Japanese Particles Explained (Without the Boring Stuff): Ni, De, He & More | Nihongo to English EP. 25

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2542830/fan_mail/new] In Episode 25 of Nihongo to English, hosts Michael Allen (CPA) and Michelle MaliZaki dive into one of the most essential — and most confusing — parts of Japanese grammar: particles. They break down を、で、に、and へ in the most un-boring way possible, with real examples, laughs, and zero judgment. Along the way, they recap Michelle's wildly successful Stationery Park festival (85 tables! Vendors from New York and Japan! Someone left their Cartier rings behind!), debate the life choices of hikikomori, set a brand new Daruma goal, and somehow end up discussing what it means to gaman when there's pee running down your leg. Just another episode of bilingual chaos — and somehow you learn. Have a question or comment?
