Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You are in a HUGE hurry today! You have a million errands to run for your new boss in Tokyo, and he is not the type of boss that likes to be kept waiting! Finally getting through traffic, you are relieved to see there is a fantastic parking spot right in front of one of the Japanese offices you have to visit. You park your car, climb out, and light a cigarette, instantly overwhelmed by the Japanese signs everywhere. There are brightly colored signs below you, above you, and some pointing towards the sky, and all of them are written in Japanese. You have no idea what all these Japanese signs mean, but you have no time to think about that right now… “Oh, hello officer,” you say in Japanese as you turn and come face to face with an angry looking Japanese police officer. This Japanese officer is very anxious to explain the meaning of some of the street signs in Tokyo for you…for instance, “no smoking,” and “no parking.” It’s just easier to be prepared!

Hey, these are pretty great.
It’s nice how you cover each of the parts
individually before putting them together.
I like the music too.
