Fredさん,
コメントをありがとうございます！
LowerとUpper Intermediateのレッスンもありますのでぜひ聴いてみてください。 (Even though it’s called Lower Intermediate, you’ll find some of the lessons there more advanced than this one, especially in the later seasons). Enjoy

それでも、楽しかったです。次のレッスンを楽しみにします。

It’s curious because the PDF uses が…which is what I thought it would be with 大好き. A bit confusing

Anyway I was really excited when I realised, I just press the download button and load it in my MP4 player, you where going to remove the English and keep it at minimum. Really really excited.

I’ve also listened further so I’m not at the next lesson but a little further and you where saying, again, how excited you become after reading comments and posts. I thought to help you out and make clear that at least one person understands how you people feel

When people achieve success the brain makes some sort of chemical, which I’ll call the success chemical for the lack of a better term, this chemical gives a great feeling. Really good, much like adrenaline, just different. Note that this chemical is also the most likely reason why people become addicted to video games (I just call them games but to make sure no misunderstandings arise.)

This is also my first post and will probably be one of the few I do for some time since I’m still very far behind so I’d like to cover more episodes that really helped me or just added something special.

So I go to the V-Day Japanese Culture Class episode. Actually I write fanfics, read manga and watch anime. And I prefer to write about one manga/anime called Love Hina. But, as you might know, I’m not alone. A fellow writer and one who I call a friend consulted me last year around V-day, he had written a fanfic about his favorite, and mine, character of Love Hina. Trouble was, it was about half past eleven PM and he couldn’t upload it nor finish it. And he asked me, so I managed to write an ending for him, though I failed to upload it. But there was one thing I bumped against. The main character got HONMEI CHOKO from one of the other characters. I was really stunned. What the..? That’s an awful misspelling. Though I decided to leave it as that, you taught me that it’s exactly what it should have been. Arigatou Japanesepod 101.

Now I really want to thank you too for the counting lessons, I was a bit stuck o n it but you (all), once again, pulled me through.

As a side note, I am not studying Japanese at a school, all my knowledge comes from either you or anime. Mostly anime, but you always seem to handle the subject, phrases and stuff I learned but need clearification about or how to spell it. When or when not to use it. And of course, tons of new stuff. And every day.

Yes, every day. I always go to my school with the train so when I’m on the train and I’m not seeing any friends I listen to your podcasts and it’s atleast half an hour of traveling. If I’m lucky I can keep listening in the bus which adds another 15 minutes, lately I’ve even been listening when cycling home. Normally I just listen to fast music but more and more times I just leave your podcasts on and keep cycling slowly to catch as much as I can. Even before mowing the lawn, we have a lot of fruit trees so the fruit needs to be picked, half an hour atleast. Then the grass needs to be submitted to our machine, just put the MP4 player to the max and I keep on listening. Another one and a half to two hours.

Much and much more I want to say, but I’m afraid that the comment can’t hold much more characters, so I’ll leave it at this. Except for: I’d like to know if Oranda, おらんだ (Or is it オランダ?) really is Holland/The Netherlands (I prefer the latter as Holland is quite simular to a province).

P.S. Did you guys ever had a Dutch listener before?
