But 貸してもらう means "can I receive the lending of something," which sounds strange in English, so naturally we'd ask "can i borrow?" :mrgreen: They’re not inferring too much.　　貸す means to lend.

I like that there is some English to help clear up translations and difficult points and I like that Peter is speaking Japanese again during the lessons. I think it is good to hear a non-native speaker as well. Good, good work! (P.S. Peter, I love how you translated Chigusa's tears into English! Genius! :smile: (Mom, Dad, why?... classic.))

I had a connection problem coming from my ISP's DNS server, and I couldn't see japanesepod during 2 weeks at home. I saw the great place japanesepod101 has taken in my life, and the progress I made in japanese since the beginning. I really missed you all. I want to thank publicly Eran-san for his friendly and effective help to find the solution of my problem. Hello,

Afterall, there are millions of kids in Japan who speak Japanese everyday, but you won't see much kids anywhere who solve Schrödinger equations everyday. :wink: Laura+Michaelさん、
