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.

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

PS. What kind of things is this guy in the intro collecting? This girl needs to be careful!

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.
