In this episode, I explain how to ask your friends "True!" or  "Exactly!" in Japanese. Just one phrase. But you have to use a natural one. Check it out!

Takeshi's 2 minutes Japanese!

How do you say "True!" in Japanese?

I want you to notice what happens right before you speak English.

Not while you’re speaking.
Right before.

There’s a moment — sometimes half a second, sometimes longer —
where you stop.

In that moment, you’re not silent.
You’re busy.

You’re checking grammar.
You’re searching for vocabulary.
You’re arranging the sentence in your head.

That moment is not preparation.

It’s hesitation training.

Native speakers don’t do this.
Not because they’re smarter —
but because they don’t build sentences before speaking.

They start…
and finish while speaking.

[About This Episode]
What does a typical morning look like in Japan? In this episode, I share my personal morning routine—from the soothing habit of drinking Sayu (warm water) to the daily struggle of waking up my children.

I also compare my current life with my past experiences as an international flight attendant and my time living in the United States. You'll hear about the surprising differences between American and Japanese laundry habits!

[Key Vocabulary in This Episode]

Sayu (白湯): Plain hot water, often drunk for health benefits.

Nidone (二度寝): The act of going back to sleep after waking up once.

Drum-shiki sentakuki (ドラム式): Front-loading (drum-type) washing machine.
