Why not?” Your friends have been talking to you about Japanese culture and numbers. “Everyone needs a lucky number,” they exclaim in Japanese! “How about forty-two?” you ask in Japanese; you’ve always liked the way forty-two sounds in Japanese. They look at you as if you’re working with an odd number of chopsticks. “You know…,” you say, “The number forty-two, like in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; the answer to life, the universe, and everything.” Now they’re sure you’ve got a screw loose. “Japanese numbers have meaning,” they explain in Japanese, “Some Japanese numbers are unlucky, and some are very lucky. Some are lucky depending on when you were born. Haven’t you picked out your lucky and unlucky Japanese numbers?” You confess this is all news to you and you haven’t the slightest notion of what’s lucky and unlucky in Japanese numbers. “What about a number between eleven and nineteen?” you ask, because those are the numbers you just learned in Japanese. “Well, it’s time you began your introduction to the symbols of Japanese numbers,” they say, and they lead you off to the computer, the modern-day numerologist to find your lucky and unlucky Japanese numbers.

To wake them up, you decide to engage them in Japanese conversation rather than just talk to them for the next hour. You ask one of your colleagues in Japanese, “Can you tell me how we would generate a sales report from this software?” Your colleague replies in Japanese, “No, not really. Can you tell me how to do it?” You ask the rest of the class in Japanese, “Do any of you know how to run the report?” No one speaks up in Japanese; instead, they all just look down. You inquire further in Japanese, “So that means none of you know how to run the report? Do any of you understand what I’m telling you?”

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! “Come watch the television with us,” your friends tell you in Japanese. Since they spoke in Japanese, you answer in the same, “Why, what’s so important to watch?” “The launch,” they reply in Japanese. “Don’t you know about the launch?” “What launch? Is it a boat? A ship? A new vacation cruise ship?” They all look at you as if you were a little off. Of course, your friends are all very savvy in technology, but you’re not, so you get those kinds of looks often. “The rocket launch,” they say, “Don’t you know the Japanese Space Agency is launching a rocket today?” You didn’t even know Japan had a space agency. “They’re televising the launch, and we all want to watch it. Come with us. It’ll be great.” Well, they are your friends, so you decide to go along. At least the picture on the television is a really good one.
