Konnichi wa Mina-san, How about practicing the -te form of verbs in your comments?

私はいつもJapanesePod101の授業を聞いてしながらPDF読んでいます。 それからまた後で話しながら新し言葉いっぱい使っています。
While listening to JapanesePod101’s lessons I always read the PDF. The I use new words in conversations.
Did I make any mistakes?
Thank you for your help.

I think nagara means “while doing something, I’m doing another different thing”, so I would rather use “toki” in the second sentence.

There’s is nothing like て form review at 1am!

yeah I’d say: ” japanesepod101 no jigyou wo kikinagara PDF wo yondeimasu. sosite hanasu TO KI ni, TA KU SA N no atarasii kotoba tukatteimasu ”
or something. because i guess you’re trying to say that you’re doing those two things simultaneously.

皆さん、こんにちは。

Alain, JKid, Eugene, and Naomi,
Thank you for your kind advice. I’m really glad you could follow my Japanese. Tow of my recent favorite words and phrases come from Peter. He was telling about his favorite 新語流行語大賞 / New Word and Buzzword-of-the-Year Grand Prix.
K-Y (kuki – yomenai) = Not understanding the situation
And
ルネサンス = Renaissance! This is said as “CHEERS” when drinking. I also use it in my English classes to wake up my students.
Try using:
K-Y or ルネサンス
You’ll get some great reactions.

There is a small mistake in the romaji in the grammar section (the English is correct):
すみません。長谷寺に行きたいです。行き方を教えてください。
[Sumimasen. Kamakura ni ikitai desu. Ikikata o oshietekudasai.]
Excuse me. I want to go to the Hasedera temple. Can you tell me how to get there?
長谷寺 == Hasedera
Also, did you purposefully use 行きたいです instead of 行きたいんですが here? I would have used the latter form.
宜しくお願いします。

Hajime-san
Thank you so much!!
I’ll fix it right away.
>>did you purposefully use 行きたいです instead of 行きたいんですが here?
Yes. Because we haven’t introduced んです grammar in the Beginner Season 4 series.

Hajime-san
