Mina-san, 時差ぼけって知っていますか。Jisa boke tte shitte imasu ka?

Once more no line by line audio and no ipod sound file!
It becomes impossible to learn with ilearning center. In fact, I’m working again with the basic features.

It could be a choice not to give audio files in the intermediate lessons(?), but here it’s a newbie lesson.

avatar Hugo says:

Great lesson as always, very useful to reinforce my basics :razz:

Nanaka-san to type the little “つ”, the only thing what you have to do is press two time the consonant letter, for example is you type gakki (musical instrument) the result is gonna be がっき、rember this tips works in Windows XP with the IME interface activate and the Input mode in Hiragana, I hope what this can help you :grin:

Greetings to all, have a great week! :mrgreen:

avatar JapanesePod101.com says:

Alain-san, apologies. Everything should be up and running now!

As for 時差ぼけ-jet lag :grin:

avatar Liz21 says:

John-san and Hugo-san,
Great tips for typing Japanese! Also, I have learned how to write ん. You type “n” two times, when you are in hiragana mode!!!

avatar John C. Briggs says:

While we are on the subject, to get small vowels by themselves.
   xa ⇒ ぁ
   xi ⇒ ぃ
   xu ⇒ ぅ
   xe ⇒ ぇ
   xo ⇒ ぉ

avatar nanaka says:

John C. Briggs-san, thanks as always. You are really knowledgable, aren’ you? ^_^.

Also thanks to Hugo-san for explaining, that’s normally how I get a ‘っ’, followed by deleting the ones I don’t need.^_^

So, Liz21-son, we are learning new things every day, aren’t we? ^_^

btw, where is my earlier comment? It’s gone!

avatar Alain says:

John C. Briggs san,
Thank you for this small vowels typing tip !
It also works for xka = ヵ and xke = ヶ.

avatar rain says:

Is the time difference in this lesson a loose example? I am getting that it would be 5PM there in Japan while it is 3AM here in the Eastern Time Zone. Perhaps I’m just confused & that why I’m always lte for my penpal chats…. :grin:

avatar John C. Briggs says:

Rainさん,
I think you are right about the time difference. I wonder how “Daylight Savings Time” in the USA impacts the time difference.

:???: There is no lesson #10 anywhere. Nothing on iTunes, Podcast Alley - even the J101 site can’t fine any file in the library! I’m supposed to get an autoupdate, but this one skipped.

avatar Eran says:

Hi Kat-san,

Our media hosting provider had a glitch with this file. Issue should be corrected. Thanks for bringing it to our attention and apologies for the inconvenience.
