Learn Japanese from other listeners of JapanesePod101.com!!
Today we want to thank Minty Fresh-san and Frank-san from Canada for providing two great learning resources!

Minty Fresh-san provided us with this hilarious video! I didn’t know if they were serious or not, until half way through. Very, very funny! (first video)

    The Video on eating Sushi was really funny…Doumo Arigatou Gozaimasu. I wonder how many people you could fool into thinking it was real :mrgreen:

  2. avatar Peter Says:

    Yeah, that video was hilarious! I swear I have seen ones just like it, but meant to be serious! It wasn’t until they use the white towel to clean the sushi tray that I knew for sure!

    To the topic of Japanese videos, a great deal of videos can be found entering “morning musume” to http://video.google.com
    Somebody’s told me about it, and it’s quite dedicated to Japanese for English learning but it can work pretty well backwards.

    Cheers.

    Hehe, saw this a while ago. Its made by 2 japanese comedians who call themselves “Ramens” (ラーメンス). They have some other funny stuff too.

    And go search video.google.com for “hard gay” :razz:

    People should be aware that the 24 Fighting Chickens website presents a lot of strongly biased, controversial opinion about the martial arts.
    The explanation that we received in our karate dojo more closely follow this:

    Otoyama-san, thanks for the article! Great read. Very interesting. Where is your dojo located?

  12. avatar Otoyama Ken Says:

    Hello Peter-sensei-
    Our dojo is in Riverdale, New York, http://www.riverdalekenshikai.com , demo Brooklyn ni sunde imasu.
    Kenshikai is an offshoot of Seido Karate, which is an offshoot of Kyokushin.

    By the way, I really like the podcast, Having gone through all three levels of the Pimsleur series, your lessons are filling in a lot of gaps, and quickly improving my japanese. Mainichi nanika atarashii benkyou ni narimasu, ne.

    Osu!
    Ken

    Ken-san, Maido doumo arigatou gozaimasu! I have a friend here who was one of the top Kyokushin fighters in Japan. Name: Takahiro Suzuki. I really wish I had gotten into martial arts when I first got here, but……
    Thank you for introducing the styles, I will look into them more.
    Thank you for the complement! Yes, are working quite hard over here at our own style, and it is great to hear that you are enjoying it. We have a whole lot more in store, so stick around!

    Kongo mo mainichi kiite kudsai!

    Osu!
    Peter
