Upgrade to notes on your ipod. For the past three lessons, key vocab is included in the lesson description section of your ipod. To access this feature - once the podcast has started click the center, white button twice. Today we introduced a new format. The number of the vocab, time in the lesson that it can be found!
! The word in all three forms and the meaning! Example below: 1. (1:07) Kakkou ii・かっこういい・格好いい - Literally translated – nice appearance. Meaning – cool (used for clothes, cars, motor cycles, etc.) good-looking, (You’ll hear a chorus of them when Brad Pitt comes to town.) Should be interpreted as follows: first key vocab, said at 1:07 of the podcast, all three forms and the meaning! Enjoy. To access this feature - once the podcast has started click the center, white button twice. Thank you again Alex!

Konnichi wa!
I have one question. What if you don’t know what the price would be? What would you say to ask for the price?
Monday at 10:15 am
Monica san> Usually there is a price written on a door, the price per km. But, if you know where you are going, you could ask the driver, “~ ( your destination) made ikura desu ka?” = How much does it cost to get so and so. so for example, if I want to go to Shibuya, I’d say “Shibuya made ikura desu ka?”

Oh okay, Doumo Arigatou Hiroko-san! ^-^

Hola , les ecribo para contarles que hay alguien de habla hispana siguiendo sus clases, por lo que se agradece su buena pronunciación en inglés, ya que se me hace un poco difícil escuchar inglés, entenderlo y además aprender japonés…

Konichiwa!
Just a quick note on tipping and taxis - there is no tipping required and if you try, they usually won’t accept it.
Great lesson again. Really enjoying these.
mata ne,

It would be helpful if you had a list of lessons that was clickable, so we didn’t have to page through 1,2,3, the 4, then 5, then 6….
