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….
Monday at 9:47 pm
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.

nanakaさん,
Type xtu to get っ
ジョン
Monday at 11:31 pm
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!
Tuesday at 12:02 am
Alain-san, apologies. Everything should be up and running now!
As for 時差ぼけ-jet lag
Tuesday at 2:38 am
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!!!
Tuesday at 3:04 am
While we are on the subject, to get small vowels by themselves.
xa ⇒ ぁ
xi ⇒ ぃ
xu ⇒ ぅ
xe ⇒ ぇ
xo ⇒ ぉ
Tuesday at 3:45 am
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!
Tuesday at 7:26 am
John C. Briggs san,
Thank you for this small vowels typing tip !
It also works for xka = ヵ and xke = ヶ.
Tuesday at 6:28 am
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….
Tuesday at 10:36 pm
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.
Monday at 7:58 am
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.

Ordered some books and bought a premium account!
Love you guys, you really make it fun to learn the language.
ありがと ございます

Saturday at 8:29 am
ohhhh again no audio
whats going on J pod?:???:
Friday at 11:22 pm
I wish there was a review audio file for this. I love the review audio files.
Monday at 2:30 pm
Utena-san,
Sorry that we don’t have the review audio for older lessons.
Friday at 11:38 pm
Does Japan has the 12-hour clock or the 24 hour clock? Can you also say juusan ji for gogo ichi ji?
Saturday at 3:56 am
another question. Why is wa used here and not ni? “nihon ni gogo 3 ji da yo” since it should mean (in Japan) I thought ni is for directions *is confused*
Monday at 2:52 pm
Salivia Baker-san,
We use the two systems in Japan. So, we can say in both ways, juusan ji and gogo ichi ji.
This “wa” is a topic marking particle, so “nihon wa gogo 3-ji da yo” literally means, “As for Japan, it is 3:00 pm.”
Monday at 6:34 pm
Thank you Mayumi-san.
Could you also leave off the gogo/gozan when it’s clear which one you mean? Like “I woke up at 3 and couldn’t sleep anymore” or “let’s meet at 3 o’clock”
I see. But could you use ni as well or do I have to use wa? I do understand wa but ni is a bit tricky for me. I know the theory but in sentences it’s a whole different story.
Tuesday at 2:05 pm
Salivia Baker-san,
When it’s clear which one you are saying, you can do without saying gogo/gozen.
For your another question, you can’ t say “nihon ni gogo 3-ji da yo.” “Ni” is a particle marking a location, but “ni” is used to say “something exists in a certain place.” which means “~ni something ga aru.”
Tuesday at 8:09 pm
Arigatou gozaimashita Mayumi-sensei
So you say for -ni time doesn’t exist? Or that it doesn’t exist only at one place?
Wednesday at 7:40 am
Me again. I know I must be bugging you. Sorry.
I listened to the audio again and I wondered about the last part “itsu kara” you translated it as “since when” in the dialogue but those words weren’t in the vocab list, that’s why I tried to look them up in the dictionary to add them to my wordbank. I found itsu but no kara. I then looked it up in the grammar bank and found 3 kara. Now I am wondering which one it is. The first is suppose to come after nouns (itsu/when is not a noun), the second is to come after the -te form and the third is for cause and effect. in which category is our kara here? Or is there a forth?
Wednesday at 2:21 pm
Salivia Baker-san,
Sorry to make you confused.
I thought the reason why you are thinking you can say “nihon ni gogo 3-ji da yo” is because you are thinking “-ni” is a particle for a location. But, when “ni” is used as a particle for a location, it is in a sentence like “(a certain place) ni something ga arimasu,” which means “something exists in a certain place.”
Kara (1) in the grammar bank is for “kara” of “itsu kara.”
“Itsu” is a pronoun indicating an indefinite time. So, it can be thought as a kind of noun.
Wednesday at 5:24 pm
it’s not you it’s the grammar that confuses me. I have the same difficulties with my own language *lol*
The reason I thought it’s ni because I thought ni is something like “here” or “there” like “at a certain location”. be it here in Japan or there in America. Like. kitchen-ni my mum is baking a cake. Or: let’s meet train station-ni. Or: The sun shines Japan-ni.
Ah well I guess I have to study more. Ni is not such a nice particle as no.

If you want to learn Japanese grammar from basic, I’d recommend that you start from Newbie lesson 31. Nihongo-Dojo series.

Thank you Naomi-san.
I will get to it in due time. it’s good top know where to start.
Tuesday at 8:45 am
I can’t seem to find Lesson 6 anywhere hmm….
Tuesday at 4:07 pm
Ellenさん,
We’re currently in the process of organizing our older lessons!
Unfortunately, there isn’t a Lesson 6. Sorry for the confusion
Monday at 12:04 am
Why no review or dialog audio file for this one? Only the full podcast?
Tuesday at 5:06 pm
I will just make you aware that the lesson notes are blank. I’ve seen this problem in other lesson notes too, all the pages are blank.
I hope this will be corrected.
Tuesday at 5:14 pm
Oh, forget my previous comment, now I see that the lesson notes lite is here to replace the first one.
I’ll check if the other lesson have the same.
Wednesday at 9:08 am
If you are having problems viewing the lesson notes, please try the Lite version

時差ぼけは”jet lag”です。 Jisaboke is ‘jet lag’ in English.
時差ぼけは苦しいですね。 成田空港からアトランタまでは20時間ぐらいかな。 Jet lag is miserable. From Tokyo to Atlanta (layovers are required now that there are no direct flights) it takes at least 20 hours on a plane plus layover time in airports.
Friday at 9:10 am
Angry Katieさん,
Wow.. I guess that requires flying to LA or NY somewhere first? Did there used to be direct flights?
20 hours!
Wednesday at 9:50 am
what happened to the review exercise????
Friday at 5:58 am
電話、もしもし、お久しぶり、元気。
何、今午前三時だよ。今日本午後三時です。
でも、いつから。
未だね
Sunday at 10:48 am
I enjoyed the lesson. However, there were new words here for me, and I have been going through the lessons sequentially, that were not included in the premium vocabulary list with audio (e.g. “demo”, “itsu”). Hopefully these will come up again in the next lessons, as I like to add new words to my wordbank as I go.
Thursday at 10:49 am
By far my favorite dialog
