Level: Newbie Season 3
Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You know how it goes. You find a really nice girl, she speaks Japanese, and eventually she wants you to meet her family in Japan. This time it’s worse though. You have to go to her home for the weekend to meet the family so you won’t be able to exit gracefully after a couple of hours. You’re stuck for the entire weekend. Well, it’s now or never…you are already at her parents’ door. Boy, everyone’s here - mother, father, siblings, grandparents. Your girlfriend’s mother greets you politely in Japanese, “Nice to meet you. Come on in. Well, she sure picked a tall, good-looking one this time.” You know, that kind of talk from a girlfriend’s mother feels a little weird, especially the very first time you meet. Here comes her father…he grabs your hand firmly (looking you up and down) and asks in Japanese, “Hi. Want a drink? How about a fresh, cold beer?” Well, at least her father isn’t acting rough like something out of the movies, trying to scare you. Uh-oh, siblings. Those can be trouble. No telling what they’ll say. They take turns telling you in Japanese, “You must be the boyfriend. We hope you’re quieter and cooler than the last one. Maybe you’ll be nicer and last longer. Or not.” You hope her father has a good supply of beer. This could be a long weekend…
Learning Japanese with JapanesePod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Japanese! This Japanese Newbie lesson is about combining Japanese adjectives.
