I have to agree with Ericさん ! ![]()
Monday has become the best day of the week, and those 四字熟語 lessons are great !
Jpodの皆さん、いつも有り難うございます!
Great lesson as usual! I really liked the second phrase–I can now perfectly decribe how I feel when trying to keep up with my lessons @ work. Shhh don’ t tell my boss!
質問があります!
I’ve never really thought about it before, but is 一生懸命 also a 四字熟語 ?
When I try to do something for the first time or when I get into difficult situation, 右往左往しまくりです。。
プチクレアさん
さすがですね!
“一生懸命”も四字熟語ですよ!
プチクレアさん、
yes it is!!
and there is a variant spelling (which i prefer) 一所懸命
I really love these lessons!!! ![]()
But would it be possible to get an option to add the words to the word bank? That would make it even better!
