Mina-san,
Fabrizio is quite a character, eh? What do you think about his purchase? How much is that in your country’s currency? Would you pay that much for an umbrella?

Also, you may have noticed a few changes today. We’ll begin offering a Review track to help practice pronunciation and pitch accent for both vocab and sentences. Also, we’ll begin offering the Dialog without the lesson portion to help practice listening comprehension. These are both premium features.

We’ve had a lot of requests for something like this, so we hope everyone finds this helpful. We still working out the specifics, so we’d love to hear your feedback!

Korean class - great fun! Thanks for that, just the right thing for taking a break

Liz-san, Lovely to get your message. I pm ´ed you but somehow I don´t think it went through. I will try again and include my e-mail - I would love to get back in touch

I also haven´t heard from Vicky-san in quite a while.

Doraemon-san,
Always a pleasure to hear from you! Thank you so much for your message. *Golden Girls* ??? What fun!

Sindy-san,
Hi there! It´s quite easy to spot - I am and have always been the one with a little “s”. Your sig carries a capital “S”, ne
I do, however, remember how upset you can become from past incidences and I was going to take a break in any case. So the board is all yours.
Keep up the studying and have fun.

Peter-san,
The review track is a great idea. Pronunciation is something I surely need to work on so studying accent/pitch is very useful.

Have a great Monday, Mina-san and gambatte, ne

Thanks for the very informative lesson about the umbrella. I wonder if it is correct to add the honorific/affective prefix “o” to ‘kasa’, just as in ‘obento’ or ‘ohashi’. Or are japanese people not so affective about their umbrella?

Not nearly as scarey as the other story!
Yay, Fabrizio!

By the way, I have a Burberry Umbrella which cost $130. It’s very cute and pink.

Javizy, I see it in many pictures of Tokyo girls fashion, and I thought it was stylish. So I bought it. What is a so-called ‘chavs?’

Peter-
You got things backwards in the bonus track. We reset quicker in English. We reset first at the thousand mark, not the million mark. The million mark is the second reset. (we reset every 3 digits (IE one, ten, hundred (RESET) thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand (RESET) million, ten million, hundred million (RESET) billion….) Japanese resets every 4 digits (一, 十, 百, 千 (RESET) 万, 十万, 百万, 千万 (RESET) 億, 十億, 百億, 千億 (RESET) 兆, 十兆, 百兆, 千兆 …)

You shouldn’t leave because of Sindyさん’s comments. Your voice is valued here, so please keep posting.

Peterさん、

You are still trying to convert yen to dollars in your head? I stopped bothering to do this after my first couple of years here. Better just to get used to thinking in yen.

Sindy-san, you were looking for me?? So sorry I don’t come here much as used to be. Just keeping pretty busy lately, but I still do listen the lesson everyday~~~

Thank you for still thinking about me, Im still around the corners

I guess we know different as Sindy and sindy???

my comment was for sindy-san then…please stick with us!!!

Liz-san, as always ありがとうございます！I was reading your post on Miki’s blog this week, and I thought to myself, “Wow, go Liz, go!” It is really, really cool to see your Japanese progress! 頑張って！Liz! And thank you for all the support! We couldn’t have done it without you, the listeners!
ありがとうございます！

I dont like the idea of this site being a pay site…. T.T, i would really love it if this site can become a local site for all those japanese lovers out there who wants to learn!

What are the two girls arguing about in the beginning?
