Japanese 7: Potential & Volitional Form

This course introduces you to Potential Form and Volitional Form, which you typically learn in your second year (vol. 2 in many textbooks) of Japanese learning. We use the Potential Form to say what you can or cannot do, as in "I can" or "I am able to." 

We use the Volitional Form to say "Let's," "Shall we?" or "Shall I do it for you?" in Informal Speech.
