We’ve been missing an opening theme for the past 5 lessons, but that all changed today! Our latest hero, Kazushi Takada, cut a new opening intro for us, using Sakura’s vocals. We’ll be using this one for a while, so we take the time to break it down for you and explain the Japanese as this will be daily practice for you. So be sure to iTune in!

there’s a problem with the pdf lesson notes on this entry. could you check it out?
Also just wanted to say I’m enjoying these lessons very much and I appreciate the attention to detail, to the point of breaking the phrases down by the sublest syllable. It’s so much easier to learn that the Chinese podcast (while informative, it’s often difficult to understand the intonations and proper enunciation).
Thank you for making this information available!

I am really enjoying your podcasts. I spent almost a month in Japan in 2003 and plan to return for 3-4 weeks in the fall of 2007. I appreciate the pdf notes - they really help and I have printed them out to read as I listen. However I can’t find the notes for Dec 28th: on clicking on the link I get the message “page not found”. Could you find the time to repost those notes? Thank you and keep up the good work - you all seem like family now!

Mambo-san and Paul-san, apologies. The PDF should be alright now. Please let us know if you are still experiencing trouble.

When Sakura says Japanesepod101, I can’t understand what she is saying for the “0″. She says ichi ___
ichi. It sounds like “mau” but I can’t find it in my dictionary. Thanks, Sal

What Sarkura-san is actually saying here is “ichi maru ichi” - if you’ve ever seen a Japanese phone number, like from a business card, they use a kanji meaning “circle” for the zeros, and that kanji is pronounced “maru”.

I love the lessons so far. Very good interaction and I love how the syllables are broken down. It makes it easier to try and incorporate how to use Kana or Hiragana to see the sounds.
