Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Traveling is always so confusing. Going places is fun, but it’s so easy to get lost. And with all the confusion, hustle, and bustle going on around you - it’s enough to drive one to distraction. You ask a clerk at the airport in Tokyo in Japanese, “Where can I find my gate?” However, as you make your way through the crowd, you’ve already forgotten the new Japanese words the Japanese clerk said about the gate. Did he say the clock “is” the gate in Japanese? Or did he say the clock is to the “left of the gate” in Japanese? Maybe he said it is to the “right of the gate” in Japanese. You’ve got to find the correct gate because you’ve already given the clerk your luggage; your luggage will get on board, but that’s no good if you’re not. Is there time to go back and ask directions again? Will the clerk think you’re a fool for asking directions after he told you already? What to do? What to do? Wait, there’s a sign for your gate. Whew! That’s a relief. You might just be able to do this traveling thing after all.

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! “Why are you telling me to “shush?” you ask your friend in Japanese? “I’m just observing what’s going on. Why do I have to be quiet? What’s going on here?” Your friend has been shushing you ever since you started counting the waiters in Japanese in the little ramen shop where you’ve come to eat. It just does not make much sense.
