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. However, I don’t recommend starting conversations with strangers by telling them you HAVE a cold, so make sure you know how to form these Japanese sentences correctly. Otherwise, you’re not likely to make people in Japan – or anywhere else – want to get too close to you!
Learning Japanese with JapanesePod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Japanese! This Japanese Newbie lesson will teach you how to discuss the weather in polite conversation. Hot, cold, cool, and not hot, not cold, not cool, as well as just right are just some of the words and phrases you’ll learn in this lesson. You’ll be ready to praise or complain about the weather in no time. Visit us at JapanesePod101.com where you will find many more fantastic Japanese lessons and learning resources!
