Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! Fabrizio went salsa dancing with Fuyuka in Roppongi, then he popped into a friend’s bar for drinks. He rushed to the station to catch a train home. But there might be a small problem. He’s going to ask the eki’in (station attendant) what’s going on. Let’s hope he makes it home tonight! We’ll continue our particle review and time review as well as work on a little bit of pronunciation. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!

Mina-san, looks like Fabrizio is just barely going to make it home tonight! (Actually, in the bonus track, he didn’t make it home!)
Also, if you’ve been following this series from the beginning, you’ve had 24 Newbie Lessons, so in the Review Track, we included a few variations and added vocabulary to challenge you. がんばってください！

Great, best part was the word for out of service. Train station lessons are very common but never had the formal and informal for this important description. .. out of service… very important. When I lived in Germany I ended up on an out of service train as my German did not include this… Took me hours to get back to the station.
Very funny episode.

皆さん、お早う！
I really like the word 終電 (しゅうでん) and I like when that appears in a lesson, too.
By the way, Fabrizio was way too drunk in that bonus track. He’s really into partying, isn’t he???
Also, the use of 車庫 (しゃこ) and 回送 (かいそう) are really great because they are definitely not in a regular newbie course.
Thank you for the great lesson again!

Sunday Morning I caught the FIRST Yamonote JR Line out of Ebisu to Tokyo Station to catch the Narita Express. From my experience maybe the first train on a Sunday has even more unusual characters than the last train on a Friday or Saturday evening.
Same goes for the first characters moving about in Roppongi at 5:30 or so on a Sunday Morning

mike in ebisu tokyoさん、very, very true. oh the things these eyes have seen. 
sat morning at 6:30 am on the yamanote line between shibuya and shinagawa, some old drunk guy got on the train and lit up a cigarette. as rude as that is, he at least showed the courtesy to ash out the door when the train stopped at a station. ありえねぇ。

Would a native Japanese speaker have been able to understand Fab in the Bonus track?

Of course they can!!! Hahahahaha. I’m not Japanese and I could totally understand it! And my Japanese boyfriend could understand it with no problem! 
That’s why I love the bonus tracks! They are a real challenge! Something to aim for, especially in this Newbie Series! (it’s a little slow for me, so…)
