I did the survey. The question on when I downloaded podcast I couldn't really answer, as I watch your site with a Blog aggregator (Bloglines), and then download it whenever it tells me there is a new one there. So I clicked the first option, as I had to click something.

Note, when I download is different than when I listen to it. I download the podcast and then listen to them later on my MP3 player. As such, I have only gotten through about lesson 20 for now.

If you haven't covered it yet, I'd love to hear more about how spoken Japanese is different than the version taught in schools. For example, how men and women speak differently (often shows up in different sentence endings, like women say ね more from what I have heard).

Thanks for doing these!

I would have to echo ピーターの考え方。The question about when I download didn't apply, simply because there isn't a set schedule. Now, I've subscribed to the RSS feed, and I don't pay close attention to when I download. Using iTunes, I believe it may check any Podcast feeds for new entries, everytime you start the program, or even at intervals. And also like ピーター, I listen or view whenever I have a chance.

I am having a good time with your Learn Japanese series. I hope as you become more professional at this, that doors open up for you, Beb, and the others who help teach and explore the language.

One thing that makes your series more challenging and helpful is your skit recordings or field recordings of true conversational Japanese; that is, at the proper speed and tone of a native conversation. For a book learning student like myself, understanding what is being said is difficult, when the speakers don't hyper-enunciate the words, as they do in my Pimsleur language recordings. Pimsleur's method is very helpful and constructive, though, I can see that when confronted with relaxed conversational Japanese, it leaves me a little unprepared. While I can comprehend the fast passages of that learning series, I think I've become accustomed to the voices of the reoccuring speakers. In your series, you're introducing a lot of new speakers, which not only presents a true-to-life scenario, it's kind of the point when learning a language ね～。

To soften the challenge of your real-world conversations in the series, you slow the speech down and hyper-enunciate the syllables. I find this really helpful. Varying the speed as you do is great. Once I'm familiar with the components, I can pick them out of a speedy run-together sentence.

So, thanks for doing this.
