Rough night last night?” You respond in Japanese, “Very funny…let me come over there and cough on you and we’ll see whether I’m hung over or really sick.” The receptionist responds in Japanese, “That’s gross.

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! “Are you cold?” your friend asks? “No,” you answer in Japanese, “I’m not cold; I’m just fine.” Now you’ve just hit on a universal topic of discussion in Japan and everywhere else in the world - the weather. On your trip to Japan, you’ll want to be able to talk about the weather in Japanese. It’s one of the best ways to start conversations with almost anyone, young, old, and in between.

Otherwise, you’re not likely to make people in Japan – or anywhere else – want to get too close to you!

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Your friend asks in Japanese, “How are we going to get through our new class? That teacher seems really tough. What do you think of her?” Your Japanese answer hides your real thoughts, “I don’t know; it shouldn’t be too difficult. I think our teacher really wants us to succeed, and if she wants us to succeed, she’ll do what’s necessary to help us learn. She really knows all about the material and the subject. She has an advanced degree. Her previous classes really like her. Sure, she looks like she’ll be harsh, but I’m sure she has our best interests at heart. She’s available after hours for extra work if you need it. Some of the exercises she uses in the classroom she devised herself and they have won awards for innovation in education. Her Japanese is perfect, so there’s no problem understanding what she’s saying. She has even arranged special field trips so we can see how the things she teaches are applied out in the world. I think her class will be really good.” Your friend looks at you with suspicion and asks in Japanese, “Say, how do you know so much about this teacher? She’s new this year. How can you know all that stuff about her and her teaching methods?” Quietly, you reply in Japanese, “Because she’s my Mom.”
