Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Did you ever think of meeting your neighbors before you signed the lease? Kind of an interview in disguise. You know, just walking over and introducing yourself. In Japan, this custom takes place after you have already moved in. In this lesson, we’re going to learn how to introduce yourself to the neighbors and carry out the customs we’ve discussed in the previous lessons.

The focus of this lesson is the grammar point totemo –nai, which is used in a negative construction clause to strengthen the negative meaning. It is equivalent to “not — possibly.”
