Learn Real Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! Kumi and Kenji are driving back to Tokyo after spending Golden Week out of town. Problem is, they’re not the only ones. Now they’re stuck in 4 km traffic jam, part of the yearly U-Turn Rush. We’ll focus on some formal language used on television and radio, traffic terms and a rather easy grammar point, -tto. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!

Depends if I’m the driver or passenger.

If I’m the passenger, I usually make funny faces at the other cars and try to make people angry. Keeps me entertained for a long time.

If I was on my own I’d listen to some Jpod lessons and practice some shadowing, otherwise I’d try engaging in the ancient art of conversation :mrgreen:

Another good challenging lesson today :twisted: I find that anything more monologue than dialogue tends to be a lot harder to break down, which is why the news is such a nightmare :hachimaki:

Not make people laugh? Make them angry?? そのfunny facesを見てみたいです。

Shadowing definitely works!! 私も、時々、英語のシャドーイングをします。最近サボっていますが…。

I think the most difficult part is Vocabulary and phrases in this conversation. PDFを見ながら聞けば、文法はそんなに悪くはないと思います。 :wink:

お花見しましたよ。きれいでしたが、寒かったです。ちょっと、風邪をひきました。
ゴールデンウィークは、たぶん、山梨で魚釣りをします。 :razz:

寒かったでしょうね。ここの弘前も意外と寒くて、僕も風邪引いちゃいました。けど、それは2週間前なので、もう治ってきました。お釣り楽しんでください、このレッソンに習った通り、ご無事に。
