Bob1 says:

楽しか!This was a fun lesson. Although I visited a professor at Kyushu University once, I wasn’t there long enough to understand any dialect. Now I wish I could visit again!

Bob1 says:

By the way Peter: “pugnant”. . . Is that Long Island-ben for a smell that will assault you? Both pungent and pugnacious? :mrgreen: ちょっと気になりました。 :oops:

TRITON says:

Hello Japanesepodcast team !

really amazed . it is the first time i can hear a lesson about nagasaki ben !!
it is a really good idea to show listeners differences between standart japanese (of Tokyo) and local differences !

You can make other lessons in the future with other dialects from other parts of Japan. very interesting !

Best regards

hello everyone, konnichiwa minnasan!

I tried to post before on another article but for some reason it didnt get posted, so here goes again:

just wanted to say what a great job peter and everyone in there is doing. My name is Esteban, Im 20 years old and Im from Costa Rica (yes.. very far away :P ), Ill go buy “Daita” for those that find my name difficult to pronounce. Currently an Arquitecture Student.

anyways, Ive been studying japanese for around 6 years.. have had ther opportunity to visit japan before, it was so fun. Also assisted a japanese highschool and then I finished my japanese studies at university, its all good, I learned alot, but it has allways been difficult for me to keep up with the japanese since Its hard for me to find a practice partner. first off I have to say that japanese pod101 has taught me sooo much, you guys have no idea, even after 6 years olf study there are alot that I have learned from this podcast, I love the use of informal speech because thats something I wasnt really taught well.. anyways. you guys are doing an amazing job, and japanese language aside, its allways so fun to listen to you guys, all the jokes and everything creates such a relaxed atmosphere, I love it.

so thats all, keep it up guys, Ill try to be more active around here, looks like a wonderfull communty.

Is Takase really from 九大? That wasn’t just acting right?

Is it alright to ask which major she was in? (And perhaps in which year she graduated?) :wink:

piculum says:

Well, liked this one.
Although you could take even more dialects - like saying the very same sentence in some most common dialects - so that one could listen and compare.
That could be even more fun IMO. :)

avatar
Alain says:

Very interesting, indeed! :smile:
Fine idea!
Some lessons on kansaiben would be fine.
I think piculum’s suggestion is good also.

avatar
Daniel Beck says:

Woohoo!!! :grin: 素晴らしか! :lol:

I knew if I bugged you guys enough, we’d get a Nagasaki-ben lesson! :cool:

More please! Let’s make it a once a week!

Again, Takaseさん puts Peter in his place. :wink: Don’t mess with those 九州 women! They’ll take your wallet!

Liz says:

I would love to learn a few phrases in Nagoya ben!! Then, when I visit my friends in Nagoya next year, I can blow their minds! :lol:

Here’s a link to something on the web, but I don’t think there’s any audio:

JockZon says:

Wow. This lesson was really lovely. I’ve would like a part 2 though and maybe some examples on other dialects. Thank you for this.

avatar
Peter says:

Liz-san, Nagoyaben…hmmm….let’s see if we can’t track down someone from Nagoya! That would be great!! :grin:

Daniel-san, yes, your most recent post was the one that did it. :wink: Nice job. Yes, today everyone was using とっとっと. :wink: And, yes, Takase has me in my place. :wink:

Alian-san, Kansaiben…tough one…if we don’t have a pro in here, then we’d be risking a lot!! A whole lot more than a wave of angry emails, so we still in the process of looking for a pro. Maybe we’ll make an annoucement, yeah, that just may work. We’ll keep you posted.

Piculum-san! Great to hear from you! Yes, we’re currently looking for home grown talent to do the shows. You need the pros, or you’re asking for trouble. :wink:

Bakaneko, as far as I know, 九大 Takase. She’ll be in tomorrow, and she’ll get back to you. :grin: Yoroshiku onegai shimasu.

Daita-san, thanks for the great post! Wow, Costa Rica! Can’t wait to visit your fine country. My brother has been there a number of times, and he loves it there. It is great to hear that you’re getting a lot out of the lessons; posts like yours make our day! :grin: We have a lot more planned so keep tuning in, and definately participate as much as possible! We’re looking forward to hearing much more from you! Yoroshiku onegai shimasu. :grin:

TRINTON-san, thanks for the post! Yes, this lesson was sooo much fun, and we’re going to try to do a lot more like this one. I think we’ll start searching for people tomorrow. :grin:

Bob-san, you got it. :wink: The good old silent “n” and e -> a. Happens all the time. :grin:

Usagi-san, (Mr. Rabbit :mrgreen: ) yes, today was really fun too! We’ll have some more grammar for you this week. :wink:

Jake-san, glad you liked this one! We had so much fun with it. I really want to go to Kyushu now, as Takase and Yoshi have really peaked my interest!!

Jason-san, nice job! That goes for the forum too! You run a tight ship! We’re very impressed over here. :grin:

Peter says:

JockZon-san, must have just missed you. Yes, after seeing how well this lesson went, I think this is something we’ll try and get more of! :grin: Glad you liked it!

avatar
Liz says:

Peter-san,
I know someone from Nagoya who lives in Tokyo (nihon jin). She is a translator and speaks fluent English. I don’t know if she would be interested. Will give you more info if you wish!

avatar
Takase says:

I’m so glad to know that everyone enjoyed our Nagasaki-ben show :grin: みなさんほんとにありがとうございます!

Daniel-san
Yoshi and I wanted to say thank you for all your support and it meant so much for us that you liked our lesson!

Bakaneko-san,
I majored in English literature and graduated in 2001. I like your name bakaneko..

bakaneko says:

ピーターさん,
こちらこそ、宜しくお願いします。

Takase-san,
Cool! You most likely would know more English than I do even though I was raised in an English speaking country.

Hugo says:

Takase-san rules! :cool: :mrgreen:

Amazing as always, I agree whith Triton-san: “it is a really good idea to show listeners differences between standart japanese (of Tokyo) and local differences !”

Know the local variations and differences in the japanese lenguaje, can be very useful, one can understand the small details of the local culture, for example! :razz:

Jun says:

Peter-san, Takase-san and Yoshi-san

Jun desu, Yoroshiko onegai shimasu.

Interesting lesson! benkyo ni narimashita. Question: I heard “abayo” used in conversation before, What dialect is this?
Domo…

avatar
Jason says:

I don’t think “abayo” is really a dialect word, per se. It’s more of a general slang term, I think.

avatar
Jason says:

Or in other words, I don’t think it’s particular to a certain dialect.

avatar
Daniel Beck says:

Yes Takaseさん!

Of course I loved that lesson! It was great! :cool: I’m looking forward to more!

-Daniel B

Jun says:

Jason-san,
What is so special with this “abayo”? Natsuko-san mentioned that it’s prison slang? When do we use this instead of “sayonara” or this has different meaning?
Thank you for the enlightenment..

PETO says:

U guys really make me HUNGRY…

I love Hakata Remen, too. In LA, there’s a place called Shin Sengumi (3-4 locations around LA and Orange County). This place makes the best hakata remen (and fried rice). It also has yakitori side and it is such a fun place 2 go if you don’t mind waiting. It’s so CROWDED that sometimes I waited for 2 hours just to get in. People workin’ there always yell when you walk in, place orders, pay, leave. LOVE IT!

That’s all for today.. U all take care.

Jun.
“Abayo” means something like “good riddance”. It’s goodbye with a negative connotation.
“Sayonara” is more neutral.
“Saraba” is positive, but I think it’s rarely used nowadays.

hitori2k6 says:

I really liked this show alot. I was especially interested in the discussion
of the various dialects, Aomori-ben and Kansai-ben. Of course, I also
liked the topic of Hakata Ramen. Made me really hungry for ramen!
But I wanted to raise a point about the pdf Lesson Notes. It seems
like the info on page 4 does NOT match that podcast. Especially
the text listed in the “Translation” section.

Also, I really wish Japanesepod101 would publish photos of the
team. Especially Takase!! :smile:
