ありがとう　ござうます

That was a great lesson in that there was quite a lot of stuff which I couldn’t understand when I heard the dialogue for the first time. 勉強になってありがとうございます。

Just a suggestion but it would be nice if you could do a one or two upper intermediate ‘news’ lessons. I watch the news a couple of times a day and while my listening has improved a lot I often get stuck on new vocabularly and the polite speech throws me off occasionally too.

One which covers financial issues or police investigations would be great as such stories seem to pop up more than most. A healthy list of vocab to go with it in the pdf would be really valuable too. Anyway, just a suggestion. Back to reviewing this week’s lesson.

Hmmm don’t you think that the sentences that are translated are too long? My English is too poor to say it properly. I mean that when you try to remember whole part you forget the beginning when the translation finally comes in. Maybe it’s just because my level is too low for this…

このレッシンは大変大切と面白かった。ありがとう！！！

スピーチをする前とスピーチを終えた後には、必ずお辞儀は必要です。
「ご紹介に預かりました・・・」の部分ではお辞儀はあまりしないと思います。
人にもよりますし、話す内容にもよりますが、基本的にスピーチが始まってしまったら、お辞儀は特に必要ないと思いますよ。

To ナオミ先生、ナツコ先生 and Anthony and to the JPOD 101 staff,

I’ve been listening to JPod lessons since January and it’s really helped my Japanese and my attitude towards studying. I’m extremely shy and not so confident in my Japanese abilities so I tend to avoid speaking in Japanese in front of other people, if that makes any sense… but listening to both the conversation part of the lesson and to the interaction between the senseis somehow has made me more comfortable and confident…so thank you guys so much! you make learning fun and take a lot of the pressure that comes from trying to learn a foreign language.

本当にどうもありがとうございました。日本語が上手になるように頑張ります。これからも、よろしくお願いします。
