Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! This is our first Sights & Sounds Lesson. We snapped photos from around Tokyo and based stories on them. There are 27 lessons in this series, so we hope you enjoy them! In today’s lesson we’re talking about one of Naomi’s favorite sweets, kurēpu. Our conversation takes place in Harajuku, one Tokyo’s many fashion hot spots. Our grammar point is using negative verb endings with ka to make friendly invitations in formal or informal Japanese.
