When JapanesePod started, there was Beginner, Survival Phrases, Culture Classes, and Intermediate. Beginner was for absolute beginner. As time went on and things made it to the second year, beginner had progressed to a point where an absolute beginner couldn't just hop on board. So Newbie was created to fill the gap and be like a Beginner v2, and Beginner Season 2 got started as a refresher for people who'd done all of the Beginner episodes up to that point. The whole thing is kind of always evolving, so I wouldn't expect a grand master plan where everything fits together all nice and clean like a set of language workbooks.

I've gone through the entire 'Newbie' section and I was expecting the 'Beginner' section to be more advanced than 'Newbie,' but I find that this lesson is completely trivial in comparison. Am I wrong in assuming that the level of difficulty goes 'Newbie,' 'Beginner, ' 'Beginner 22, 'Intermediate,' and 'Advanced?' I’m confused.
