Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Ahhh! It’s three o’clock in the morning, and you’re staring at the ceiling of your Japanese bedroom. You’ve tried everything you know of, but no matter what you do, you can’t stop replaying the events of your Japanese workday in your head. You need to fall asleep, or you’ll surely be less than bright eyed and bushy tailed for your meeting with the Japanese boss in the morning. It’s too late to take a sleeping pill, or you’ll sleep through your alarm, so you decide to try to sing yourself to sleep with a Japanese lullaby. Two Japanese verses in, you quit and tell yourself in Japanese, “This is ridiculous. I need to find something that works.” You decide to go to the fridge and drink some warm milk and eat a piece of cake. You tell yourself in Japanese, “If this doesn’t do the trick, nothing will. If I can’t sleep anymore, I’ll just go to work in two hours and come home early.”

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You wake up in a cold sweat in your Japanese bed. As you wait in the doctor’s waiting room, you become increasingly agitated. Even as a child, your mother always told you in Japanese, “You’re such a bad patient! You need to listen to the doctor’s advice and rest.” Unfortunately, the word “rest” has never been in your Japanese vocabulary, even at an early age. Where most kids always wanted to be sick to miss school, you couldn’t bear the thought of missing your Japanese class. So now when the nurse tells you in Japanese, “Let me take your temperature so we can see what is wrong with you,” you already are convincing yourself that you feel better so you can go to work. When the nurse reads the thermometer, she tells you in Japanese, “Wow, that’s a high fever! You should rest. If you don’t rest, you’ll start feeling worse. Sit still and the doctor will be with you in just a few minutes.” That is not the Japanese advice you wanted to hear!
