Learning Japanese is Fun at JapanesePod101.com! In today’s conversation, Ai-chan and Yuki-chan are shopping in Ameyokocho. Yuki bought a crêpe and is enjoying its tasty goodness and Ai-chan wants a piece of the action. Our grammar point is using the causative with the meaning of “to let someone do something.” Next time you want to eat your friend’s food, this will come in very handy. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!

Ameyokocho, Taito-ku, Tokyo, Japan

皆さんはクレープに目が肥えているそうですけど、私はあまり食べていないので、何の種類がいいか分からないわけです。

I have a whole dictionary of idioms, and there are quite a few using 目. They’re definitely interesting from a cultural perspective, and no doubt make you sound more natural, but it’s hard to really learn them without seeing them come up anywhere. Suppose I’ll have to wait until I can read something more intellectual than Doraemon :lol:

日本のクレープは美味しいすぎる!(I hope this is ok.) I miss Japanese crepes!
一回食べました。アタシのはいちごとチョコレートでした。

Hm, I’m not premium, so I’m not sure if he was in this lesson or not, but I’m curious to see pictures of Yuichi. (I hope this is how you spell it! I have a hard time with long vowels.) :P
Ah, I haven’t posted in so long, but I still listen to every lesson…I think I’ve listened to them all since you started…hopefully! :grin: J-Podのみんなさん、ありがとうございます! :kokoro:
Hmm, I know we’re past survival phrases, but I think maybe a lesson on asking what something tastes like would be helpful! When I got to Japan I knew I wanted to try a lot of food, but I didn’t know, for instance, what kind of udon to order since I didn’t know how to ask what it tasted like.

さくらさんはどこでしょうか?

markystar says:

LOL I’ll be sure to look forward to it, then.

unfortunately, naomi is not a man, so she won’t be appearing in the “men of jpod” calendar. :lol:

ジャービジ says:

I think I requested a Girls of Jpod 2008 Swimsuit Edition calendar for the store before, but it never came to be :lol:

If the picture of Naomi-sensei could also include high heels, it would be appreciated :wink: :lol:

What is the difference between onegashimasu and Kudasai and what is most used?

Naomi says:

Ivonne C. Goodman-san
If you asked for tangible object, both [item] o onegaishimasu and [item] o kudasai are common and interchangeable.
