Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Today we bring you information about the first party of the New Year in Japan, known as shinnenkai. Much like the bounenkai, or year-end party, the shinnenkai is a chance to get together with friends, family, co-workers, etc. and have a good time - but there’s a little more behind it! In line with firsts, we are introducing a new voice once again in today’s culture class - Megumi-san! After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com for a delicious PDF, and be sure to leave a post!

めぐみさん、ようこそ。
皆さん、不順なお天気が続いています。それでかどうか新年会をする。酒をぐいぐい飲んでべろべろに成ってドシンと落ちる。明日むかむかしてくるぞ。

めぐみさん、great job! ♪(*^ ・^)ノ⌒☆
もう３つの新年会に行かないとダメでしたから、体の調子が悪くなってしまいました。１２月には忘年会も３回行きました。ホントに大変ですね！
i can honestly say, i had to go to 3 shinnenkai and 3 bounenkai and my body is tired! and since they were all work related, i had no choice. i think i’m just ready to get on with 2007!
Alanさんもパーティーにいっぱい行きましたか？
