mikuji-san,
It shows the text in Japanese and the music is played by some kind of tinkling glockenspiel sound.
Thanks! That’s a nice page you sent us.

Here are some small things I found in the PDF
The example “I will eat with Mrs. Suzuki.”
Is listed twice. Once on page 3 and again on page 4.
In the grammar notes
“Noun Mae/mae ni”
should be
“Noun no Mae/mae ni”
Also, the Title for this lesson is
“Beginner Lesson S2 - Diplomatic Duty”
but should be
“Beginner Lesson S2 #7 - Diplomatic Duty”
To be consistent with previous titling used in Podcasts and PDFs.

One more thing, the catagory tag is
Category: Beginner Lessons
should be
Category: Beginner Lessons (S2)

About today’s lesson is good to know about Japanese politics and the prime minister politicians. Mexico City politics and politicians are like a joke, having a good time or something.
I wasn’t seeing something serious until now that the new president (Felipe Calderon Hinojosa) took charge here are some videos:

Happy St. Lucia’s Day (Decebmer 13) to all the people of Sweden, especially JockZon!
Thursday at 7:01 pm
We celebrate Lucia in Norway as well, yesterday my boyfriend and I went to a friend dressed up in white clothes and with candles in our hands. He didn’t want to wake up, even though we brought him buns and clementines…
Thursday at 10:29 pm
Sölvi -> it’s a swedish tradition that you’ve copied
Thursday at 10:54 pm
And, Swedes took Santa Lucia from Italy
Friday at 1:34 am
But the tradition is our
Friday at 1:55 am
so, the particle “de” can be used with places? in the conversation, it was “ginza de”, neh? i always thought it was a “by” or “with” type particle. so, it can be used to show action to a place? therefore, “へ” or “に” do not have to be used?
that was my only question/confusion. as always, i love listening. I am sure having the PDFS and learning center helps. (i asked for a year subscription for Christmas. ^^. hope to get. hee)
and Happy St. Lucia;s day to everyone in Sweden and Norway! Iand, liz-san, I guess I should include Italy in that mix too, eh? ^_~)
Friday at 3:02 am
Luちゃん,
I think the key here is that で is used when an action is taking place at that location. Like “I work at the company”, would be a で situation. For just going to a place, に or へ are used.

Briggs-さん
有賀とございまう。so, in otherwords that sentence “i work at the company” would be: 私はかいしゃでしごとします。 せかい?
thanks so much again.

Mikuji-san,
The komoriuta were delightful- they brought to mind the antique music boxes my father would sometimes work on when I was a child. Thank you for sharing-
