I have a Japanese ballet dancer living with my family, and she's a huge help, but the more I can learn the better! I've been listening to the first lesson over and over again, it's really good and very helpful. I'm looking forward to finally going to Japan (although that probably won't be for many years). Thanks heaps. Rosie. Hi Sachiko,

Although Sachiko Nakagome, the teacher or the person who says these phrases, goes a bit quit fast and doesn't allow me to actually get the syllables so i have to write it all down, it's still very good. She did tell me why she goes fast, she's from Osaka (n Japan of course) and she has lived/ lives in new York so.......Anyways this is great i can't wait for my next lesson!:eek::grin::mrgreen: I simply love this, i will not be going to Japan any time soon, but I want to learn as much as possible.

When I gradute High School my parents are paying for two friends and I to live in Japan for one year and if we enjoy our stay then we'll start living there for real! I was so excited when my mother told me, but there was one little problem... the only words in Japanese I really knew off the top of my head were "Moshi Moshi", "Arigato" and some other small words. And my friends don't really have as much time to learn so I guess it's up to me to speak the language so we're not wondering around with not a clue! XD I found you on iTunes and thank goodness I did!
