Mina-san, Fabrizio isn’t feeling very well so his voice sounds a little strange in this lesson. When he’s feeling better, we’ll update these audio files!

only listened to the dialogue and was quite relived to not hear fabrizo’s voice!

No need to update his voice…just let be. You all can come out with a lesson that he is sick with his sick voice.

The position of the counter changes the meaning of the sentence doesn’t it?

ウェーターが4人ある。There are four (random) waiters.
4人のウェーターがある。There are *the* four waiters (that I mentioned before/have some sort of significance as a group).

He does sound a bit too flamboyant to be sober usually, maybe Minami should try buying him a beer before he starts counting the grains in her rice balls

I agree with Bob1-san…

This restaurant is too suspicious. Maybe it’s just the front for a yakuza’s headquarter.

Let’s wait and see…

I can’t seem to figure out how to download the intro from my I tunes! Does any one know?

You are right! Great explanation! Thanks.

Actually, the stereotype of Ramen place owners are tough looking and look like Yakuza members.
