One has to start somewhere. Thank you again for all the great explanations!

I have all these books like "Understanding Particles" and "Particles Workbook". They just don't explain particles on a level that is easy to understand. I can not thank you all enough for making a section on particles. I am listening to the podcast and then reading the notes and getting all the questions right on the first try! You all know how to teach! Thanks again! Hi,

We spell out “would like to get good at it ..” as "うまくなりたい." The second one is "上手になりたいでしょうね." It express that Naomi-sensei understands jessie-san's feeling. I hope this helps. 日本語の勉強、これからもがんばって下さいね。 chris san,

So here is my latest question Jessie says in relation to her cooking that she "would like to get good at it .."うまくなりたい” Is that the correct hiragana ? AND I imagine that I can use that phrase generally. So . Namoi replies ..."じょうずなりたいでしよね” so is that like "you will improve I am sure" Kanji 上手 ? right 毎日、毎日、勉強しています、：） 皆さん, 本当に、ありがとうございます カト先生、

ありがとうございます！

I have never seen the kanji used. Try searching in hiragana! :) Chrisさん,

(Rikaichan and ALC has this word.) I'm not in charge of Jpod dictionary project, but I believe that our word bank has only the vocabulary which already appeared in the Japanesepod101 lessons. So it's a bit different from a regular dictionary..:sad: chris-san

Do you ever use the word 愚図愚図 ぐずぐず My Tagaini Jisho has it but　 J101 dict / GOOGLE TRANSLATE / Denshi Jisho on line do not have this word. Thus I would assume that it is uncommon. ごめんえ　 なおみ先生、
One further question for your Monday morning.

Do you ever use the word 愚図愚図 ぐずぐず

My Tagaini Jisho has it but　 J101 dict / GOOGLE TRANSLATE / Denshi Jisho on line

do not have this word. Thus I would assume that it is uncommon.

ごめんえ

It doesn't necessary mean Cairo university. It could be other university located in Cairo. ●　カイロ大学 [ Kairo daigaku ] is "Cairo university" and it's a proper noun. I hope this make sense.:wink: wael -san

That is the most natural sounding way to use it :smile: Tessさん,
