Mina-san, doshichya? Are you ready for the weekend?
I was listening to this conversation in the Line-by-Line audio in the Learning Center trying to put my finger on the intonation. I’ve tried to mimic it but can’t quite get it right. How about you?

Oh, I love this although I find it difficult.
By the way, there is no audio to click onto - did you forget this? 
I would love to listen 
Happy Friday, all!

Dialects are a little ahead of me at the moment, but today’s lesson was fun. Is your average Joe Tokyo familiar with dialects or just famous phrases and buzzwords?
I’m also not a fan of seafood or fish, even though I’m from fish ‘n’ chips England. I’ve been working up the courage to try sushi
Btw, where did Nozomi come from? I haven’t heard her in any of the regular lessons. She’s pretty funny and sounds quite energetic

dialects are a little ahead of everyone, i think. that’s why we are doing these as Culture Classes and not real lessons. the truth be told, i play these conversations for our hosts and senseis and they can only understand 50% without a standard japanese translation.
if you can’t follow it, don’t worry, they can’t either. it’s just for fun!
as for sushi, if you’re in tokyo i’ll introduce you or anyone. i used to fear it and now i love it!!

JP101 Crew and Listeners! 
WOW!
Great dialect lesson!
I have to definitive agree with Javizy-san about Nozomi-san. 
She sounds beautiful, her laugh, her voice is very plesant and her English is great!
Peter-san lets have Nozomi-san do JP101 lesson too, she will be a great replace of Chigusa-san!

I really enjoy these Aomori-ben podcasts as I might go to Aomori in August this year, even though they are far too advanced for my beginner’s ears

Asahi_NYsurfさん、i’ll be doing an osaka-ben series soon. Just having trouble coordinating schedules (since it wouldn’t be our normal voice actors).
デボンさん、not sure japanese classes in chicago, unfortunately. 
for those of you who like the aomori-ben series. this was supposed to be the last one and i planned to have a bonus track that was only a conversation. but we expanded it into a (full?) lesson. so there will be one more!

An osaka-ben series sounds interesting. If you guys are looking to do the dialect Nyuu-Yooku-ben, I’ll be glad to help out too.

JPodのメンバーは返事してくれたのが初めてですので、一寸スターに夢中になりました 。はい、レッスンはかなりむずかしかったんですけど、日本語がほんの三ヶ月半のためにべんきょうしていました。のぞみさんはレッスンにはすばらしかったんですが、まだ聞くのをきぼうしているんですよ 。
