Mina-san, Today’s location is ダカール・Dakār. Hello to all of our listeners in Dakar, Senegal! Yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
Wednesday at 10:07 pm
Hmm… “almost helpful”. As in, “not helpful”, but close to being helpful? I guess I’ll have to find out in the morning.
Wednesday at 10:20 pm
Good day
I had a bit of spare time so I made a wallpaper for Jpod101 (1024*768px). Check it out

As always, when you catch up with this lesson, try a sentence –>

Any chance of an example of Pitfall 2 in the pdf? intransitiveVte + ageru (bad)
Wednesday at 10:58 pm
Just a little corection to do:
ゆっくり instead of ゆくり
Wednesday at 11:01 pm
Oups! I meaned coRRection!
Wednesday at 11:07 pm
Hmm, I looked around and found those two on different sites but yukkuri is definite? Then I have to change it
Wednesday at 11:13 pm
っ small tsu strikes again っ
It is yukkuri, I missed that myself
Wednesday at 11:14 pm
Update: Change it
Wednesday at 11:22 pm
JockZon-san,
Beautiful design!
(Utsukushii desainu?)
Thursday at 12:53 am
Nice, JockZon-san, but the kanji for mou ichido should be 一度、 not 一同
(いちど not いちどう).

JockZonさん、
You rock!
Thursday at 6:10 am
I think Dakarians also speak alot of spanish and portuguese as well. I like Senegalese music, and can pick up alot of what they say with my broken spanish.

Anyone heard from Our Vickyちゃん?
I’m a little worried with all the flooding there, and she isn’t hounding us for votes today and not available in the usual places.
Thursday at 9:48 am
Jockzonさん, nice work!
Danielさん,
Last time I talked to her was yesterday evening. But I see activity on mixi, so I think she’s okay.

JockZonさん おめでとう! Very good design!

Thursday at 6:13 pm
私もちょっと心配です。I mean if Vickyちゃん is at home because she told me she was trapped, then she would have surfed the internet from home but, maybe there is a power cut. Oh well.
It was really a good idea to teach us how to say when you give someone something
Thursday at 7:17 pm
Wow, Our Vickyちゃん went a whole day without saying “Vote kudasai…blah blah blah…”
Has she been taken over by the Borg…uh, I mean, Mixi?
Thursday at 7:23 pm
JockZon-san, thanks for the thinking of us and for the great wallpaper!
Apologies for the late reply, but we’re working on a big surprise.
We know you guys like surprises.
Thursday at 8:15 pm
Well I am really in a mood for a surprise
Thursday at 8:19 pm
HI GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I missed you so much!!!!! I’m so sorry I haven’t replied in a while ;___; !!! I was in the hospital for a very long time… I had an accident at school and it took a few months to recover… But I’m all better now =) !!!!
I’m trying to catch up with all the episodes, it’ll be intensive listening but I love listening to your shows so it won’t be a problem ^___^ !!!
See you!!!!!!!

Thursday at 9:21 pm
Gevorg-san,
Welcome back! Sorry to hear about your accident. だいじょうぶですか?
Peter-san,
I’m 99 and 7/8% sure of it! I just listened to the news from Saturday and I heard you mention Belton-san!
Hi! I know what the surprise is!
Thursday at 9:54 pm
WHAT I missed my moment of net fame!!
I should listen to more than just the Beginner Lessons so.
Oh the embarrassment
Gevorg-san お帰りなさい (and はじめまして)
Thursday at 10:34 pm
Liz-san… stop letting the cat out of the bag!
Ah, Belton-san… you need to listen to the news at least! That was your 15 minutes!
Thursday at 10:47 pm
ちがいます I timed it, I’m due another 14:25 at least
I can’t wait to find out what it is!?!
Thursday at 11:09 pm
Sorry, I’m such a blabber-mouth!
I was just so excited about the surprise.
Friday at 3:05 am
On today’s episode Yamamori-san said, “30 pun go ni tsukimasu”. My question is: What does “go” mean here? I thought this meant 35?
Friday at 4:32 am
Hi Lizさん、
“Go” in this case is not “five” but “later/after”.
(30分後 ) not (30分5)
Thursday at 5:12 am
I stayed in the Shinagawa Prince Hotel and walked around the area! Very fancy hotel! It’s definitely a cool place to hang out and very close to the subway/trains.
