Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Walking back to your apartment in Japan, you suddenly remember you must make a doctor’s appointment for a physical. Your new employer requires that you take a physical to qualify for the company health and life insurance programs, and you have to get your physical this week. Using your new Japanese cell phone, you call the doctor’s office. You hear the receptionist say in Japanese, “This is the doctor’s office. How can I help you?” You hope your answer is understandable Japanese, “I’d like to make an appointment for a physical. I can come in from eleven to two in the afternoon.” Her answer comes immediately, “Of course, we do many physicals for company insurance programs. In fact, we have one doctor who dedicates half of his day just to giving physicals for school and work starting at twelve in the afternoon and continuing until six in the evening to accommodate people that can’t get off work to get them.” In Japanese, you answer, “Can I come in tomorrow sometime from four to six o’clock?” The helpful receptionist answers in Japanese, “I’m sorry; we’re all booked for tomorrow, but we’re not booked from Monday to Wednesday at that time. Could you come in on one of those days?” “Sure,” you answer in Japanese, “I’ll come in on Monday at six o’clock.”

There is utterly no escape from this form of Japanese torture! It would be one thing if your friend could sing well, but all your friend knows how to do is sing Japanese words in every key but the right one.

You decide to intervene and ask your friend in Japanese, “Can’t you decide what to do with your hands already?” Your friend responds in Japanese, “It’s a song I learned as a child. I love this song!” You reply in Japanese, “Well, here’s what your singing makes me want to do with my hands…” and you put your hands over your ears!
