In Juice podcast feeder ... There was a new download for a premium audio ( 2 of them, actually ) One download crashed, and the other one was just called "premium_audio.mp3". This was the same as the orginal lesson - same size, same content. In the Learning forum ... The audio, premium audio, and basic audio appear to be the same. The premium notes are the same as the standard lesson notes. If you click the link to download the Basic audio, you get an "unknown page" error .. They may be some more bugs ... happy hunting !!:mrgreen: Looks like there are a few techical bugs with this lesson.

The verb for headgear wasn't covered though; it's kakeru isn't it? I'm not a fan of interfering shop assistants, but the most I usually get asked is 'are you alright?', to which I bust out the trusty 'just looking, thanks'. Speaking of clothes, my friend had a Japanese fashion magazine, which was dedicated mostly to lolita goth stuff. Some of the girls look cute in the frilly dresses, but you'd look ridiculous leaving the house in that garb. How did this come about, and how popular is it? It seems to be simply a fashion trend rather than a short-sighted, paradoxical "ideology" like that of western goffz. Good lesson, I was meaning to get around to learning about getting dressed.

Even if you just want to have a cursory look at jewelry or clothing items just to see what they have in department stores, you are almost assured to get a shop clerk right in your face recommending something or asking (at times pressuring)you to try something on. A good expression to learn is ：見てるだけです。 Mitteru dake desu. This means..."Just looking, thanks"　Comes in very handy here. But even that sometimes doesn't work. I guess they under an insurmountable amount of pressure to sell. Quite a few store clerks in Japan tend to be a bit aggressive.
