I ate THREE bananas. I hope this helps:smile: Jacob san,

Many of them are quite entertaining, and Nodame Cantabile is not an exception. If you are curious, either check it out from NetFlicks or hunt for a bit-torrent with Google to download it. The character Stresseman is a conductor who speaks Japanese with an Italian accent, much like our beloved Fabrizio. I supplement my lessons with fun shows to watch so I can improve my listening comprehension. I'm getting better, and I can pick out more and more from the shows. I also have a long way to go (I'm going through the beginner series now). J-Dorama is short for Japanese Drama, it’s a live action TV show.

What will it be that I am understanding ? This is not meant to be a "wise-guy" type comment, I just don't know. As for the character Stresseman from Nodame Cantabile, I'm completely in the dark.

He's like the character Stresseman from Nodame Cantabile. Great show if you like slapstick and classical music, BTW. :hachimaki: Listening to Fabrizio will help understand certain J-Doramas.

Is there a way to maybe tone him down a bit. I may be all wet but he appears to detract from learning the proper inflection and speech patterns of the Japanese Language. Thanks for listening.

lizさん、one of the biggest current events stories at the moment… 怖いですね！

＞how about making them use language appropriate to the lesson to which they are attached?

philさん、this issue is actually being addressed as you read this. :cool:

＞I like the intros :lol: and i think the staff likes to do it, to entertain themselves at least…

クリスさん、yup, they are mostly inside jokes or sort of “twisting the grammar” as a joke.

and as you said, all the 2008 intros appear in the PDF’s with transcriptions and translations (and if there is enough interest, possible lessons). we’re currently in the process of transcribing the intros from 2007 to include them in the PDF’s (but since they were done improv, we have to transcribe and then go back and translate all of them before creating new PDF’s.)
