Ever been lost at a baseball game? Could you find your way back in Japanese? We recommend seeking out a cute cheerleader and asking for help! In today’s episode we’ll help a maigo (lost child) find his mother.

This week’s grammar point will cover some common humble expressions in Japanese. We’ll introduce oru, the humble form of iru and itasu, the humble form of suru. Understanding when and how to use humble language is critical to mastering Japanese and this lesson is the best place to start learning kenjogo (humble forms).

Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! Last week Mr. Yamada just barely made it in time to check in for his flight to Vancouver. Today he is arriving with his extremely heavy luggage. It seems he was trying to save money by packing something unusual in his suitcase. Our grammar point is the sentence final particle kai and the polite auxiliary verb oru. Also we’ll cover a few popular words borrowed from the Osaka Dialect. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
