Beginner Lesson #175 - B3: The Meet Up 2

Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! This week Kumi is still waiting for her (human) boyfriend, Taro. The friendly security guard tries to cheer her up, but maybe it’s too late. Our grammar point is bakari, used to mean “nothing but” or “only.” We’ll also cover a few adverbs of probability, very useful in spoken Japanese. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
