Mina-san, here’s another great lesson to brush up on your counters. In this lesson we cover the ~杯 counters which are used for cups! Do you drink いっぱい beer or just いっぱい?(笑)

bakanekoさん、

I think you mean ビール。I’d hate to think someone’s trying to drink a building. That would be いっぱい!!! :lol:

max1さん, the studio provides us mics. and on 2 days they gave us bum mics. please be patient as we have about 12 lessons recorded under those conditions. :cry:
over the next few weeks you’ll come across them, and i apologize whole-heartedly. 申し訳御座いません!  :cry:
i’m looking for the 切腹 emoticon but i can’t find it.

:mrgreen:  Sapporo is one of my favorites, along with Asahi, Kirin and Tsing Tao. Asian beer is really good! Just outside of Chicago, I found a Kaiten sushi bar that has Sapporo on tap. That place is excellent, I always practice my Japanese there.

Are any Japanese listeners familiar with a pub crawl? You should start an Izakaya crawl, Natsuko should be the leader of the event!

ところで, I had posted as ERIC EINZIG recently. That’s my pen name, not sure why I used it on here. I’m using my real name from now on, so don’t be confused!

Scott Curry says:

マーキーさん、

Thanks for the info! There is an Asian market I go to a lot that has a seperate liquor store. They have a a very large variety of 酒, but only a few brands of ビール. I am going to ask them if they could order me ヱビス this Friday. I’m glad there is dark Japanese beer!

Markystar,

I visited friends in Osaka a few weeks ago and our host served us Yebisu. He and I were in agreement - it’s Japanese beer that actually tastes all right! I remember it specifically because I’d never seen ゑ in the real world before.

When I am studying home, I listen to the Vocabulary list with audio. I think the audio on the vocabulary list has a wrong item. いっぱい. It sounds closer to the a lot more than 1 cup (which is written in the list)
This was just to help out others. I memorize the 1 cup as a sound going from high pitch to low, because it is 1 not 100. And a lot/full is a low pitch to high, because it is a lot. Maybe that can help out others.

Thanks for a great site. I am a premium member, of course :-)
From Monday till Friday I am studying together with a Japanese teacher and we are listening to the conversation and talking about lessons. Great!

Hiroko says:

Knut Ola Topland san> Thanks a bunch for pointing that out! For the older lessons like this, the system automatically picked the audio vocab that has the same sound as the written one, so now, we are replacing them with the vocab audio as we notice the mistakes like this one. So, big thanks to you, we’ll try putting the correct version soon :dogeza:
