Learn Japanese Hot Topics at JapanesePod101.com! Setting aside the jokes for a few lessons, we turn to the serious subject of karōshi (death from overworking). Students are discussing the topic in their class and we’re going to listen in. This is quite a serious problem in Japan, but why? And is this problem unique to Japan? We’re introducing a lot of vocabulary in this episode, so we kept the grammar points simple: to wa, –o imi shimasu, which is used to give definitions in writing and formal situations; and nante, which means “things like” with a negative connotation. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
