Makoto #82

Makoto Magazine Series #82: The Fun Japanese Not Found in Textbooks For Beginners to Lower Intermediates: Boost Your Japanese Journey Today! Welcome to the December issue of Makoto! This month, we've packed in a delightful mix of learning and laughter to carry you through the winter season. This issue also includes a beginner-friendly essay on the subtle differences between ??(??)???? and ??(???)???, two expressions that often puzzle Japanese learners. These phrases may sound similar, but each captures a unique nuance. For example, ??(??)? refers to physical or emotional sensations – that refreshed, cozy feeling when you settle into a hot bath. ??(???) , on the other hand, describes your overall mood or mental state, like when you say, "Today, I feel great!" to express a positive vibe. Simply put, ??(??)? focuses on tangible feelings, while ??(???) reflects the broader mood. Understanding these subtle differences can make your Japanese sound more natural, and we're sure you'll find it easier than it seems. Dive in and enjoy this month's exploration of Japanese language and culture, tailored to warm up your winter!
