Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! The holidays are usually hectic and here at JPod World Headquarters it’s no different. The Tokyo Office will be closed most of this week and next week (or at least operating at minimal capacity). So the weekly schedule will be a little mixed up until Jan. 7. So we want to give you all a heads up. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!

Mina-san, I hope no one is taken aback by the bonus track. 
I was only trying to point out that “Happy New Year” is not said to people who have lost a love one in the past year, and was looking for the appropriate phrase to say to them.
Sumimasen deshita!

That’s actually an important thing to know. If a Japanese person said they lost a loved one, I’d probably say “I’m sorry” like we do in English. But this probably sounds like I committed a murder in Japanese. Ha ha ha ha ha. 
My Spanish friend asked me what to say in English in this situation. I told them “My Condolences.”

”Sights & Sounds: Queued Up for a Crepe”…seems interesting. I am looking forward to that. Is that only available to Premium?
Finally we get 2 intermediate per week. What about Beginner S3?

メリクリスマス！！
So many new things coming up ahead! 
And you have worked so hard this year!
So, have a great break and a good やすみ。
As for us, we have PLENTY to do if we want to study! I am going back to earlier Beginner Lessons, practicing the pronunciations and taking the quizzes. I will never run out of material here.

peter, i think that bonus track was very well-intentioned. as kitty-chanさん pointed out, sometimes we’re at a loss for words it’s good to actually know something like this. and you and naomi先生 made a normally sticky subject entertaining!!
kitty-chanさん、 as always ありがとうございます！ i actually wondered about that same thing before…. for the same reason! i think saying “i’m sorry” in this situation is a typical english idiom. i’m curious about other languages. this isn’t the sort of thing you normally learn.
my favorite part is when you can hear naomi fall out of her chair…. lol
watermenさん、yeah 2 intermediates next week! it’s gonna be great! but hold on to your horses! after jan 7 the intermediate level is getting much harder!! 
beginner season 3 is being re-tooled into a modulated format. also, expect more character development in the new seasons! that’s all i’m saying for now!

Marky-san,
Thanks for correcting my katakana spelling! I can never figure out which syllables are longer! 
日本のてんきはさむすぎますね！さむすぎますですよーシカゴみたいですね！
In Chicago, today It’s 23 F (-5 C). Stay warm!!

Let me get this straight,
You announced that you’re taking a vacation. Then announced that you’re doing lessons during the vacation. So, you’re taking off Friday and Monday only?
I bet if you didn’t announce it, I for one wouldn’t even notice.
おつかれさまです！
Happy Holidays!!!!

I am so happy that I ran across Japanesepod101.com this year. I signed up and during my work trip to Tokyo, it was invaluable. I will continue to learn the language and looking forward to what you guys have for us next year. Definitely keep up the good work and Happy Holidays!!
