Mina-san, Today’s location is 火星・かせい・Kasei - hello to all of our listeners on Mars!
Yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
Thursday at 11:11 pm
一番!
Thursday at 11:14 pm
Yoshi-san, still awake??
Ohayou Mina-san, have a wonderful day~~~
Thursday at 11:33 pm
First the moon, now Mars. I think maybe ヨシさん is user JapanesePod101 this week!
Thursday at 11:50 pm
As a suggestion, to be politically correct, the International Space Station should have been before the moon and mars.
Thursday at 11:53 pm
Am I the first???
Sorry, I mustn’t have been paying enough attention to the potential lessons…
‘Iu’ is ’speak, right? So ‘Ieru’ is ‘to be able to speak’. Thus, we get ‘ienai’ for ‘ can’t speak’.
It’s right there in the pdf, I just want to get it straight in my head.
Thursday at 11:57 pm
Belton-san, you know us so well.
Ro-san, we already covered that one.
Max-san, you got it.
Friday at 12:01 am
Ops! Gomen. It is now obvious I need to re-listen previous lessons. At least, two rovers are still rolling and being potential “listeners” on mars.
Friday at 1:47 am
Right.
Friday at 5:27 am
こんいちは!
Is it just me or are beginner lessons becoming intermediate?
People, could you help me out again? I’m trying to catch up with previous lessons.
“datta” is the same of “desu ita”, right?
The adjective for noisy is “urusai”, then why is it used like “urusaku”?:???:
どうも!
Friday at 5:30 am
Joao-san
datta is the informal past affirmative of desu.
urusaku is the adverb form of urusai. It modifies the following verb.
Friday at 8:57 am
I’m not clear what “nante” is. Is it just “nani?” What is the difference between “nani” and “nante?”
Thanks.
Friday at 9:17 am
In this lesson, it’s short for 何と. The quote marking と gets changed to て a lot in informal speech.
Friday at 11:17 am
Alan-san
ありがとうございます
Friday at 12:38 pm
Ah, ic… Thanks, Jason-san. Textbooks only have formal-speech grammar. Wish there is a book on informal speeches, like this 何て/何と thing.
Friday at 2:20 pm
Help!
I want to type ‘tsuzuku’, (to continue). but the second syllable is a ‘tsu’ with two dots. Whenever I type ‘tsuzu’ I get a ’su’ with two dots. How can I get the right Kanji??
Friday at 2:24 pm
Max, if you type “du” then you will get a づ!
Friday at 2:26 pm
こんにちは。日本pod101の先生のことの写真がありますか。
先生の顔を見たいんです。
Hey, are there any photos of the teachers? I want to ’see’ who’s speaking.
ありがとう。
Friday at 7:38 pm
Check out the “Blog” section, and if you click on a link in the post about “Mac User Group”, you might even find some videos!
Friday at 7:39 pm
Ah, and of course: Yoshiさん and Chigusaさん are featured in the iLove series.
Saturday at 2:33 am
Hello Mina-san

Saturday at 9:05 am
Sindy, my comment was intended for new listeners who haven’t seen the videos yet. With so many new listeners showing up these days, there must be someone who hasn’t come that far yet…
Saturday at 9:19 pm

The story is とても おもしろい!
This lesson are a great help, as always thanks a lot for the hard work! 
JPOD101 rules!

Thursday at 12:42 am
talking about beginner lessons becoming intermediate, a transcription of the bonus audio track would have helped
あまりわかりません
Monday at 10:26 am
So perhaps the
って 言う か may be better explained as something more like
“you don’t say?” or ” the deuce you say?”
Eh? Comments? Advice?
Also, the 口 に する seems to fit something like flapping one’s gums or something along those lines. I’m sure there’s many ways to skin the idomatic cat. I suppose I am searching for equivalently idiomatic phrases…
Enjoying this material immensely.

どうだった?ばっちりだったよ。っていうか。もっとうるさくなったけど。何て言ったの。あまり言いたくない。いや、言えない。酷いこと言ったから。教えてあげたいけど、その言葉を二度と口にしたくない。マジで、本気で怒ったの。彼女が可哀相だな。
また、明日。
