hmmmm… in the pdf you have o-te aria wa? written, but in the podcast it sounds like o-te arai wa. I’m guessing the pdf is wrong, but thought I’d check to see if there was some exception I was missing.
Thanks.

Beth-san, your right! 0-te arai wa? is correct. We’ll change it ASAP. Thanks!

You still have not corrected the spelling on o-te arai. It’s confusing, especially when reading the accompanying kana.

Just a note, 駅弁 (えきべん) is not only a bento sold in a train station.
It is also a sexual position.
So you have to be careful how you use this word.

Besides possibly the first Survival Phrases this is the most useful episode of the survival phrases series. I used Kore wa and Sore wa etc. all the time on my two week trip to Japan.
