Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com. Let’s say you’re talking to your best friend, and she’s acting weird. Too formal and a bit stuffy. Can you tell her in Japanese, “Stop acting like a stranger”? What about if that friend does something really brave. Can you tell her she’s got guts in Japanese?
Take a look at this Yojijukugo lesson if these phrases fit the bill. This Japanese lesson teaches you to use taningyōgi na koto suru na yo (don’t be such a stranger) and daitanfuteki na kōdō (a fearless action). Chock full of real-world examples, this Japanese lesson is one you don’t want to miss.

Gretchen These have become my favorite part of the weekly lessons |

Eric great expressions again this week ~ I always learn a lot from these lessons |

Peter ゾランさん、I can definitely relate! There are still times when I am unsure of when to make the switch. Sometimes I’ll bring up the topic as a way of initiating a conversation on politeness. Then I follow it with, “how should we address one another?” Sam-san, hmm….what operating system and browser are you using? Vista? Please let us know by commenting, posting in the forum (those guys are really fast!) or e-mailing us. Thx! ヴィルモシュ＆ゆかさん、コメントを本当にありがとうございます！ Kieran-san, thank you for commenting and for the feedback! |

Zoran I need year and good Japanese friend(she) to figure how little difference mean everything in conversation, after one year she tell me “Could you stop , please writing’s like we first time meet” and explain me “Too much politnes between people who know each other long time make cold speak. It is not good and polite become rude”.Today I write with my friend casual. It is logical know each other long time, and same age and interest have. ゾラン |
