Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com. You can’t make plans without agreeing on a day, right? A certain someone might ask you, in Japanese, “Are you free next Friday?” Not understanding him or her might make you miss the date you’ve been waiting for. You’ll also need to ask questions like, “What day is the orientation?” in Japanese. Without these skills, your social and professional life in Japan might be pretty confusing!

Use this newbie Japanese lesson to learn all about the days of the week. You won’t just learn how to say them, you’ll learn to ask questions like, Kyō wa nan-yōbi desu ka?(what day is it today?). Talk about upcoming events and make plans in Japanese using this awesome JapanesePod101.com lesson.

learn Japanese, week

I went from Canada to South Carolina for the weekend–it was COLDER there than in Toronto! I had to scrape ice off my windshield in the morning. Yikes.

I’m considering trying James Heisig’s method of learning Kanji (ie essentially learning the kanji in English, without their pronunciation FIRST, then learning the pronunciation second.) Apparently this is an effective self-study method, but not commonly used in classes. Has anyone used it? Anyone think it’s a bad idea? I like how it teaches the writing and reading of Kanji–I can’t seem to learn the Kanji just by rote: I don’t know the stroke order, the way to write the Kanji at all, they all look like Rorshach tests to me. Heisig’s method makes sense (his “Learning the Hiragana” and “Learning the Katakana” worked a CHARM for me.)

Am I doing something wrong or have the wrong words come in for the Review Track for this lesson?

Naomi says:

Enrico-san

Thank you so much for pointing out the mistake!!!
We really appreciate it. :dogeza:

Tess-san

You were right!
The Review Track has been fixed.
Thank you for letting us know. :dogeza:

テッド says:

Is there a way to refresh iTunes to get the correct review and grammar lessons. I still have the wrong ones in my library. ありがとうございます。

avatar
JKid says:

テッド-san,
I could be completely wrong about this but I think if you close iTunes, delete the “wrong” files and restart iTunes, right click on thin your library and select ‘update podcast’ the new (correct) files should download. :)

avatar
JKid says:

エリック-san,
I say go for it, I have had to stop studying RTK for a bit but I have found the method to very beneficial.

avatar
テッド says:

JKid-san, thanks for trying, but that didn’t work. The fix that worked for me was to download the files manually, put them in the “JapanesePod101.com _ Premium Feed” folder with the same file name as the ones I removed. Then I had to go to iTunes and select “get info” for each each file.

Tess Dasey says:

I’ve noticed the the Grammar File is also incorrect. It has last week’s lesson in it!

avatar
Tess Dasey says:

And furthermore … does anyone know when “THIS WEEK” turns into “NEXT WEEK”? e.g. if today is Monday 17th and I’m asking about the next Friday 21st, is it konshuu no kinyoubi or reishuu no kinyoubi ????? Even in English it’s a little confusing, as I reckon the 21st would be either “this Friday” or “next Friday”. Both would indicate the same day to me!

avatar
maxiewawa says:

Tess-san, that sounds like a question for the ages. Something mankind has been puzzling over since the dawn of time.

JapanesePod101.com says:

Tess Dasey-san

The grammar track has been fixed.
Thanks again!

Those Video-Vocabs are really great and effective :dogeza: :kokoro: !
I am able to remember the vocabs much better, when I see the large Kanji and Kana on my display together with the nice voices and the lovely and groovy music!
