When you have excess energy, what do you do to burn it off?

I like those informal male speakers’ lessons, like “Quitters” or this sensei today. That’s what we need to understand men in Japan or in Kitano’s movies.
Thnak you.

Great Lesson!!!

Why you folks don’t make some Kansai-ben lessons??

Doesn’t this teacher know that it’s an all boys school? Has he seen any girls in any of his classes?

very interesting
never heard about this before
thanks

I think “hon wo yomimashou” is interpreted as “let’s read a book.”

For the sentence “you should read a book,” I would guess it’s “hon wo yomanai wa ikenai.”

I’ve always found it interesting that Japanese have so many roundabout ways of saying things. In English we might say “you should read it” but in Japanese it is impossible to be so direct without giving an order. 「読んだ方がいい」＝ It would be better if you read it 「読まないと行けない」＝　If you don’t read it, it won’t do…

you forgot “~ta hou ga ii??”
but that was today’s lesson?!

OkayamaS-san,

I now remembered “-ta hou ga ii” because of today’s lesson! But the point is: I did not remember it before this lesson when I was trying to make up a construction using “should”

Mayumi-san,

Thank you very much. Really nice explanation! 有り難う!
