Mina-san, 時差ぼけって知っていますか。Jisa boke tte shitte imasu ka?
Do you know what jisa boke means?
Answer to come shortly….
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.
Great lesson as always, very useful to reinforce my basics
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
Greetings to all, have a great week!
Alain-san, apologies. Everything should be up and running now!
As for 時差ぼけ-jet lag
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!!!
While we are on the subject, to get small vowels by themselves.
xa ⇒ ぁ
xi ⇒ ぃ
xu ⇒ ぅ
xe ⇒ ぇ
xo ⇒ ぉ
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!
John C. Briggs san,
Thank you for this small vowels typing tip !
It also works for xka = ヵ and xke = ヶ.
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….
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.
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.
