November 27th, 2007 | help

Need help?

Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! Today we continue our story with our young couple begging for permission to marry. Last week things didn’t go so well for them. Hopefully they’ll have better luck this time! We’re continuing our look at the causative and we’ll also cover using -nakereba nai or -nakereba ikenai to express necessity. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
