Well, I hope you know what I mean anyway. Eep, maybe I’m wrong since I just realised I suggested something which would have the speaker putting the ーさん suffix onto something referring to themselves!

The sentence 'わたしは１００円ショップの店員です’。 Is repeated twice! I'm really a newbie so I could be totally wrong but I got the feeling the second time around it was meant to say... 'わたしは１００円ショップの客さんです’ Since that would use one of the new kanji/words for this lesson! Excuse my ignorance if I'm wrong. :dogeza: Just a heads up: In the vocabulary sample sentences for this lesson’s PDF there is an error.

The sentence ‘わたしは１００円ショップの店員です’。

Is repeated twice! I’m really a newbie so I could be totally wrong but I got the feeling the second time around it was meant to say…

‘わたしは１００円ショップの客さんです’

Since that would use one of the new kanji/words for this lesson!

Excuse my ignorance if I’m wrong. :dogeza:

Thank you so much for pointing out and sorry for the trouble. I'll ask the tech team to fix it. :dogeza: shamanana-san Thank you for putting the sentence "Appurupai wa 100en desu" :dogeza: >>The pronunciation of the 店員… that middle ん all but disappears? I am really having trouble pronouncing that word… it sounds almost like “tein” (as in caffein) →ん　in 店員 is nasal sound. (Nasal sound is "n" as in "-ng" sound [cf. going, doing English...]) So it's hard to catch that sound but it's there. So てんいん　is like.... Ten(g)In(g). Kobukuro -san
