We’re going back to fundamentals, and what’s more fundamental in Japanese grammar than the te-form? 

This is without a doubt one of the most important conjugations in Japanese grammar. Without the te-form, you won’t be able to really grasp some of the other Japanese grammar.

It’s kind of like a level up token – as soon as you master this, you go from speaking short simple sentences to flawlessly and fluidly expressing your thoughts in clauses.

So what exactly does the te-form do? There are five ways — this episode covers them all!

This episode of Study Saturday covers everything you need to know about giving and asking for permission with “it’s okay to”. 

In both statement and question form, this grammar language can save you a few minutes of language barrier and miscommunication. 

Sure, a “daijoubu” can cover most situations, as discussed in our Season 1 Episode 1, but aren’t we all here to up our Nihongo game?

Goodbye winter, hello spring! As we speak, the beautiful pale pink flowers we all know and love are taking over the landscape of Japan!

Since a lot of us aren’t able to visit The Land of the Rising Sun this spring due to the pandemic, podcast host Azra is bringing Japanese spring to you! 

They’re no ordinary flora — they have quite the background in terms of significance and symbolism in Japanese culture. Sakura is a thing of the past, present and future of Japan. 

From being the symbol of life to a celebration that brings people together, cherry blossoms are here to stay and to continue dominating the spring season.

We cover some of the basics in this Study Saturday: directions!

Podcast host Azra feels like, no matter what stage we’re at in our learning journey, directions are something best to constantly revise.

Let’s all agree that this is a key essential in your Japanese language travelling kit. Who knows, there are some directional expressions you don’t really know how to make full use of!

In this episode, we won’t be virtually travelling to any particular city in Japan but rather focusing on the means of going from one to the other. 

Transportation in Japan, particularly the train system, has been complimented time and time again to be one of the world’s most efficient. 

Podcast host Azra said, “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited by the thought of a bullet train zipping me from one end of the nation to the other before I first came to Japan.”

We’ll have a brief look at a few categories: JR System, shinkansen and private railway companies.
