for your understanding. よろしくお願いします!
トムさんは「日本人を話しかけるようにしてます」といいましたら、間違えたと思います。
でも、多分チャンスがまだあると思います。

Where’s the Video Vocabulary?
And this week’s newbie lesson didn’t have Video Vocabulary either.
That Tom guy is CREEPY !!!
I thought his study plan was OK, up until his last line….
トムさんはいままでよくがんばっています。確かにトムさんはちょっと気持ち悪い、本音を言い過ぎますから。けど、あいつしょうじきで前向きな人とおもいます。
でも、シェイクスピアたかはし代わりに無理かな。
僕もトムさんみたいで日本語を上達するためにたくさん日本のドラマやアニメを見るようにしているんです。結構効果があると思う。
でもやっぱり可愛い日本人の女の子に話しかけるのは最高の方法ですね。
i think トムさん may take the prize as creepiest character yet. but this is only part 2… do you think he’ll get any creepier or do you think there’s hope for him?
btw - sorry about the delay in the Video Vocab, it’s still not available, but i’ll make an announcement as soon as it goes live.
