Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You wake up in a cold sweat in your Japanese bed. As you wait in the doctor’s waiting room, you become increasingly agitated. Even as a child, your mother always told you in Japanese, “You’re such a bad patient! You need to listen to the doctor’s advice and rest.” Unfortunately, the word “rest” has never been in your Japanese vocabulary, even at an early age. Where most kids always wanted to be sick to miss school, you couldn’t bear the thought of missing your Japanese class. So now when the nurse tells you in Japanese, “Let me take your temperature so we can see what is wrong with you,” you already are convincing yourself that you feel better so you can go to work. When the nurse reads the thermometer, she tells you in Japanese, “Wow, that’s a high fever! You should rest. If you don’t rest, you’ll start feeling worse. Sit still and the doctor will be with you in just a few minutes.” That is not the Japanese advice you wanted to hear!

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! After an intense session on the dance floor at a Japanese nightclub, you rejoin your friends at the bar. You ask your Japanese friends how you looked while you were dancing, and they seem to not know what to say. Finally, one person pipes up and explains that you might be better off with the other animals at the Japanese zoo. You’re surprised at the criticism, but that would explain why everyone else exited the dance floor!
In this lesson, you will learn how to talk about animate objects in Japanese using imasu. You’ll also learn how to form tag questions in Japanese. The conversation takes place at the zoo in Japan between three distant family members; therefore, they are speaking formal Japanese.

Do you feel overworked? Think you might be working yourself to death? In Japan, people really do, quite literally, work themselves to death (karōshi). In this lesson, we talk about the contributing factors in Japanese society that cause karōshi. It may seem unimaginable, but it’s a serious reality of the Japanese lifestyle. If you’re studying for JLPT1 or JLPT2, you’ll need to know how to use naninani wo ii koto ni… suru, which is used to describe “taking advantage of a situation by underhanded means.” Also we’ll take a look at words useful for describing statistical relationships. These are must-know phrases if you plan to do business in Japanese (and subsequently work yourself to death, lol).
