To wake them up, you decide to engage them in Japanese conversation rather than just talk to them for the next hour.

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.

So you try hard to remember how to introduce yourself in Japanese. “I’m Natalia-san,” you say as you stretch your hand out to meet your new friend. As you do that, faces all around you grimace, and you realize immediately what you have done. Luckily, your friends realize you are still learning Japanese as your new friend stretches his hand back, grasps yours firmly, smiles, and replies in Japanese, “Nice to meet you, I’m Eric-san.” Everyone laughs and you are off to a great start. You have a great dinner, practicing your Japanese after correcting your horrible name-mistakes. As everyone makes plans to meet at a Japanese bar later, you exclaim in Japanese, “Sayōnara.” Everyone stops talking abruptly, and looks at you in shock! “Just kidding!” you laugh in Japanese!

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You carefully inspect the pile of Japanese food on your plate, and you contemplate your options. Your roommate knows you’re a picky eater, but you don’t want to offend his parents, who have taken you to dinner in a nice Japanese restaurant. You think to yourself in Japanese, “I could make a sculpture out of this mound of noodles, or maybe I could mash that stuff over there down so it looks like I’ve eaten more.” Your roommate, who has been watching you out of the corner of his eye, whispers to you in Japanese, “If you don’t like something, just leave it on your plate. It’s not a big deal.” You respond in Japanese, “Just tell me what stuff is that’s near the edge of my plate.” Your roommate responds in Japanese, “That’s just a special kind of Japanese noodle. It won’t bite you. Try it.” You put some of the Japanese food in your mouth, and while your roommate is correct that it’s not biting you, it’s doing all sorts of other things to your mouth.
