JAPANESE LANGUAGE and CULTURE Options…
I’ve been asked by a few guests to provide a bridge to some basic Japanese phrases, and also about “Japanese Manners.” In your “Welcome Bag” is a colorful “cheat sheet” that will get you started. If you have time to watch and LISTEN to the videos linked below, you will learn faster through hearing the phrases in situational settings—that’s how I have been improving my Japanese skills through YouTube. Everyone learns in different ways… each video producer has a different personality, pace, and process…so find your favorite “Nihongo Partner” and start learning!
