Welcome to Informal Speech! In this course, you'll finally learn how to conjugate plain forms to use Informal Speech. We use Informal Speech with someone close to us, such as friends in the same age group or family members. This course teaches you how to switch between Formal and Informal speech according to the situation.
This course introduces you to Potential Form and Volitional Form, which you typically learn in the second year of your Japanese learning (Vol. 2 in many textbooks). 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.
