An intermediate lesson on New Year’s Day?
ひどすぎよ！
I’m barely recovering from last night’s alcohol. *OoOooOo… head pounding again*

皆さん、良いお年を!
アメリカにおせち料理は高い。高い一番多い＄４００だった。日本には値段が同じあるの？日本人は自家製のおせち料理を食べてかな。俺がおせちを食べない。
今日の夜は２ビールだけ飲みった。俺の新しいことわざ: 新年、ビールより少ない!

I liked this lesson, happy New Year. Was Sakura supposed to be playing a boy? or was that just another example of female characters being referred to as men (usually happens to Ushijima) ?
I understood all of it except the new words, which I could pick up at the end of the lesson, so it’s looking like a good start to the new year

I think she was a little boy. Sounded like the mother had one 2 many otosos!

Wasted!
I think we should start doing otoshidamas in the US.
And soon, I’m almost finished with college, that seems like the logical cut off date.

I was surprised to hear 僕 as well… But young girls can use this word as well, can’t they?
Saturday at 12:33 am
I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask grammar questions but anyway here goes:
In the middle of the dialog Daichi sais: … ずーっとお年玉もらいたいんだもん！
I am wondering about the もん at the end. I have encountered it a few times but seem to have missed the grammar lesson on it. What does it mean? Would there be a difference in meaning if it were simply left out?
Thanks and keep up the good work! I have been listening for only 2 weeks but I am very happy with japanesepod101.com.

katafeiさん、girls don’t use 僕 - if they do, they’re being strange or pretending to be boys.
Saturday at 10:21 am
もん is a statement ending particle used by girls and kids. It’s used to emphasise what they’ve said. It’s a little bit cute, which is why men don’t use it so much.

Anyone interested in new years’ greetings written by real live Japanese people, come over to http://www.englishpod101.com/2008/01/01/happy-new-year-and-happy-holidays/?lan=english#comment-308 .
I hope EPod and JPod listeners can converse more in the new year. If you feel you want to [i]use[/i] your Japanese with a group of Japanese people, EPod is ideal!

マーキースター さん、
Actually, I find that heaps of younger girls (elementary and jr high) use 僕. In the Tokyo area, at least, it seems to be trendy. That, and referring to themselves in the 3rd person.
