Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! These past few days have been very trying for poor Agnes. She’s been sick and suffering from a lot of stress at work. But today she gets a phone call from her mother, so things are probably bound to turn around! It might seem like an easy grammar point, but sometimes it’s good to review the basics of daily Japanese, so for the last lesson of the year, we’re going to review mou and mada one last time. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
