Lessons done differently!

That's right... It's lesson time! But this time I don't want to just have a Japanese language lesson... Which is what I usually do... But this time I want to teach something else!

So here is a video from +tomoko tomoko that will help you if you are visiting a Japanese household!

The awesome part about this video is that not only do you learn a bit of culture but there are bits of Japanese language being taught to you throughout the video!

I'll make a list of some of them here for you... Some will be single words and others will be phrases... I'm not writing everything down for you though... There will be some things you need to watch the video to learn how to write and read and if you want to know the proper way to say these things you deffinitly have to watch the video because I don't think I'm good enough to try to say them for you!

Japanese List!

ありがとう。ようこちゃん、いきまーす!

Arigatou. Youko chan, ikimaasu!
