Another great lesson, JPOD101 team!

The Intermediate Lesson Season 2 starts in the best way: a new and interesting story, a lot of useful vocabulary and expressions （勉強になりました！ ）and above all a very enjoyable conversation in Japanese along with the story.
Indeed I think that these explanations of the main story are the most interesting and useful point of Intermediate Lesson.
And accoding to me it’s a great pleasure to listen to Natsuko-san, Yoshi-san and Peter-san (and of course Sakura-san, Chigusa-san, Take-san and so on) talking together in Japanese: sometimes I feel like I’m in the studio with you all!

Thank you very much once again, JPOD101 team, and 頑張ってください！

Great work everybody you are in short the motivation of my days I agree with Carlo-san, sometimes is easy to imagine speaking with all in the studio!

Well, the new story seems interesting! Good luck for season 2 !

Just a question about the やっと決心したんだもん sentence.
In plain japanese, it would be “kesshin shita no da mono” or “kesshin shita mono da monoda”?
Can you explain this form?

Since these lessons constitute your long-term assets, you’ll probably want to correct a typo in the pdf, even though it is very minor. On the translation page in Mitsuo Yokota’s last line you have him saying “Well, there must be someting to our meeting.” I think there is someting wrong with a spelling.

Where will you take the test?
Thanks

NickTさん、
I will try to send you an email directly and we can talk more that way. I am happy to tell you my email address, but I don’t really want to post it here.

I will be taking the test in NYC but I have a friend that will be taking the Level 3 exam in London at SOAS.
Only 13 days left.

I think it is interesting that there is a Japanese expression related to “the calm after the storm.” In America you often hear people talking about “the calm before the storm”. This can be taken quite literally, or figuratively. For example, I am at work a little early this morning and it is quiet. So I can say it is the calm before the storm, i.e. the storm of people that will soon arrive.
