Have you seen Shikoku’s most famous shrine? Today we’ll climb 1386 steps to the top of Kampirasan and get a phone call from a famous J-Pop idol. Ohhh, what to do next?

We’ll learn the difference between polite and casual Japanese and the appropriate politeness levels in Japan. We’ll also introduce two Group 3 verbs (Class 3 verbs). We’ll also learn more Japanese dictionary forms (plain forms).
