Whilst you are in Nihon , you will want to ask lots of questions and doubtless you will be asked lots of questions. You will want to ask lots of open-ended questions like What , Where , When , Who , Why and How . We'll also be introducing some verbs, some of which you'll already have met.
Japanese verbs are far simpler than English verbs.
The verb doesn't change with the person and the present and future tenses are the same. The past tense is different, but we won't be covering that just yet. In Nihongo , it would simply be desu . You have met a Japanese girl who wants to help you learn Nihongo . You ask her questions in Nihongo and she replies with made up answers in Nihongo.
