Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! I often wonder whether great tragedy begets great art. It seems that so many Japanese authors and other artists were plagued by tragic events during their childhood that shaped them and that echo throughout their works. The Japanese author we profile today is no exception: his is a tragic story from beginning to end. In this lesson, you will learn about Japanese author Yasunari Kawabata. First, we’ll give you some background on the childhood that informed his Japanese stories. Next, we’ll share the plot behind his best-known work in Japanese, and finally, we’ll tell you about his accomplishments and explain why his writing is so popular in Japan. Visit us at JapanesePod101.com, where you will find Japanese lesson notes (remember—this Advanced Audio Blog lesson is spoken entirely in Japanese!) and many more fantastic lessons and learning resources!

Ok, well that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but when it comes to learning Japanese, knowing your learning profile will help you save time and even a little bit of money too!
In today’s Cheat Sheet lesson, we’ll tell you about 6 of the most common learning profiles. Which one are you? Click play to find out.
Going to a hot spring or public bath? You’ll need to know the proper etiquette if you want to be comfortable and get the most of your time there. In this series we’ll walk you through step by step, so you can bathe like a pro and impress everyone with your knowledge of Japanese culture! Will introduce the basic use of the volitional forum of Japanese verbs, used to indicate willingness or desire or suggestions. We’ll also learn how to make grammatical constructions using the Japanese auxiliary verb garu, which connotes that something “shows signs of something” and is a useful way of stating observations in the Japanese language.
