Apparently this lesson was recorded, but never made it into the iTunes feed. We’re not sure what happened, but enjoy anyway!

iKnow is a new language learning site with a social twist. At the moment it only offers English for Japanese speakers and Japanese for English speakers. The plan is to offer multiple languages in the future.
You can build your own list of courses, add friends and track your progress as you study. At the moment they have 10 core Japanese study guides, but more will be added as the site moves out of beta.
Overall the concept is great. Certainly it’s a worthwhile addition to your list of Japanese study resources.

Unfortunately the first Lesson 76 was killed by my computer. Hitomi kindly re-recorded it today, so it’s missing the intro music, etc. We’re going to take the summer off, but subscription donators will still get episodes sent via email. We’ll see you in the fall!

In order to reward those of you who have set up subscription donations, we’ve decided to go back to splitting the lessons in half. There is still plenty of great free Japanese to be learned here, but to those of you who donate your hard-earned money to keep us podcasting, we thought it only fair to thank you by making 1/2 the lesson private.
Japanese Lesson #75
In this lesson I talked about a great blog post on the site “The Life Nippon” which can be found HERE. You’ll also learn a valuable lesson about how to respond appropriately when someone says they aren’t feeling well. It’s a common mistake made by English speakers, so pay close attention!

This week’s episode is brought to you by the brand new Japancast Friends Network. Head to http://friends.japancast.net and sign up for your free account today to meet Japanese girls and guys who are looking for penpals, language partners and more.
In this lesson we cover the often confusing phrase “yoroshiku onegaishimasu”. With no direct literal translation, this phrase can often be confusing to learn. We hope you enjoy the lesson.
Japanese Lesson #72
As I mentioned in the podcast, we’re testing out “User Voice” which gives you the chance to give us ideas and then have other users vote on those ideas. Check out Japancast User Voice.
