Armadillo Assault!
Saturday, March 4th, 2006皆さん、(Mina-san) Apparently armadillos hold grudges!!!! The one that caused all the problems last week was not happy about the way he was roughly escorted off the premises, and he showed up again! And, this time with friends!! Due to the loss of natural predators, their population is uncharacteristically high! This fact combined with our light security crew led to us being overun quickly! The small pack of them did quite a number on us, until we apologized profusely!
The end result is that things should be much better now. If anyone is experiencing extremely slow download times with itunes please go to iTunes� –> podcasts, RIGHT click JapanesePod101.com and choose “Podcast Update”. This should return download speeds to normal.
We have had some reports of individuals seeing double entries in iTunes. This is a direct result of the “fix” and is normal. You can simply clear one of the episodes from your list by RIGHT clicking it and selecting “clear”.
For subscribers to other podcast grabbers and directories, please update the feed using according measures, and this should return the download speed to normal. You may still experience some sluggishness over the next 24 hours as our new feed propagates through the network.
Again, we would like to sincerely apologize to our all of our valued listeners for any inconvenience this may have caused! Please be assured we were doing everything in our power to get this issue resolved.
If you continue to experience download difficulties, please contact us immediately.
Thank you again.

You’re fantastic! This is so much fun! I found your podcast searching for some other language to learn, and yours is by FAAAARR the best I’ve come across.
So now I got through the first 10 or so lessons on my ipod, and guess what? Last week I met a japanese guy at work. Now comes the fun part:
what he’s saying to me! Everyone was just incredible impressed (me the first:smile). Feels great. We then met his family, and talked some japanese (I still can’t believe that - I actually answered some questions!!!)
It actually works! He understands what I say!! Can you believe that?? And I get - sometime
Now comes the down part: these guys send me a CARD - I mean with strange symbols on it! Gosh, forgot to mention- I never bothered to check out the pdf files as they don’t talk out of my ipod :oops:… Am I supposed to send strange symbols back? oh my… Guess I should check out the Kan-what’s that-corner.
Thanks for the fun, and keep on going!!
