皆さん、

お待たせしました。
Intermediate Lessons are back for good. Sorry for the wait, but you can tell by today’s late publishing time that these take a bit of time to put together! Thank you for your understanding, and look forward to getting things back to normal!
よろしくお願いします。

Mina-san!
I just found out that you can go to the Kanji Corner Archives and get kanji for your Kanji Bank in the Learning Center from past lessons. This must explain how busy the team has been….they have gone back and updated the previous lessons. Thanks, guys!

Take-san~~~~

usagi-san, you have a great weekend, as well

Liz-san, yes, creating back content was a monster of a task that we’re still putting a few tweaks on, but we think it was worth it

Vicky-san, have a good weekend no matter what

JockZon, fear not! To the dismay of some, we only have one Intermediate lesson per week at this time. So you can look forward to some English tomorrow

Time to get my 10 minutes night’s sleep! Night all!

I just want to say, before the board fills up, that I can’t wait to listen to this lesson - it’s been so long since an intermediate lesson! Alas, now, I think I shall go to bed, but I will listen first thing in the morning - what a way to wake up!

Wow, houdai is great! I’m gonna start using it all the time!!

凄いレッソンありがとうね！

このレッスンが今まで最もいいだった。役に立って知っていなかった言葉や表現があった。そんなことがいつもいいことだよね！
レッスンは長くてもいいよ！長ければ長いほどいいって！！短いにしないでください！
教えてありがとう

Jake-san, thanks for the post! The writers got a kick out of it. Yes, this one was a project!

Robさん、hope you slept well and had a great morning.

Scottさん、I’m off to do some field research. Will keep you posted.

Brody-san, that’s the spirit! Great post!
遊び放題 is my favorite.

Hugo-san! How have you been? Glad you liked today’s lesson.

Andrewさん、気に入ってくれてありがとうございます。

Janis-san, great to hear that you’re ears are getting adjusted! Great news. Keep tuning in and keep posting!

監獄が楽しいって？じゃ、皆様。日本に行って、逮捕されていただきましょう！

いや。よく考えて見れば、私はやっぱり遠慮しときます。

One question about “rokudenashi”…

Peter says that it is related to “riku” meaning land and then says that “riku de nashi” means someone that is up and down and unpredictable….but the saying is “roku de nashi” not “riku de nashi”

How did the “riku” become “roku”?????

The go-on 呉音 reading of “riku” is “roku”.

oli-san,

I think if you had met middle age or older women, they would have talked to you in Japanese!
