Marky-san,
Thanks for your amazing intros! They are so much fun! I can’t understand them all the time, but I always enjoy them! Keep it up!! What will be next???

sindy-san,
I feel your pain. As for myself, I think I am still a Beginner. But, when I listen to Intermediate lessons, I always pick up some little thing, such a a new vocabulary word, for example. Learning a language seems to be a gradual process — you just keep picking up one thing after another. Think about how a child learns his or her native language.

Many people have decided to go back to some Beginner Lessons in order to recoup missing bits! So, don’t feel bad!

JPOD Team: As for this lesson, I loved it. I was even able to understand a lot of what Natsuko-san said when she spoke Japanese! Nice job, Natsuko-san! And the explanations of vocabulary were all clear and to-the point. Naomi-sensei, thank you so much for your clear explanations, too. Of course,iIt doesn’t hurt that I am a huge baseball fan. Peter-san, I will cheer Chiba Lotte with you (tobemasu?). Too bad they slipped to third place. Do you think they can come back? They were leading the Pacific League for a long time.

私はこのレッソンがちょうどいいと思います。
一回聞くと全部分からないのに、二三回後分かるぐらい。

このレベルは学生たちが全部分からないはず!
I think that at this level, students shouldn’t be able to understand the whole thing. (At least the first time you hear it anyway.)

I liked the intro too. Always like them! It seemed like a promo for an event. I have a suggestion though: although this is a japanese language site, if you really want people to know about the event, I think you should somehow put it in English. That would of course make it kinda boring though…　Maybe we should get transcripts/lessons based on the intros. Especially in the event of an event like this. (In the event of an event?)

Introはいつも頑張ってください!
I actually started a thread on this:

返事がないけど。

Sindy-san,
My remarks were directed to “sindy-san”, not to you. It’s easy to tell the difference. “Feel the pain” means that I understand how difficult it is to learn Japanese. Wakarimasuka?

Liz-san!

You’re right! I know how you can see the difference between me and her.

I also knew that you were referring to “feel the pain” has how difficult is to learning Japanese and that’s why I said that I feel joy, pleasure.

About Silent Hill 3 soundtrack song lyrics it’s a truth that hurts alot and the coat felt on them and me.

Jason-san!

Welcome back, we miss you specially me! S_R_C

glad I’m not alone.. that’s why I find the premium content so useful as can read and listen…except for the intro stuff.

Do I get a commission for plugging Premium content?

As I’ve mentioned before; beginner level here is like Intermediate at Japan Society… still it’s all fun. I get to use one or two words at my local NYC Izakaya so I sound clever… or when I mangle my ke/ka’s or such I sound utterly 馬鹿。 私は日本語で何時も呆けている。
