Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You’re amidst a big pile of Japanese paper when your roommate walks in. She asks you in Japanese, “What are you doing with all that clutter?” Defiantly, you say in Japanese, “It’s not clutter. This is my new project for our apartment.” Your roommate responds in Japanese, “Oh really? You’ve got another project? What are you working on now?” You reply in Japanese, “I’m making some origami to hang on our wall. I can’t decide whether to make cranes or something else, though. She says in Japanese, “I vote for something else…like maybe nothing!” You respond in Japanese, “That’s not very nice.” She defensively replies in Japanese, “Well, I just know the last project didn’t turn out so well. I don’t care, so long as you clean up the mess. Remember that we are having a bunch of our Japanese friends over in an hour for drinks!” You had totally forgotten, but you decide to play it cool and say in Japanese, “Oh, of course. I’ll be done in half an hour, and then I’ll clean it up.” Looking around you at the paper on the floor, you better start cleaning now. You haven’t even finished one of the ten cranes you were planning to fold tonight!
