A very interesting dialogue. And I am the 1st person to post after JP101 this morning.

I was wondering about the Season 2. Is this going to be revising al the lessons from the start or more revising recent lessons and verb/adjective conjugations and grammar points?
Thanx for your help!

I mean “I saw” not “I sae”. Gomen nasai.

Paul-san,

Very observant of you :) Those links to the Introduction Lessons are in preparation for our soon to be launched 3-part series designed to introduce the listener to the JapanesePod101.com’s teaching formula, the result of months of feedback from our passionate community.

Stay tuned… A formal announcement will be made in the very near future.

Paul-san, thanks for the post! :grin: Yes, the politeness level in the conversation is very notable in this dialogue. Notice how the boss uses informal and imperatives when speaking to Ryuta, while Ryuta continues to speak polite Japanese. The politeness level according to relationship is a topic we’ll continue to throw into the spotlight. :grin:

:mrgreen: I agree with Paul-san we both are very observant people. Ohhh before I forget Welcome to the site Paul-san! :wink:

:cool: JP101, Eran, and Peter-san We all be waiting for that formal announcement ok! :wink: S_R_C

Guess what. I listen to jpod so much that my cats have started fllicking their tails to say hello when they first hear Natsuko-san’s voice. :shock: Not Peter-san though. I think they know he prefers dogs.

avatar Sindy says:

Hi Laura-san :grin:

Haven’t seen your post lately! Its good to have you back! keep it up :wink:

:cool: How sweet the same for my dog and cat but my dog won’t listen up like he doesn’t like Japanese at all, only my cat listens up and likes Japanese!
Now I know why because cats are more connected to Asians that dogs :mrgreen: S_R_C
