Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Today we bring you information about the first party of the New Year in Japan, known as shinnenkai. Much like the bounenkai, or year-end party, the shinnenkai is a chance to get together with friends, family, co-workers, etc. and have a good time - but there’s a little more behind it! In line with firsts, we are introducing a new voice once again in today’s culture class - Megumi-san! After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com for a delicious PDF, and be sure to leave a post!
