I wouldn't for sure take this job if I were him. :roll: Mina-san, in Japanese, the expression "His wife wears the pants" is <i>Kakaa Tenka</i>.

Naomi-sensei and Mayumi-sensei have really gotten this level under control! There are some really great things coming up! :grin: Mel and 学長...懐かしいな～。Not sure if Naomi-sensei and Mayumi-sensei even know of Mel and 学長. We'll have to introduce them, and maybe it's time for a reunion episode. :wink: Thanks for the feedback! AndamanIslander-san and ジャービジさん, that is great to hear!

The dialog was quite hard, but the explanation exceptionally clear, so by the time the dialog repeated at the end of the audio file I could follow all of it: awesome! Can't help but feel that was an awfully "serious" series, though...pretty please, can we have some wacky characters in the next one?! Just for old times sake, I'd love to hear what happened to Mel and 学長 after they got out of that Okinawan jail. It's been two and a half years now, you'd think they'd be let out by now!
