Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! As you dream merrily of kittens and puppies in rainbows in your comfortable Japanese bed, suddenly you hear screaming in Japanese. Certainly the kittens aren’t that angry…or at least, they aren’t speaking in Japanese if they are! Rousing from slumber, you open one eye cautiously to make sure a ferocious Japanese animal isn’t about to pounce on you. It turns out that it’s your roommate, who is having a fit and yelling at you in Japanese. He exclaims in Japanese, “Do you know what time it is?” You respond in Japanese, “No, but I could use ten more minutes of sleep. Thanks.” Your roommate responds in Japanese, “Our flight leaves in an hour…we are going to be late!” You bound out of bed at once and in one fell swoop throw on your clothes and run your hands through your hair. Your roommate pleads in Japanese, “Please just tell me you already packed your suitcase.” You smile and say, “Of course not!”

Welcome to our new Beginner Series! Can you introduce yourself in Japanese? Today we’ll look at 2 ways to introduce yourself to a group of people. Both are perfect for polite situations. We’ll look at some humble verbs, used in Japanese to lower the speakers status in relation to the listener. This is called Kenjogo in Japanese and it’s critical to know how to use it to really master Japanese. Today we’ll learn the humble forms for “to speak” and “to do.”
