Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa - regardless of what holiday you celebrate, everyone can enjoy the celebration happening at JapanesePod101.com!

Beginning today, everything in JapanesePod101.com’s inventory is 25% Off. Yes, everything! That means Basic Subscriptions, Premium Subscriptions, CDs, DVDs, even our incredible Gengo products - if we have it, it’s 25% OFF! But each day, the discount drops 1%. So tomorrow, the discount will be 24%, and the next day - 23%, and so on, all the way through Christmas Day. On Christmas Day, the discount will have dropped all the way to 13%. Still a good discount, but obviously, the faster you act, the more you save! So keep listening in, as every day that passes, the discount will get smaller and smaller. And sadly, as much as we would LOVE to have Christmas all year round, it just wouldn’t be as special if we did. Just as Christmas must come and go, so will JapanesePod101.com’s Christmas Countdown promotion - it will disappear with Christmas on December 25th.

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Your friend asks in Japanese, “What are you studying?” You answer in Japanese, “I’m studying this information from my new company. They have a good plan for employees. Everyone who works for the company can buy company stock at a discount. What do you think I should do?” Your Japanese friend ponders and you can see conflicting emotions cross his face as he answers in Japanese, “Well, I don’t know, sometimes that has worked out really well. My friend made a lot of money with the company employee-stock purchase plan, but for a couple of my other friends it wasn’t so good. The company kept losing money and the stock kept going down so they lost money. I don’t know if it makes a difference whether it’s a Japanese company or not. What sort of a deal do you get?” You look at the papers and answer him in Japanese, “Well, the money is deducted directly from the paycheck, and we get the stock at fifteen percent off the stock exchange price at the beginning of the month.” Nodding in approval, your friend answers, “Wow, that’s a great deal. If the stock just holds even for the month, you can make fifteen percent on your money. You should do this.” Your friend tends to speak Japanese too rapidly for you when he’s excited. “Could you repeat that? A bit more slowly?”

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! The essential question is “Were you taken advantage of or not?” The Japanese salesman talked you into buying a motorcycle! A Japanese motorcycle. You had gone to the showroom to look at them, but not because you were really serious about buying one. You just thought they looked great. Japanese motorcycles are known for their unusual, ground-breaking designs. The salesman was so nice, and he didn’t insult your ignorance of motorcycles, and he was patient. And he told you that story about being worried about his job if he didn’t sell another motorcycle this month. You didn’t want him to lose his job, and you really liked the Japanese designs. So you felt a little sorry for him…and you went the full distance. You got all the gear. Now, you’re going to surprise your friend by arriving for lunch by motorcycle. You call out to your girlfriend in Japanese, “You still have three blocks to walk to the restaurant. Wouldn’t you like to ride?” Puzzled, she asks in Japanese, “Do I know you?” Remembering your helmet, you yell out over the roaring engine in Japanese, “Wait, let me take this helmet off. There.” Shocked, she yells back in Japanese, “What are you doing on this motorcycle?” Proudly, you reply, “I bought it? How do you like it?” Attempting to be supportive, your girlfriend stammers and finally offers in Japanese, “But how can a girl ride a motorcycle?”
