Oh my gosh, this was the first bad lesson I came across on jap. pod 101.
Way too long for the information it contained…

“The problem is we all get bigger during the holiday season”
“Yeaaaaaaaa… we all do.”

hi team… i downloaded the lesson notes but its blank. Only the lite has something on it. why is it this way?

maxiewawa says:

Deadbard, you’ll need the latest Adobe Reader to view the Lesson Notes. It’s at www.adobe.com .

You’re not missing out on anything except functionality though; you’ll be able to copy/paste text with the full, Adobe Reader version, and jump to bookmarked pages, but that’s all.
