Mina-san, this topic was requested a few times in the listener forum and we finally got around to it. If you’re planning to get a haircut while your in Japan, you’ll definitely want to check out the PDF. There are some really useful phrases in there!
thanks for this lesson… I can use this phrase when I visit my Japanese hairstylist the next round.
アメリカ人たち、感謝休日*おめでとう!
(サンクスギビングデイ)
Happy thanksgiving day to all Americans (and anyone else who celebrates it!).
Don’t bother looking up those Kanji, I just made it up. I just thought 感謝休日 would convey the meaning well.
Thanks for another great lesson. That explanation of the “me” in “nagame” was great. You cleared up another of these little mysteries of Japanese for me.
You know, I’ve been thinking about ways you could make the site even better. Personally, I notice that counter words are kind of the weakest link in my sentence formation chain: whenever I have to convey a number, I just stop dead in my tracks. I only know “nin” and “sai”.
So here’s a suggestion: I think you should make an effort to include one or two counter suffixes in most or all lessons, at least at lower intermediate and intermediate level. A kind of Counter of the Day minisection in the vocab section would really help us build up a stock of these counters over time. How about it?
franciscoさん、actually we have a 12 part counter bonanza in the works!
また面白いレッスン、ありがとうございます!
でも、日本で髪の毛切るのには本当に8000円もかかるんですか???
この値段はかなり高いほうですかそれか普通ですか? だって韓国より日本が二倍くらいするというのは分かっていましたがこれはもう、十倍ですのでびっくりしましたよ。
Neilさん、
はい、本当に高いんですね。僕がいつも行っている所は500円くらいです。これは韓国でもかなり安い値段で、普通は700円くらいしたりするんですけど、1000円は過ぎないんです。
アメリカでは1300円くらいが普通ですか?
I cut my own hair with my electric clippers, I will definitely be bringing them to Japan to save money on haircuts!
Great useful lesson, thanks.
I wondered why Japanese men seem so keen to keep their hair (much more than where I’m from) even to using TV advertised black hairspray and expensive implants. Perhaps the kanji: ‘Long Friend’ explanation goes someway to understanding this.
