Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You say out loud in Japanese, “I could study tonight; however, I could also go out for dinner.” Your roommate responds in Japanese, “I vote that we go out for dinner. I’m starving! Where do you want to go?” You reply in Japanese, “Oh, I’m sorry, I was just practicing forming sentences using some Japanese conjunctions I’m learning for the test. I’m not going out tonight.” Your roommate suggests in Japanese, “Well, you can’t eat conjunctions and survive. You need some dinner to help you stay focused.” You tell your roommate in Japanese, “Sure, but when it comes to dining with you, it’s never just a simple dinner: it’s always an appetizer, an entrée, and then a dessert. It’s a whole production. I need to study, so can we just have a quick meal?” Your roommate tells you in Japanese, “Sure, and then you can get back to your precious conjunctions!”
