Now it’s time to learn the daily clothes.
Thus, you will know how to name in japanese everything you have in your wardrobe. Katakanized English words abound in this course so hang in there. It must be said that the majority of everyday clothes worn by the Japanese today have been imported with Western culture, which explains the considerable borrowings from the English language.

That will be all for the clothes. I haven’t talked about winter clothes for example, or traditional Japanese clothes, but I will try to include a few names of clothes, here and there in other future courses, in order to complete what we have just seen.
This course is now over. Thank you for taking the time to read it. Take this opportunity to revise your hiragana and your katakana, learn to draw the few kanji that we have seen so far and I wish you good luck with your homework.
