unbibiumOnce again, know99 in Phoenix is airing Let's Learn Japanese, the show that turned me into a language geek.
Starting today, it airs four lessons in a row every Wednesday. They air from 10:00am to noon, and again from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. It's a college-level course, equivalent to JPN 101/102 if you have the textbooks. That said, some of the skits in the show can be a bit Sesame Streetish, especially in these first few lessons where all we've learned yet is "X is Y" and "This is an X." But it gets much better as time progresses, and to tell the truth, the goofier a skit is, the better you'll remember the material. You get to see a lot of what Japan is like, or was like in 1983. I'll be making posts about it later.
I'm going to try and get all the episodes on tape. And this time, I really mean it. Some weird force has foiled my plans each time so far. But hopefully I'll at least get the first four lessons on tape today, and I can make copies for those of you who want them and can't get to the VCR in time.
