Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Do you like to read novels? In fact, do you like to read your favorite novels so much that you’ll revisit them again and again? I do, and have met my soul mate in the Japanese author Haruki Murakami. Every time I read one of his Japanese works, I am surprised by how much his Japanese words make me think and make me want to study his Japanese characters and insights over and over.
In this lesson, you will learn about award-winnning Japanese author Haruki Murakami. No matter how many times you read this Japanese author’s work, you’ll always come away having learned something new. Visit us at JapanesePod101.com, where you will find Japanese lesson notes (remember—this Advanced Audio Blog lesson is spoken entirely in Japanese!) and many more fantastic lessons and learning resources!

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! When things go wrong at work in Japan, they seem to snowball. For some reason, Mondays are always the worst! Over the weekend, people must worry about everything they have to do come Monday morning and start leaving you messages so they don’t have to keep worrying about it. When you show up and see your voicemail light flickering on your phone, you know you’re in for a deluge of bad news in Japanese.
In this lesson, you will learn how to formally give a reason for something in Japanese. This Japanese conversation takes place on the phone at work. In the first part, you’ll hear two voicemails. In the latter part, you’ll hear a Japanese conversation between two office workers. Since both are work conversations, the speakers are using formal Japanese.
