Hi! I'm Sayaka from NihongoDekita. I'm Japanese, born and raised in Japan. My goal for this channel is to teach you REAL Japanese that goes beyond textbooks in a FUN and EASY way! I love teaching Japanese and also sharing cultures with you all, people around the world!
I knew some of that and was able to follow a little of what was being said without the subtitles. I needed that boost to my confidence, felt like I was hitting a wall with the language.
amazing that there are so few trash cans yet you dont see any trash in the streets near the curb in Japan. They either take it with them or find a receptacle for it. Littering just isnt a thing. Japan is a very clean place.
The first time I ate Shabushabu was back a month ago when me an my friend visited kyoto and wanted to eat something. We walked through some tiny streets when we saw a big sign with a noodle dish on it which looked really delicious. We decided to check it out and went inside. We quickly realized that the restaurant we were in was not a typical ramen or udon restaurant but a duck specialized restaurant. We didn't think much about it and ordered a 7 course shabushabu meal which included 7 courses of duck specialties as well as the shabushabu. For the shaushabu they brought us a big pot of water where we put in the vegetables. After some time we put in the duck meat. It was really delicious.
yasumi naku hataraku is work without a break. Sensei Risa says this for example for a farmer. So i immediately recognized Naku Naru being one of the same such as "become without" as in the context of the toilet paper.
A common mistake for beginners in this type of sentence is to forget to use the passive form. The passive form is used a lot more in Japanese than in English
どうぞよろしく can be part of a greeting but it's not "Nice to meet you." The reason is because it can be used multiple times with the same person while はじめまして is supposed to be used once. In English, you wouldn't use "Nice to meet meet you" to someone more than once either. :) どうぞよろしく is more like "I look forward to our friendship/Thank you in advance/Please treat me well." Hope that helps!
