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!

Belton says:

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.) :oops:
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?

Michael D. Cassidy says:

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.

avatar
John Dyer says:

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.

Liz says:

Michael D. Cassidy-san
Ha! Don’t make me laugh because I know your age :razz:
Do you know mine?

Kawasaki-san,
It’s nice to have a nihon jin here! ようくそ

Daniel Beck says:

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. :roll:

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. :roll:

avatar
Jason says:

Basketball courts in Akihabara? Boy, talk about bad placement…

avatar
Daniel Beck says:

Yeah, well now even those are gone. There’s nowhere to play without paying. Which is why my exercise is mostly limited to cycling.

avatar
Vicky says:

Michael D. Cassidy-san, I was thinking about you!!! You read my mind. :wink:

PLEASE CHECK YOUR PM!!! :twisted:

avatar
Michael D. Cassidy says:

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.

avatar
Daniel Beck says:

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. :shock: Ugh. Can’t do that either (although I used to when I was single).

avatar
Vicky says:

Michael D. Cassidy-san, Ijust missed you. I send PM though….would you check one more time please???? :mrgreen:

How many more to go??? It’s gonna be a long night….. :shock:

avatar
Daniel Beck says:

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! :mrgreen:

avatar
Vicky says:

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. :cry: :cry: :cry:

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. :shock:

Need to take some break…brb!

Gambatte Kudasai! :wink:

avatar
Liz says:

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.

avatar
Greg says:

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!

Josh says:

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…

avatar
Daniel Beck says:

Vickyさん,

I have no idea what you are talking about. :roll: 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:

Liz says:

Josh-san,
You can run outside? :mrgreen: Isn’t it still rainy in Japan now? :shock:

avatar
Josh says:

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.

Prem says:

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

Nathan says:

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 :wink: Also thank you to all of those who wished me a happy birthday! :grin:

avatar
Daniel Beck says:

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. :shock: But the powers that be tell us it will rain for the rest of the month. :mad:

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. :mrgreen:

Mark says:

Am I late to the party? :sad: Omedetou gozaimas JP101 on hyaku beginner lesson! :D It’s been great listening to the podcasts, and I hope to listen to many more. Ganbatte JP101! :D

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!

avatar
John Dyer says:

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!

avatar
Mark says:

Johnさん - I know. ;) This is worldwide party - never stops! :D
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!

avatar
Daniel Beck says:

Yeah,

No more breaks for Our Vickyちゃん! :lol:

avatar
Vicky says:

Okay, all the waiting…here I am again. We gotta make 100 comments today!!! :evil: 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?

avatar
John Dyer says:

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.

avatar
Justin says:

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! :razz:

avatar
Nathan says:

Vicky-san,

I don’t think it would look very good if all of the comments were from the JP101 crew :wink:

avatar
Vicky says:

Hahaha, but still Nathan-san, it will help us to keep the goal. :lol:
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??? :wink:

Jppod!!! You are the best! :mrgreen:

Janis says:

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.

Even if I couldn’t listen to 100th podcast (I’m too much beginner…) I would like to join this party :mrgreen: - おめでとう! - and give my small contribution to the 100-goal… hope it’s not too late!

Daniel Beckさん, thank you for your warm words yesterday. Have a nice day - or evening? Mmh, I wonder when I’ll guess…. :smile:

Kawasakiさん, ようこそ! It’s great to hear that a Nihon-jin enjoys our beloved JPod, too!

And then I would like to say that you all bring sun to every day in my life… :grin: So, once more, ありがとうございます!

Thanks for all the fun and teaching… Definitely you made learning Japanese fun and easy.

Mina-san,
Thanks for being so helpful to each other. You guys made this community a supportive one!

John C. Briggs says:

おめでとう JapanesePOD101
This is great material. I have almost caught up with all the lessons. I have listened to all the beginner, most of the intermediate (these are hard and I have to listen multiple times), the survival phases, half way through the news, and then I will need to do the culture classes.
This has been the best learn-in-your-car series since Pimsleur. I was so bored of listening to word-lists in the car.
ありがとう

Wow! The Alpha-Male returneth! :cool: Good to see Kazunoriさん here!

Good to see you here too! I can hear your lovely voice in my head as I read your words. :lol:

You have a very cool name! :cool:

Peterちゃん!

Thanks for your patience in putting up with all my suggestions! :wink: Looking forward to coming down there and completing the mission I’ve been given. :twisted:

You rock! :cool: Yeah, where is Yoshiさん? :neutral:

Eran says:

Mina-san,

I was going to wait and post the 100th comment but I can’t hold out anymore :smile: Let me first thank our entire community for all the comments, support, and loyalty. Without you guys and gals none of this would ever be possible. Next, let me thank all my incredible and talented co-workers and friends at JapanesePod101.com. It is an absolute honor to work with a team so dedicated, passionate, and determined.

As a side note, for those interested, we’ve added Torrent files for Beginner Lessons 81-100 (including the informal tracks) in our Download Center.

Peace,

Daniel Beck says:

Oh, I forgot to mention Jonasさん!Thanks for helping us with our goal! :cool:

Nathanさん、

Calling on my students would definitely be cheating. We’d get about 200+ comments. :shock: I may have to call on them tomorrow though to help us get to 101. :lol:

Our Vickyちゃん、

無理じゃないよ! I told you to trust me. We’re almost there! C’mon everybody! Let’s がんばろうwith me! :wink:

I haven’t finished my coffee yet so I’ll never be able to write 13 posts alone.

Where is my love? I don’t get a thank you :cry: ? Or is this your cunning way of getting me to post another comment :wink:

How did you know? :twisted:

Michaelさん、

Our Vickyちゃん finally fell asleep methinks. :lol: NW though, she’ll be up soon.

Mark says:

Wow, so much progress from just a couple hours ago - I’m sure Vicky-san will be very happy when she wakes up! :D

And all the JP101 people on the board too - even Kazunori-san! Sugoi!!

And welcome to all the first-time posters out there… the party’s not over yet! Ikimasho! More posts!! :mrgreen:

Michael D. Cassidy says:

Kazunoriさん as the dean always reminded me of my drill sargent in the Army. I miss the Dean, the Dean should read us a Fairy Tale sometime, one of the scary ones.

avatar
Michael D. Cassidy says:

So are all you sitting around your computers waiting to post the 100TH??

Well if no one posts you’ll be sitting there a long long time!

I’d like to thank everyone at JP100 for the time and effort in making these lessons. Its an amazing effort; I hope enough of us are paying to so you guys can buy a beer at the end of the week on us.

avatar
Michael D. Cassidy says:

If we do not get to 100 it will be Vicky’s fault for going to sleep!

She and Liz are young and should have easily been able to stay up 36-48 hour without sleep. Can we set it up so that we get to 99 and let Vicky post the 100th??? Hard though do-able.

John Coltrane: The Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings [I was 16 so didn’t see it]. Its expensive, 4 CDs, but absolutely wonderful; overwhelming; beautiful; soaring.

The Omer Avital Group: Asking No Permission: very very good. I love it when I find someone new and young; I buy too many dead people.

Michaelさん、

Just how “young” do you think those two are? :lol:

Where, o where is Yoshiさん? :roll:

Michael D. Cassidy says:

Vicky is 16; Liz 13.
That should get a response out of them.

This is my last day at work; off on vacation for 15 days.
I wanted to do 3 weeks but my wife couldn’t take the last week off, someone at her company got fired and she needs to be back.

So in fact I will not be posting after today until about August 14th. I’ll have my iPod so I’ll listen toi lessons; I was falling behind anyway so this will give me a chance to consolidate and go after the informal and intermediate lessons.

If no one minds, could someone give me a short list to help me with the -te form? I can never remember when it is -te versus -tte.

Thanks in advance! :dogeza:

Jessi says:

MPさん>

For “ru” verbs (Class 2), the “ru” changes to “te”.

taberu ⇒ tabete
miru ⇒ mite
okiru ⇒ okite

For Class 1 verbs that end in “u”, “tsu”, and “ru”, they change to “tte”.

kau ⇒ katte
matsu ⇒ matte
wakaru ⇒ wakatte
etc…

I hope that helps you out!

MP says:

Domou arigatou gozaimashita, Jessi-san! That definitely helps. :grin:
