Episode 68 - いただき

Re-orient yourself in receiver-oriented expressions of thanks! If that sounds complicated, it's not, I promise. Essentially, I show you how to replace your くださって with an いただき and take a look at some interesting language trends that I hope actual linguists are looking into. I've also got a beer recommendation and a way for you to get rid of stuff for free in Japan. See more on the newsletter and the blog. Feel free to reach out with any questions or 悩み事 to [email protected]. You can also follow How to Japanese on the newsletter, Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
