I know how you feel Vicky. I’ve been sitting here checking every fift minute if there’s a new lesson. I nearly got worried there wouldn’t be any

はい、もう大丈夫（だいじょうぶ）です。失礼（しつれい）な奴（やつ）はともかく、PDFをダウンロードしたが、開（あ）けません。ファイルが壊(こわ）れているみたいです。 
Jonasさん、お助（たす）けてください。

Could we have an informal pdf w/ changes markeD
Justin, we have consolidated this into one PDF. You can see the Formal vs. Informal changes on the lesson page of the Lesson Notes PDF.

Once again, there are new words for me 
I had heard 「鈍い」(nibui) before as 「体が鈍い人」(karada ga nibui hito), and uncoordinated person. This is the first time I have run across 「頭が鈍い人」(atama ga nibui hito) to mean a “dull person”. And I don’t recall ever hearing the term 「鋭い」(surudoi, “keen-witted”). So is this used the same way as nibui, i.e. it can be proceeded by atama to mean “keen-witted” or by karada to mean “coordinated”?

Hey 皆さん！
I noticed that during the greetings, Yoshiさん refered to Natsuko as Natsukoさん、but both Peter and Natsuko leave off 「さん」 in their greetings. Hmm, what to make of this. Maybe Yoshiさん just has better manners. Must be a Nagasaki thing. 
Honestly, I think you all should use さん、くん、ちゃん、さま when greeting each other in a Japanese lesson. In the office, feel free to leave it off. But for people learning the language, they will probably benefit more from having them there. Just my ¥2.

Just wondered why we don’t have a kanji close up today? Good lesson anyway though!

「鈴木君は私がすでに退治した」
I love it, Takase-san! We love looking forward to a happy ending. This is just like the Night Berfore Christmas!
The JPodders were all tucked snug in their beds,
As visions of Schadenfreude raged in their heads.

Wow, I’m still slowly catching up on all the lessons but this one was great. There’s some pretty advanced stuff here for a ‘beginner lesson’.
