More of this please for upper intermediate! I have a question though, this 'fufu' thing that keeps cropping up now. Is this some sort of office in joke, or do grown men actually say such things? It sounds really odd.. a little, well... disturbing! This one is a little less soul crushingly difficult as the moving in story, and it’s *really* helpful when the dialogue is explained line by line.

Let me start off with restating the below sentences in full Japanese.... 「。。。持ってないと日本人という風に”government”とかから”approve”されないんですね。」 「。。。持ってないと日本人という風に政府とかから承認されないんですね。」 「”officially married”っていうようなニュアンスで使ってると思いますよ。」 「"正式に結婚した・している”っていうようなニュアンスで使ってると思いますよ。」 「すごく”traditional”な日本の習慣というかんじですね。」 「すごく伝統的な日本の習慣という感じですね。」 Totally understand your comment, while I also understand when recording in bilingual sometimes the words get mixed up in our mind and come out in both English & Japanese. But we will definitely take comment like yours seriously, and strive to create "listener friendly" lessons, so I hope you keep giving us your insights!

Exposure to them would have helped me remember them.

There were a few places where English was mixed in with the Japanese explanations, and it was a little frustrating... :cry: Can you say these sentences using Japanese only? 「。。。持ってないと日本人という風に"government"とかから"approve"されないんですね。」 「"officially married"っていうようなニュアンスで使ってると思いますよ。」 「すごく"traditional"な日本の習慣というかんじですね。」 など。 Sorry to be nit-picky...
