Hi, I’m ojachan 🙂 Today’s lesson is; How to Respond in Conversation

I was a cram school teacher in Japan. I taught Japanese from elementary to junior high school students. Don’t you want to know how to learn Japanese like Japanese kids? I’ll teach you how to start from beginner’s level Japanese.

Let’s get started!

Today’s lesson is; How to Respond in Conversation

I’ll teach you with “ていねい語 teinei-go Polite expression ” 🙂

Expressions

わたしは だいじょうぶ です。
watashi wa daijyobu desu.

本当に?

hontouni?
Really?

When you talk with someone, it is said that we have to respond to that within 2 seconds according to studies.

If you exceed the preset time, the person talking with you feels annoying or worrying.

So it’s very important to know these useful words if you want to have a nice conversation.
