Great Japanese lesson. Truly very good, but I want to see the video where you confronted the guy beating up his girlfriend. Which video is that?

Very nice break down of the article, thanks for putting so much effort into this. It was exceptionally helpful.

@Worldtrekker1

Glad you enjoyed it. Sorry for the late reply.

[akagodofheaven]

want that t-shirt !

how to buy it ?

[Gimmeaflakeman]

@akagodofheaven

They sell here for about $US20 (I think). If you really want one... I could find one, I guess. I don't even know if they have an online store.

I had fun with this lesson because it tackles on sentences and somehow I got an idea on how to form them. More of these news kind of lessons please. I subscribed :)

[SinorBlim]

Arent there like a hand-ful of murders in Japan every year ?

[utubefcuked]

you can get a lot of text books and audio materials on Japanese news in taiwan

[JapanAndThings]

Great job. I`ve never seen someone post a vid breaking down a news report like that before. It was interesting.
