When you need to tell someone, where things are located, do you know how you would explain that in Japanese? You can let them know as simple as \u201cleft\u201d and \u201cright\u201d; however, the more specific you can be, the better so they will know exactly where to look for. In this article today, I would like to go over the basics first, then move onto more detailed explanation in my next article. So, if you are always wondering how to tell positioning in Japanese, read on!<\/p>\n
