Mina-san, do you have bakajikara?

Unfortunately not… I probably have ばかり弱さ instead…

waterman - Sorry for the broken PDF link. The issue is now resolved.

Minna san konnichiwa!

I can’t get the audio in Itunes, is anybody else experiencing the same problem?

Arigatou gozaimasu!

What’s with doing the Learning Center’s quizzes only in Japanese characters with no romanji. Folks, I would like to remind everyone that there are some out here that aren’t too advanced. This is also “Newbie”, not more advanced levels. The way the quizzes are done for this lesson makes the quizzes useless to me. Please give us both forms. Thanks

Instead of complaining about broken things (because I’m too cheap to actually be a member yet anyways, so I can’t get into the learning center,) I’d just like to add a goofy little anecdote:

Whenever I surprise my Japanese teacher, she exclaims with a half uwe/wow hybrid of “uWOW! Sugoi!”

I guess it’s funnier if you hear it.

Capt. Strugglebunny-san, “Haha!” That’s a good one! I love hybrid languages! I wonder if others have funny examples like that?

Back to complaining, the video vocab no longer opens up in a new window of the broweser, which I liked. Now, it wants to be opened in iTunes or saved to the desk top. These are not convenient. I like the old way better. But, hey! - thanks for all you do. I love all the features of JPOD. In fact, there are so many I can’t really use it all! But, it’s all there waiting for me when I want it!

Bakajikara - what a word and explanation! It’s because of things like this that I still listen to newbie lessons when they come out, even though I’ve progressed past this point.

Thanks again to all at JPod101 for your work.
