Need help?

Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! Today is Agnes’ big presentation! It’s her chance to prove how hard she’s been working on her first big project at Design Office J. But there’s just one problem: she’s been working so late recently and she nebō shicchatta - over slept! Our grammar point is bāi de wa nai, used to describe inappropriate actions in a particular time and/or place. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave Agnes a post!
