Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! Heros stand up for what is right. They protect the innocent and serve as role models for everyone to emulate. Sometimes you can become a hero just by being in the right place at the right time and doing the right thing. That’s what happened to Ryu-kun the other day… sort of. Our grammar point, tokoro, is one of the most useful tools for specifying tense in Japanese! Very useful considering the simple verb structure of this language. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
