#217 本音と建前 | What We Really Think v.s What We Say in Japan

Season 1 · Episode 217

Friday, September 18, 2026 • Duration 20:14

#217 日本語はとても丁寧で礼儀正しいイメージがあるかもしれませんが、実は日本語の会話の中で、たくさんの「本音」と「建前」が混じっています。日本語を学ぶには、この感覚を掴むにはかなり難しいかもしれませんが、逆に言うと理解できたら、ますますネイティブの日本語が話せます！今回はこの難しい感覚について話します。

You might think of Japanese as a very polite and courteous language, but in reality, Japanese conversation is a mix of “true feelings that what we really think” and “what we really say.” It can be quite difficult to grasp this nuance when learning Japanese, but on the flip side, once you understand it, you will be able to speak Japanese even more like a native speaker! In this episode, we will talk about this tricky nuance.
