Mina-san, nowadays less and less companies in Japan use a seniority-based salary system. How about in your country?

Hi Peter and all the great stuff at the Japanese pod,
I want to share with you one idea. Is it possible to prepare the pdf files in such a way that the Hiragana will appear in a small size just above the Kanji. In the office word you can do that using the Asian Layout ( Format > Asian Layout ).
Hiragan alone is very hard to read and to separate the words.
Thank you.

年功序列制より実力で給料を決めるのは、正しいと思う。

Hello!
“Japanese You’ll Have a Hard Time Believing”
Perhaps is possible find this sentence in Japanese (i don’t know because I’m not taking the course yet”. But in english cannot. The verb “believe” can be used in progressive tense. Your believe or not believe.
Could you tell me more about this expression? Even in english is quite interesting.

That’s the second week in a row you’ve done one I already knew
What’s the future for this series anyway? Did Peter say it was a 12 part series at some point? I’d really like to see it expanded a little, since it seems so much shorter than the other lessons. Maybe 2 四字熟語 and 2 idioms using things like 気

Sami san> Just added your suggestion to our “idea bank”. Thank you!
Eric san> 私も個人的にはそう思います
Germán Lugo san> For example, “I have hard time believing your story” あなたの 話は あまり 信用できない。
“Japanese You’ll Have a Hard Time Believing” “You’ll Have a Hard Time Believing” is explaining “Japanese”.
ジャービジ san>すごいですね!!
もっと難しいチャレンジが必要なんですね

年功序列とが分かっていましたけど四字熟語といわれるのがわかりませんでした。
本当にレッソン25が終わり?残念

In the notes of the actual podcast, instead of 半信半疑 it has 疑心暗鬼. Perhaps that’s next weeks?
