Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! This week we return to take a look at Kinoshita’s little adventure in the electronics department store. Today the salesman is suggesting many items for him and trying very hard to close the deal. Will he make the sale this week or not? We’ll take a look at the very useful construction ~tara dō desu ka and its honorific cousin ~tara ikaga deshō ka for making suggestions. Even better than that will get into some other honorific phrases that will really blow away your Japanese friends. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
