It was the ultimate, "Oh, you", moment. :lol::lol: I'm sure Haruya-san is a nice guy, but I think I'd be doing the same thing as Tendou-san at this point. ありがとうございます。頑張ってください。も、私は頑張りますね！ Peterさん、直美先生、このレッスンはすごいですよ！ I was really needing a good laugh and Tendou-san’s reaction to Haruya-san was so, so funny.

In today's lesson I find it almost impossible to understand the words spoken by Miu's father and when he does speak it's almost intimidating! I'm very much enjoying the lessons however. Naomi Sensei is a brilliant teacher and her method of constantly repeating words and phrases over and over, and then giving very simple but somewhat similar examples really emphasises the point she is making. And can someone tell me how to get a picture or icon in the box for the posts instead of just having a shadow of a head? Is it just me, or do all Japanese men speak in a truly scary manner?

I've been though a similar situation, so I can empathize with his character. But it is rude to ask for such a huge thing without even properly introducing yourself first--even in America. :roll: ハルヤさん、頑張りますよ。テンドウさん一緒に話して見たい。 JKidさん, I do feel sorry for him.

Lots of fun and very high quality education at the same time. Much better than all the textbooks I've tried studying. I've been looking at some of the older series (such as the very long "Beginner" series), and it's rather obvious that the pdfs have gotten much better over the years since this site has been around.........I hope they'll continue at this high level! I happen to enjoy languages, have studied several, including French, Hebrew (in which I'm fluent), and some Russian. None have been as enjoyable, although the others are all much easier. Thank you Peter, Naomi and everyone else for making it so much fun to study Japanese. Stuart I just wanted to say that I agree with Brian about this being a really terrific series.

He has yet to greet Tendouさん at all. It's amazing how someone's opinion of you can change if you take the time to talk to them and get to know them. He only blurts out, "Please let us get married!" I'm usually for the underdog, but there is a limit... Haruyaさん is too impatient. He has yet to greet Tendouさん at all.
