Learn Japanese each day with the Daily Habit.

In this episode you'll learn three words:

Open | 開ける（あける） | akeru  
Close | 閉める（しめる） | shimeru (when a person is doing the closing such as “The employee will close the store.”)  
Close | 閉まる（しまる） | shimaru (when a person isn’t specifically involved, such as “The store will close at 8pm”)
