learnjp: Japanese ExpressionsHey guys, I’ve been pretty busy these past couple weeks and unfortunately it’s not going to slow down any time soon! I’m starting my new TESOL course tomorrow which I’m very excited and nervous about. If you guys would like me to make a separate post about the TESOL course please let me know, as it might be something a few of you are interested in doing as well!Anyways, today we’re going to focus on some common Japanese expressions! Of course this isn’t going to be a master-post of all Japanese expressions, but just the ones that I’ve come across numerous times and think are important to know!Expressions:あOhh/Ahh!・ああ！Happy New Year・明けましておめでとうございます・あけましておめでとうUm…・あのう…Oh!
