Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You and your family are long overdue for a vacation, so you call a family meeting and ask them in Japanese, “Where do you want to go on vacation this year?” You hear a chorus of responses in Japanese, and all of them agree that the beach is the place to be. You tell them in Japanese, “Okay, that was easier than I expected. Now what about when to go?” Your spouse tells you in Japanese, “Well, we have to wait for the kids to finish school, and then I have a ton of papers I’ll have to grade. So we cannot go earlier than June.” One of your children speaks up and tells you in Japanese, “And I signed up for a two-week camp in July.” Another one replies in Japanese, “I have swimming lessons every week in July.” Writing all this down, you ask in Japanese, “Is there anything else to think about?” Your spouse flips through the calendar and says in Japanese, “Right now the first two weeks of August look good, but you know how things are. Even if we plan as well as we can, something always comes up! Let’s just pick a date so we can know not to plan other things.”
