Do you know that there are different Verb forms in Japanese, and they affect how you sound as a grownup? Let's learn the most appropriate form in this course.
How to Conjugate Verbs

The course explains each particle's function and helps you create sentences that make sense!

Learn how to ask the questions "Do you...?" or "Did you...?" and answer those questions appropriately.
You will also learn how to address someone without offending them unintentionally.
