Honestly, Peter, you sound so good on the radio. I speak Japanese but listen to your blog because you do such a great job facilitating…as does さくら様。 Thanks for doing this. You just sound hot, Peter!

By the way, if anyone is going to Osaka, you might like to try okonomiyaki (a Japanese thick pancake with bits of meat and lots of cabbage)! It’s very goo
You can see the picture of it here>>>

Hmm. This page hasn’t been updated in a while. Am I mistaken? I’m sure we had more geographic locations than this to date. Also a suggestion, can we have a map included on the blog, highlighting the particular city of the day? Visual aids rock. May I suggest something like http://www.jnto.go.jp/eng/map/index_map.html or a link to it would suffice? I really like the Kanji of the day that has been added to the site. Keep up the good work as always

Athara-san! Thank you for posting! Yes, the blog hasn’t been updated in a while, instead we’ve put putting the locations into the lesson comments. Please check the last three lessons.
The blog we’ll be coming back very soon, but this week we’ve been working on hard on Friday’s video edition of Japanesepod101.com! Yep, video is coming back and better than ever.
Thank you for introducing that map! We’re actually working on one, but I absolutely loved that map! You’re definately right, visual aids rock, and we were able to get one of the best graphics guys around to join our team! He has a lot work cut out for him, but check out some early results

Has anyone noticed that while their Japanese is improving that their English is taking on more of a New York accent?
Thanks Peter! Your show is the best! Arigatou Gozaimashte!!!
