In Japan, most people pay in cash when purchasing. Which do you prefer, cash or credit cards?

カードが便利だと思いますけど、高い値段だったらよく小切手を使います。
日本には小切手を使う人が多いですか?
I have the feeling checks aren’t used that often in Japan (or in North America for that matter), while I use them rather frequently here. Whenever I spend more than 150-200 euros on something I’d rather use a check than my credit card….

How about a newbie series in which each podcast you deal with just one particle and all the ways that particle can be used.
wa, ga, ni, to, de etc I would find that really helpful.

Losing the functionality of the PDFs after paying for the service is really a pain.

プチクレア san> 日本人はあまり小切手を使いません。I’ve written checks alot when I lived in the states. but in Japan carrying cash is more common.
stephen san> Thank you for your idea!!
David san>PASMOは便利ですね
otoyamaken san> Have you checked the forum where the solution to PDF may be found?
Monday at 12:05 pm
Hiroko san - yes I have. I find Acrobat to be very painful to use, and the Safari plug-in screws up websites that my wife needs to use for work. Even though I uninstalled the plugin, my Safari seems wonky now after the (forced) install. The PDFs were so easy to use in the past, that’s why I paid for them. Now they are ugly and a pain in the neck to use. I’ve had to take the extra time to update Acrobat, and hack their install, to get something less usable. chotto mukatsuku.

Hello otoyamaken-san,
We will have a Preview version of all the PDFs available very soon. Thank you for your patience.

I prefer free things the most. I don’t have much money these days.

バンクカードはとても便利ですね。
banku caado wa totemo benri desu ne.
Bank cards are very useful, aren’t they?
簡易でカード、と安いで現金です。
kani de caado, to yasui de genkin desu.
It’s convenient as a card, and cheap as cash.
In America, we have bank cards that act like Visa or Mastercard, but they are connected to our bank accounts. I don’t have to pay the price of credit, but I can buy things where cash isn’t practical.

Spidey san> I understand
but wouldn’t we rather save up $8/month and have the most fun and useful learning tools than to have free but the contents aren’t so good and valuable?
It makes me make more effort to learn and pay attention to the lessons while when it’s all free, I don’t feel the urge to learn as much
バロンさん>日本でもアメリカでも、それはデビットカード、ですね?
Wednesday at 10:25 pm
Hirokoさん>はい、そうですよ。

みなさん こんばんわ
hello all - guten abend
unlike the u.s., in germany we dont usually have credit cards, most people use so-called eurochecque-cards from their bank. do you have such cards in japan as well? how do you get your salary at all usually?
best wishes

Thomas san> eurochecque-cards from their! Never heard of it!
the company usually put the money directly to the employee’s bank account.

I don’t know how you have made it, but it is the first time that I love to learn numbers
! Actually it is very difficult for me to count in Japanese, but with your lessons I really enjoy it
