Description
Have you ever experienced any of the following while speaking Japanese?
★ You couldn’t express what you really meant.
★ You were misunderstood.
★ Your relationship became strained even though you had no bad intentions.
★ You accidentally caused trouble without meaning to.
… I certainly have many times…(^_^;)
First, I’d love to hear about your experiences.
In this lesson, we will share situations where communication didn’t go as planned and explore why misunderstandings happened.
Then, together we’ll think about:
「What could we have said instead?」
「What expressions would have worked better?」
We’ll also explore the uniquely Japanese ways of thinking and cultural perspectives behind those expressions.

Learning a language means learning the culture, values, and ways of thinking of the people who speak it.
If we communicate using only grammar and vocabulary without understanding the cultural background, unexpected misunderstandings can happen.
I would truly love to hear about your experiences. ♡
