I found this site last year, and it has been a great help on both a linguistic and cultural level. In the Kanji Lite notes, under the five common examples of 出す, when I read the last one, "start to sin", I thought, "This is common?" Then I looked it up, and saw you meant "sing". An interesting typo... This three part series was great! I offer a very deep bow to your writing team. They come up with some truly memorable stories, which makes the learning process much easier and, of course, much more fun! いつもありがとうございます! Hello!

Good Point.

I was wondering if anyone could explain why the grammar explanation refers to koeru as 超える, but the two example compounds both use　越える. It seems that the meanings of the two kanji characters are similar, so I was wondering if the distinction matters or not. Did anyone else notice this? Hi, great lesson.

Whatever the rest of the question is, it does not mean " to be rough," as the correct answer, whatever this is, is false. Within the vocabulary quiz, #3 was missing the 出す from 出す -> suddenly ( so it was " -> suddenly.") All very engaging stuff. The people on the train probably think that I am going mad, as I'll abruptly smile or snicker for no apparent reason while listening to the podcasts. 亀井 Spot reports on the quizzes follow:

I would really like to know who wrote this one so that they can get proper credit. By the way Peterさん, everytime you pretend that you do not know some simple Japanese word, I believe you. You are either really good at acting or I am too gullible. じゃ　また ジョン Dear JapanesePOD101,

Infact, in my childhood instead of a teddy I had a penguin called Pingu..so..its not just a Japanese thing. I guess it can be used all around the world because all they say is 'meep' and other cute noises. Ah i miss my childhood.. nice idea having a consolidation episode though..I really like Japanese but I'm scared it will start taking over Spanish in my mind and I'll fail my GCSE Yes I’ve seen Pingu before too (here in the UK).

Unfortunately I had already figured it out by reading the comments before listening to the ending. Given the tendency for the subject to completely drop out of a conversation in Japanese when it is implicitly understood this type of conversation is pretty typical (although thepenguins speaking part is non-typical). If you come into a conversation half way through you can understand everything being said but still have no clue what they are talking about. If you want to keep with the animal theme maybe next time you could do a dialogue between some deer in Nara park. Deer1: "Look he has senbe!" Deer2: "Let's get him" Deer1: "Attack!" American tourist: "ahhhhhhhhhhhh Help!" Interesting story. Unfortunately I had already figured it out by reading the comments before listening to the ending.
