Learn Japanese on Your Own Terms at JapanesePod101.com! This week we have another patient visiting another doctor. At first the doctor thinks the problem is sōutsu (manic depression), but later he seems more like shinkishō (hypochondria). Our grammar point is using kurai/gurai. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!

Mina-san, I think the doctor misdiagnosed this patient. What do you think?
Wow. I want some of what he had!
Nice needle scratch… the comedy here kills me! Ha ha ha ha
Jpod101の皆様へ、
相変わらず素晴らしいレッスン有り難うございます!
お医者さんの話はとても興味深いと思います!診察の時に利用される単語をもう少し教えてください。
このレッスンの大好きなセリフは「まあ人によっていろいろ」。必ず覚えてみますよ!便利ですからね
ナオミ先生、私の指先も時々痺れます。重くないけど、本当に不快間ですよね。。。
I suppose the mental health tango will be helpful for those of us going bonkers trying to learn Japanese.
Thanks for a great and useful lesson! One suggestion…if the example sentence of the grammar point from the dialougue is in your opinion “not a good example” could you maybe add another one? I understand there might be others in the pdf but it is great to hear them and have you guys discuss them a little more.
このシリーズに出て来るようなお医者さんばっかりだったら病院に行くのも安心できないんでしょうね。ヘヘへ。いつものように面白いレッスンでした。そしてユイチさん、レッスン出演、もう一回おめでとう!!
i wonder where Naomi sensei would send you for a toothache ?
One quick question:
細かいことなんですけど、文法のポイントでは「くらい」の例文が書いてあるんじゃないですか。
2番目ですね、水も飲めないぐらい、のどが痛いっという例文が書いてあります。英語なら、「I had a sore throat so terrible that I couldn’t drink a water」ですね。でも、この場合は過去形じゃなくて、今のどが痛いので、「My throat hurts so much that I can’t even drink water」だったらどうでしょうか。
