Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! For Honda-san and Suzuki-san, business is life! In today’s lesson, there is a lot of talk about a golf taikai, or tournament, but business is top priority! Or is it? In today’s grammar point, we talk about using the no particle with desu, or n desu. Be sure to tune in, and then stop by JapanesePod101.com and leave a comment!

Mina-san,
Today’s locations is 国際宇宙ステーション・Kokusai uchū stēshon - the Internation Space Station! Hello to all of our listeners up there!
Yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
Congradulation on 100!!
I haven’t listened to the first lesson but I have been going back through about Lesson 20 on to see what I remember and review.
In the midst of the party celebrations here today, (hopefully setting a new high for comments)
I had an idea. I don’t know if it’ll take off but let’s give it a try.
The Japanese conversation threads in the forums are a bit daunting I think. (Well they are for me.) ![]()
So I was thinking for each beginner leson how about just ONE sentence from each of us as an example of what was in the lesson? Use a new vocabulary in some way or make up a sentence using the grammar point. Take what you’ve learnt for a spin but still keep your training wheels or L - plate.
I’ve started a thread here. And if people think it’s a good idea would start a new one for each lesson?

Jasonさん、
Yeah, I know the feeling.
Just kidding Our Vickyちゃん rocks!
Yeah yeah yeah….it’s for jppod!!!
Okay 70 more to go!!!
Mina-san~~~
So I have a question sort of topic related: does anyone here play or has played golf?
I keep putting it off because I’m too young.
wow Vicky, seems you’re very loved here.
And Golf is an ehhh sport for me. But it was still a very useful lesson
Also, welcome to the site Kawasaki.
Michael D. Cassidy-san
Ha! Don’t make me laugh because I know your age ![]()
Do you know mine?
Kawasaki-san,
It’s nice to have a nihon jin here! ようくそ
どぞよろしく
Michaelさん、
I AM old enough to play golf, but not rich enough to play it in Japan. Plus, I decided years ago only to engage in sports that don’t cost money each time you do it.
Hard to find any free sports in Japan. There used to be basketball courts in Akihabara, but they cleared it out to make a parking structure.
Basketball courts in Akihabara? Boy, talk about bad placement…
Yeah, well now even those are gone. There’s nowhere to play without paying. Which is why my exercise is mostly limited to cycling.
Michael D. Cassidy-san, I was thinking about you!!! You read my mind.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR PM!!!
Cost and time. That’s why I run; though I do lift weights at a gym which costs money; cheaper than golf, clubs, lesson, tee time etc. Also I’m not sure there are enough endorphines in golf for me.
Liz I heard from from the Jpod101 rumor mill that you were 11; so I’m forbidden to talk to you.
Michaelさん、
While the gym costs money, I think it costs less for a month than for a single round of golf, no? Here in Japan though, a month at a fitness center will run you near $100.
Ugh. Can’t do that either (although I used to when I was single).
Michael D. Cassidy-san, Ijust missed you. I send PM though….would you check one more time please????
How many more to go??? It’s gonna be a long night…..
Our Vickyちゃん、
It’s only 8:40 in the AM in Japan. There’s plenty of time left. Only 59 to go!
ahh….Hi John-san, Daniel B-san is bugging me for 2 hours that I need to say something about your comment. Although I told him that I talked to you earlier. He is killing me with posting 100 comments today. Ah…don’t know why I started this today.
Hope more people can leave some comments after this. I got no energy to drive home and skip my lunch for these comment mission.
We all love Jppod. And, keep up with good work. Yeah 200 lessons will be great but I won’t go for 200 comments though.
Need to take some break…brb!
Gambatte Kudasai!
Daniel Beck-san,
Is there a break down of countries of JPOD listeners that you know of? I’d be interested to know that. I guess there are a number of foreigners in Japan who need to learn the language.
Happy 100th! Thanks for all your help with the beginner Japanese lessons, they have helped me out tremendously. I could not have gotten where I am today without your support. Thanks again, and good luck for the future!
-Greg
Doing my part for the 100 goal….
Congrats on #100! Although maybe we should be popping the champagne for 101 (as in the podcast name)?
I agree, gyms are waaaayyy too expensive here in Japan. So I’ve started running. I’m up to a little over 4K every morning. Today was 5K. Maybe it’s time to try a marathon…
Vickyさん,
I have no idea what you are talking about.
You better take a break.
Lizさん、
Don’t know about the breakdown. But, if people go over to my site and sign the guest book, maybe we can an idea.
みなさん、
If you wanna sign my guestbook, write JP101 next to your name. Don’t forget to zoom in and find your nearest city:

Josh-san,
You can run outside?
Isn’t it still rainy in Japan now?
Liz-
Not so bad in the mornings. Actually, the heavy rains seemed to have taken a break for a bit. Ah, but the mold is never ending… it gets onto everything about now.
Hiii there,
Me and my wife swapna congratulate you all for the 100th episode of Beginners leson. We are following your podcast since day one and its really a great fun to be with all of you and learn a japanese language with you.
Hearty congratulations to all of you once again.
Prem & Swapna
Daniel-san,
I’ve noticed some basketball courts a few times somewhere between Shinjuku and Harajuku right beside the Yamanote line. I’m pretty sure they are free to play on. There seem to be a couple homeless camps interspersed between them. I’ve been meaning to go take a look, but I don’t make it over to that area much.
Mina-san,
Thank you for all of the comments and congratulations! 200 is right around the corner
Also thank you to all of those who wished me a happy birthday!
Premさん、
You have an interesting name. Where are you from? And your wife’s name is also interesting.
Lizさん、
There’s a break in the rain today. Even saw the sun. Had forgotten what it looked like.
But the powers that be tell us it will rain for the rest of the month.
Nathanさん、
Yeah, I think I’ve seen some of those courts before. They didn’t exactly look promising. Plus, it would be more than a little out of my way. When I lived in Irvine (California), I could 100 meters (I mean, yards) in any direction and hit a basketball court, a beach volleyball court, a swimming pool, and a tennis court. Ah, those were the days.
Well, only 48 to go.
Am I late to the party?
Omedetou gozaimas JP101 on hyaku beginner lesson!
It’s been great listening to the podcasts, and I hope to listen to many more. Ganbatte JP101!
Quite the turnout - still have several hours to go, so plenty of time to get to 100 posts
kawasakiさん - welcome to the community! I’m sure you will enjoy your stay here. Posting on the message board and forum will be great way to practice your English!
Danielさん - sorry to hear about the continued rain.
Hopefully the forecasters are a little off on their prediction.
I hope everyone had a great day! 47 posts to go!
Mark - How could anyone be late to the party?
And nice to finally have a chat with you.
Prem - Hey and welcome! I love that so many people on this site are all benefiting from the same resource. I think it would be real interesting to see how many users from different countries there are subscribed, visiting the site, etc.
Daniel - How long has it been raining and where are you located? I don’t get a ton of rain here, so I enjoy it when I get it.
おめでとうございます!
Johnさん - I know.
This is worldwide party - never stops! ![]()
I imagine JP101 has statistics on the subscriber base at least, but I’m sure that’s not for public review.
Vickyさん - where are you? The party hasn’t ended yet - we still have 45 posts to go! No more break for you.
I hope for no rain tomorrow - want to play sports outside!
Okay, all the waiting…here I am again. We gotta make 100 comments today!!!
We can do this right??? Hope I can sleep tonight.
Hi Nathan-san, surprised you stop by. You could bring some crew from over there though, eh? We can’t do this alone.
Btw, I noticed that lots of Japanese people play golf and tennis. These are the favorite sports to play in Japan?
Mark - Yeh, I’m sure they have subscriber information. They may not want to post numbers online, but I’m sure they could break it into percentage of listeners by country. That would be cool!
I guess Frappr is similar to that, but I doubt most listeners post their names on there.
Vicky - I thought that baseball was quite popular there. At least, a few of my friends living over there go to quite a few minor league games.
Congratulations on 100 beginner lessons (and 200 podcasts!!)!!
Wow, it’s been pretty fast, huh?
58th or so comment. quite a few to go before 100, eh? Good luck, everyone!
Vicky-san,
I don’t think it would look very good if all of the comments were from the JP101 crew
Hahaha, but still Nathan-san, it will help us to keep the goal. ![]()
I think I’m done recruiting today.
I went to mixi to sign up, it was quite abit of work eh?
They created new community for jppod people. Pretty nice. We helped each other to sign up there if you guys help some trouble like me. It was fun though.
Liz-san asked me this morning….Okay I signed up for mixi, and what’s next?
Hope we can chat in Japanese oneday???
Jppod!!! You are the best!
Hooray for 100 beginner lessons! I am too busy this summer for much studying but still listen to the podcast every day. You are doing excellent work.
Nathanさん、
What do you mean “all of the comments”? We’ve been doing the heavy lifting. If each person in the office chips in one each, we’ll be on our way! よろしくお願いします!
がんばれJP101!
