Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! “Are you going to Osaka? How are you going to get there?” “I’m going by train. When does the next train leave for Osaka?” That Japanese conversation can soon be yours. If you’re going to Japan, getting to know the trains in Japan and when they run is an important thing. Trains are used a lot in Japan - and it’s easy to get around on them, but you do have to know the Japanese words and phrases for trains, stations, and time schedules. Otherwise, you might end up in Sapporo instead of Fukuoka. But that’s okay if you don’t mind being 1100 miles off in the wrong direction in Japan! As a second precaution though, it might just be easier to learn these Japanese phrases.
Learning Japanese with JapanesePod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Japanese! This Japanese Newbie lesson helps anyone get around on the trains in Japan. You’ll not only learn the Japanese words of travel, but you’ll learn how to make sure those around you, such as ticket-sellers and conductors, understand the questions you ask in Japanese as well as the answers. Otherwise, you could be lost and stranded in Japan. It’s JapanesePod101.com to the rescue.

Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! What’s the time? It’s time to get shūri (repairs). What are we getting repaired this time? Udedokei! (a watch!) Our grammar point is using no ni to express purpose or aim. We’ll also discuss using the subject marker ga to clarify the meaning of kakaru. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Very often in every language, we have words that sound the same. Take for instance the following conversation: “Would you like a pear? I have two.” “Of course a pair is two. Or are you saying you have two pairs, which is four?” “No, I don’t have four, I only have two pears.” “But two pairs is four.” “Oh, forget it, I’m just going to get a knife and pare the pears.” “Why are you trying to match up pairs? Are they socks?” When words sound the same but have different meanings, things can get very confusing, as is the case in today’s dialogue when our speakers have a double Mac attack!! However, the more Japanese words you learn, the less you will find yourself in these confusing situations – so let’s get started, that is, unless you are having a REAL Japanese Mac attack – then we can wait.
