You have no idea how much I want to drink a glass of good cold milk while listening to this episode of podcast riding in hell-like hot buss under summer sun...
Thanks for your explanation.❤️
私はあなたのポッドキャストが大好きです。保管してください。I like your conversational lessons . keep it up.
Would it be wierd to use Dai-ski instead of ski-ski. or is that just used for people?
hi! what about " gomenkudasai"? is it still informal? ( I'm totally new to Japanese 😅)
Fantastic podcast! I know some words and phrases here and there, but have not studied Japanese formally in any capacity so hearing how the phrases are broken down and some nuances is helpful. Sometimes it is a little fast for me and I don't retain some words or phrases after the episode, so it's nice to be able to reference just the dialogue. Can't tell how much I should remember after each one, so I'll see if it would be better after looking at supplemental materials. Thank you for continuing to create episodes and organizing them well!
Listening to this while I cruise around in Dump Truck 🚛 in the South West of Western Australia (Dunsborough). Really Cool voices and easy to follow along. Thanks guys, keep it up 👊
Amid all the verbiage, I didnt find the most straightforward word for yamitski.. addicted.
