Learn Japanese: Usso! (Slang) Jun 29, 2018

Show notes

No f***ing way?! Dude? For real?! Because people want to know how to say some very important and often colorful things, I bring you a little more informal lesson. Usso means lie, but when used in spoken Japanese, it carries a lot more meaning.

Learn Japanese: Formality and Hierarchy Jun 29, 2018

Show notes

Learning Japanese can be confusing. Particularly when it comes to hierarchy and the levels of formality. I often have questions about how this exactly works. Sometimes people get confused and think this is something divisive and fracturing, when it couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Learn Japanese: Maji まじ Jun 28, 2018

Show notes

Today’s episode is dedicated to something kinda fun. I won’t spoil it, just give it a listen. It is freaking fun and cool.

Learn Japanese: Nanishiro 何しろ Jun 26, 2018

Show notes

何しろ (nani shiro) is used when someone feels very strongly about some unusual or extreme situation. It is different from 本当に because 本当に simply means “really”, without any connotation of something extreme. 何しろ is close to the English expression “believe it or not”, “think what you may”, and “in fact”. Note that this expression is mainly spoken.

Learn Japanese: Ikanimo いかにも Jun 26, 2018

Show notes

いかにも (Ikanimo), similar to 本当に (hontou ni), is used when you want to express that you really believe what you say. Difference between the two is merely the level of formality… meaning that it is a slightly more polite way to say 本当に. It usually comes in a pair with a statement of conjecture. Meaning that something really seems a certain way, or you really feel a certain way about something.

Learn Japanese: Honto(ni) 本当に Jun 23, 2018

Show notes

This is REALLY REALLY important. That is HontoNi is really, like literally really. Really?! Really.
