Hi everybody,
I've been listening to the podcasts for a few weeks now. And I haven't been so hooked to learning a new language for years. The thing with the podcasts is that everybody's so enthousiastic about teaching the japanese language. Plus, there are really funny moments that make learning much more enjoyable.
I thought I'd post some funny moments listening to the podcasts. It's kinda subjective so here's some potential spoilers:
Beginner Lesson #31:
When Peter says telling time is so useful, and how we talk about time every single day. And goes on to suggest: for practice go around in Japan asking the time 20 times a day.
Beginner Lesson #24:
When Peter demonstrates the logic behind counting and how to say your age in japanese (21 years old, 22 yrs, 23 yrs etc). So the team counts from 11 to 29. Then on 29 Peter says, you only need to learn to count up to 29 because in Japan, no one is ever over: (Sakura and Natsuko responding in unison): ni-ju kyu.
Beginner Lesson #16:
When they talk about a common cold in Japan that lingers. Then Peter talks about this very popular term (kasagimi: common cold that lingers): because the germs in Japan are very sugoi.
Off the top of head, those are some of the really funny stuff you can find in the podcasts.
I'll post more as I advance in the lessons.
Lloyd
