Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! Today we’re going to a baseball game! Our conversation features a pitcher who’s got a problem with the umpire (or maybe it’s the other way around). We’ll review no ni and also take a look the te form followed by to. And if that wasn’t enough, we’ll learn some choice new vocabulary for trash talking on the field. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
