Unagi are great……………………………………………….. for eating!

As for your question, if these unagi are like the staff of JapanesePod, they’ll probably go hang out at a maid cafe and say 萌え a lot.

Great story idea!

I love unagi too !!! It’s delicious ! That’s why I’m a bit worried about Unakichi’s family: they all went to Japan, but did they ever come back ???

Maybe they found jobs at a sushi restaurant …

They better not come to Hiroshima, or I will eat them 　Maybe the unagi will do some ナンパ、and japanese 101.com can give us a ナンパ lesson
去年の１０月に聞き始めた。でも、最初から、beginner lessonをしています。まだ１２０番ぐらいできました。

Peter upgraded to sensei? That conversation is so hilarious.

It sounded like you really put the voice actors under water!

I never tried unagi before, but they sound so cute, I don’t think I can eat them now.

hello there , funny lesson today
i wonder what a male unagi thinks when he sees a very succulent unagi female
oishisoo ?

I don’t like the commercials in 2 places in the podcast. I like to listen to Jpod while I’m out and about, but if I have to start fiddling around in the middle to fast forward over a 2nd commercial, I’ll just stop putting the podcasts on my ipod.

It’s bad enough that there’s no way to avoid the advertisements on the main page and that new people don’t know there’s anything else hiding behind the ads, but two ads for some annoying other company is bad.

From the very beginning I enjoyed almost every lesson of japanesepod101, but I must agree with “frustrated”. Please let it not become a habit. Commercials in the middle of a lesson are very disturbing if you want to replay a passage.

Thanks for the lovely song “medaka no gakkou”.
I found the lyrics somewhere on the web.
It would be nice if someone could translate it or even better if japanesepod could do a (culture) lesson on japanese children songs.

めだかの学校 (A school of killifish)

めだかの学校は　川の中
そっとのぞいて　みてごらん
そっとのぞいて　みてごらん
みんなでおゆうぎ　しているよ

めだかの学校の　めだかたち
だれがせいとか　せんせいか
だれがせいとか　せんせいか
みんなで元気に　遊んでる

めだかの学校は　うれしそう
みずに流れて　つーいつい
みずに流れて　つーいつい
みんながそろって　つーいつい

Thank you for the reply and the information, Japanesepod101 person. It saves me from having to try to edit the file in Garageband.

For the record, I never minded the sponsor announcements for Airclarin (or however it was spelled) in the early days. You need to make money and something brief and tasteful is understandable. It’s just that other annoying company has ruined many podcasts by insisting (apparently based on the empiric evidence) that their long winded sponsorships appear at the beginning and in the middle of podcasts. I have stopped subscribing to some podcasts because of the intrusive “sponsorship announcements” by that company.

Although I’m not a paid member just now I have recommended this podcast and Spanishpod101 to many people. I have all episodes from the very beginning. I hope to keep listening. Thanks.

Seems to me if you’re not a paid subscriber, you can’t really complain too much about an ad. I mean, it’s not like you’re paying to support their hard work.

But I’m definitely glad to hear the ad is not permanent because you are right about the ad in the middle of the lesson… that was annoying.

I agree with Steve that freeloaders hardly have the right to complain, and the fact that his first contribution to the site is about something like this speaks volumes

Putting advertisements mid-lesson is only going to frustrate people, which probably makes the lessons less effective, so maybe this company should rethink its marketing strategy. The short messages at the start and end of the lessons before were much more tasteful and to the point.
