although a serious theme, it was still great fun!
Thankfully, we don´t get any here

I like it when you take more time to go into grammar explanations, I appreciate that

Norgus-san, If you are reading - thanks! You taught me the word for flute! I didn´t know it

Although I am originally from Italy, I missed all the big earthquakes there including that of 1980 which was felt as far a Rome from the South and later ones in Umbria.

However, I experienced an earthquake in England once, whilst I was at work on the 3rd floor of a concrete structure building. It was not so much a shake as a little sudden jump!

Needless to say, earthquakes in England are very rare and they are not part of any safety drill at work or in school.

Good lesson as always, or *great* I suppose Peter would say I don’t think I’ve ever experienced an earthquake here in London. The last time I remember the house shaking was when the bomb went off at Canary Wharf

Jordi, Japanese Culture Class #25 - Disaster Prevention Day, I listened to it the other day. Here’s the link http://www.japanesepod101.com/2006/09/02/japanese-culture-class-25-disaster-prevention-day/ I’d recommend listening to the others if you haven’t already, they are just as fun as the regular lessons, but you just sit back and listen without trying to absorb grammar, vocab, etc

Fairly frequently I find mistakes in the romaji version of the lesson that at times present problems. For example, today the romaji for card is given as “miai”. I tried to find information about this word without success and then checked the hiragana which gives the word as “mimai”. However, your lessons are great. How do you find japanese speakers which have such perfect japanese and english accents?

JP101 Crew and Listeners!

Great Disaster Lesson!

Mexico suffer from a big earthquake on 1985, alot of people loss everything they own. There were also a huge loss of family members, co workers and friends too. Mexico and Japan have similar things in common, we suffers from earthquakes but not that heavy like Japanese ones.

I agree with doraemon-san! Thank god we don’t suffer from earthquakes on USA or NYC BUT no one knows and maybe someday NYC can suffer one too! S_R_C

PS: Keep up that good work JP101 Crew and Staff!
