The quality of both upper and lower intermediate lessons is clearly much improved from say a year ago. The lessons are much more in depth with many more examples and analysis and very few, if any, typographic errors.

I think that I have listened to every Japanesepod 101 lesson since day one and agree that the quality is constantly improving. I happened to listen to a really old lesson the other day, what a difference.
And while I would never advocating not trying anything new, to me the value of lessons in today’s format (Dialog, vocabulary, grammar) is much higher than “Survival Phrases” and “All About” series. I am hoping that at the start of nest year you go back to a schedule like “Newbie”, “Beginner”, “Lower Intermediate”, and “Upper Intermediate” in today’s format(Dialog, vocabulary, grammar), with the 5th day being something different like “Audio Blog”, “Video” or “Onomatopoeia”. A while back you had a season where Saturdays had a premium lesson, I thought that was really good and provided some extra value for subscribers.
I think it is great that across the spectrum from “Newbie” to “Upper Intermediate” the balance from English to Japanese explanation shifts, but I have to admit that I miss most of the explanations in “upper intermediate”. I would suggest that in the “newbie” lessons any common phrase be repeated in both English and Japanese (like “once again slowly” or “once again with English”) so people are learning that as well. By building up more and more of the explanations in both English and Japanese (particularly in the Beginner and Lower Intermediate lessons) and doing that repeatedly, I think I would have a better chance to improve that understanding over time).
Anyways, thanks for a great product and all the hard work. I really appreciate it.

2点をさしたいんですけど、
Anthonyさんのように日本語を話したい!アメリカ人なのに、母語話者のようですね。僕の日本語はまだまだですが、Anthonyさん、何かアドバイスを出していただけないでしょうか?
で、アメリカでの「腹」を使ってる表現はあまりないと思います。僕の知ってる限りで、「You’ve got guts!」とか「Gut instinct」などの表現しかないんです。やっぱり、異文化似ると特殊なことがありますよね。

This sentence is interesting:
Anata ga, kaisha to tatakau aida, watashi ga anata o yashinau
kara ne!
I’d interpreted it as the wife providing moral support to the husband. Later on that day I used the word Yashinau in a supportive context and my wife pointed out that my usage was wrong as ‘Yashinau’ is only used in terms of finacial support etc.
So, in this case was the wife offering to support her husband financially?

I must admit I have struggled with the upper intermediate lessons! I dont now how much of it i can remember, vocabulary wise but with time, the vocabulary, grammar and review tracks it is becoming easier to keep the vocabulary in.
grammar is getting better thats for sure.
I remember the episode from the old intermediate series on environemental issues #61 Destruction Of Nature I listen to it now and I still havent got a clue. LOL oh well! In one ear and out the other eh!
I can now understand many of Marky’s mental intros! He needs to put that fight between the Yamamba and Gyaru back on! I nearly wet myself when I listened to that one the first time!
Anyhow as people were giving their oppinons I thought I should add my 2 pennys worth.
p.s
What in the world is the Download Premium Learning Center button there for in this lesson. it doesn’t do anything! It just buffers for infinity!

私の国では to slog your guts outと言う表現があります。
To work very hard/Work till exhaustedを意味します。

Allain-san,
ありがとうございます!
clienad-san,
The intermediate #61 Destruction Of Nature was really tough.

このUpper Intermediateのレッソンは凄く役に立ちます、
英語ばかり使われている環境の中で住んでいる私にとってはスッゴクいい勉強になっています、いつも面白い内容のレッソンを出してくれてありがとう!
前のレッソンに紹介した手や足を使った表現が面白かった、
JapanesePod101の長所の一つは教科書に違って、次どんな会話が出てくるか全く想像つかないので、次回のレッソンをわくわくして待ちます。
これからもJapanesePod101と共に日本語を勉強したいと思います。
よろしくお願いします。

とってもわかりやすいですね。
empty stomach で思いついたのですが、
Happiness rarely keeps company with an empty stomach. というのが
日本語のことわざとして紹介されているのを見たのですがこれは日本語のどの諺にあたるかご存知でしょうか。
これも腹がでてくる諺なのでしょうか??
初めて書き込むので場違いな質問でしたら
すみません。。
Thursday at 1:26 pm
Kokoro-san,
いえいえ、大丈夫ですよ。
英語の訳から日本語のことわざを探すのは難しいですが、たぶん「腹が減ると腹が立つ」ではないでしょうか。
直訳だとWhen you/I get hungry, you/I get angry.になりますが、
A empty stomach doesn’t make you happy.
->Happiness rarely keeps company with an empty stomach. となるのではないかと思います。
I hope this helps.
