EP:75 There Is? Have?｜Arimasu & Imasu

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!
