Learn Japanese: An Intro to John-Sensei Jul 16, 2018

Self-introductions. The first thing we ever really learn in Japanese, that it becomes something wrote and kinda corny sounding if we are not careful. Which is why John-Sensei takes this opportunity to say his in English and prepare your for tomorrow where we help you sound a lot more natural when introducing yourself in Japanese.

Learn Japanese: Zara wo enai ざるを得ない Jul 14, 2018

Show notes

ざるを得ない (zaru wo enai) expresses that even though something is undesirable you have no choice but to do it. ざるを得ない is more of a written or formal style and isn’t commonly used in informal speech. It usually correlates with the English “no choice but to”, “nothing to do but”, “can’t help but ”, and “have to”. The more common informal form is しかない.
[verb BI ざるを得ない]

Learn Japanese: Ni Chigainai に違いない Jul 12, 2018

Show notes

に違いない (ni chigainai) is a phrase that is derived from the verb 違う (chigau), “to be different” or “to vary.” 違いない is a negative form of 違う that means the opposite, to be “sure,” “unmistaken,” or “certain.” に違いない at the end of the sentence conveys the feeling of the English “certainly,” “definitely,” and “surely.

Learn Japanese: Yaru やる Jul 11, 2018

Show notes

[verb] やる (yaru) can be considered another way to say する. The main difference is やる is used exclusively for physical action . Another difference is that する can take the word directly in front of it without the を (like 勉強する), but やる always needs the を. やる can pop up in English as just plain old “do”, but also as “play” or even “send”.
One of the other ways やる is used is similar to [ageru] and [kureru] to give. やる is used when someone gives something to someone or allows someone to do something who is below them in social status or rank. Similar to the English “to give” or “to allow”.
