But this time -ka is used to say the speaker's opinion in the extra formal way. He is sure that it is an important customer but he used -ka "I wonder" because it can express politeness to the listener　to avoid straightforward answer. I hope this helps. Derrick-san,

“I wonder if I’ve caught a cold, my head hurts.”

He is sure that it is an important customer but he used -ka “I wonder” because it can express politeness to the listener　to avoid straightforward answer.
I hope this helps.

The verb used in the second sentence is やらせます (informal form やらせる), which literally means "to make or let [someone] do". They're essentially saying "Let's make Kinoshita do it/take care of it". I hope this helps! Tachikomaさん,

I'm stuck on a few words - きのしたはらいげつまでしゅっしゃしません - What does 'shussa' mean? きのしたにやらせましょう - What is the verb used here? It's translated as 'ask', but ask is usually 'tazuneru', or 'ukagau'... The current season (season 6 at the time of writing) is incredibly easy - it's really more like beginner level, but season 1 is hard as nails..! Thanks all!

Lower Intermediate season 4 and 5 are more organized and easier to follow. So my recommendation is listen Lower Intermediate season 4 →5 first. Then listen Lower Intermediate season season 3 →　2 → 1 Then move up to Upper intermediate.:wink: Anthony-san

I have made more improvements in the past month than in a whole year of trying to study on my own with books. Thanks JPOD!

I agree, i love listening to all the lessons. the more I listen, the better I get.

I think I will listen to it one more time. Shenyong, I would say try jumping in around beginners lesson 100. You can then jump backwards or forwards from there depending how easy you find it.
