One issue though: I sometimes find (for instance in this lesson) that the most important stuff is missing from the vocab list. In my opinion, this lesson is about how to convey that your order was messed up, and the singlemost important phrase is "... wa chumon shiteinain desu kedo". Neither chumon or any other part of the phrase is included in the vocab... Same for the previous shrine lessons - the most important phrase/word is missing - "please teach me". It's important not to leave out words essential for survival, as this is survival phrases :-) Other than that, keep up the good work! /E Hi guys,

I think it was after the popularity of this series of intros that they were included. Guys, more recent lessons all have the intros scripted.

But I wouldn't mind having a go transcribing/translating them myself (if other people helped). This one was super easy though. The waiter felt bad for bring the wrong food and committed hari-kiri. Hahahahahahaha :lol: I don’t think the bonus tracks are scripted.

Though it's good practice to try work them out ourselves, there should at least be a provided transcript so that if we cannot work them out ourselves, we can at least read what they are and learn from that.

Tough luck to those like me who are not proficient in Japanese. I guess that’s what “bonus” means, some “gets” it, some “misses out”. Tough luck to those like me who are not proficient in Japanese.

They'd definately be useful but maybe it's good practice not to be able to work everything out immediately. Often when Japanese speak to me I have to guess at quite a lot. (they don't come with pdf transcripts :lol:) And the bonus tracks are quite short so maybe it's a nice little challenge to work them out. a race to transcribe/translate the bonus instead of being the first poster? Maybe if transcripts were to be given they could be held back for a few days or a week. On transcripts for bonus audio.

If you could do a lesson on common "menu" words, such as teishoku, nomimono, and appetizers (?) that would be awesome! Reading menus can be such a challenge, ne? Arigatou!! :razz: I would love to see more lessons like this, about food appearing on Japanese menus.
