Introducing… YOU!
But wait!
How can you introduce yourself when making new Japanese friends? Well, it’s easier than you think!
Today we’ll learn some basic Japanese self-introductions that will help you make friends. Don’t want to talk about yourself the whole time? Don’t worry, because we’ll also learn how to ask basic questions using desu ka.
We’ll also get our first glimpse of the honorific suffix, -san, which is attached to people’s names. We’ll introduce the Japanese possessive particle no, similar to the possessive ’s in English. There’s a lot of great stuff packed into this concise Newbie Lesson, so don’t miss out on the fun!

Are there any “lyrics” with this episode? Usually the dialog is under the lyrics tab and it’s empty.

Thanks for all these lessons, Japanesepod is so amazing! I was just wondering, are there going to be any Ipod notes for these episodes? I can find them nowhere and they are so useful to me!
