We’re continuing to take a look at asking and giving directions in Japanese. Yasumi has started his journey and is going to change trains at Ikebukuro station (one of the 3 busiest train stations in the world!). There are a lot of different types of trains, including local and express. So he’ll have to ask which is the right train to take. Our grammar point is nara, a conditional form of the copula. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
Today we seriously power up the basic expressions we taught you last week! Today you get the tools to turn at-leasts-your-trying expressions into looks of astonishment. These are the real deal! Get ready to start turning some heads.

We’ll be using this one for a while, so we take the time to break it down for you and explain the Japanese as this will be daily practice for you. So be sure to iTune in!
