In this episode, we’ll learn the difference between あります (arimasu) and います (imasu).

These words are often translated as “there is / there are,” but in real Japanese they can also mean have, exist, or simply describe a situation.

You’ll learn:

  • arimasu vs imasu
  • People vs things
  • Useful travel phrases
  • Why Japanese doesn’t change for singular and plural

After listening to this episode, go back and listen to the previous Japanese Only Challenge episode—you’ll understand much more!

🎧 Practice episode coming next!
