I got together with Beb and studied how to tell someone to cut it out in Japanese. We had a look a standard and kansai dialects and learned a few more useful phrases along the way. Some of these phrases can be a little frank so be careful when using them.

After a long absence Beb is back to teach us how to give an extended self introduction in Japanese. These introductions can be used for introducing yourself to groups of people for example when starting a new job or beginning a Japanese class.

Here is a compilation of all the self introduction lessons and videos we have posted previously. I thought it would be useful to group them together.

Holy energy saving lightbulbs ! It’s lesson #56 with Waka sensei and myself Alex to give you a lesson in saving energy in Japan although it can’t be said it happens much here. Maybe they are as bad as everyone else. But don’t give up friends, the polar bears are counting on us.

We also talked a little about the Japanese homes, double glazing and the death of the Nova Bunny. Quite a mixed bag this week.

So sit back, relax and enjoy the podcast.
