I love Mina-zan voice as well as Peter-san. They are both very easy to listen to and I’m able to repeat what they say in Japanese. Today, I was able to say to both my larger English classes, “Are you busy? ” They all were thrilled for me! But I do have one question. The lesson regarding “he, she, they…” most of my Japanese friends here in Japan tell me they don’t use the “Kare-la” form to speak just to read and write. Should this be noted in a boardcast? Thanks, An American living in Japan :smile: To all the other beginners out there:

In the example: 虫を集める人が... "the people who collect insects" 集める has a direct object in the clause 虫を集める (i.e. 虫). ...人が東京ドームに集まる... "people gathering at the Tokyo Dome" 集まる has no direct object in this clause (people are just gathering, they are not gathering something) In English it's much harder to distinguish them because many verbs can be used in either way, although the meaning of the verb often changes between the transitive and intransitive case: Transitive: I hurled the baseball at the batter's head.:evil: Intransitive: I hurled during English grammar class.:razz: A transitive verb, in both Japanese and English, is one that has a direct object, while an intransitive verb does not.

Transitive: I hurled the baseball at the batter’s head. :evil:

Intransitive: I hurled during English grammar class. :razz:
