From my perspective Lower 6 is the best and most professional one. One of the main reasons is Peter is not there. Peter has the best expertise and knowledge in Japanese and teaching but not in joking. That's what I would like to express. Please always focus on delivering knowledge of Japanese to listener and leave those chatting and catching up out of the class. BTW, JapanesePod101 is still the best recommendation from me to every Japanese learner. Actually I am now in Intermediate and have finished all Lower Intermediate ones.

I recommend jumping ahead to lower Intermediate Seasons 4, 5, and 6 for lessons like this :) Hi Johnny,

And too much laughing also makes people annoyed. I would rather like to have much more professional and serious teaching content instead of non-funny joking and fooling around most of the time.

I liked how you told the entire story in Japanese, and then did it slower, and then did it one more time with the English translation as you went. This worked extremely well I think. :) I really enjoyed this.

Maybe you could in the lessons inform people which particle lesson they could use to get more information related to the lesson. In this case "to". You could make more use of the particle lessons plus help add some re-enforcement work to the main lesson the person is studying..... food for thought Cheers Brad Hello,

Serious illness or other situation is often described as grave, which comes from the Latin "gravis" or heavy. (Like gravity.) In fact, if you ever watched the original "Back to the Future" movie, you might remember 1980's Marty often used the slang "Heavy" whenever he heard serious news. He used the expression so much that 1950's Doc asked him if there was something wrong with the gravity in the future. Peter, English has the exact translation for 重い病気．It is a “grave illness”.
