A proposito di questo titolo
Welcome to Episode 4 of Real Japanese Talk with Haruka & Saki! 🗼🐙
In this episode, Saki shares another funny mishap from her foreign intern coworker:
he sent "I'm coming! 今から会社に来ます！" on LINE
— a direct translation from English that left everyone confused!
Haruka breaks down one of the biggest hidden differences between English and Japanese:
while English picks verbs based on the listener's location,
Japanese uses YOUR current location as the reference point.
Master this one concept and your "iku" vs "kuru" will finally sound natural
— plus you'll learn two essential business verbs along the way.
【Today's Vocabulary / 今日の言葉】・向かう (むかう) - to head toward・戻る (もどる) - to return / go back・迎えに行く (むかえにいく) - to go pick someone up
