Need help?

Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! At school there are always a few students who don’t fit in. A good teacher worries about these students and tries to help them succeed. In today’s lesson we have a familiar situation. It’s a bit of a serious lesson, so time to be majime and study hard! Today’s lesson reviews kuse ni and introduces a very advanced grammar point (we’re talking JLPT1 here), ja arumai shi. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
