					<description>Hello,

And thanks for an excellent series. The only thing that I find a bit inconsistent with the website materials is that in the vocabulary list the actual onomatopoetic words can seldom be found. Aren´t those the most likely words from this series that everybody will want to study?

					<description>Raichuさん,
Thank you for your nice comments! We're really glad to hear that you enjoyed this Onomatopoeia series :smile:
And thank you also for your idea for a series! There are a lot of words that are so similar in Japanese (like the ones you mentioned), so I think it's a great idea! Adding to the idea bank now :mrgreen:</description>

					<description>Sorry I forgot to mention. I have an idea for a future series you could do... 類語 and 同義語.

Japanese, like English, is very rich in synonyms that can express subtly shades of meaning, but it is often so hard to know the right word. A few examples:
-- I got corrected for saying けれども when しかし would have been better. There are many similar words: ただし, でも...
-- When should I say ひと, かた or もの?
-- What is the difference between やっと, ついに, いよいよ, 結局, とうとう?
-- Are 両親 and 父母 interchangeable?
It is so confusing for a learner. I think a series from 101 would be of great help!</description>

					<description>Thank you for this series. As well as being educational, yes, it really was fun! Of course there are so many more gitaigo and giongo to learn, but I think this series was a good start.

Naomi, Natsuko and Sakura, thank you so much for your clear and understandable speech. Usually I have trouble understanding Japanese native speakers. (BTW English speakers speaking Japanese are actually easier for me to understand). But how you enunciated the words clearly makes a big difference in getting used to listening to Japanese speech.</description>

					<description>Haha, this lesson was great! The first one I've listened to, and I really enjoyed it. i especially like how the conversation is replayed right at the end, so you understand far more. And the light banter between the senseis is great.</description>
