Mina-san, happy Thursday! Have you received any gifts you didn’t know how to appreciate?
Thursday at 8:22 pm
Lol! well this lesson was a gift I appreciate
This was tough vocab, but all good
Thursday at 9:36 pm
Mina-san… genki?
Well, I agree with doraemon, really tough vocab today. Poor guy, I think he spoke too much, should have opened his mouth less.
Maybe then he could have had his gift!
I already think proverbs are difficult to understand in a foreing language, but in Japanese they really need to come with a manual. Everything is so “abbreviated” that you really need good imagination to try to guess what that means.
Because of all this I think Japanese is such an nice language. Isn’t it amazing that you can say so much using just a few words???
I’m becoming a Sachiko-san’s big fan. I like the way she goes through the lessons, especially with Natsuko-san and Peter-san, what a great team you are!!! Just miss Yoshi-san and Chigusa-san. Couldn’t they come occasionally for a special lesson? Maybe another iLove video…
Mata jikai!

Could someone explain the use of だって at the end of some of the sentences. I also heard it used in 今会いにゆきますという映画。でも、意味がちょっとわからない。。。
Friday at 9:47 am
is the って like when you use it to say “it read” or “it says?”
Friday at 1:16 pm
That’s correct デボンさん
That だって is often used to tell about something that you heard a third party say. So I guess a pretty good translation would be “they said”, “it said”, “they say”… etc.
For example this sentence that showed up in today’s lesson:
どちもほとんど同じ意味なんだって。
It’s said that they both have almost the same meaning.
the だって implying that he was told this, and that he didn’t just come to the conclusion on his own.

この会話はちょっとむずざしいですけどでもべんきょうになりましたよ。

ても の Example の中で ”バッグ” わ てんてん おわる と思います。
I think we missed a ten ten on baggu in the third example sentence of how to use temo?

Nevermind. I figured it out.

just for trivia’s sake… a koban (小判) was roughly 16.5 grams of gold… which works out to about 67,000 yen
