Tarkonis-san,
Thank you for your feedback! In our Kanji Video Lesson series, which we have started from this year, we talk about the stroke order.

Any views on this?

Hi Jpod!

I have just started your lessons they are very good, but when I come to learn the kanji you do not include the correct stroke order. I was lead to believe that this is an essential part of kanji learning and was wondering if there is another section I missed that includes the stroke order, or is this just a big oversight on your part.

Thanks.

JPod101 Team great lesson as always. I also started from the beginning and was resigned to the fact I’d never catch up. I’m very happy that the lessons will progress in a linear fashion with season 4.

My experience with meeting my Japanese girlfriend’s (now my wife) parents was very positive. They’ve always treated me very kindly and like one of the family. Everyone is so shocked that my wife’s Father treats me so good!

First time I came to Japan 4 years ago to meet the parents we went to an onsen in Nagano (my first experience). I had only known my wife’s Dad less than 12 hours and we were naked in an onsen! At that point I didn’t know much Japanese and he doesn’t know any English. Was a little awkward at first but easier now that I can speak Japanese a bit more.

I struggled to get to Beginner 130, but I’m feeling totally lost! It’s great to come back to the beginning and “revise”. It’s amazing how much stuff you find you know but didn'’t realise you knew! Does that make sense?
Was it this lesson that talked about the pronunciation of the word “water” in katakana? Perhaps only Americans have that trouble, of trying not to say the strong “r” sound. We Aussies say “wata” anyway!!!!

I happened to be involved in a meeting last week with some Japanese businessmen so this was a timely refresher on introductions. A lesson sometime on how to properly exchange meishi could be helpful.

Thanks,

It’s taken me a long time to respond…

でも、新たなチャンスでうれしいです。一念発起して、日本語勉強し。読書は一寸難しいですね。

If it wasn’t for the kanji input method with my computer, I couldn’t have written the above sentences. 頑張りましょう。　　よろしくお願いいたします。
