Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! People love to tell stories, whether they are completely true or completely made up! Think about how you casually tell someone the events of your day. You might say something as simple as, “I woke up early then I went to work, but I forgot my coffee.” As you can see, talking about events is generally pretty casual, but it does take skill to do it correctly and keep your listeners interested.
In this upper intermediate Japanese lesson, learn even more uses of the Japanese phrase wake da. You’ll master how to put it at the end of a sentence to explain events. In addition, you’ll find out how to use it correctly no matter the circumstance. If learning the right way to speak interesting conversational Japanese is your goal, this is the lesson for you!

こんにちは まゆみさん Do you have any update on being able to edit my “My Feed” settings so that they always include new lesson series?
Friday at 11:03 am
I first heard of 草食男子 in this article
http://www.slate.com/id/2220535/

テッドさん、
I’ll try to see if we have any update on this issue.
Sorry to keep you waiting.

ありがとうございます まゆみさん. It is not urgent, I can still get the lesson notes, they just go to a different folder. I see by all the new products, features, and new language that everyone at Japanesepod 101 is very busy.

ありがとう!
結末は良いけど。。。もうちょうと男の言わり方が欲しい。
The conclusion was good,but having it also said in a male fashion would be better. How about some balance for the guys?
One more (small) request: Would you note whether the all kanji used in all lessons is on the Jyo-yo list?
It’d also be great if you could note which kanji are likely to be on each level of the JLPT.
Jōyō kanji are those on a list of 1945 characters.
Just some requests, right?

Haha, I was expecting a fight between the two girls! But it was a good ending too!
And Naomi-sensei,
I didn’t know Peter is a 部長! That kinda surprised me.

今日は前にポストをきてくれたのは長い間すみません。
何か聞きたいことがあります。
びみょうって、いろんな意味が付けってるかも知りません。
そのうちに悪い意味や良い意味がありますか?
例一
うわ~びっくりしたびみょうな言葉をわかっている。
例二
あの人の服は超びみょうだ
例三
あの映画びみょうだった。
どれが良いですか?
そのびみょうの使い方法は同じですか?
私には礼一に悪い感じはしないがほかのは悪かったのでま~悪いと思ってきました。
だまされるきぶんかな~?と考え込んでしました。
私は草食けい男子かも知りません。女性に対してやさしいかもしらない
けれどもスポーツで負けたくないしなら肉体男性になりますか?
僕の下手日本語からごめんなさい。
よろしくおねがいします。

Hi,
I thought this lesson was great, and I especially thought the hosts were superb, with great voices and clear professional explanations, while still keeping it light in tone.
I`ve gone through it a few times now and feel comfortable with the content and also picked up some nice phrase from the native speking host, such as ” 男の立場からすると。。。” etc…
Thanks.
Abbass.

日本語でコメントを書いてくださり、ありがとうございました。
「微妙」は色々な意味があります。Lower IntermediateS4L12で、詳しく説明していますので、是非、聞いてください。
Thank you for putting comments and questions in Japanese!
The usage of the word 微妙 is explained in Lower Intermediate Series Season 4 , Lesson 12 - What Did You Expect? So please check out that lesson too.
Clienadさん の例文は2と3は大丈夫ですが、1は、
“びみょうな言葉をわかっている。”
→The meaning of びみょうな言葉 isn’t very clear from the context. So, maybe びみょうな言葉の違い is better.
>>けれどもスポーツで負けたくないしなら肉体男性になりますか?
うーん。スポーツには普通使わないですね。
肉食系・草食系 は 今は恋愛のことに使いますね。
Abbassーsan
ありがとうございます!!
