Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! As you are approaching Mt. Fuji on the Japanese tour bus, your tour operator gets a bit excited. She starts saying in Japanese, “Mt. Fuji is the most revered mountain in Japan.” As you look out the window, she continues in Japanese, “It’s an active volcano, though it hasn’t erupted in a few hundred years. The Japanese love this mountain so much that they teach all Japanese children a song about it in the third grade. Do you want to learn that song?” As you scream out in your head in Japanese, “No!” you hear a chorus of “Yes” in Japanese around you. As the tour leader starts singing in Japanese, you look at your travel companion, roll your eyes, and say in Japanese, “Now this song is going to be stuck in my head the rest of our trip.” Your companion looks at you, smiles, and starts singing the song to you in Japanese!

As a musician, as a music teacher, and as a Japanese learner, I think it’s wonderful that you are doing songs now! Songs are great because each word is nice and slow. Song lyrics are usually poetic, too, so that’s a bonus. I’m looking forward to more songs like this and all kinds of songs!! :grin:

Jessi says:
