Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! It’s Monday again, so that means it’s time to return to the Nihongo Dōjō with Naomi Sensei. In today’s lesson Fabrizio is comparing his expensive, Italian-made designer umbrella with Minami’s pathetic cheap-o model from the 100 Yen Shop. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
