Makoto E-Zine series #82 Recommended for beginner to intermediate learners of Japanese. You can purchase the printed version on Amazon by clicking here.   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 気持(きも)ちがいい and 気分(きぶん)がいい, two expressions that often puzzle Japanese learners. These phrases may sound similar, but each captures a unique nuance. For example, 気持(きも)ち refers to physical or emotional sensations – that refreshed, cozy feeling when you settle into a hot bath. 気分(きぶん) , 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, 気持(きも)ち focuses on tangible feelings, while 気分(きぶん) 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! ➡️ How to read the eBooks: You may need to follow the steps outlined in our eBook guide. ➡️ To purchase a digital or print version, kindly click the "Format" option below the product title.

Makoto E-Zine series #81 Recommended for beginner to intermediate learners of Japanese. You can purchase the printed version on Amazon by clicking here.   For Beginners to Lower Intermediates: Boost Your Japanese Journey Today!Ah, November! The air is crisp, the days are growing shorter, and the leaves are putting on their most dazzling show of the year. Just look at that cover! Isn’t it stunning? Those vivid reds and golden yellows are a celebration of Japan's famous 紅葉 — the autumn leaves that transform the landscape into a fiery canvas. If you look up 紅葉 you'll find two readings: こうよう and もみじ. Now, you might be wondering, why? Well, 紅葉(こうよう) generally refers to the vibrant autumn leaves in a broader sense, while 紅葉(もみじ) specifically highlights the beauty of the Japanese maple tree, with its delicately shaped leaves and brilliant red hue. Both readings, however, capture the spirit of fall in Japan—the season of changing colors, warm nostalgia, and leisurely strolls through nature.People travel far and wide to enjoy 紅葉狩(もみじが)り (autumn-leaf viewing) which literally means "hunting autumn leaves." It’s not so much a hunt as it is a chance to admire the beauty of nature, similar to 花見(はなみ) (cherry blossom viewing) and 月見(つきみ) (moon viewing). So, as you read through this month's Makoto, take a moment to soak in that feeling of 紅葉 — whether you picture the iconic もみじ maple leaves or just that full-blown autumn こうよう explosion of colors. Let's dive into this season together! ➡️ How to read the eBooks: You may need to follow the steps outlined in our eBook guide. ➡️ To purchase a digital or print version, kindly click the "Format" option below the product title.

No one else really knows for sure, but in today’s issue, we explore a few intriguing origin stories. Hint: it has something to do with Princess Kaguya! The beginner reader, titled “Mandarin Orange,” is a fun story about how easy it is to mess up Japanese. It’s a great example of how trying to be polite can sometimes come off as shockingly rude. The cover says, 暑(あつ)くなってきましたね, which means, “It’s becoming hot, don’t you think?” This phrase combines the adverbial form of  暑(あつ)い (hot) and なってきました which indicates a process that has been happening and has now reached the present. "なって" (becoming) + "きました" (has come to be) implies that the temperature has been rising and it is now noticeably hot.
