Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Your friend asks in Japanese, “What are you going to do after school?” You respond in Japanese, “Do you mean today?” Frustrated, you reply in Japanese, “No, I mean after you graduate…what are you going to do?” Having successfully avoided this conversation for quite some time, you can’t help but be annoyed as you answer in Japanese, “I don’t know what I’m going to do. Do you know?” Your friend confidently answers in Japanese, “Yes, I’m going to get married. I want some children - two boys and two girls. Do you want to have children?” Wondering if your friend has been talking to your mother you answer sharply in Japanese, “I don’t know!” Your friend sure is full of questions. She continues in Japanese, “How much longer until you’re graduated? Have you met anyone special that you’d like to marry? What if you don’t find someone right away? Do you think you’ll find someone anytime soon? If you don’t find someone, what will you do then?” Feeling short of breath and thinking you may pass out soon, you explode in Japanese, “I’m not sure! I haven’t thought that far ahead. I won’t finish school for a while yet, and I’m focusing on school. I have to finish school before I think of anything else, and I’m late for my Japanese class now. I’ve got to go. We can talk later, and I’ll answer your questions then! Are you done?!”

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You call up your good friend on Friday night and ask him in Japanese, “Hey buddy, what are your plans for tonight?” He responds in Japanese, “Um, nothing…I just want to stay in and catch up on house chores and watch some television.” You reply in Japanese, “You’ve got to be kidding me. Are you twenty-five or fifty-five years old?” He laughs and tells you in Japanese, “I just don’t feel like hitting the bar scene tonight. It’s always the same old thing, the same old drinks, the same old girls, and the same old lines. I’m tired of it.” You tease him in Japanese, “You ARE fifty-five years old. You know, I just heard a new Japanese word people are using for people like you.” He responds in Japanese, “Oh yeah? What’s that?”

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Your friend says in Japanese, “You must see this! You won’t believe it. I think it’s one of the most beautiful shrines in all of Japan.” You ask him in Japanese, “What is it called?” He explains in Japanese, “It’s the Izumo Taisha shrine. It’s special and different from the other shrines in Japan. At certain times of the year, eight million deities come to the shrine and hold conversations.” You answer him in Japanese, “Surely that’s really noisy, and how do they all fit in the shrine?” Your Japanese friend gives you one of those looks that says he knows you’re just joking, but be careful with comments like that. Still, he appreciates your sense of humor because he smiles, too, as he begins to explain further in Japanese, “Let me explain the ritual for this shrine, because it’s different than other Japanese shrines.” You answer gratefully in Japanese, “Thank you. I do want to see the shrine. We’ve been to a number of them in the past few months, and they were all impressive and thought provoking. How many Japanese shrines are there?” He answers in Japanese, “Thousands. And we’d better get going if we’re going to visit them all.”
