This should be taken with a " grain of salt". The reporter is relying on a memory that now exceeds 77 years.

Over the years the expression has mutated to mean almost any left-handed activity and / or left-handed person. This explanation of Southpaw was given to me over 60 years ago as a youngster, an extremely avid baseball fan.

Sounded very yakuza to me. BTW - they are writing the intro scripts in the PDF these days. I think it's great, the intros really challenge me hurry up and progress so one day I don't have to read the PDF. Still have a little bit of work to do! :hachimaki: I could understand 50% or more of it. Sounded very yakuza to me. BTW - they are writing the intro scripts in the PDF these days.

ジャービジさん、

While boxing adopted southpaw, it is definitely still used for baseball. In fact, with boxing’s decline in popularity, I’m sure it’s used more often in baseball settings.

Also, I think you’re safe going with なおみさん’s pronunciation.

On page 4, under positional word examples it says 椅子の上, and next to that is says in hiragana いすのした and the english translation says under the chair. The kanji should read: 椅子の下。 Otherwise, another great lesson. I noticed a small error in the lesson’s pdf.
