Mina-san, 本当にお疲れ様です!
There were some really interesting words in this dialect. Of course, we’re not trying to teach you to be fluent in any dialect, but at least you can get some words to impress your friends or use when you visit Niigata.

I still find the sound of it veeeery funny…. but I love those dialect lessons !
On a completely different subject, looks like GermanPod is up and running !!!! Thanks guys !!!

ALERT
Downloaded audio cuts off in the middle of the lesson.
Thursday at 6:24 am
I do conferm. The mp3 stops after しゃっつける
Thursday at 6:26 am
Furthermore there is no intro attached
Thursday at 9:18 am
It cut off for me too (I assumed it was IE glitching up as usual), so I’ll try again now after clearing my cache.
I suppose this is the last we’ll hear of Rie-san, but hopefully the tradition of great dialect gals continues in the future
Thursday at 9:43 am
strange, it was working yesterday at 6 pm tokyo time, i’ll have it fixed in a few hours, hold tight guys! sorry for the inconvenience!
申し訳ねぇ!
Thursday at 10:35 am
hey guys!
still not sure what happened there, but should be working fine. it will show up as a new file in iTunes and you can just delete the old one♪
Thursday at 11:09 am
Yes, I was wondering why there were two. Thanks for fixing it Marky.
Thursday at 11:49 am
Much better the second time around!
Thursday at 12:00 pm
Is it just me or do all the dialect girls sound smokin’ hot?
And super cool?
Thursday at 12:13 pm
PS. What kind of things is this guy in the intro collecting? This girl needs to be careful!
Thursday at 12:22 pm
I was thinking the same thing. This guy sounds like a creep.
He probably collects panties. No seriously. It happens over here.

By the way, I live in Okayama. Any plans on covering the Okayama Dialect?
I heard it has a bad reputation in Japan.
Thursday at 12:34 pm
Thank you guys!!
I was trying really hard to be creepy.
最高の賛辞でございます。
So stay tuned to find out his secret!
Thursday at 2:40 pm
What do you mean stay tuned? Is the intro a series?
Thursday at 2:58 pm
クリマスバーガーさん
Yes it is. and it is going to be a long one.
Thursday at 4:35 pm
