Neat. A little all too basic for me, but everyone has to start somewhere right? Hope to hear more lessons soon.
Thanks! I think for the next lesson (should be out Friday or Saturday) we’ll do some beginner stuff and some advanced stuff.
Thanks for listening!

Please keep the podcasts coming…it is awesome. I have no experience with Japanese beyond hearing it while I read subtitiles. This is a great experience/opportunity for me.
Any chance you might add a minute or two about culture? It might be just as interesting for us non-Japanese to get a better understanding of some of the background/context for what we see in most anime.
Glad to hear it! We may also try to add some shorter lessons during the week. We set up audioblogger so Hitomi can call in and use her cell phone to make posts.
I’ll ask her to add some cultural stuff to the next lesson.
Ganbare!
So I have thought about listening to the Japancast podcast for a while now, and only finally started today. I was wondering if you would consider putting “transcripts” of the lesson’s up?
Not just the Japanese Characters, but a Phonetic spelling in English. I was trying to take notes, but I had a hard time catching the correct letters and vowels to be able to practice when after the lesson is over.
For an example look over at may audio and video podcasts are starting to include a transcript, and I just thought I would ask.
Thanks and I look forward to listening
Yes, we’ve been doing this for a while. Keep in mind that lesson 1 was posted in 2005 and it’s now 2007. Thanks!
Thank you soo much for giving us the best Japanese lessons out there!
where can i have the transcritp?
I just found your podcasts today – great so far! It must be enlightening to be married to someone who speaks two languages so well. So… thank you for doing all these! Arigatou gozaimasu. =)
