Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! If only you had a magic mirror on the wall or a crystal ball that would tell you what your future in Japan holds for you! But alas, you’re on your own to make your own Japanese future. So you decide to take the bull by the horns and schedule an appointment with a Japanese career counselor. When you meet the counselor for the first time, you ask her in Japanese, “What do you think I should do with the rest of my life?” The counselor responds in Japanese, “Well, we just met, so it’s a little premature to make that assessment. But we can take some tests and I can interview you to figure out your likes and dislikes. Let’s start with a basic question…what do you see yourself doing in five years?” You respond in Japanese, “I don’t even know what I intend to do tomorrow! These are the kinds of things I came here to find out!”

It’s the holiday season! You can feel the excitement in the air, the children laughing, the carolers singing, families gathering…how many more days until Christmas? JapanesePod101.com can tell you! Well, sort of…. JapanesePod101.com’s annual Reverse Christmas Countdown begins today! Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa - regardless of what holiday you celebrate, everyone can enjoy the celebration happening at JapanesePod101.com! As of today, EVERYTHING in JapanesePod101.com’s inventory is 25% OFF the retail price. But…how is that a countdown?
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. So use Coupon Code XMAS2009 to take advantage of JapanesePod101.com’s Christmas Countdown before it’s just a memory of Christmases past…
Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Your friend says in Japanese, “You must see this! You won’t believe it. I think it’s one of the most beautiful shrines in all of Japan.” You ask him in Japanese, “What is it called?” He explains in Japanese, “It’s the Izumo Taisha shrine. It’s special and different from the other shrines in Japan. At certain times of the year, eight million deities come to the shrine and hold conversations.” You answer him in Japanese, “Surely that’s really noisy, and how do they all fit in the shrine?” Your Japanese friend gives you one of those looks that says he knows you’re just joking, but be careful with comments like that. Still, he appreciates your sense of humor because he smiles, too, as he begins to explain further in Japanese, “Let me explain the ritual for this shrine, because it’s different than other Japanese shrines.” You answer gratefully in Japanese, “Thank you. I do want to see the shrine. We’ve been to a number of them in the past few months, and they were all impressive and thought provoking. How many Japanese shrines are there?” He answers in Japanese, “Thousands. And we’d better get going if we’re going to visit them all.”
