Beginner Lesson S2 #33 - A Night at the Symphony II

July 11th, 2007 | help

Need help?

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Last week Inoue-san invited Yamada-san to a Seiji Ozawa concert. As we said before these tickets are quite expensive and hard to get. This week Inoue runs into a little trouble and we’ll find out why. Our grammar point is te shimau which is used to show completion of a past action or state, but often can be used to express disappointment or an undesired outcome. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and leave us a post!
