As to cities, have you said hello to El Paso, Texas, the home of our Vicky?

Vicky says:

Wow Liz-san, thank you so much!!! They mentioned Seoul, Korea. That was enough for me. It’s hard to come back after 4 days passed. Got lots of thing to catch up this morning.

皆さん! Have a great day or evening everybody!

Daniel Beck says:

Vickyちゃん、

ちょっと…  :mad:

What am I supposed to do, wake up at 1 in the morning? :roll:

Re: Mixi. Um, I don’t know why you all want to encourage people to go the Mixi. That’ll just take them away from here, no? :neutral:

Back in a tick. Need some coffee & to listen to the lesson.

Oh, and Nathanさん、 you have been warned. Better listen to our Vickyさん!  :twisted:

Daniel Beck says:

Yoshiさん、

Do you have many opportunities to wear a mask & sunglasses? :twisted: Do you wear a black hat with that too? :lol:

Of course, if you were as fast as Takaseさん、 you wouldn’t need a disguise. They’d never catch you! :mrgreen:

Shakespeare Takahashi is skating on thin ice with this audience if he wants to emulate W.C. Fields (of whom it was said “Anyone who hates children and dogs can’t be all bad”). On the other hand, the number of Japanese who are actually frightened by dogs is astounding. I’ve even seen parents who admonish their children, 「犬はかむよ」(”Dogs bite, you know”) in the presence of even the most harmless tail-wagging puppies.

Hello again!

Not trying to blur any comment about today’s lesson, but I have something to say. Something sad…

I’m moving to another house tomorrow, and there I will not have neither ASDL connection nor dial-up connection :cry:
I’ll only be able to download the lesson through my friend in the weekend…. So I will not be able to catch-up the comments here. Well.. what should I do?

Well, I hope the best for all of you and you can be sure that I will not give up to study Japanese. Ganbarimashou!

Yoshi says:

Hi Minasan,

Yoshi-desu! I put a message yesterday about Mixi and got some people in for FREE! :twisted: (Well, it’s free anyway!) But if you missed it and still wants to join the Mixi, you can e-mail me at

yoshihiro721@yahoo.com

Daniel B-san,

Peter makes me wear all that in the studio all the time… well enough of that topic (I don’t want Peter-san to get mad…then he’ll make me wear even more stuff in that hot studio :cry: ) And you don’t have to get as fast as Takase-san, but if you can be as scary as Takase-san, no one would say anything about what you do :roll:

Yoshi-san!
Thank you for your post!! :grin: I’m a big fan of yours!! :grin: Thanks so much for teaching us Japanese!!
I want to see your picture! :smile: (without a white mask and dark glasses, though) Please??

avatar
Vicky says:

Oh no Claudenir-san. What we can do to help you? I want you to keep write the comments here. You can’t use from your friends house? If you go to school, there is internet at school as well no??? Or internet cafe??? Library???
I don’t know…..

Ah….what we can do??? Text message me???? Then I do post for you?? I don’t know…. :cry:

Guys, any a better idea to help her????

avatar
Vicky says:

yeah Yoshi-san, Liz-san is a big fan of you. She’s always talking about you. Yoshi-san….yoshi-san…blah blah blah….

And, she’ve been asking every where to see your picture.
Would take one and send to her please~~~~ :mrgreen:

Thanks for emailing me!!!

avatar
Yoshi says:

Hello Liz-san :grin:

Thank you for the comment! I didn’t know I had such a wonderful listener and a fan! Peter-san must have kept it quiet so I would just focus on recording. :wink:

I’m sure you’ll see my picture sometime soon! I’m just afraid that it’ll turn you down because I just look like a short Japanese version of Brad Pitt (well I wish :oops: ) but I really look like a Japanese clown :mrgreen: (and if you were lucky you might see me not only without the mask and sunglasses, but also … oops, (have you been a good girl this year?… :twisted: ) oh, I forgot this was a public message board. Sorry everyone! Anyways, Thanks for all your support! I’ll talk to you soon.

Jpodlove,
Yoshi

Liz-san,

Yoshi-san is mine, so hands off! :wink:

いや。その物はいらん。そして、俺の飼い犬に近づくな。 :razz:

I didn’t know I had such a wonderful listener and a fan!

はい!よしさんは結構人気者なんですよ。まだ「よしさんバンザイ!ファンクラブ」が作られていないのはかなり驚きます。きっと時間の問題です。

Claudenir-san, I’m sorry to hear about your internet problems. :( I hope you can get it straightened out soon.

avatar
Liz says:

Yoshi-san,
Your sense of humor is the best thing about you! :grin: You just proved it with that post! :lol: THANKS!

avatar
Daniel Beck says:

Uh, Lizさん、

Down girl. Aren’t you married? :razz:

Yoshiさん、

You’re pretty brave to talk about Takaseさん that way. Better watch out! :twisted:

Vickyちゃん、

You wrote: Yoshi-san….yoshi-san…blah blah blah….

Ha ha ha. :lol:

みんなさん、

You are still invited to come to my blog and post on my JPOD review!!! :grin: Especially you, Takaseさん!!!  :grin:

-Daniel B

avatar
Liz says:

Daniel-B-san,
Yes, I am married! :roll: It doesn’t mean I’m dead, though.:???: I assure you, my interest in Yoshi is purely platonic, even motherly!

Jason-san,
You are testing the patience of us Beginners, but it’s probably a good learning experience for us. :roll: After pasting the text into WWWJDIC I got the idea it was something about a fan club? That it was only a matter of time until a fan club was started? Am I close?

avatar
Daniel Beck says:

Yoshiさん,

I better warn you. Lizさん seems to be some kind of otaku wife, like those who chase Yongさま! :lol: Well, at least those sunglasses will come in handy!

Nathanさん、

Again with too much information. :neutral: Oh, and please take care of your mission, or I will have to carry out my orders from Vickyさん regarding you. :twisted:

-Daniel B

avatar
Liz says:

Daniel B-san,
I’m here to learn. What does “otaku wife” mean?

avatar
Michael D. Cassidy says:

Motherly???? boy I have a come back for that remark but I’d be banned from further posts.

avatar
Daniel Beck says:

Lizさん、

Otaku has a few meaning, but in this case, it kinda like “fan”, but bordering on obsesive. In Japan, the last few years, there is a Korean actor that Japanese housewives just LOVE. He’s known as Yongさま。When he comes here, housewives flock around him like teens used to do for the Beatles.

You know, of course, that I’m teasing you! :wink:

-Daniel B

avatar
Liz says:

Daniel B.-san,
Yes, I know you are teasing me! :grin:
Thanks for the explanation…I am a little bit of an “otaku”, then! :mrgreen:

Jason says:

That’s my job. :razz:

After pasting the text into WWWJDIC I got the idea it was something about a fan club? That it was only a matter of time until a fan club was started? Am I close?

Yep. The “Yoshi-san BANZAI! Fanclub.”

Jon says:

Hi all,
Anyone can help with a question about the grammar question…

1:「犯人はどんな格好をしていますか。」
2:「黒い帽子を A 、サングラスを B 。」

the answer to B is かけています. It’s fine considering the question is asked in present progressive form. But shouldn’t it be past progressive form (していました/かけていました), as I assume No2 is describing the criminal that she saw? Or Japanese tense in this case is different?

Thanks!

avatar
Mayumi says:

Jon-san,

This situation would be people talking watching some pictures or movie. But, I think it’s a bit strange situation. :roll:
If No2 is describing the criminal that she saw, she would say “黒い帽子をかぶって、サングラスをかけていました/していました” as you say. :wink:

Teskal says:

The transcript, the Lesson-Notes-PDF, the entire Lesson-Audio and the informal audiotrack are about the same theme, but not the dialog-mp3 file

The MP3-File is like a sequel for the previous lesson, but I’m not completely sure.

I’m wondering that nobody was missing the correct audio file.

Nori says:

Teskal-san,

It has been fixed!

Teskal says:

Yo, thanks

フィリペ says:

I can’t download the bonus track! There’s a message saying: “The information you requested could not be retrieved. File not found.” May you guys please fix it? ありがとうございます!

はい、もしもし、今上野公園に来ています。何処ですか。今そちらへ向かっています。どんな格好していますか、白い帽子をかぶっていて、赤いシャツを着ていて、犬を連れています。
犬、え、犬は好きでしょう。実は、あまり、ちょっと、家の子をみてよ、気が変わりますよ、超可愛いのよ。
そうですね。楽しみにしています。じゃ、後五分で。

Mina san,
I am trying to add my wordbank to flashcards all at once…not really working. Any suggestions?

Motoko says:

Ana-san,
I’ve succeeded to add vocabularies to my wordbank.
Could you just try it again, and tell me how it goes?
I went to “vocabulary list with audio,” “select all” and “add to my word bank”
I hope this works.
