Which expression is your favorite, when it comes to asking someone to do something?<\/p>\n

So, I have been super frustrated when things are not getting done, especially when it comes to kids’ homework. They just don’t seem to have an urgency to finish them when there is a deadline for each one of their homework.<\/p>\n

How would you say to others when you want them to get things done? Well, here are some nice and not so nice ways of telling them in Japanese. Just like we have some different ways of asking people to do in English, we do have quite a variety of ways to say in Japanese as well.<\/p>\n

For today’s lesson, I will just stick to one scenario,\u00a0asking someone to work on\u00a0a project. Which one is your favorite way of asking?<\/p>\n
