Beginning Japanese: "Glasses-Wearing Person" and Other Japanese Constructions

Try New Japanese Quizzes Every Day—Free for Everyone!

Here's a free beginner Japanese quiz from the expert teachers at Nihongo-Pro. New quizzes are available every day at several skill levels. Take the Nihongo-Pro quiz challenge every day, from your PC, Mac, smartphone, iPad, iPod, or tablet, and learn Japanese online for free!

Can you make real conversation in Japanese? Here's a fun, free quiz to try your hand at it!

In this quiz, you choose the correct verb clause that modifies the noun. In Japanese, modifiers always come before the noun, so, instead of saying "the person who is wearing glasses," you say, "the glasses-wearing person." Or, instead of "the red house that sits on the hill," the equivalent Japanese is "hill-on-sits red house".

If it feels backwards, don't worry—you'll get used to this Japanese word order as you study Japanese. Try this quiz and see how quickly and accurately you can choose the grammatically correct verb clause.

To learn Japanese online, live, nothing beats one-on-one sessions with an expert Japanese teacher. At Nihongo-Pro, our qualified teachers are located around the world, so you are sure to find a Japanese teacher perfect for your schedule, your Japanese level, and your learning goals.

Plus, even though our tuition is lower than most online Japanese schools, we reward our teachers with higher pay compared to other schools. If you want your tuition dollars going to your hard-working teacher, rather than administrative overhead, Nihongo-Pro is your best value in online Japanese lessons.

We hope to see you in an online lesson soon. In the meantime, don't forget to visit Nihongo-Pro every day, take a free Japanese quiz, and watch your Japanese ability soar!
