Intermediate Lesson #77 - Overweight Luggage 2

November 16th, 2007 | help

Need help?

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!
