Learn to speak Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! With the last two lessons, you’ve learned to speak Japanese in the passive voice. This final lesson of the three part series puts the finishing touches on your excellent new abilities! Quite often, passive Japanese sentences are formed from active sentences. For example, “Kenji stole Daichi’s bag” becomes “Daichi had his bag stolen by Kenjo.” It’s critical that you understand how to take an active sentence and turn it into the passive voice. The good news is, it’s easy to do!

That’s exactly what you’ll learn in this lower intermediate Japanese lesson. Discover how o –suru becomes o–sareru when you speak in the passive voice. And, you’ll find so many helpful examples that you’re sure to feel completely comfortable speaking Japanese in the passive voice thanks to this JapanesePod101.com lesson!
