だってand でも is it the same? How is it used differently. When I check Jim Breen, でも appeared instead of だって.

だって is the casual version of でも, you can also use it like ‘that’s because…’, which is kind of how Fabrizio used it today; he was offering a reason for his squeamishness.

I saw ゴキブリ written like ゴ! キ! ブ! リ! by Nobita-kun’s mum in Doraemon, do people say it like that a lot?

By the way, if anybody was listening to the LI lesson when Naomi mentioned Jagariko potato snacks, I noticed that they sell food items on White Rabbit Press, including two kinds of Jagariko http://www.whiterabbitpress.com/catalog/Food-and-drink-orderby0-p-1-c-279.html I ordered the caffeinated chewing gum, who needs Red Bull

Hello there ,
i was a little confused about ” datte ” now seems more clear
i like the word gokiburi , funny i asked one guy who says lived in Tokyo for 2
years and he didnt know what gokiburi was

You manage to pack an amazing amount of comedy into a limited vocabulary. I would like to have heard Minami-san reminding Fabrizio to pull his pants back up, but that would have exceeded Newbie vocabulary. Podcast conversations have the same advantage as radio over TV: you can appeal to the mind’s eye in a way that would be very difficult to pull off well with real video.

ゴキブリ？おいしい！だって食べれるんですよ。
ところで、前のレッソンでもゴキブリが出てきましたね。。。確かにちぐさ先生とヨシ先生は拉麺家でゴキブリを見た。
