Personally, even the way it was was nice. I think it's good for lower-level students to get experience listening to natural speech like that. Even if they don't understand much of it, the more they listen, the more they'll get, which is useful practice and a good feeling. Just my opinion. Thanks much for the nice lessons.

Just a quick question. You said "hisashiburi news yattenai desu ne" and got some chuckles from Naomi-sensei. I think you meant to say "shibaraku" instead of "hisashiburi". But as a student of Japanese I can't be sure. :wink: Perhaps this grammar point could be picked up in a future lesson? :roll: Thanks for all of the great lessons!:dogeza: Hi Peter.
