Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Have you ever taken part in setsubun, the Japanese traditions surrounding the seasonal transition from winter to spring? You haven’t? Well, what a treat for you! But depending on your age, you better bring your appetite, because certain Japanese rituals base the amount you have to eat on how old you are. And you better finish eating, or else! (You’ll find out what will happen in this Japanese lesson!) In this lesson, you will learn how to say “I’ve done something” in Japanese from a conversation set at home between a student and his host mother and brother. When he speaks with his mother, he uses formal Japanese, but when he speaks with his brother, he uses informal Japanese. You’ll also learn about the Japanese customs surrounding setsubun.
