I just got started downloading the podcast - it’s great, thank you! I noticed that in this lesson’s notes, the numbers weren’t listed - are they maybe written out in a later lesson?

Thanks!

avatar Nathan says:

Johannes-san,

Welcome to the community! :grin:

Yes, numbers are covered later. You can find up to 100 here:

Ganbatte!

wakarimasen :cry:

I downloaded this podcast to use this year, and I did not get what Natsuko-san said right at the end (something like: “Mata rai ne” maybe? Again next (year)?)

anyways, Akemashite Omedetou gozaimasu!

avatar PixieAlli says:

She said “Mata rainen” which is “See you next year” :)

avatar Anna Maria says:

hello, i tried to download de kanji close up (lesson #9), but the PDF file seems to be damage and it not possible to download it, could you please upload the file. Arigatou gozaimasu.

avatar Daniel L says:

Agreed. Kanji Closeup does not open for me either. I am using “Preview” on Mac OSX 10.4.10.

avatar Eran says:

Anna-san / Daniel-san,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. A corrected Kanji Close-Up PDF was uploaded to the server. Please let us know if are still having problems viewing the PDF.

Thank you,

Eran

Thanks,

Line-by-Line audio doesn’t work…again.

avatar SkyDiver says:

AND WHERE IS THE LESSON 10 SECTION??? Alot of new and informative words are covered there, so why has the whole section been forgotten? :evil:

avatar JapanesePod101.com says:

skydiverさん,

thanks for pointing this out!
there definitely is a page for Lesson 10 but the link appears to be broken. i’m not sure why it’s not working right now, but we’re going to get to the bottom of it. check back in a little bit so you can get the line by line and vocab. :cool:

as for the line by line for lesson 9, it worked for me. also, you should be able to check the line by line for lesson 10 if you click “next lesson” in the learning center. but like i said, something funky happened, so we’ll get that fixed asap!

marky

AND WHERE IS THE LESSON 10 SECTION

skydiverさん, thanks for pointing this out. This has now been fixed. You should now be able to access Beginner Lesson #10. Thanks!

avatar SkyDiver says:

Thanks alot! Really appreciate it :dogeza:

avatar ケビン says:

Great expressions;
ことよろ と あけおめ
I’ve heard these expressions before bc I’ve lived in Tokyo but I didn’t know what they mean until I heard this lesson!

ありがとうございます!

avatar mayutaka8985 says:

At the start of this lesson, just before they start counting down for New Year’s, the two speakers say something that sounds like “se no!”. I have heard this before many times and so can generally understand its meaning, however, I wonder: how do you translate this into English? Perhaps, something like “ready? (go!)”? Also, how would it normally be written in Japanese? Just Hiragana?

Sorry if these questions seem weird.
Thanks ^^

avatar palmist81 says:

I love your lessons!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you everybody…

avatar Mayumi says:

mayutaka8985-san,

It is written in Japanese as “せーの” which we usually use when we say something together or move something together.

palmist81-san,

Thank you for listening to and enjoying our lessons.
keep enjoying!
