Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You’ve enjoyed a nice break from studying over the holidays. However, today, whether or not you are ready, you have to go back to your Japanese school. The alarm blares and you rub the sleep out of your eyes, dreading the long day of Japanese classes after a few weeks off. You wonder whether your teacher will give you a pop quiz to welcome you back!

In this lesson, you will learn how to form embedded questions. Specifically, we’ll show you how to form embedded questions that involve the Japanese expression meaning “whether or not” and questions using “wh-” words. The conversation in this Japanese lesson takes place between classmates and a teacher, so they use both informal and formal Japanese as they converse at school. Visit us at JapanesePod101.com, where you will find many more fantastic Japanese lessons and learning resources! Leave us a message while you are there!
