Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Famous lines uttered by Japanese leaders can give you valuable insight not only into their leadership styles but also into their character. For instance, what do you think a Japanese leader famed for his quote about wartime battles would be remembered for? Perhaps he’d be best known for his militant style, and it’s unlikely he’d be a leader of Japan who urged his people to put down their swords.
In this lesson, you will learn about Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a famous Japanese historical figure. We’ll tell you about the thoughtful act that kick started Hideyoshi’s successful career in Japan. In addition, you’ll learn about what he did for his people as the leader of Japan.

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.
