Vocab you can use to make sense of the news! I’ve been looking forward to stuff like this.

Thanks for this great lesson guys. Will test it out by listening to the weather on the radio and then check to see if I was right by looking at the TV.

It used to confuse me when weather forecasters would end every sentence with でしょう. でしょう is usually used as “isn’t it” or “right?”. そうでしょう? So it would always feel like the forecasters were asking my opinion on their forecast, which was totally weird.

A long time ago there was a beginner lesson about a guy obsessed about the tenki-oneesan ( sorry about the ugly romaji… No japanese keyboard on this computer…)
I completely agree that we need more lessons about news and newscast vocabulary. Onegai !!!

This is the first lesson that didn’t automatically load to my ipod.
I wonder why?

FYI, watching television close up does not hurt your eyes, or zap you with radiation. No worries mate!

仁居流さん、
「ただし」 can be used in conversation as well. It slightly sounds more strict than using でも.
Kid: 外に遊びに行っていい?(Can I go out play?)
Mother: いいわよ。ただし、お昼ご飯食べてからよ。 (OK. But it’s after lunch. )

Whenever I listen to the Japanese weather forecast I’m always startled by the references to “zenkoku de” which reminds me of the relatively small area of land they are talking about. And I get totally derailed when they refer to the parts of the country. I know Kanto, but I still have to learn the names of the other regions so I won’t get confused.
This has definitely been a helpful lesson.
I get such a kick out of the fun you guys have teasing each other….it makes learning much more natural. Video mo areba iiii neh?
