Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! As a woman living in Japan, you are relieved that the Japanese train you take offers women-only cars. At rush hour in Japan, the train is crowded, and so many strong and different smells overwhelm you! Perhaps Japanese women take better care of themselves, or perhaps they bring less pungent Japanese food for lunch. Whatever the difference, you are happy to hop on board a women-only car in Japan!

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to use Japanese intransitive verbs. Our Japanese conversation takes place on a platform and on a train. The conversation is mostly an announcement by a train conductor, and therefore the speaker will be speaking extra-formal Japanese. You’ll also learn about women-only train cars in Japan. Visit us at JapanesePod101.com, where you will find many more fantastic Japanese lessons and learning resources! Leave us a message while you are there!

ありませんが、同じの物を起こった。
関西の線で、急いでいたし、キューの最後に走ってきた。みんなが車の左側に座ってしたので、私は走って車の右側の空な部分に座っていた。それから「なぜ他の20人が左側に座にっているんでか」と思いました。
隣の人を見ると、満身入れ墨のした人でした 。怖い顔をして私を見た。だからレッスンの仕手のように、次の駅で迅速に降ろし、次の電車を待っていた。

Even Japanese get confused with train systems sometimes.
