Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! Now for the exciting conclusion of our K-1 Grand Prix match! In the first the commentators were doing a little pre-game discussion about the impending fight to the end. Today the bell will ring and the fighters will go at it! Who will win? Well, of course, you WILL! With grammar like the passive voice (ukemi) how can you not win? Of particular interest is the idiomatic use of the passive voice to express an undesirable or unfortunate turn of events. You don’t want to miss this one, folks. And, of course, after listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!

Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Once a year, Japanese schools take a break from the humdrum for the annual undōkai, or sports day. The kids don hachimaki, Japanese headbands, and then it’s time to rumble! In today’s conversation a little girl’s team wins the day, but expresses some sadness when talking about it with her sister. Our grammar point is no ni, which is used to express disatisfaction with an unintended outcome. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and leave us a post!
