Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Last week the children learned about Oasis and what to do in an emergency. But today, two students’ disagreement turns into a disaster of its own! Today we’ll look at using the particle bakari (nothing but/only) and the phrase kuse ni (in spite of). After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!

Mina-san, we combined parts 1 & 2 of the conversation as a bonus track so you can review just the Japanese! If you think it’s good practice for you, let us know; we can do this for future multi-part stories!
The combined audio can also be found in the Line By Line Transcript in the Learning Center!
Enjoy!

I think it´s a nice idea but if it´s a lot of work not really necessary! It just takes a click to review 
Much prefer more grammar input 
Happy Tuesday!

のぞみさんはかわいそうですね。しかし、山田さんには学級の全員前になかなか恥ずかしいです。いいレッスンで多い文法をべんきょうするんですよ。
Poor Nozomi, but it must have been quite embarrassing for Yamada in front of the whole class. Good lesson, and lots of grammar to study
Did I get ‘for Yamada’ correct by using に or should it be のために or something else?

The bakari explanation was good!!
I like any example that involves SUSHI!!
Thank you for the bonus track!
It’s good practice to listen without any explanation and translation sometimes!

I think this bonus track is a good idea, as it can be very useful to listen to the conversations making up a series all at once!

JP101 Crew and Listeners!
I’m glad to hear Nozomi-san again, now making lessons and not dialect.
Thank you Peter-san for hearing my prayers!
Yamada-san must be blind not to see what his missing all the time. 
Marky-san thank you for giving your JP101
e-mail!

Sindy,
Are you sure it’s not Ushijima playing a character named Nozomi? She doesn’t sound like Aomori Nozomi to me.

Javizy-san!
Really 
Well I’m not sure, I though it was Nozomi-san because of the name. I went to listen back both audios and yeah maybe your right!

Wow! For a short conversation, you managed to throw in a lot of drama and paint a very complex web. That is the hallmark of a master script writer. Hold onto whomever wrote this one.
別の話ですが, as is getting more frequent these days, this “beginner” lesson included several words that this Japan veteran didn’t know at all! Keep up the good work!
