Mina-san, it happened again. This morning somebody broke into our office and stole today’s Beginner Season 2 Lesson! Poor Marky just about had a heart attack when he realized it. But have no fear, we’re giving you the Lower Intermediate Lesson today while we search for the evil-doers who sabotaged us AGAIN. Marky went ahead and put together a bonus study track which gives you the continuous conversation from parts 1 & 2 so you can really benefit from this lesson!

Sachiko-san, Hawaiian (pineapple and ham) style pizza is commonplace in the UK, and stuffed-crust has been around for a long time!
Pizza is fairly expensive here too; it’s about £10 for a medium with toppings (which definitely won’t stretch between 2-3 people!). If they don’t make their ETA you get it for free, but this has never happened to me

An interesting use for 半 (half) is 半島, the word for ‘peninsula’. The second kanji is ‘island’, so a peninsula is called a ‘half island’.
オーストラリアでもハワイのピザもあるよ。
oosutoraria de mo hawai no piza mo aru yo.
In Australia, we have hawaiian pizza too dude.

As for me, I can eat one M pizza on my own.
(One Shanghai medium pizza anyway.)

Should One Pizza be 一つ、一枚 or something else?
Wednesday at 9:59 pm
I’m so tempted to pick up the phone and order a pizza from japan for delivery to New York. 45 minutes or else half off, eh?

bakanekoさん、
hahahahahahahaha, やってみてください!
maxiewawaさん、
i’ve been saying 一枚 and sometimes 一つ (not that it makes me an expert)
but when i asked nozomiさん (our Aomori-ben expert) she said 「ピザは一枚だよ♪」
also, glad you liked the イントロ! 有難う御座います♪ that’s what happens when you lock me and yuuki and yoshikai in the studio for too long.
on another note,
in st. louis and chicago we had hawaiian pizza too: pineapple and ham or bacon. i especially liked it on st. louis style pizza which uses provel cheese. it’s soooooo good!
by the way, if you don’t know st. louis style pizza, here’s a little blurb about it in wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis-style_pizza
if you ever go to st. louis, i totally recommend FARACI’s PIZZA in Ellisville. it’s family owned, and they make the best pizza in that city. for your first time, i suggest a pepperoni & sausage. and enjoy the party-cut! it’s more fun to eat. seriously!

In California we have Hawaiian pizza as well. Usually it’s Canadian Bacon (the Canadians must love that nomenclature!
) with pineapple.
However, we do not have “Monterey” pizza. When I came to Japan, and saw Monterey pizza on the menu, I was grossed out to see that it had mayonnaise and potato on it.
Speaking of weird flavors, Pepsi now has a flavor called “Iced Cucumber”!
Markyさん、
You prefer processed cheese to Mozzarella?
What do you think Peterさん?

これはとてもとても楽しいレッソンです!!
We also have pinapple pizzas in Brazil too, but I think we call it “Califórnia”. We also have “Portuguesa” that comes with eggs, peas, corn, onions, ham, and lots of other things.
Besides, I love the sweet pizzas, with chocolate and strawberry, banana and cinnamon, some with ice cream… great ones.
We don’t have any kind of discont in case the pizza comes late, actually sometimes they do take long to come. By the way, I was really surprised to hear about the prices you guys pay there. An expensive large pizza here would cost around $10 dollars!
さちこさん、how come you like fermented beans?? Actually, I am not such a fan of beans, I prefer lentils, but not on a pizza! And how can you compare the size of a pizza with the size of a foot??? That was so disgustingly funny!!! hahahaha That also made me think, shoe size in Japan is based on a person’s foot length?
Why is there so much difference in shoe size numbers around the world? Does anybody know??
また!

Marky,
I’m glad you enjoyed St. Louis style pizza. The most famous St. Louis style pizza in St. Louis is Imo’s. Some St. Louisans actually don’t like the provel cheese, but I do. And it is much less expensive than in Japan. St. Louis has a very large Japanese Festival (aki matsuri) in September at the Missouri Botanical Garden (mobot.org), which has one of the largest Japanese Garden (seiwa-en) in the US.
I am Japanese American and have been to Japan 3 times and really enjoyed every trip. My father’s family is from Kumamoto in Kyushu and my mother’s family is from Wakayama. I have met relatives in both areas.
I took Nihon-go lessons from Berlitz about 10 years ago and JP101 really helps to build onto those introductory classes. I seem to learn something from classes of every level.
Arigato gozaimasu,
Steve
St. Louis, Missouri, USA

Javizy-san -
Same information on types of pizza here in the Ohio/Michigan area.
Here, they vary. Several places have medium peperoni pizzas for about $5, large 2 topping pizzas are usually about $10.
Medium pizzas here are usually about 12in (30cm), large about 15in (38cm), XL are about 18in (45cm).

Hey Guys,
I just wanted to add that Hawaiian Pizza is common place in Germany, too . As in the UK, in California and in Brazil
Moreover, in Germany there are different Pizzas every season as well. Currently, for example, my pizza place offers a greek style pizza, topped with miced meat, onion, feta cheese and peperoni …
And here you can have a look at the delicious pizzas we have here in Germany. Be aware of the prices! Maybe you should come here, if you like pizza!
Pizza “Kentucky”
Salami (4,60 € - 8,70 €)
Pizza “Hawaii”
Bacon, Pineapple (5,10 € - 9,70 €)
Pizza “Alaska”
Tuna, Onion (5,40 € - 10,30 €)
Pizza “New York”
Tuna, Bacon, Mushrooms, Spinach (6,70 € - 12,90 €)
Pizza “California”
Mushrooms, Broccoli, Tomato, Corn (7,20 € - 13,90 €)
By the way: 1€ = 1,34$ = 165 円

I LOVE Hawaiian pizza. It’s common in Canada and NZ, but not so much in the US. It’s hard to find frozen Hawaiian pizzas in the supermarket for example. I think it’s the best - such a perfect combination of sweet pineapple and salty ham.
I once ordered Hawaiian at a little pizza place in Italy. The pizza chef was really peeved. He started huffing and rolling his eyes and saying “Pineapple?! You call this pizza?! This isn’t pizza! This is food for children!” He made it, but he complained the whole time, as if my pineapple request forced him to betray the art of pizza-making.

Woah, was that Kazunori I just heard? Ha ha ha its great to hear the alpha male again.

I actually understood the intro this time!!!
Where can I buy JapanesePod Sauce??!!! たべたいです!

Not bad, but I thought this lesson had too much talking about weird pizza types and not enough Japanese learning (11:55 to 14:30). This kind of stuff should probably have gone into a cultural lesson instead of a regular lesson. Please try to stick to reviewing vocab and keep the lessons short and concise. It’s a pain to listen to all of that other stuff again when trying to review a lesson. Otherwise, the dialogue was quite good this time around. Thanks.
Wednesday at 5:11 am
I agree with Crackerjacksoul. Please, a little less banter in English about stuff that may not be of all-round importance and a little more attention paid to the actual lesson. Peter’s really great at keeping the lesson ‘on track’. Woud like to add that this is the best site I’ve come across for learning Japanese. Many thanks.

I have a question about “chumon”.
I like the word’s gogen(語源), even though I know it means order in Modern Japanese, but can’t figure what what’s it mean(注文) by separate the Kanji.注 can translate to “note”, “文”どういう意味でしょうか.
Anybody knows this?
