Beginner series season 4 and 5 have similar lesson style as Newbie season 2 and 3. So please check those series too.

Hi,
This is my first comment, I think newbie season 2 and 3 were great and I expect to be learning much more in the future.
About the question, well I haven´t been to 成田空港 but hope to be there sometime.

Yes. You need to know both Hiragana and Katakata.
The difference between those two is explained in here.

We also have a Hiragana/Katakana chart and video in the learning center.

I hope this information helps. Good luck on your studying.

i’m new here….as I was reading the PDF i was looking at the japanese writing and i noticed that it looks like some words are written in kana and some in hiragana…when studying the written form i guess it’s a must to know both rigth?

Kale Nagasaki-san,
I guess the man asked the clock to start! So, he said “onegaishimasu!”

Ahah, I love Eric.
I was watching a Japanese game show and, in place of the english word “Go!”, the man said “onegaishimasu!” and the clock started. I thought it was interesting. :3

Congratulation on the achievements and the improvements.

I hope also that season 4 will be free of the annoying “take a listen” expression!

Entry from The Dimwit’s Dictionary — Second Edition:

“have (take) a listen An infantile phrase (SEE). listen. As inane as it is insulting, have (take) a listen obviously says nothing that listen alone does not. Journalists and media personalities who use this offensive phrase ought to be silenced; businesspeople, dismissed; public officials, pilloried.”

The new series file names are confusing ….

Can we have computer file names that makes the new series easier to find, especially when the three digit number at the start of the file has already been used for another lesson ?

Newbie Series 4 Lesson 1 - 666…..mp3
Upper Int. Lesson 2 - 666….mp3

I suggest that the series number go before the lesson type letters.
E.G. 795-4NB1-(….).mp3
