I’m very pleased that this is a new installment in the Travelblogue series. While the intermediate lessons are always very useful for me, I also like stories to continue until they reach a reasonable conclusion, rather than just fading away.

I can’t pick up what Natsuko-san said in Japanese when she said “Can’t pass one’s throat.” Was is 「これはしょくよくすると」?

Poor Agnes, when will the suffering end?
What is the payment system in Japan? In England, the National Health Service takes care of GP and hospital fees. The service is terrible in hospitals though (in terms of time), and there are generally waiting lists for surgery/procedures that don’t require immediate attention.
If it’s like the crazily expensive system in the US, maybe a phrase such as すみませんが、日本語がよく分からないんですけど。。 should have been introduced for paying the bill

Javizy, in my opinion, at least National Health Care of Japan is much better than UK (well, I’m not living in UK but here in Ireland, it really sucks so I assume it’s kinda similar). When I was in Japan, the hokenshou takes care of everything and I did avail of all kinds of check-up for a relatively low cost. In particular, I had dental cleaning every other month just to make full use of what I had paid for the whole year.
So, that’s one thing really excellent in Japan.

one thing I could suggest as an improvement to your excellent podcast is to set some kind of listening task for the initial listening of the dialogue. Its good that you set the scene and give the target grammar but a single comprehension question might be nice just to give the first listening a focus. If there’s no question then I just end up trying to understand everything on the first go (which I shouldn’t be able to do if its at the right level.)
anyway, keep up the excellent work!

oh and in response to “tenmongakusha”’s post perhaps it’s “chokuyakusuruto” which means “to translate something literally or directly”. Haven’t listened to this episode yet so I’m just guessing.

It must be awful to be named Gary if you are living in Japan…

ごめん、僕は馬鹿だ。I have been laughing at this all day.
Gregさん、良い考え!
Friday at 4:34 am
gregさん, thanks for the suggestion. actually, we’ve talked about that kind of idea around here alot. and the ultimate conclusion was that after you listen to the free lesson, that’s where the dialog track and review track come in.
we set you up with a difficult listening challenge in the main lesson, then we explain it or discuss it, and then we even attach the conversation on to the end again. the free lesson is free. and if you think about it, it’s kind of a throw away.
*the real practice comes in when you work exclusively with the dialog track and review track. * you’ve got a PDF, the Learning Center and the portable dialog track , which IMHO is the real gold.
