Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You haven’t been studying for your upcoming Japanese test, so while your friends are going out to dinner, you stay home and start cramming. After they eat, they call you to tell you that they’re going out to a Japanese bar for drinks. You try to decline, but they insist that you join them. They promise to help you practice your Japanese while you’re out. This sounds like a recipe for disaster!
In this lesson, you will learn how to use te kuru to indicate the beginning or the continuation of an action in Japanese. The conversation takes place between two high school students and also features a Japanese television newscaster. The speakers are friends, so they are speaking informal Japanese; the newscaster is speaking formal Japanese.

Learn to Speak Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! Today we continue our story about Wasabi-chan. All the wasabi in Izu is missing and our intrepid heroine sets out for a wasabi-batake (wasabi field) to see if she can spot the culprit. Our grammar point is the construction -te kuru, used in this case to show doing an action and then coming back (last week was -te iku). After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
