Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com!  We’ve reached lesson 10 in the Dōjō!  That means it’s time to review what we’ve learned.  In today’s lesson, Shū accidentally gives Fabrizio’s precious umbrella to a customer and then troubles ensues!  We’ll be covering everything from the affirmative and negative copula, to no and ka; from asking questions to making statements, and we’re even giving you a sneak peak at informal Japanese.  It’s sounds like a lot, but these are basic building blocks!  After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
