Premium Lesson #13 - Taking a Photograph

March 1st, 2008 | help

Need help?

Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! In today’s lesson, two friends are visiting Meiji Shrine, one of Tokyo’s most popular sightseeing spots! They’ve come all this way, so they decide to take a photograph in front of the big torī (gate) at the entrance of the shrine grounds. We have three grammar points today. One is the extremely useful sekkaku, which is used to express going to a lot of effort to do something (very Japanese). The others are -te ageru and nanta tte, which are covered in detail in the PDF. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
